Homebrew developer Torch has released the latest version of Lockdown. The password program's aesthetic qualities have been kicked up a notch as it now uses the XMB Wave as its background. Be careful though, the program is still in its beta stage. Torch warns that it can brick your unit if improperly installed.

The XMB Wave background is essentially the highlight of this update, which has been tested on 4.01 M33-2 Slim. Here are the dev notes from Torch:

Warning:
  • This can brick your PSP if improperly installed or due to bugs as it is a BETA.
Installation:
  1. Copy the following files to the flash0:/ root directory.
    • lockdown.argb
    • intraFont.prx
    • iop.prx
    • vlf.prx
    • loader.prx
  2. Rename flash0:/vsh/module/vshmain.prx to vshmain_real.prx
  3. Copy the included vshmain.prx to flash0:/vsh/module/
  4. Reboot the PSP and verify that it is working. If everything is fine, then proceed to do the same for recovery.prx if you want to protect the recovery menu as well.
  5. Rename flash0:/vsh/module/recovery.prx to recovery_real.prx
  6. Copy the included recovery.prx to flash0:/vsh/module/
Note:
  • To change the color of the wave you can hex edit address 0x1D8 and change the value corresponding to each month (in hexadecimal).
  • Presently the theme file is called lockdown.argb and is not compatible with Lockdown v3.0 themes as the current version can only load ARGB uncompressed BMPs. The graphics used are included to help make custom themes.

great update to a great app. One question though. Will the waves always be blue or will they change according to the setting?
