tgaWave Custom Wave Texture Injector v0.3

Posted Feb 13, 2007 at 6:55AM EST by QJ Staff

Listed in: Homebrew Applications Tags: Hex, psp homebrews, XMB

Want to pimp your PSP without hassle? One of the few good places to start is with your unit's cross-media bar. The homebrew scene was recently bombarded by a lot of custom XMB waves, so this should be easy. (One homebrew coder even came out with a flasher application to preview these custom xmb waves first before actually trying them out.)

This app that's just been released adds to the long list. However, coder Vulpix's tgaWave Custom Wave Texture Injector v0.3 is somewhat different as it doesn't require hex-editing.

All you need is an image editing program such as Photoshop and you can already edit your wave's texture by applying filters to whatever image. Vulpix was good enough to provide all readers with a step-by-step process on how to use this application:

Open system_plugin_bg_deflate_part2.tga in your favorite image editing program (Photoshop/GIMP/etc).
Change the wave texture as desired by using filters in Photoshop or whatever.
Save the targa file with the same name as you opened it with.
Run start.bat.
Put system_plugin_bg.rco that was created in /vsh/resource/
Done!

This is wrong. You *DO* need to hex edit the TGA. you need to replace all instances of FF with C2 and replace the last 18 bytes with 0B002800DCD501002800000028000 0007073705F6C6F6F70.

An ass to do, but beleive me, it looks BRILLIANT.

Use the file i've linked to below compressed in a zip file.

I've already modded it to work. Just extract the TGA from there and overwrite the one that comes with it.

There's the URL. Enjoy.

semibricked xD f*** 45kb system_plugin_b g.rco

I think it must be under 41kb... and the tga must be 256colors yes -.- damn gimp.. damn paint.net

*system_plugin_ b g.rco replaced* *love DAX, love DAX*

# @ Ryan. A — Guest 2007-02-13 09:37

You might wanna fix what you said. Vulpix said that there was less hex editing involved, not no hex editing involved.

Please read carefully before writing a topic, you just semi-bricked one of your reader's PSP units (DevilGun)

# :) — DevilGun 2007-02-13 09:42

thanks.. i'll try your method :)

# i dont get it... — DevilGun 2007-02-13 09:58

i open the file.. change it.. save it and edit the hex.. but its still not working o.ô

# Oh — UltimaXX 2007-02-13 10:19

Download the file I posted above and try that. It worked for me.

I've uploaded an RCO that uses the flame effect too. Don't worry, it's legal, and if it's not... then the program isn't either.

Download it via the URL below.

Flash that straight to your PSP.

flash0:/vsh/resource/

# lol — DevilGun 2007-02-13 10:36

i thought the point of this program is, to build my own wave.. not to flash yours ;)

# semi bricked being the right word — MickMog 2007-02-13 10:42

anyone flashing with OE must be aware of the risks before he gets there, not only custom, but custom-customising....riskier than the norm.

u gotta learn how to use recovery mode someday....why not when u make a f@ck up as he did, hehe, chillman its not his fault, there maybe a slight language barrier where EVER the author is from....and wherever the downloader is.....

anyone downloadin of the WORLD Wide Web should account for this

# think sense peeps — MickMog 2007-02-13 10:44

if it works for one but not others,,,,are those who got it RIGHT just lucky? or does it work as its instructed???

lol, it works, use it right & check all filesizes & changes with instructions

# _____Warning_Pr oject_________ — Guest 2007-02-13 11:29

When installing a pluggin my PSP brick and now it doesn´t go through the word sony .

I know that there is a recovery menu and i have opened it already but i don´t know how to use it. I tryed some options but still don´t get it.

Can someone help me? Please...

@lex

# ... — Guest 2007-02-13 11:35

This ***** is soo annoying.. Instructions suck too.. people are not born knowing this ***** already..

thats why people are asking and asking how to use it.. Bcause of the LACKS of instructions.

# photoshop — Guest 2007-02-13 11:48

i open it up in photoshop and i can't do anything to it. What am I doing wrong?

# _____Warning_Pr oject_________ — Guest 2007-02-13 12:10

Ok! i know it´s very boring to ear this again but i brick my PSP and i need some help.

So, if anyone has instructions for the recovery mode please send to

@lexoverhead@cl ix.pt ...or...

giabout@sapo.pt

@lex

# calm down — Guest 2007-02-13 12:12

first if your on 3.03 oe-c and 3.10 oe.... just enable flash0 usb and reflash the original file....but if your under youll have to start it all off by putting the 1.50 eboot under:

ms0:\PSP\RECOVE RY\eboot.pbp

good luck

# sorry — Guest 2007-02-13 12:15

it was

ms0:\\PSP\GAME\ RECOVERY\\eboot .pbp

# Hmm — Guest 2007-02-13 14:13

When your psp doesn't go past the SCE intro then just put the original unedited file into your flash0 via the recovery menu.

# color mode — Guest 2007-02-13 15:31

Image>Mode>RGB Color.

double click on the layer and click ok. its now editable.

anything i do from then on makes the waves completely disappear. maybe it has to be a different color mode? a few more guidelines would be nice. :)

# QJ Listen! — Guest 2007-02-13 17:06

QJ editors pleaseee upgrade the tgaWave rar to version .5 thanks!

# ______Warning Project______ — Guest 2007-02-13 23:49

1 question i still have the original unedited on the psp ?

can you tell my old the stapes please

# no such thing as luck — Guest 2007-02-14 05:57

try using the default TGA first. If it still dosn't work, then you're doing something wrong with the hex editing.

# Sorry if... — Guest 2007-02-14 06:04

Sorry if it sounded like I was being rude. But the fact is, regardless of whether it was intentional or has caused problems.

@DevilGun: Yeah, you are supposed to be able to design your own ones, but it seems that everyones struggling.

# Woops — Guest 2007-02-14 06:06

I didn't understand your post properly. Pretty funny since I also posted about Ryan misreading things too...

# AAAAAAAAAAHHH — Guest 2007-02-14 06:50

So THAT would explain why only I managed to get it working. I was using version 0.4, not 0.3, because I came across this proggy on the forums. I guess writing the article takes a bit of time.

QJ dosn't seem to have fixed this or replied to anything. I recommend just going straight to the forum release thread.

# ***** — Guest 2007-02-14 09:58

*****

# Wtf — Guest 2007-02-14 11:28

when i edit it the waves dont in my psp they just dissapear. What ami doing wrong?

# Hmm... — Nazraen 2007-02-14 11:39

The concept of this is brilliant and awesome. But the even after following the instructions to a T, I still have a bricked PSP. WTF!? It's a real shame seeing how I had high hopes for this thing.

# WHAT??? — Guest 2007-02-14 11:48

where is the vsh file directory thing?

# a PSP user! — Guest 2007-02-14 12:52

woah...a PSP user!!! ...lol

I'm a PS user... IN YOUR FACE!!

# Waves not displaying! — Guest 2007-02-20 01:20

No matter what I do, or who's custom waves I try to insert into my flash0:/vsh/resource/ directory, the waves never show up! just a blank xmb background, well the color displays, but no waves :( what am I doing wrong?!?

# blank xmb — Guest 2007-03-02 13:50
