first off get a decrypted 2.71 dump
get a hex editor

with your hex editor look in vsh/module/opening_plugin (of the decrypted dump)
do ctrl+f and find gameboot.pmf

flash0:/vsh/resource/gamboot.pmf

i changed to

ms0:/PSP/SYSTEM/gameboot.pmf

start from the F in flash0:/ and rewrite the whole line

use filer to flash modded opening_plugin to flash0:/vsh/nodle

this is a great mod for those of you who have jamesbdx's patch and want a custom gameboot.

if you dont have a memory stick in and load a umd, it will just show a gameboot similar to the 0kb gameboot. and game will still work!

cheers to Dark_Alex, noobz, Booster, and team FWI

and please unban birdman!!!

Wow! First wallpaper now gameboot!

[Skyline34]

Wow, nice find thanks!!
So theoretically it's possible to load modules and other stuff from the memory card using this method?

[kerimeton]

possibly, but do you really want to ?

in the end, its gonna take a really long time to load everything, and its safer to have it on flash0, were it cant get deleted unless done with force.

this is small stuff, and its definitly useful, but doing more then this isnt safe in my opinion

[Skyline34]

i guess your right there, i was just wondering but still it's much easier to try gameboots now w/o needing to flash them everytime

[kerimeton]

, also i dont need to worry about the space they take up anymore,

[JordanBlack68]

Nice tho

[muratcan]

Excellent stuff! I'm not worried about flashing risks (Recovery menu FTW!) But for me this is very convenient for changing gameboots quickly, rather than going through the whole X-Flash process.

[gizzmo_jr]

anyone got a sendspace or something of just the opening_plugin?
or can't I just change the one i have on my psp already? (SE-C)
