NFO:


Dear QJ forum users that were bricked by my careless lack of testing myself. I am sorry that it semi-bricked you. The ability to produce opening_plugin.rco's has been removed. I will research as to WHY it does this in 3.71 and make a brand new version. I will also look into why system_plugin_bg.rco's also are weird in 3.71. Please enjoy this semi-propered release.


Enjoy.

Thank you! Now I can make a version of Ambient Perspective with a bootwave! It always corrupted the wave when I tried to extract it from my system_plugin_bg.rco, for some reason. I really appreciate this!

[Seven_]

Awesome. Now I have another reason to update to 3.60 +

[madsoul]

so... this would mean we can change the icons on 3.71 M33 for slim now?

[lifey]

thanks for sharing your works with us..........

I think he means for the old psp, but I'm guessing it works in CXMB for the Slim.

[Archaemic]

No, he means that we can edit the waves in 3.71 RCOs. I was editing 3.71 RCOs earlier today, but I can't do anything with them yet.

cxmb dont work on 3.71...

[Greyone]

we cant make custom themes but we can use custom waves

[Archaemic]

No, read my last post.

E] Unless this creates an RCO of the same size?

The unlocker program unlocks your flash0, meaning you can read those hidden files and folders and also write to them just like any other older firmware. This nullifies the need for CXMB since we can flash it now.

And yes it works for both Slim and Fat. I tested it myself, and had a few others test it too.

All that was required was a simple DOS command: ATTRIB -H -S /S /D
My little script determines if you actually need it unlocked, and if your flash0 is not unlocked yet it will run the command and unlock the flash0.

The next version of my program will probably be a GUI and either run on PC or PSP. I am not sure which would be a better one to target.

but didnt sony make so that the psp would brick if you changed anything on the flash0 in the new firmwares...?

Only 3.60+ needs unlocked. You arn't understanding what I said.

This doesn't enable any new features like that. Reread what I said and come back once you understand it.

[madsoul]

im on 3.71 M33 on my slim psp. and i was using cxmb when i had 3.60 M33 sisnce we couldnt flash to the flash0 without bricking. but now the plugin dont work. i gues my lack of english is the problem. sorry. i just got it as if we could start flashing to the flash0 again.

[pepsiman14]

i semi-bricked doing this, how do i fix it?


i can still go to recovery

[UncertainGod]

Ok, I just tried this on 3.71M33 on a PSP-1003, using one of the default TGA's that come with the app (flames.tga). The program generated the files, I copied them across to the flash0, and got a semi-brick for my trouble.

Is there anything you need to do different from the normal instructions to get the generated files to work on 3.71M33?

[wrcsti]

i cant see all of my flash0, i see only like vsh font and resource and etc inside vsh

[pepsiman14]

thats what happen to me

EDIT: just made a pandora's battery and trying to downgrade to 1.50

All the unlocker does is remove hidden and system attributes from the files.

This doesn't change the ability to used decrypted rco files from what i tested yesterday on 3.71m33 and what i tested on 3.60m33. Although i didn't try it with system_plugin_bg.rco I only used a decrypted topmenu_icon.rco and that DEFINITELY didnt work.

I even put back the +r +s +h on the topmenu_icon.rco and it didnt work.

I even went as far as using a date changer app to match the created/modified dates on the original file and it didnt work.

Just to for warn you...if you remove and replace flash0 files, eventually the psp corrupts it.

Here's what happend to my 01-12.bmp on 3.60m33 after trying more than 10 times to get a custom wallpaper to work! If you dont want to corrupt your flash files, I suggest waiting for a ported version of cxmb.

\This has been stated over and over. 90% of the flash files are read only/hidden/system attributes.

In order to see them in windows explorer you hvae to enable show hidden files, and remove hide protected system files. Then all 22mb of your flash files show up.

I guess the person I had test was wrong then. Damn.

You didnt test also?

[mohaas05]

this is the first step to total 3.71 customization. and its been pretty fast too! this will make me lean more towards 3.71 m33. (perhaps ill wait until the 1.50 patch but i have pandora with 1.5 firmware so i dont really need it. plus i kinda like my applecor theme so we'll see.)

[Antik]

When I've replaced the system_plugin_bg.rco with one I've made using the program, it was ok! But as soon as I've copyied the opening_plugin.rco into flash0 , the PSP semi-bricked! I think this is what happened to pepsiman14 and UncertainGod also! Can you tell me pls where I can find a good eboot.pbp to run it from the Recovery menu?!

[Vulpix]

Link removed until further notice.

[Antik]

or if someone sends me a backup of their own flash0 so I can replace with mine... might work or not?! what shall I do to unbrick the psp?! pls

[UncertainGod]

Yes it's definitly only the opening_plugin.rco that is causing the brick, the generated system_plugin_bg.rco seems to work fine, although some of them look a bit odd.
