-------
SUMMARY
-------

This program will allow you to change the icons for your XMB Camera, RSS Feed, Online Instruction Manual, Remote Play, Certificate Utility, Location Free, Internet Browser, USB Connection, Game Sharing, Loading Icon, Corrupt Icon, and all Settings Menus. I can now brag that my program changes ALL the regular sized sub icons in the topmenu. Change as many or as few as you like. The program is designed so you can take your current topmenu_plugin.rco and change only the selected icons so that you don't need to remake your topmenu_plugin and change all the labels. As always, I am happy to share and discuss my source with other developpers but i'm not going to release it to the public because some people take advantage.

WHAT YOU NEED
-------------

1a. A decrypted topmenu_plugin.rco for 3.0x. You can make one of these using any other xmb icon customizing program or you can browse the forums and find one.

AND/OR

1b. a decrypted game_plugin.rco from 2.50. You can decrypt one yourself with psar dumper and the 2.50 update eboot.

2. Visual Basic 6 Runtime Library. Get it here or from Microsoft.

MY SERVER http://fast.filespace.org/dark420bis...me_Library.exe
MICROSOFT http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...DisplayLang=en

3. Icons. 64x64 pixel 256 color bitmaps with a file size of roughly 5.05 KB.


------------
INSTRUCTIONS
------------

1. Select your plugin file and select the icons you wish to inject.

2. Hit the Inject button which applies, either Inject Topmenu or Inject Game.

3. Flash your plugin file to the f0:/vsh/resource folder with your favorite flashing utility (I like flash-USB access in 3+ OE firmwares).


----------------
ADDITIONAL NOTES
----------------

-3.0x topmenus ARE NOT compatible with 3.1x firmwares. There are no programs out yet to change 3.1x topmenus.
-If you get the temp.mig error, try again. If you get it 3 times in a row, check the Troubleshooting section.
-Any time you prepare to mod your PSP, you should back up the files you are about to change.
-The program now checks the size of the icon you are trying to inject. It will not allow you to try to use any icon over 5500. This is to try to prevent the errors users were having from using incorrectly formatted icons.
-The picture to replace the loading icon must be very small. None of the icons I tried from the fat pack worked. I had to make my own so I included the one I made.
-The offset to change the label for your corrupted icon in the game_plugin is 0x2bdc - 0x2bf7 (hex) or 11228 - 11255 (dec).


---------------
VERSION HISTORY
---------------

3.0

Added icons for all Settings menus, loading icon, and corrupt icon.
Changed layout to fit all the new controls.
Icon file size cutoff of 5500 bytes.

[xsorifc28]

nice!

[funnybutrandom]

wow, know any good places i could get some icons?

[nicodemus82]

nice update to a great program well done mate, keep it up...

everything worked great, but I did however get a temp mig error message the first time, but was easily fixed by checking the slow down option..
so anyone getting errors, first try the different options before posting that you can't get it to work..

the only real problem I had is with those damn corrupt and load icons. none of the icons I wanted to use as them would work..

[MaTiAz]

AWESOME!

Well, I just gotta wait 'till they hack the 3.10 topmenus... Oh well

The xmbpackager 0.3 is packaged with the PSP icon fat pack that's been going around. It's also a pretty good topmenu generator.

Checking slow should not be necessary. Just keep trying to inject. If you get the temp.mig error more than 3 times, check the Troubleshooting section. Also, as I mentioned, the picture for the loading icon needs to be tiny. That's why I supplied the one I used. The way I made it was I took a regular sized PSP icon, copied it and blacked out the original, i shrank the copy down 50% then I pasted it back into the now-blank original. That way I get a smaller version of the icon but it's still the correct size and format.

[nicodemus82]

yeah, you're right just trying inject again worked...
I'll try what you said about those load and corrupt icons later..hopefully I'll get them to work..

thanks

[Dybbuk]

Very nice stuff! Been using since the first release. Works great. Thanks

[riper04]

best release yet

[SOGSEAL]

does anyone have sub-icons pack?

[Ranguvar]

What's the prob with editing 3.1X topmenus? Is it impossible, or did they just change the format abit, so a new wau to edit them soon?

[d1ckies]

After getting this, i try to launch it and it doesn't work, it says "system error &H8007007E (-21470247770) the specified module was not found"....and v2.0 does the same too now.

Nothing's impossible.

That's not any error message associated with my program. I think it's some issue your system is having. Try reinstalling the vb6 runtime libraries.

[d1ckies]

Got it working, great app. I had to run ccleaner and fix some registries because of active x .ocx errors....thank god for google.

[lifey]

lo dark nice work m8......catch u on msn soon..
and for people looking for icons go find innercry's full icon pack there is a thread about full icon change ..well almost full u know the 1's that can't be changed yet......here is mine......

[xxcooldudettexx]

[transce08]

[xxcooldudettexx]

thanks

[dbz11_2000]

I think I'm going to downgrade to 3.03OA-C because of this lol Too impatient to wait for a 3.1x version

[suloku]

I'm about to downgrade to 3.03, now that we can use any pops on it...

I'm glad to see you got all the icons hacked, and even included me in the thanks to list!


Keep the good work!

[UPDATE]
I've seen some people changing their UMD, MS, NETWORK UPDATE and other icons, when I know how do they do it, I'll let you know.

Meanwhile I have a suggestion: enable/disable the PSP logo under the gameboot intro movie, it is in the game_plugin.rco.

To disable it you have to change the vale in the offset 14869 (decimal) from 7D to whatever you want.

[UPDATE 2]

It seems that the one who changed the UMD&Co icons simply changed them like the other ones, and it worked.

He did it using the "recreate icons by ac_k" program, wich can change all 66 icons (including the shadow and hover ones)

I hope this can help to allow your program to change all xmb icons.

Make one with xmbpackager or similar program. It's not hard.

[Zevlar]

Does anyone know where to get the loading icon from 1.00 bogus. If you can tell me or find it that would be great.

One question....

I know how to create Icons and they are created perfectly 5.5kb and they are 64x64 and 256 colors. These worked on my TOP MENU using another mod.

I created another Icon to try out this mod for USB Connection.

The icon is 64x64 / 256 Colors / 5.5 and it WONT WORK..

Whats up with this?

I checked the actual real size of the file:

This software requires: 5.174 bytes
Mine are : 5.176 bytes.


How do I take off some bytes off my image? and please would you take this LIMIT off in a new releases.. IF people gets over the size then they'll mess up the thing and XMB wont load for them.. if they are right on it or under GOOD for them.

If my TOP icons were fine using 2 more bytes... The USB connection would too.. But this limit is just messing things up.


Would someone help me here? i have no idea how to cut off 2 bytes from my icon.


Thanks

[Stonecoldboy3]

does this work on 3.10oe-a since u cant put a top menu plugin

Mime, the limits are there to prevent semi-bricks from happening, which is what could happen if you start overwriting the wrong things in your topmenu. Actually the program will let you try to use bitmaps up to 5500 bytes long. What's happening to you is that the converted size of the bitmap is too large for the slot. See the real issue isn't the actual size of your bmp, but how large the dat file generated from it is going to be. If the generated dat is too big, then writing it will almost certainly result in part of your topmenu being damaged. Part of designing good software is trying to reduce any possible source of error. These checks are not optional. But what you can do is shink the generated size of your icons by making them simpler. Try shrinking the image so that the icon (same dimensions of course) has more blank space in it. Also you can try reducing the number of colors in the color palette. I had to do both these things to create an icon that would work in the loading icon position (for which the resulting dat file must be less than 667 bytes in order to fit).

I'm not sure if the game plugin will work on 3.1x firmwares. I don't have a way to test it myself. If you try it, let me know if it worked. To others reading, just a reminder, 3.0x topmenus not compatible with 3.1x firmwares.

[Stonecoldboy3]

is there a way to go to 3.03 oe-c from 3.10 oe-a2

[Mime]

Thanks for your help,

I cant edit the image further though; if I do it'll get screwed up. I don't understand why my icons are 2 bytes over.

Would you tell me how you do your icons ? or at least what software you use? or.. any quick procedure?


Thanks a lot !

I only made a few icons and only when I had to. I use Paint Shop Pro for my image editing. The quickest procedure to figuring something out is reading the manual. So get a image editor and open that help file. Good luck.
