I'm sorry to make a poll for this but I am cautious to flashing any gameboots/sounds/wallpapers to my PSP (v2.8). I would like to see the success rate of flashing a custom gameboot and how high the chance of bricking it would be.

(Please vote only if you flashed anything such as custom gameboot, sound, wallpaper ON A 2.80 PSP.)

**Sylar** · 12-11-2006, 01:48 PM

gameboots are like .01 to brick / themes are about the same boot sounds get risky

**tommy pees ALOT** · 12-11-2006, 01:56 PM

Really? In the other thread, they say gameboots are more of a risk. I would just want a gameboot that would say "Tommy's PSP" just incase someone tried to steal my PSP. x]

**785274** · 12-11-2006, 01:59 PM

ive flashed all my themes, font and gameboot. i flashed the themes like 20 times , font like 5 times and gameboot like 15 times and no brick.

**Wooky** · 12-11-2006, 01:59 PM

i dont wana flash any boot sounds.. dont trust my luck somehow. Flashed the gameboots and fonts and a black wallpaper. all easy if you follow the guides no problems

Dimmed · 12-11-2006, 02:04 PM

boot sounds are not too bad, its just annoying only psp filer can do it, i dont like having todo it manually, just incase.... but yeah, i have flashed gameboots, bootsounds and wallpaper.

**tommy pees ALOT** · 12-11-2006, 02:43 PM

Question, does the gameboot include the sound?

**J_C_103** · 12-11-2006, 02:49 PM

Same... if you dont belive me see my video =)

**aky101** · 12-12-2006, 05:53 AM

u cant brick when flashing a theme even if it is corrupt it will display plain white not brick because checksum on 2.8 doesnt check for modification on this or gameboot or opening sound but opening sound is m0st risky if corrupt psp wont boot like poor madsouls psp.

**TheXxBestxX** · 12-12-2006, 07:12 AM

me too. flashed only when u have guts. yeah, i have video too. in my signature.

**AndyMosh** · 12-12-2006, 07:13 AM

Do you realize that you just said a corrupt theme won't brick your PSP, then said that a corrupt theme bricked madsoul's PSP?

In other words, yes, a corrupt theme MOST DEFINITELY can brick your PSP -_-

Free play, he said the opening sound was most risky, and thats what bricked
MaDSouL's psp, opening_plugin.rco.

And if you have a corrupt theme, it won't brick, it will just show a white screen.

**aky101** · 12-12-2006, 08:14 AM

thank you andy mosh for highlighting my point what are you reading freeplay.....

**MasterChief117** · 12-12-2006, 08:16 AM

i've flashed a bootsound millions of times on my 2.8 psp. you get a weird feeling in your stomach when your psp doesn't turn on.....i didn't push the switch all the way up

What about a corrupt gameboot as well? It will not brick?

What are you guys even talking about when you say "theme?" A background? Because that's a background, not a theme. A theme customizes the background, gameboot, boot sound, etc. That's why I said a corrupt theme was what bricked Madsoul's PSP - he used a custom boot sound.

**aky101** · 12-13-2006, 01:37 PM

by theme we mean backround eg black wavy backround.

DeathHallow · 12-13-2006, 03:29 PM

I had a few questions. Is there anyway to get that black wavy background?

also lets say you flashed your psp and one day a downgrader comes out. If you downgrate would your psp get bricked or not? (not really a hacker psp pro)

**FreePlay** · 12-13-2006, 07:25 PM

To get the black background, you flash a black background over the originals... 01.BMP through 12.BMP in flash0:/vsh/resource. And yes, you can downgrade after flashing.
