Hack: Making Backgrounds Permanent
This tutorial will explain how to change your background using PSPersonalize. For simplicity I've created a custom PSPersonalize package for the no-swap KXploit method. We're not responsible if you render your PSP useless. Note: This DOES NOT work on 1.51 or 1.52 firmware versions - strictly 1.50! What you need: PSPersonalize (KXpoloit Package) Backup of Original PSP Backgrounds Some new PSP Backgrounds! There are 12 months in a year, thus 12 possible backgrounds for the PSP. You MUST rename the bitmaps you download to XX.BMP (XX represents numeric two digit month) examples: 01.BMP - January 02.BMP - February 03.BMP - March 04.BMP - April 05.BMP - May 06.BMP - June 07.BMP - July 08.BMP - August 09.BMP - September 10.BMP - October 11.BMP - November 12.BMP - December Remember the following rules when using a custom background - the image must be: a 24-bit Bitmap (BMP) <= 150KB in size <= 300x170 resolution Got it? Good. First create a USB connection between your PSP and PC. Extract PSPersonalize_v1a-kxploit.zip to your memory stick under \PSP\GAME - this will create two directories, so you'll end up with: PSP\GAME\PSPersonalize% PSP\GAME\PSPersonalize Rename your BMP's respectively Copy the BMP's to the root directory of your memory stick. If Windows recognizes your PSP as drive letter i: then copy the bitmap(s) to i:\. Browse to the Game menu on your PSP Select PSPersonalize - disregard any "Corrupted Data" - it's nothing Boot PSPersonalize It will automatically detect the BMP's in the root directory. Press "O" to confirm the background change or press "X" to cancel You'll end up at a "finished..." screen. Press "Home" and return to the PSP menu You should see your background, depending which month you selected. If you don't try rebooting the PSP If problems persist, head over to www.dual-scene.com - they've got videos demonstrating how to fix common problems people are experiencing. Also a big thanks to dual-scene.com - DrEggman and Vampire for developing PSPersonalize!
