------------------------------
PSP Submenu Icon Injector v2.0
------------------------------




-------
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, and Game Sharing. This 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 of the potential for abuse.

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

1.  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 made for you.  (Not compatible with 3.1x topmenu plugins yet.)

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

	MICROSOFT http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=7b9ba261-7a9c-43e7-9117-f673077ffb3c&DisplayLang=en

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




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

1.  Select your topmenu_plugin.rco and select the icons you wish to inject.

2.  Hit the Inject button.

3.  Flash your topmenu_plugin.rco to the f0:/vsh/resource folder with your favorite flashing utility (I like the new flash-USB access in OE-C and above).  




---------------
TROUBLESHOOTING
---------------

1.  First thing to try if you are having problems is move your topmenu_plugin.rco and all the icons you intend to use to a more simple directory path, by this I mean something like "C:\PSII".  

2.  If you get the error that your icons are too big and the topmenu does not work.  Now you know why it doesn't work.  Double check that your icons are the correct format and size.  The most often mistake people make here is forgetting to reduce the icon to 256 colors.

3.  If you still experienc problems try running in Slow mode by checking the Slow checkbox on the left.  If that doesn't help, you can try checking the Stop checkbox instead.  These give your computer extra time to wait for the dos programs to finish, as they are the source of all the remaining compatibility issues.

4.  The last resort.  If nothing else works, check the Stop checkbox.  Now each time the program says "If you experience the reocurring temp.mig file error, run bmp2dat.bat in the FILES directory now.", go into the FILES directory and run bmp2dat.bat.  Do this each time the program gives you that prompt.  Note:  if you follow the instructions in step 1 carefully, this _should_ never be necessary.  However, I want to give you this option so that I can guarantee the program to work (one way or another) for everyone.

5.  If for some reason you should still have problems, please contact me via personal message through QJ forums or the IRC channel in irc://IRC.Toc2Rta.com/PSP and I will do my best to help solve your issues.  :)

FUTURE EXPANSION
----------------

I would like the program to be able to change the Network Update, still.  However, that is one of the submenu icons which is a different size and there current exists no program to convert an icon to the proper format.  I will be trying to contact the creator of the image conversion programs, kgsws, to see if he might make one for us.  I'm currently thinking about expanding the program to do all the settings icons but I would much rather spend my time working on creating a program to mod the icons for the new 3.10 topmenus.  As soon as people start publishing the icon offsets, I will most likely start working on it.
