             PSP system sounds exchanger            

                       v0.1                    
***************************************************

- Okay, what is this application?

Auris can make FW2.50+ compatible system_plugin.rco
file, (which is  used  when  you  are  in  XMB) and
htmlviewer files for FW2.50-3.03  or FW3.10+ (which
are used in the PSP's internet browser).

Every system event has sound: cursor move, clicking
on icons, back, warning, etc.  With  Auris  you can
make own, customized rco/snd/res files using unique
sound effects: you have to  convert any audio files
to VAG (PSP compatible sound file) and load them to
Auris. And then just  click on 'Create' button, and
that's it!  You  can use  the created files  on any
custom firmware (from 2.71 SE to 3.xx OE)  or in an
emulated firmware with Devhook.

Note: Auris needs .NET framework 2.0. You can get it
on  Microsoft's homepage (a link to download center:
microsoft.com/downloads/Search.aspx?displaylang=en)


- Errm... VAG files? Can I create these with Auris?

No, you can't. Use  MFAudio  and convert your files
to VAG.


- What is Auris do exactly?

First of all, Auris  checks  the VAG file, you want
to use. It checks its  header,  the end-of-file and
the size. If everything is ok, Auris  loads  it. If
not, Auris give  a  warning  message  into the 'Log
Window'. Why  is  it  important? Because  Auris not
lets you to use bad files.
Auris checks the filesize too, not lets  you to use
big files: the  maximum  filesize is  100880 bytes.
Why 100880? Because the playing length is 4 seconds
and it's the maximum what a PSP could use.


- Why did you do this program?

I created some rco file and many PSP owner asked me
to create new ones. So I thougt it's a good idea to
write  an application that can do the whole process
instead of me.  And anyone could make a  unique rco
with it.
I'm not a coder. I downloaded  Visual Basic, bought
a book about it and made this program about a week.
I hope someone finds Auris useful.


- Holy s#&@! I screwed up my original rco!

No problem. Auris can make:
* system_plugin.rco
* htmlviewer.snd
* htmlviewer.res
files, with the default PSP sounds. So just 'Create'
one to yourself!


- Lets see... how can I use this stuff?

Its so easy.  Click  the  radio  buttons  for  each
sound, select  the  'PSP default'  sound, a  unique
file  with 'Custom:' button  or  'No sound' (if you
like silence). You  can  see every parameters:  the
filesize, the  playing length, the  final filesize,
and the log messages. If you  selected  all sounds,
click on 'Create' and  save the new rco file. After
this you  have to  flash  the newly created file to
the PSP's flash memory.


- How can I flash the new rco to my PSP with Auris?

No way. Do it yourself. If you  don't know  what to
do, search a  trusted site  over the net and follow
the instructions that you find there.
Note: There is always a small chance to  brick your
PSP when you copy files to flash memory.


- Is there any chance to Auris brick my PSP?

Auris  is a  Windows  application, it's  creating a
file  and  that's  it. It  will  never  ask  you to
connect your  PSP to the  PC, so it's impossible to
Auris will brick any PSP.


- ... and the newly created file will brick my PSP?

Even if I tested in  various conditions and created
many files, Auris  may contains bugs. Theoretically 
it  creates  perfect files, but...  anything  could
happen.



KNOWN BUGS
==========
After you  created  a file using custom sounds, the
you  are  unable  to  make  the  default,  original
system_plugin or htmlviewer file because the header
will contain bad datas. I have to check what causes
this problem.  In any other cases the file creation
seems to be perfect. 



CHANGELOG
=========
v0.1  [11-03-2007]
New capability added.  You can make full sound hack
with the new  htmlviewer creation option. Auris can
now make:
- htmlviewer.snd 	(FW2.50-3.03 compatible)
- htmlviewer.res 	(FW3.10+ compatible)
- system_plugin.rco	(FW2.50-3.11 compatible)
Changes in the window colors.
Tooltips added.
The  first  beta  had  a  bug at  the  Error  sound
filesize display, now  it's ok. But it may contains
other bugs...

v0.01  [04-03-2007]
Initial Release. The application could do only
system_plugin.rco.



POSSIBLE TODOS
==============
- selectable header for future rco creations
- analyze file: search a file for VAG content
- split file: split an rco to header and VAGs
