wannabprogramma wrote:Hey guys, I'm wannab from over at modmyi.com. First, may I say how lucky I feel to have found a psp homebrew site that's still running and has forums still open. I theme jailbroken iPhones, and I am working on a PSP theme. Though there are a couple others out there, this one will be more complete than any before. I have a psp slim, running version 6.10 (i hear that this may be bad???) and I am in the process of making a Pandora battery, but before I do any of this I need to know if I can even get homebrew on my psp, and if I can do what I want with it after I get it. I want to be able to "browse" the system files of the psp (on iphones we call it ssh) so that I can find the images, and maybe even some programs that I could incorporate into my theme. Is this possible? (by images, I mean the keyboards, icons, etc.) Also, the system sounds would be helpful. Any comments are greatly appreciated. Sorry if this has been posted elsewhere, I've looked for a day now. Also, sorry if I posted in the wrong section mods. Thanks again for any replies
im a rookie. like a real noob to coding, but i can tell you lots about PSP's and PC OS's.
after you go m33 then you will hold R to open your recovery and youll be able to make your flash:/0 and all the others usb accessable.
so like say u want to do the whole "fake the firmware trick" (also in this section a believe) youd opent eh recovery menu by holding R on start up till u get to a black menu. youd go to "advanced" and then toggle usb (flash 0 - 1) and if u have a usb cable in, it brings it up on your PC
Hey! I love ModMyi!
right now a great CFW is 5.50 gen-d .... if u play games more than use homebrew (which i guess u dont cause u dont have CFW) then gen-d is right for u... 5.50 gen-d doesnt need to be updated to play newer games, it will automatically patch them in a fraction of a sec for u.... but in 5.00 m33 u will have to manually patch the new games...

That tutorial specifically teaches how to clear some space in the flash0 because back then, people were flashing their custom files to the PSP and most people that "ruined" their PSPs simply overrode files that were either needed or replaced them with files that were too large and couldn't fit into the memory - thus making the PSP "brick". Now, you can use programs that utilize the memory on the memory stick that you're using instead of the flash on the PSP so that it can't brick and pretty much has "infinite" space for modifying, held back only by the memory card size you're using.

I used to know a TON about this type of stuff, that is, modifying the firmware files. It's not too hard in all honesty. The hardest parts would be modifying the sound files like the "tick" when you move around in the menu or making a customized "wave" background for the PSP using HEX Editing - something I got into but stopped because there was already an abundance of customized ones that fit the themes that I was making.
In fact, Sony came out with an official tool for creating your own themes... maybe look around for it. You can have access to change the icon.pmf files (that's not the EXACT NAME) so that you can change the look/ feel or use someone else's pre-made theme.
