Use customised firmware with Devhook !!!

PSPUPDATES escribió:For those of you who've been bitten by the custom firmware bug, rejoice! One of our forum members, califrag, has been busy trying all sorts of stuff under devhook. Although it was obvious that some of the modded stuff would work under devhook, I'd still thank califrag for going through it all and giving a list of what's compatible and what's not.

There is one pre-requisite though. Don't try this while you're drunk. Messing around with applications like X-Flash can be nasty if you're not in the right frame of mind. So with that in mind let's begin.

What you'll need:

Devhook (preferable 0.44 or 0.45) fully set up with a working firmware dump (again, 2.71 preferably).
A custom firmware - Either Dark_Alex or harleyg's mods will be enough.
X-Flash V12.
The ttf2pgf application if you want to change fonts.

What you can customise:

Debranded Intro Screen (Remove "Sony Computer Entertainment" from Boot or Change cold-boot sound)
Disable "Network Update" icon (still says "Network Update" but clicking does nothing)
Disable Wavy Background effect in XMB
Change Gameboot Video (Use ANY .pmf video under 1.5mb)
Change Wallpapers (Although you can do it normally as well)
Change XMB Font
Remember that mixing and matching files between firmwares can be buggy. Although it wouldn't result in a brick if you're just working with Devhook, it can make emulation much less enjoyable. So please remember to store a backup of your working dump somewhere safe, so that even if the modifications don't work, you can easily revert back to your tried and tested working dump.

Once you've backed up your dump, you're ready to begin modding your Devhook firmware.
