No-flashing Cintro mod for 3.03 OE-A' & 3.03 OE-B

[dark420bishop]

Use Cintro without having to risk bricking! No flashing involved!

Okay everyone probably already knows this but there's an easy way to fix the original Cintro to work on 3.03 OE-A' and 3.03 OE-B. I claim no credit for any of this. I just rearranged the files using Piccahoe's release (http://dl.qj.net/CIntro-PSP-Homebrew-Applications/pg/12/fid/10679/catid/140) and Shadowz' (http://forums.qj.net/member.php?u=43783) guide (http://forums.qj.net/f-psp-homebrew-discussion-12/t-guide-using-cintro-without-writing-to-flash-on-300-custom-firmwares-89753.html).

Thanks to Piccahoe & Shadowz.
More thanks to Sorin P, C, and dark_alex.


Update:
* Jan 25, 07 - This is not working on 3.03 OE-C right now because the auto-boot function is reportedly broken in OE-C. I expect this to be working again in the next firmware update.

Thank you, this is great news.

could you explain to me how to use this please

Ok what it does:
Allows you to play a pmf file when you boot your PSP, when used with OE's built-in "Skip SCE logo" feature, it effectively replaces your sony boot screen with a custom video. This is an alternative to Kando's CIntro mod v2 which also uses Cintro but flashes the pmf file. This allows you to use cintro and change your pmf at will without ever having to do a potentially dangerous flash write.

How to use it (RTFM!!):
1. Copy the contents of MS_ROOT to your memory card.
2. Power down completely, enter Recovery Mode (Hold R during power on)
3. In Configuration menu, enable "Autorun program at ...",
set "Game folder homebrew" to "1.50 Kernal" (if it's not already),
(Optional) enable "Skip SCE logo".
4. Copy the pmf file you want to your PSP/System/Intro folder and name it intro.pmf.

Done all of it and it works. Thanks.
But I've been google-ing for a little while now, but can't seem to find any pmf movies to use with it.

Do I make them myself (if yes with what program) and/or is there a source on the net where I can find a lot of them (if yes where).

Thanks

There is a custom gameboots thread (http://www.psp-hacks.com/forums/viewforum.php?id=19)on PSP-Hacks (http://www.psp-hacks.com/forums/viewforum.php?id=19). I thought MaxConsole and QJ.net forums had similar threads but I can't seem to find them now. Also, use Google. You'd be amazed at what you can find with little or no effort.
