PSP Wallpaper

[Jason Voorhees]

ive done everything like it says. but, it goes straight to the finished screen.

First off I would like to thank PSP-Hacks.com for originaly posting this, they have a great site everyone should check it out! But back to the Tutorial...

There are 12 months in a year, thus 12 possible backgrounds for the PSP. You MUST rename the bitmaps you download to XX.BMP (XX represents numeric two digit month)

examples:

* 01.BMP - January
* 02.BMP - February
* 03.BMP - March
* 04.BMP - April
* 05.BMP - May
* 06.BMP - June
* 07.BMP - July
* 08.BMP - August
* 09.BMP - September
* 10.BMP - October
* 11.BMP - November
* 12.BMP - December

Remember the following rules when using a custom background - the image must be:

* a 24-bit Bitmap (BMP)
* <= 150KB in size
* <= 300x170 resolution

Got it? Good.

1. First create a USB connection between your PSP and PC.
2. Extract PSPersonalize_v1a-kxploit.zip to your memory stick under \PSP\GAME - this will create two directories, so you'll end up with:
1. PSP\GAME\PSPersonalize%
2. PSP\GAME\PSPersonalize
3. Rename your BMP's respectively
4. Copy the BMP's to the root directory of your memory stick(meaning the very first window you see on the stick not in any subfolders).If Windows recognizes your PSP as drive letter i: then copy the bitmap(s) to i:\

# Browse to the Game menu on your PSP
# Select PSPersonalize - disregard any "Corrupted Data" - it's nothing
# Boot PSPersonalize
# It will automatically detect the BMP's in the root directory. Press "O" to confirm the background change or press "X" to cancel
# You'll end up at a "finished..." screen. Press "Home" and return to the PSP menu
# You should see your background, depending which month you selected. If you don't try rebooting the PSP


*edit*
make sure you name the pictures with numbers.

ex: 08 is for August

[Jason Voorhees]

sorry for the double post. i forgot to post the program i used.

[cubenoob]

Nice tutorial and easy to understand.

[kevcart3]

It should also be noted that sometimes you will experience a white screen, simply pressing X on the month again will change it to the desired background.


EDIT: I'm moving this to the tutorial section.

[Jason Voorhees]

i guess this only works with v1.0.

[kevcart3]

Nope, I have a 1.50, works just fine. But sometimes when you change the month, the bg will turn white, all you do it press X on the month again, and it works fine.

[Jason Voorhees]

did you do it the same way as in the tut?

*edit*
doesnt work for me at all. it goes straight to the finished screen and stays there.

Make sure the BMPs are in the ROOT of your psp memory stick. Also, make sure they are named correctly (01.BMP,02.BMP,etc.).

After it says "Finished", You should be able to see the changes when you change the month. If not, reboot the psp, and it should take effect.

[Jason Voorhees]

do i put in the month as well?

ex: 01.BMP - January

[cubenoob]

You mean to rename a file to 01.bmp.month?
Dont do this it wont work if you change the file extension. I´m not sure about it but if you name the file like 02-february.bmp it should work. Just try and error a bit on your own. :p

[Jason Voorhees]

nope, still doesnt work. tryed it like this 3 times.

02-february.bmp
02.BMP - February
02.BMP

*edit*
now that i have the pics flashed. do i still need the pics/program on the memory stick?

[F34R]

For those that are still having trouble with this:

Make sure you arent naming the file 02.BMP.BMP
Sometimes when you save a file with a known file type, it already has the extension added. Double check by showing extensions for known file types:

With windows explorer open ( not Internet Explorer ) go to TOOLS > Folder Options. Click on the VIEW tab, and look for the option to Hide extensions for known file types. Make sure this box is un-checked.

Now go back to your 02.BMP and make sure it has the extension only once.

Also, you do NOT have to keep the file on the PSP after its been flashed. It is safe to erase from the memory stick.

Hope this helps anyone that still hasnt gotten it to work.

to restore the original backgrounds, you need to download the original wallpaper pack here (http://www.tech-addict.net/invision/PSP_Stock.zip) and simply use PSPersonalize again to restore them back to their original state. :D

Yeah it's the same file, I guess when I uploaded it this morning I didn't let it finish or something, sorry.

[Dappabastard]

I have tried this and all i get is the finished......

I have double checked everything and found my images to be jpegs, how the hell do i convert these to bitmaps.

My psp is running at v1.50.

[regurgitator]

Load the pictures into MS paint and when you save them change the format from .jpg to .bmp

[Dappabastard]

Working a treat now, cheers m8 ;)

How do I stop the PSP from switching the wallpaper every month? Also, how can I get the original wallpaper from the psp and use one as a permanent one? Do all wallpaper images have to be in BMP format?:confused: I now these may seem like really stupid questions but can please help me?:cool:

I also wanted to know how to make it stop it change every month...
im using v1.5, it would be nicer if i can change wallpaper without using monthly basis right....

yes all images should be BMP format..
original wallpaper for ur psp, if u read the post carefully, there's a link for original wallpaper. the file name end with stock something... :)

It should also be noted that sometimes you will experience a white screen, simply pressing X on the month again will change it to the desired background.

[jeremy7780]

Hello,

My name is Jeremy and I've decided to work on a small website for PSP

owners who don't like the typing keyboard. One website added, and you

find the links you use most with no hassle.

Please visit mypspgo.mobi which is for mobile devices so they work on

your phone browsers for the most part as well.

Thanks and remember, just because you don't see a linke you would use,

doesn't mean I can't add it.

(please only refer working PSP content to mypspgo.mobi)

This wonderful site has been added to mine to show my appreciation!

[hiaburi]

Cool program
