i an treying to change the names of the Photo, Game and Music on my PSP following this tutorila posted by
theaceoffire but when i open the topmenu_plugin.rco and try to find the Photo and other text it shows all weird characters. what should i do? (btw i have 3.03 OEB) Step 5. How to create custom text on menus. 1. Either use PSP Filer to go to FLASH0, copy "topmenu_plugin.rco" to Ramdisk, then go to your memory stick and press X and Triangle to dump it so you can use it, or just grab the one you made earlier with Topmenu Generator. Save this file somewhere, and make a copy for us to work on.
2. Install/Run
XVI32, a binary editor (You can use others, but I can't guarantee they will work as well. Use this program to open "topmenu_plugin.rco".
3. I made a
bookmark package for XVI32 that lets you jump right to where everything is inside "topmenu_plugin.rco", you can get that
here. To use it, after opening XVI32, go to "Bookmarks", "Load From File", and pick one of the three from my Zip. To completely customize almost all text, you will need to open all three bookmarks. Just a heads up. After importing them, you can click on each one under the "Bookmarks" menu.
4. When editing your text, ONLY replace letters and symbols. Do not put anything in a spot that has 00 for a binary value. Do not add extra values or delete values, just replace them please. For example, I replaced "P h o t o" in the binary with "T h o r n". Also, you will notice this in the binary:
Quote:
S o m e t h i n g"!
The symbols "! become the copy write symbol later on. If you want to use that space, make sure to change the " in this case to the binary value of 00. Otherwise you will get a strange Japanese letter.
Quote:
For example,
S o m e t h i n g"!
Gets replaced with:
T r e e H u g g e r
but not with:
T r e e H u g g er!
or
T r e e H u g g e"r 5. Once you are done, save a backup copy, and use PSP Filer again. Copy "topmenu_plugin.rco" to your Ramdisk, then copy it to flash0:/vsh/resource, replacing the one there. Press home to exit. If this file is corrupt, the menu won't show. To fix it if you screwed up, use the copy of PSP filer we stuck into /psp/game/recovery. Thank goodness you made a firmware dump, and have the original "topmenu_plugin.rco" (Or if you want, the custom one you made earlier).
