I want:
-Custom PRX loading at boot;
-Custom XMB icons;
-Boot-up key combinations (eg, IRShell);
That's about it really, I don't need much else.

Support for all demos would be almost impossible. It would require spoofing firmware v2.82, which would be easily detected by the applications.

X-flash works perfectly; Our only problem is that a lot of the features make changes to offsets in firmware v1.50's system software files. They would be certain brickers if they were to alter a completely different file from a later firmware. Things like Gameboot and font replacement are the only things that could work, and you can do that with "271customizer" or "uFlash".
You also have the problem of almost no space left in the flash after installing 2.71SE, and flashing a large gameboot, font, mp3 or file could create problems.
All these factors deem the check for v1.50 firmware quite necessary.

You can already do that. Go into the configurator and enable the skipping of the SCE logo. That stops auto-execution.

And, Robkellas, don't you mean the XMB? What's an XBM? LOL

I have his email, but I don't think I should give it out. SE-C will have the features Dark_Alex gives it; There's not much point in making requests.

EDIT: Has anybody else had problems with launching the XMB via IRShell? When I do, I get one of two outcomes:
-The screen flickers for about 1/5 of a second then returns to the IRShell GUI;
OR
-The XMB launches, but IRShell has been written off. [L]+[Select] no longer return to IRShell, and the overclocking, music playing etc. has gone.
This means that the XMB kills off IRShell before launching.

It's pretty annoying for me as 222mhz simply isn't enough for the "Game > Memory Stick" area to function properly. Hover over an game or ISO icon and 6 seconds later it appears. 333mhz is what we need.

Actually, I think you can already load custom PRX's at startup using HarleyG's custom firmware.

If you turn off the SCE intro thing in the recovery menu, whatever UMD you have in the drive won't launch automatically.
[Edit:] Sorry LostProphet beat me to it.

Yes, but that's for firmware v1.50.

What CAN happen is this:

We can already load Cintro at boot, how?
The new option is SE-B allows to load an EBOOT on start-up. The mod for Cintro, (Which in-case you didn't know, plays a PMF file before the XMB loads), makes it so that it when the EBOOT is executed, it loads a PRX that plays the PMF and then goes to the XMB.

This means that if anyone here can code, we should make an EBOOT that loads the "AIOMOD.PRX" (Attached), and then goes to the XMB. AIOMOD is a PRX by "ZettaBlade" that provides XMB functions like screenshots, overclocking, lowering the CPU speed when the "Hold" switch is on, and automatic USB.

This sounds really awesome, so if anybody is willing to code it, it'd be amazing!

I would like the possibility of listening to music while viewing pictures. So I can listen to my favorite song while checking out some porn.

That's already possible through iR Shell. What I'd like is for all homebrew to work, IE not appear corrupt. Out of my ~12 homebrews 2 appear corrupt - Squarez and iR Shell. But I know those work - I've managed to set iR Shell to boot at startup. It's just that they appear corrupt through the XMB.
