Secrets -
Changing Game Background and Save Icons.
Whenever you save a game, one or two pictures are created on your memory
stick:
ICON#.PNG - The 144.80 icon displayed when you select your saved file.
The #, normally 0, may be higher if a game places multiple saves in one
folder.
PIC1.PNG - The 480x272 background that\'s displayed when you cursor over
your save or game disk.
Knowing this, you can customize your save icons and backgrounds by
simply replacing them with new .PNG files. However, make sure that you
keep the new file less than or equal to the original file\'s resolution,
or the PSP will cut off sections to make it fit.
Here\'s a step by step for changing a game\'s save icon:
1) Connect your PSP to your PC
2) Find the save file you want to change. All saves are located in the
\\PSP\\SAVEDATA\\ folder, separated into separate subfolders to keep
necessary files together.
3) Once you\'ve found the save icon you want to change, add .ori to the
end of the file name, in case you ever want to change it back.
4) Resize the image you want as your save icon to 144x80 and save it as
a .PNG named ICON#.PNG (where # was the number found on the file you
renamed).
5) Move the new picture into your target save folder.
Now, whenever you see your save on your PSP, its icon will be the
picture you moved over! Use the same method to change PIC1.PNG files to
your own custom pictures, but remember that the resolutions must be at
most 480x272.Alternate background:- To
change the background of your PSP, just change the month at the "Date And
Time" settings screen.

Ultimate mobile surround sound:- Use the following instructions to
play your PSP games and movies with the ultimate surround sound. You will
need a FM modulator, a cable with a male stereo 1/8" headphone connector
at one end and split left and right RCA connectors at the other. The red
wire with the inline fuse goes to your car battery or switch. The ground
wire grounds to the frame. Set the car's CD or tape deck to the FM
frequency that is on the modulator, which usually is 88.7 or 89.1. Plug
the RCA connectors from the cabe into the RCA jacks on the modulator. Plug
the headphone end of the cable into the PSP. Turn on the PSP. The PSP's
sound goes through your car's antenna. No wires are required hook it up to
your car's head unit. Your games and movies sound will now play through
your car's stereo speakers. |
