How to Install a PSP Boot Screen
- 1). Attach your customized PSP to your computer using a USB cord and turn your PSP on. On your PSP go to "Settings>USB connection." A PSP folder should appear on the desktop or in "My computer" representing the PSP memory card. On a PC, this is usually the "E" drive. Sometimes the folder is unnamed, but opening it will reveal the PSP folders.
- 2). Eject the PSP from USB mode by dragging its icon to the trash (on a MAC) or by clicking the option "Eject" (on a PC) and then quitting USB mode on the PSP. Keep the USB cord attached, because your PSP sends more data to the computer in step four.
- 3). Shut off the PSP by holding the power switch for five seconds. Turn it back on while holding down the R trigger. This starts up the PSP in recovery mode.
- 4). Select the option "Advanced" and then "Toggle USB flash 0." A folder pops up on the computer, the same as in step one, but the contents are different.
- 5). Go to the "Vsh>resource folder." There will be a lot of files here. One of them is called "gameboot.pmf." This is the file that tells the PSP what animation to play when loading a game. Make a copy of this file and keep it as a back up somewhere on your computer, then delete the original. If you do not make a back up and something goes wrong, you will have no way to restore your PSP's original settings.
- 6). Find the custom gameboot file that you want to load on the PSP and rename it if necessary. The file should be called "gameboot.pmf." Put it in the resource folder.
- 7). Exit recovery mode. The next time a game is started, it will play the customized gameboot screen instead of the usual PSP loading screen.
