Aight peeps, you ever tired of seeing the same icons on your psp, you know, these:

How about making your psp look more like this:

Well heres how.

Before I continue though, please do remember that u stand the chance of bricking your psp so please be careful as to what it is you are doing.

Now lets continue.
Note that for this to work you would have had to mod your psp, so far I know this works with the 1.5 mod.

- Go into rec. mode by pressing R button when turning on your PSP
- Connect your USB cable
- Go into Advanced Options > Toggle Flash0 to USB
- Go into vsh\resource and paste the downloaded topmenu_plugin.rco there
- Be sure to make a backup

Now this tutorial is for the icons, note however that the same principle can be used for changing the start up screen, just look for opening_plugin.rco in the same resource folder, I think some other files may have to be added, uncertain though.

Before I forget, if you decide to search for these files, u can try searching for PSP xmb files, you’ll get sites like this one: XMB Evolve a really nice site
Finally a word to the wise, the .rco file your going to use has to be customized for the firmware installed on your psp, so if you have a psp with a 3.4 firmware version, make sure that the .rco file is for 3.4, anything else and you stand the chance of bricking.

Good lucking and happy modding.
