XMB Wave Hack Tutorial

greg | February 7, 2007

I was just browsing through the PSP Hacks forums and came across sepreath’s thread.

sepreath’s XMB Wave tutorial details step-by-step instructions for hex editing the PSP’s wave effect. You can actually manipulate it in various ways — colours, shape, size, etc… Below are two samples:

PSP Wave Effect Hack Sample
PSP Wave Hack Sample 2

The supplied xmbWave Packager, by vb_master & DarkStone, includes instructions for re-packaging the appropriate file in preparation for flashing it to your PSP. Aside from this tool you’ll require a hex editor — nothing a simple Google search can’t do.

Download: Custom xmbWave Packager v0.1

Once you’re set, head over to this thread.

Flash your background to where the psp’s monthly backgrounds are.

omg how do you do this?
2.Go to offset decimal 530 through 716.
3. Mix the characters between those lines. (keep them seperated by 00 (look like .’s)

it’s on the readme…

WRONG!
works on ALL OE’s and SE’s
peoples, it is VERY simple to do this. Unless of course you want to make your own waves.
But if you look around in forums (not just this sites) you’ll see that thousands of peoples already have pre-made and AWSOME waves ready for you to just copy over your old one.

Happy modding…

I know it works on 3.10 OE-A/A’, here’s a screenshot to prove it. To bad the topmenu.rco or w/e doesn’t work yet…

Check out my Halo font and Gears of War background, lol. With my Sega Gameboot and DAX FW, the only thing that’s actually Sony is the PSP and the battery, my 4 gig memory stick is Sandisk. :P

Could you edit this to do other things then… instead of a wave, could you edit it to show an image moving around?

pacman moving left-right eating dots?

mario running/ jumping into coin box/ running off screen and repeating?

I hope this hack evolves into that.

Could This Finally Allow Moving GIF Images As Backgrounds

It’s difficult enough as it is eiting the waves and these are just simple lines. What you huys are suggesting is a totally new mod. If it is possible, I seriously don’t think it’s going to be anytime soon for those kind of ideas. Not with this mod anyway.

there’s a risk of bricking your PSP when you do this because it involves flashing the PSP.
