RCO Icon Editor — Edit ANY XMB Icon!

greg | February 16, 2007

ZiNgA BuRgA has released what he calls RCO Icon Editor v1.05. Firmware modders will find great interest in this Windows app…

Whether or not you knew this, many of the RCO files found on the PSP’s flash contain icons which can be customized. And knowing that, this tool aims to function as a generic RCO icon editor. Now anyone can easily customize XMB icons — menu icons, battery icon, etc…

RCO Icon Editor v1.05

The RCO must be decrypted first; this can be achieved by using a tool such as PSAR Dumper.

I cannot stress enough… Read “readme.txt” for important information.

Firstly, this has ONLY BEEN TESTED ON 3.03 OE-C and 3.10 OE. I believe it _should_ work on all 2.71 SE and 3.0x OE. For 3.10 OE, customized topmenu_plugin.rco files won’t work, but it seems that customizing other RCOs (eg opening_plugin.rco) still works.

Also note, ALWAYS keep a backup copy of the RCO, incase either you or the program stuffs something up.

its not silly its cool amagine ur psp just like ur ps3(if u have one) (I dont). that would be awsome because we can have the friends on our psp and like stuff like that. Im not demanding im just asking because it would make people happy, and I think some1 should make an Armagetron Port for the psp.

Just to make it clear, RCO flashing is totally recoverable via the recovery menu - it doesn’t mess with the 1.50 subset at all, so it won’t cause a brick (unless you’re one of those people who manage to brick using X-Flash or upgrading a firmware)

Zinga, you lovable genius you :D.

And nuts to all the naysayers. I’m sick to death of everyone giving sh*t to coders. These guys take the time out of their own lives to come up with this stuff and you crap all over it.

Don’t use your own inadequacies to attack people - everyone knows you’re worth nothing anyways.

Erm…

Sorry about that - needed a rant.. good software Zinga :D

I have tested this on an already customised Topmenu_plugin.rco for FW 3.03 OE-B and it works fine so far… I’ve only tested it with the memorystick icon so far… will do more testing later :)

Thx! Zingaburga

Here’s a small tut written by Ruttus about changing the coldboot text - just ignore most of it (not relevant to you), but look at the part about how to use Photoshop to view the picture.

Use an RCO from a 2.50 firmware dump. Anything higher won’t work in this program.

If youre just messing with flash0 cant you always just put back the original files if it doesnt start up? i always read carefully before i do things tho, helped 3 of my friends 2.81>3.03>1.5>3.10 OE-A :D
yea i just put back in my original flash0 and it worked again.

No, other “shit” is for those of us who don’t want to go over to the Michael J Fox of firmwares. You know the kind; shakey, useless, and way past its prime?
