Welcome to our discussion within the PSP Homebrew, Hacks, Apps & Games sub section of the forums, which is part of the Sony Playstation Portable category of this website.
I was looking around youtube for some cool homebrew i hadn't seen before and found these custom emulator eboots. I hated some of the old graphics of the eumlators so these were great for me. I have made a few minor tweaks to some hope you like em
To use these you need psp content manager go to game select your emulator and hit edit, then you change 3 things
Pic0
Pic1
Background music or in some its the pmf clip ( just above background music )
These are really great to just make your psp look as good as it is
If you are doing this on a large file you may have to save the eboot then just copy and paste it into the same file and overwrite the old eboot.

Hi i posted about custom emulator eboots but with those the zip file has all the files already made what if you want to put a new pic on an old game well this tutorial should tell you all you need to know. First you will need psp content manager
Go to google image or wherever and select your image hit copy and paste it wherever you want
Me) My documents>images>Jpeg
Now once its saved select Edit it will open in paint
Go to file select 'save as' you want to save it as the bottom one .png (potable network graphic) and save that wherever you want
Me) My documents>images>PNG
SO now you have a png
double click it and then in the top left select edit it will come up in nero photosnap select resize on the list on the right.
Now if you want to use it as the little icon that shows up you want to go to pixel dimensions and make Y 75-80
If you want to make it as the backgroiund image that shows up go to pixels dimensions and make X 450-500 now....
GO into psp content manager
select your game click it and hit edit now go to icon and select the one you want and do the same with background image
I will make another tutorial on how to do the at3 sounds so you can have music just so expand the experience.
Sorry i haven't found out how to change the little video clip you have to convert it to pmf if any one knows how to do this plz post it thanks
If you are doing this on a large file you may have to save the eboot then just copy and paste it into the same file and overwrite the old eboot. Sorry its just the way it is and is a real pain with psx games.
I can't see why not. The whole thing is still one eboot. nothing's being changed except the pics and sound. As long as the actual game data isn't altered, it should be safe.Trial & error is the best way to be sure.
