PSP Background Requests - II

Previous thread

Guide to adding a background:

Methods of adding backgrounds:
1. By using the Wallpaper feature of the PSP (Removes XMB waves).
2. By editing the bitmap file in flash0 (Leaves XMB waves intact)(Requires Custom Firmware).

How to add backgrounds by Wallpaper feature
1. Copy image to MemStick:\PSP\PHOTO folder or MemStick:\PICTURE folder.
(No resolution barriers. Image will be scaled.)
2. Go to Photo -> Memory Stick(TM) in PSP.
3. Go to your image.
4. Press triangle.
5. Select Set as Wallpaper.
(In case the image is not displayed, follow step 6 onwards.)
6. Go to System -> Theme Settings.
7. Select Wallpaper.
8. Select Use.

How to add background by editing bitmap image in flash0(Requires Custom Firmware)
1. Boot PSP into Recovery Menu.
(Hold R-trigger while booting PSP.)
2. Go to Advanced.
3. Select Toggle USB (flash0) and connect USB cable.
4. Go to VSH folder.
5. Go to Resource folder.
6. You should see a file named 01-12.bmp.
(Slim also has 13-27.bmp. Thanks Entropy!)
7. Keep a backup of this file and delete it.
8. Now you should prepare your image. It should have a resolution lesser than 480x272 and should be a 24 colour bitmap.
9. Save the image as 01-12.bmp and copy it here.
10. Disable USB and exit recovery menu.
11. You would see a white background.
12. Go to System -> Theme Settings.
13. Select Theme.
14. Select your newly flashed background.

I gave a resize a go
I'm not photoshoppy enough to change the background, but I resized it to about the best you can do with the PSP's resolution, without changing the ratio of the picture, so it still looks sharp.
That's about as much gun as you can get without chopping off his helmet
Feel free to not use it, but I had a crack.

A background with the default wavy lines but with a dark black colouring please...

i already got them on my psp though??? i just want the same thing but in black. I got a slim and lite, the wavy lines are default backgrounds.

Okay, too complicated, i will stick with my dark blue.

can you guys make one with the blues golie manny Legacy (not sure if thats how you spell his name)

AWSOME! THANKS! You know he's the best golilie on the blues Toivinen is worthless. He always goes up agenst the coloumbus blue jackets and loses not that im trying to take any thing away from the blue jackets there good. I just think manny could do A LOT BETTER.

Can somebody make me a background with this kind of effect:


But with the Wolverhampton Wanderers badge and with a black/gold theme?
