XMB Icon Hack compiled by: SoftWareZPirate
Put On AfterDawn By Fr@nkie
USE ONLY THE CORRECT VERSION OF TOPMENU_PLUGIN.RCO OF YOUR FIRMWARE
INSTALL CUSTOM FIRMWARE BEFORE YOU ATTEMPT THIS
BACK UP YOUR TOPMENU_PLUGIN.RCO BEFORE DOING THIS
THIS CAN CAUSE A BRICK! NO ONE WILL TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR IT
Extract this file - http://rapidshare.com/files/9450540/XMB_ICONS_FILEZ.rar.html
You should have another two RAR archives.
xmb-icons-250.rar -- can only be used to make the topmenu_plugin.rco for any firmware above 2.00 (which includes custom firmware)
xmb-icons-150.rar -- can only be used to make the topmenu_plugin.rco for 1.50 (no network icon)
Extract the one you are going to use and you should be ok
OK first lets make your Icons!
[fieldset=Icon Specifications]
[list=A]
[*]64x64 pixels
[*]8 bit color or 256 colors (same thing)
[*]BMP Format
[*]Transparency is defined by "first color in palette order"
[/list]
[/fieldset]
NOTE:The PSP only shows about 60x64 out of the icon. You still need to have 64x64. So leave about 4 pxls of border otherwise it will get cut off.
They also have to numbered in the order that they are in the XMB
Code:
1.bmp -- Settings Icons
2.bmp -- Photo Icon
3.bmp -- Music Icon
4.bmp -- Video Icon
5.bmp -- Game Icon
6.bmp -- Network Icon (only applicable to the 2.50 Icon maker)
So you know your going to be using MS Paint. Probably been a while since you opened it...
Now that you've made your icons, its time to make your topmenu_plugin.rco
Copy your newly created icons to wherever you extracted your xmb icon maker package.
Once you do that all you have to do is double-click the start.bat program and a command console should pop up.
Let it do its thing and once is says konecu scriptu... just hit any button to close the window.
You should have a newly created topmenu_plugin.rco in the same folders as the bmps just waiting to be flashed.
Use the latest version of PSPFiler to perform the flashing of topmenu_plugin.rco. Or you can use the provided flasher.
It will be flashed to flash0:/vsh/resource
Once you successfully flashed your file, exit and enjoy your new XMB icons!

Ok, I tried it.
But the problem is that icons which are in 3.02 but not in 2.5 don't appear e.g the Certificate Utility Icon, the Instruction Manual Icon, the Camera Icon etc (there are just blank spaces where they are supposed to be). This is obviously because the 2.5 topmenu_plugin.rco was used.

Yes it will just extract top menu from your emulated folder, mod it, and copy back.

@Sudds,
Thanks dude, but I was talking about a screen capture of your XMB so I could see what your new icons looked like. I don't think I'll mod mine myself, the only thing i flash is my firmware.

anyway its okay ignore my last post i got it working. but i used a great flasher, not psp filer, it was called, topmenu plugin flasher, an it worked like a charm
for my tutorial on how to change your xmb icons download it @http://www.sendspace.com/file/jcb7v1
ps. it also contains a few icon themes, and it also contains topmenu_plugin flasher which is a lot easier to flash than using psp filer
