Quote: Hello guys
This is a Gameboot Path Modifier Tutorial on how to install it
I'll use my own created "PSPMOD" gameboot to teach you guys.
I tested the gameboot myself on my own PSP, I recorded It but the video at youtube wont have any sound because my Camera has the sound recording feature broken. But this does not mean the gameboot itself does not have sound. it does The sound for this gameboot is me saying "PSPMOD" I recorded myself saying it.
You can watch this PSPMOD Gameboot in Youtube the link to the video is:

If you like it and want to use it you can download it from here: -Remember to rename it 'gameboot' after you downloaded it.

************** EDIT **************
- How to install the Gameboot Feature on your Custom Firmware PSP -
I'm going to teach you guys how to install the one software I use to make the Gameboots work on a Custom Firmware PSP. I repeat ONLY! Custon Firwmare and I mean "OE" Versions. This is Gameboot Path Modifier. What this does is, it flashes your PSP and redirects how it reads the gameboot's path. Hence the name. So instead of reading it from ms0:/flash0/vsh/resource. In your Flash0 folder. It'll read the gameboot on the "ROOT" of your memory Stick after is installed. As simple as that.
Will this brick my PSP? NO. If you heard this bricks then its because some noob didnt have anough space on his Memory Stick when he flashed; or he took the Battery out or turned it off while doing it. The chance of bricking are stupidly low and in my opinion NONE.
Supported Firmwares:
3.02 OE-A
3.02 OE-B
3.03 OE-A
3.03 OE-A'
3.03 OE-B
3.03 OE-C *Tested it myself*
3.10 OE-A
3.10 OE-A' (Rev 2)
PROS:
1 You can easily delete your gameboot from your Memory Stick Root and just add another one. *Theres no need to flash everytime you want it different*
2 You can delete the gameboot file on the root and your PSP wont brick or freak out or freeze. So even if theres no gameboot file on your root everything is going to be all right.
3 IF theres a new Custom Firmware released you can just delete all the files on your Memory Stick and install your new version of a Custom Firmware. In other words this software WONT interfere or increase your chance of bricking. Even if you have this for 3.02 OE and you update to 3.03 OE. It'll be completely fine and safe, and by the time you upgraded the gameboot path modifier will be just 'gone' for good. Then reinstall it again.
4 There absolutely NO size limit for your gameboots since they are running straight from your Memory Stick. So go ahead and add any size gameboot you have.
*** Installation ***
__________________________________________________ _________
1. Download these two files I uploaded myself (Get the right Opening_plugin.prx for your firmware version.
- Gameboot Path Modifier
http://www.mediafire.com/?2lymndr4zmn
- opening_plugin.prx for 3.02 OEs
http://www.mediafire.com/?akd22wzr2uk
- opening_plugin.prx for 3.03 OEs
http://www.mediafire.com/?fwxc0elzzy0
- opening_plugin.prx for 3.10 OEs
http://www.mediafire.com/?djzik3ytitd
__________________________________________________ _________
2. Place them both in a folder or anywhere you want and extract "gameboot Path Modifier. A folder will be created with the content in it.
3. Now copy the file "Opening_plugin.prx" in the root of your Memory Stick.
4. Now you are going to place the extracted folder on your GAME or GAME150 folder. Depending on your Kernel setting in your own recovery mode settings. In my case a Custom Firware 3.02 or 3.03 its GAME150.

5. Now that opening_plugin.prx is on the root of you MS and GBMOD is on your GAME or GAME150 your ready to RUN the program from "GAME" Menu on your XMB and then go to your Memory Card you'll find the Gameboot Path Modifier in there. RUN IT. Its called "Gameboot MS0 Mod" This will flash your PSP.
6. Now if everything was installed the right away. Go to your PSP folder on your Memory Stick and you'll see TWO files. THey are the backup of your
*Opening_plugin.prx" and "Gameboot.pmf" In case they get deleted the software will read these two. How safe is that. GO check you have them.

7. Your done!! get any gameboot you have and place it on your Root of your MS.

NOTE: The gameboot has to be named " gameboot.pmf " or it will NOT work. make sure its always named like that.
I hope you guys enjoy it and if you have any questions let me know. I'll try my best.
Mime.

srry for the lag....what problem are you having?
make sure you get the correct opening_plugin.prx from above, then run GBMOD, press x and then delete the original gameboot.pmf from your flash0...
then put all your new gameboots @ ms0:/...

okay...i know that some things start to glitch in OE-C when you mess with the f0....but, if you deleted the original gameboot.pmf from flash0, then you would free up some space....theres also a 2.5mb font mod for OE-C f0's out there...
if your gameboot is on your ms, and you already ran gb path mod, then its okay to delete the original gameboot, because GBMOD creates backups to your ms0 ..... anyhow...hope this helps, time for ramen...

Works well with no problems at all on my 3.40oe-a! I used the 3.10 OEs opening_plugin.PRX and put the GBMOD folder in GAME150. Just an assurance to 3.40oe-a users that this works well!
