Making a gameboot is quite hard, all i know is for part of it you'll need Sony UMD Tools, it's illegal to download, so you'll probably need to find it on a torrent site.
PSP, all the way from 1.00 to 5.50 GEN D2 - DS Lite w/ M3DS Real (M3 Sakura v1.34)
PS3 3.01 - iPod Touch 2G 16GB Jailbroken - Xbox 360 60GB - PC, Q6600, 3GB DDR2, GTX260 (216) 896MB
Yeah... It is a really long process for just a little gameboot...
I use this for my custom icons on PSX and homebrew eboots.
The icon animations are made the same way, just with different dimensions.
What I do is this.
*Download the video with the part that I want as my gameboot/ icon.
*Cut it using a video editing software. (I use TmpGenc, which I have the full version of
*Then I use a guide that tells me how to format it to a special avi: Here is what I do:
Install AviSynth 1st. Now extract VirtualDubMod to a folder.
Find the file you want to convert. Once found, open up notepad.
Type the following lines in the text document.
-----------------------------------------------------------
THIS IS FOR A GAMEBOOT
-----------------------------------------------------------
DirectShowSource("YOURVIDEOFILEHERE.EXTENSION")
lanczosresize(480,272)
changefps(29.97)
-----------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------------
THIS IS FOR AN ICON
-----------------------------------------------------------
DirectShowSource("YOURVIDEOFILEHERE.EXTENSION")
lanczosresize(144,80)
changefps(29.97)
-----------------------------------------------------------
Replace YOURVIDEOFILEHERE.EXTENSION with the name of the file you want to convert including its extension. For example, I want to make a Gameboot,
Now save your text document in the same folder as your movie file. Make sure you save it as an .AVS file and not a .TXT file. This is done by changing "Save as type" to "All Files" and adding the extension the the filename you are going to save it as, eg, NARUTO.AVS.
Now locate the folder you extracted virtualdubmod to. open VirtualDubMod.exe
Go to File>Open File. Find your .AVS file. Open that. you should now see your video file in the window.
Now go to Streams>Stream List.
Click Save WAV. After it is saved click disable. Now go to OK.
Now go to File>Save As. name your avi file and click save.
*Then you have to use the illegal sony software to create a .mps file
*Then you use the new MPS to PMF converter to get your gameboot.
The process is actually harder, because you have to satisfy the time requirements and memory requirements for the gameboot or icon...
