I find this generally useful for those that hate seeing no icon homebrew or ugly icons and wanna change it.

You'll need an application called PSPBrew first. You can download here: http://community.hackingpsp.com/forums/3141/ShowPost.aspx

This application is pretty cool, you can just click on the PBP directly without going through the programme. After loading the PBP from your desired homebrew, you can edit away! Be sure that the eboot must be from your % folder for fw 1.50.

1.2 Background
To change the background image, click background image. (PIC1.PNG)
It must be in 480x272 pixels and must be saved as a PNG, which can be done in any paint programme.

1.3 Icon
To change the icon of the hombrew, click "Main icon. (ICON0.PNG)
It must be in 144x80 pixles and must be saved as a PNG.

1.4 Background Sound
You'll need Goldwave and Atrac codec.
Goldwave: http://www.simtel.net/product.download.mirrors.php?id=59197
Atrac Codec: http://www.free-codecs.com/download/Sony_ATRAC3_Audio_Codec.htm

Open the codec and right click the "atrac3.inf". Click on "install" and click on "continue" after that. After installing Goldwave, choose your sound (less than 55seconds and 500kb) After you're done with your sound, save file type as: ".wav", attribute being "atrac3"(bitrate varies variably with size).After that, drag your file into a folder. Go to Tools - folder options - view and untick hide file extension. Change the extention ".wav" to "SNDO.at3". You can now add this sound to your homebrew eboot via PSPBrew.

After you're done, just click save changes.

I make my own signatures, isn't that an amazing and boring fact for me to put here? Don't PM me with an answer...well you could, give me something to talk about or you would probably be completely rude about the matter....just one more dot? ok ..... .

I think that's the only prob I have..but you can overcome it by making the title inside the bg..just align the font inside your bg according to the icon position you want..you can preview it by clicking on the button above "preview iso".
