ASCII Boot Splash v0.2 – displays text file as splash screen
Homebrew developer aliasneo released a new prx plugin over at QJ.NET PSP Development Forum named ASCII Boot Splash.
This allows users to display the contents of a text file as an animated or static splash screen after starting up the PlayStation Portable. This is to be used with the old handheld and NOT with PSP Slim & Lite.
With that said, take note that the program doesn’t work with custom firmwares 3.60 and 3.71. But other than those two, ASCII Boot Flash v0.2 should work fine with any PSP Fat running on other CFWs.
Those who’ve tried the beta version might be interested to know the following changes:
- Code cleanup
- Static splash: You can have a document with one single frame that will be displayed for a fixed period.
- Timing: When using a PSP with the Sony boot logo enabled, the static splash should show exactly as the mini wave behind “Sony Computer Entertainment” “explodes” into the full size wave, and end just before the XMB starts to load. However, when using an “animated” splash, when the splash ends depends on exactly how many frames you use. When CBOOT is disabled, the splash should display shortly as the XMB loads.
- Other minor changes. (input file now called splash.txt)
ASCII Boot Splash v0.2 comes with a Readme.txt file containing information on installation, proper usage of the plugin, and other reminders from aliasneo. Browse through that first before doing anything to avoid any problems.
