Load gameboots from memory card on 2.71 SE

If you don't want to flash a new gameboot to your PSP due to flashing risks, then the amazing Birdman has come up with a way to load a gameboot from your memory stick on Dark_Alex's 2.71 SE Custom firmware. That's right, no more harmful flashing, just a bit of time and you can load your gameboot from your memory stick. All you need is a decrypted 2.71 dump, a hex editor, and you're ready to go. Here's how you do it:

1. Get a decrypted 2.71 dump and a hex editor
2. With your hex editor look in vsh/module/opening_plugin of the decrypted dump
3. Press ctrl+f and find gameboot.pmf
4. Then change "flash0:/vsh/resource/gamboot.pmf" to  "ms0:/PSP/SYSTEM/gameboot.pmf"
5. Start from the F in flash0:/ and rewrite the whole line
6. Use filer to flash modded opening_plugin to flash0:/vsh/nodle
   

If you dont have a memory stick in or the memory stick without the custom gameboot stored on it and load a UMD, it will just show a gameboot similar to the 0kb gameboot. and game will still work! Thanks to Birdman for making this guide and to kando for the tip! You can find firmware 2.71 at our downloads site below, but you will have to decrypt it yourself as we cannot host the decrypted files for legal reasons. Have fun customizing your gameboots, you could even have one as cool as the Prince Of Persia one above!
