[RELEASE] Wallpaper Changer

Here's a really small one

HELLCATs Wallpaper Changer

The name's the deal - this changes your wallpaper for the XMB, no more, no less

However you have a few features:
  • Two modes of operation: "Everytime" and "Once per day" (see readme for details)
  • You can set special, predefined images for a specific date (again, check readme)
  • change the XMB background *BEHIND* the waves (a.k.a. 01-12.bmp) - WITHOUT writing to flash!
  • Randomizing/Changing of PTF themes
  • Randomizing/Changing of gameboot
  • Randomizing/Changing of XMB waves
  • Randomizing/Changing of XMB font
(the second one lets you set a fixed wallpaper for the specified date instead of using an all random one)
Everything is done without writing - or even touching - flash0:!



That's it.
Short and painless.
Maybe someone might like it

UPDATE 1.20
  • added option to disable PTF changing/randomizing
  • added randomizing/changing of the gameboot
  • added randomizing/changing of custom XMB waves (system_plugin_bg.rco)
  • added randomizing/changing of XMB font
  • added file extension filter for scanning directories
    i.e. it will now only fetch .BMP for wall-/wavepapers, .PTF for themes
    and so forth....

UPDATE 1.14
  • Fixed some lockups during start
  • Fixed another conflict with wavepapers in "Once per day" mode
  • added PTF changing/randomizing
  • Added two PC based (Windows) tools for making propper 01-12.bmp replacements (background behind XMB waves) and perfect 480x272x24 PSP wallpapers you can then use with the Wallpaper-Changer.
    Both tools take various image formats in any possible resolution as source images and should make most converting tasks very easy (two mouseclicks, and you're set )

UPDATE 1.10
  • Added capability of changing/randomizing the background *BEHIND* the XMB wave lines
    (WITHOUT touching the flash0:! So, perfectly save )
    Read the notes about this in the readme when having trouble with it!
  • Wallpapers are now finally copied BEFORE the XMB loads, so you see the change imediately, not at the next reboot
  • Major internal changes (making the plugin pure kernel mode and dealing with the consequences), the usual bug hunting and some cleaning up of the code.

Here's the download:
Wallpaper Changer 1.20


Source is included in the archive


This PSP CFW plugin comes with two PC based (Windows) tools!
They are for converting images into fitting wallpaper .BMPs or propper 01-12.bmp replacements.
Theese tools take a lot different file formats at any resolution and spit out the propper file with a single mouseclick.
That should make/convert wallpaper or wavepaper images a lot more easy, esp. the wavepapers (01-12.bmp replacement).
Theese tools take care of everything
Check the seperate README in the PC_Tools folder for more details





Meow!

Yes, no touching of flash0

The ironic thing is, the actual "redirect" of the background was a pice of cake, it was a nasty sideeffect to the CFW that took me ages to workaround *lol*

No, TM is not interfering, but there's a bug I am currently hunting that's causing lockups at start....
