Section II : What happened to my custom backround feature?
If you recently downgrdaded your PSP you may have noticed that your PSP no longer has the feature of using your own background or changing the color of the standard backrounds.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
How do I change the color of my backround?
A) On 1.5 since thier is no theme button you must change the month on your PSP. Each month has its own color.(system settings then date and time)
January- Grey July-cyan
Febuary-Yellow August-dark blue
March-Light green Semptember-purple
April- Pink October -orange
May- Dark green November-brown
June-Blue/purpleish December-red
----------------------------------------------------------------------
How do i use my own backrounds?
A) My favorite method is using flashmod v3
http://dl.qj.net/Flashmod-v3-PSP-Homebrew-Applications/pg/12/fid/...Before you try install a backround you must know this: The program overites (and restores) a color background depending on what month you want to overite. It will know which month to overite becuase of the file name. For Example if you wanted to overite January you would name your file 01.bmp and for december it would 12.bmp. Another example: the 7th month of the year would be 07.bmp
Rules for Custom backgrounds:
1)must be a 24bit bitmap
2)must be 300x170 in size and no bigger than 150kb
----------------------------------------------------------------------
How to do it.
Put the bitmap picture on the root of the memory stick.
Example: X:/07.bmp
Load Flashmod and under one of the menus will be the feature install custom backgrounds. Make sure your battery is charged or have the AC adapter plugged in.Click the buttona and wait untill it is done flashing. Exit flashmod and enjoy your new backrounds. Obviously make sure you have your date set for the month you overwrote.
