I already hacked it... just thought I would share the Information... I hacked my way through vshmain.prx (3.10 decrypted) using prxtool... (hell... besides psplink that's my fav developer tool now!)

Anyway... this is a temporary Filesize Increase Fix of mine... It is limited to about 300kb 01-12.bmp filesize - rather than the previous 70kb...

Im also trying to work out a 1.5~2.0 mb filesize hack... but give me a bit more time for that...

Anyway...

1. Decrypt your 3.10 Firmware using PSARDumper (Press the [] Button... for full Decrypting...)

2. Fetch a Copy of the Decrypted vshmain.prx... Also... it might be a good Idea to backup your Original vshmain.prx from OE Firmware flash0 aswell...

3. Open the Decrypted vshmain.prx in a Hexeditor and search for 0x20180224 and replace it with 0x00800224 - then search for 0x20180824 and replace it with 0x00800824

4. Flash the Modified vshmain.prx File... :-)

Optional #5. If you plan on using bigger Images thanks to this Hack... you should think about also searching for flash0:/vsh/resources/01-12.bmp string... and change it to flash1 or something... that way you save space on flash0 as you can remove 70kb (old bmp file) - and you can place your bigger images on flash1 (3mb freespace)...

----------

by the way - don't wonder if the original 01-12.bmp doesn't work properly anymore after applying that patch... I hacked the Executeable to use a Filesize (per image) of 32768 bytes...

So - if you plan to use many small images, rather than one big... pad each Image with 00 till you get to the filesize of 32768 before you fuse them together with copy /b

also 6 high-res backgrounds is really just the ideal case... 6176bytes per image is way to small.

anyway here is a 01-12.bmp with 12 480x272 backgrounds (used random ones)
you have to use coldbirds hack http://forums.qj.net/showpost.php?p=1373...stcount=10
however 32768byte filesize per image doesn't seem to work on 3.40OE but 32767byte does.
use 0xFF7F instead of default 0x2018

32767bytes is just about enough to use jpg with acceptable quality loss.

note: its using 11 fullres backgrounds with jpg compression. 12 is a uncompressed bmp file.
