RE: Coldboot Request Thread by ben3gfc
Yay I finally have some free time tomorrow so I will try to get touran22's and Games like a Grrl's done.  I may also take a shot at cleaning up the first post a bit now that I'm a mod.

@ touran22: I can change the coldboot sound if you upload it, though the sound has to be under 4 seconds long.  I'll still do your coldboot tomorrow and post it here, then if you find a sound you want upload it and I'll add it in.

@ Games like a Grrl: I'm guessing you want the exact same fonts and style as that coldboot?  As for that coldboot image you posted, it's the one i made for myself and everything is on the RGB channels, so it's only 8bit, no alpha channel.  I only use the alpha channel for transparency control, and until recently I never used it in any coldboot because it would always have too many colours.  I have my own (tedious) way now of lowering the amount of colours in the alpha channel though, it's nowhere near exact but it can make a huge difference on some images.  About a tutorial, I don't really know of any off hand, I figured stuff out mostly by searching or by myself.  If you find a tutorial for making icons or any other XMB images though then it is the same thing.

I'm not disappointed in you, I'm disappointed in myself, for believing in you.

@ ben3gfc: I'll take you up on the offer! I would like the one that says "Welcome Aman" (purple/teal) however, if you could make it say, "ibawanzingee" in a Japanese font (topline) and "Hacked by ibawanzingee" beneath that, that would be tight. Also, do you think you could make this with the v1.00 bogus FW coldboot? The one that goes "AAAAAAAA" in the woman's voice? For the background lines, if you could just make them purple or pink, that would be great! THANK YOU!

EDIT: I just saw this one -

and I really like everything about that one. If you could do this one instead (or both would be fine!) on the 2nd one, if you could have it say
"Welcome (in the same text it is now) ibawanzingee (in the blue fancy text)", that would be the pwn!!!

As far as the fonts and style, yeah, pretty close to it, if possible.  I've played around with photoshop, trying to deconstruct a couple of opening plugins to see how they're put together, but never see anything that makes much sense to me, but then again, I'm new to photoshop.  Meh, I'll be playing around with it more, I'm the kinda gal that likes doing mah own hacking whenever possible.  I'm gonna hit the photoshop boards, bug a few folks until they cave in and give me some tips.  Also, I can find Burt Munroy's (I think that's how it's spelled) photoshop books, the guy does some amazing stuff, I used to see him on Screen Savers before G4 took over, and he's on a couple of podcasts I listen to with Pixelcorp.  Thanks.

It's really good to see wee have females here! You're a dying breed, Games like a Grrl. I take it you're down with the "Riot Grrrl" scene? (7 year bitch, Bikini Kill, etc)

This post is pretty big so I used xlink, just click a bar to expand it.

touran22's Coldboot
I made two for you, since you said you were using a Windows theme I made one that looks like the Windows XP logo.  I didn't like the first one as much as I thought I might, so I decided to just pick one of the many fonts I have and put one together that I thought looked sorta cool.  If you want any changes to them, or you want something completely different just let me know.

Version 1:

Version 2:

For your information: I had to debrand the gameboot otherwise it would have ended up as a white rectangle.
Games like a Grrl's Coldboot
I forgot to ask what firmware you were using, so I uploaded two files, one for 3.40 OE-A and one for 3.51 (or 3.52) M33.  I could only test the 3.40 OE-A one, so if you use the 3.51 one let me know of any problems.  And if you want any changes, or something different just let me know.

3.51 M33: http://www.sendspace.com/file/txb2f2

Also if you want I can send you the PSD's and final BMP's I used for any of the coldboots I've done.  It might help a bit more than looking at the extracted BMP from RCOEdit.
ibawanzingee's Coldboot
I made the second one you asked for.  The "Welcome Aman" one was done by matchung, so I don't know what font was used, or exactly how to get it too look like that.  Plus I wasn't sure what you meant by Japanese font, and I couldn't find the bootsound you mentioned.  The second one didn't take me long since I did the original one, so I already knew the exact fonts and layer styles.  

You didn't mention which firmware you were using so I made two, one for 3.40 OE-A and one for 3.51 (or 3.52) M33.  I could only test the 3.40 OE-A one, so if you use the 3.51 one let me know of any problems.  If you want any changes, or something different just let me know.

(The "Welcome" is more visible than that on the PSP, I'm not sure why the screenshot turned out that way.)

Yeah the link is dead, you'll have to ask matchung if he still has the file.

@ Peacefully Disturbed: YOU KICK A$$!!! That one looks great! This is the first custom coldboot screen I've ever had. I always used to skip the $CE intro, but since I added the custom home screens, I am forced to go thru the $CE intro anyway. I figured I might as well have something nice to look at... I found the custom sounds I was talking about, so I injected those with RCOedit.

Thanks again, dude. :D
