Right. Everyone has been begging me to a make them a Custom Coldboot, but i dont have the time to. So ive created a tutorial on how to make one.

This will allow you to experiment on Coldboots, open up shops or whatever.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Note:
This is not the easiest and quickest way to do it. The program i used came out ages ago and its worked for me ever since. There probably are better programs for this but they've had errors not compiling etc.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Try a different FTP Program. Also enable dev_blind

Gonna be fair and give a bit of advice. For the people who are new to photoshop but want to make a custom coldboot and the image isn't on alpha, delete the alpha channel,add all your stuff to RGB, then duplicate the channel to a new one and call it Alpha 1. Does the same thing as it would on the normal channel and makes it a lot easier to work with. Smile

What about animated coldboots, like PSX coldboot without the damn black background?
