RESTORE CLASSIC GAMEBOOT LOGO AND SOUND FOR FIRMWARE CFW 4.76

You must login or register to view this content.
NOTE: I do not take any responsibility if you brick your PS3 in this process!

Instructions:

1. Copy game_ext_plug.sprx to dev_flash/vsh/modules/
2. Copy gameboot_multi.ac3, gameboot_stereo.ac3, and custom_render_plugin.rco to dev_flash/vsh/resource

For your convenience, I have already placed the files in the necessary directories in the dev_flash folder, or if you want to do it manually, the needed files are in the root folder.

If you need to patch for other firmwares, extract game_ext_plugin.sprx in dev_flash/vsh/modules, then run SCETOOL:

scetool.exe -d game_ext_plugin.sprx game_ext_plugin.prx

Open decrypted game_ext_plugin.prx and search for following hex data:

Older firmwares:

    38 80 00 00 7B E3 00 20 and change to 38 80 00 00 38 60 00 02


Newer firmwares:

    2F 89 00 00 7B C3 00 20 and change to 2F 89 00 00 38 60 00 02


Re-encrypt sprx with following command:

    scetool -v --compress-data=TRUE --sce-type=SELF --self-type=APP --template=game_ext_plugin_bak.sprx --encrypt game_ext_plugin.prx game_ext_plugin.sprx *note, make backup of original sprx to use for --template flag
