xmbWave is basically a simplified [Only registered users can see links. ] editing tool that alters the wave on your background, and as easy as the app is to learn, it's a tough one to become an artist. As you can see from the above picture from one of Darkstone's creations, finding a balance between going nuts in changing the values and knowing when to stop will serve users well in creating their own unique waves. It's probably the closest thing to a visual "fingerprint" you'll have on your PSP, seeing as two original creations will rarely be alike after editing.

Combined [Only registered users can see links. ] makers and [Only registered users can see links. ], as well as [Only registered users can see links. ], this will really spruce up your PSP into something uniquely you.

Before anything else though, Vulpix wants to remind folks to check the readme and to not alter the values too much, as you could make the wave effect disappear entirely. Make sure you have a copy of the original starting values, just in case you do something very weird.

I heard this mentioned a few places the last few days, so had to go on a hunt to find it. I think I may have to use this too

Also, have a second story relating to this [Only registered users can see links. ]
And also a third [Only registered users can see links. ]

However, if you're a newcomer to the PSP developer scene and are hoping for a step-by-step tutorial on how to get this app cracking (the readme was admittedly scant on details), come on over.

Homebrew dev sepreath has just posted a guide which should serve as a primer for first-time brew meisters. The guide includes a list of things you will need, and some important values to keep track of so you won't end up breaking the waves. For starters, here's what you need:
  • XMBWave editor (Downloadable below)
  • Common sense
  • Hopefully some hex skills
  • A hex editor (Hex Workshop comes to mind)
As for the first few steps, and the the wave values:

[1.1]
So first off copy your original system_plugin_bg.rco from you PSP and back it up to your
computer. It is found in Flash0:/vsh/resource. Also backup the system_plugin_bg_deflate.bin
that cam with the XMBWave package. It'll save you some headaches later on!

[1.2]
The offsets that I know of, in decimal, are:
528 => 946 controls the shape of the wave, very easily ruined! Or made crazy.
7653 => 7766 appears to control the color and contrast of the waves.
7767 => 7841 => controls the colour of the waves.


We're hoping this guide provides you with a basic understanding of how xmbWave works. Make sure to check out the full walkthrough sepreath set up (Read link). Who knows, the tutorial might inspire the readers to cook up some interesting offshoots of xmbWave. We thank the man for the effort - a lot of noobs here are grateful.

Thought this might come in handy - fascinating stuff I think
