first off get a decrypted 2.71 dump
get a hex editor

with your hex editor look in vsh/module/opening_plugin (of the decrypted dump)
do ctrl+f and find gameboot.pmf

flash0:/vsh/resource/gamboot.pmf

i changed to

ms0:/PSP/SYSTEM/gameboot.pmf

start from the F in flash0:/ and rewrite the whole line

use filer to flash modded opening_plugin to flash0:/vsh/nodle

this is a great mod for those of you who have jamesbdx's patch and want a custom gameboot.

if you dont have a memory stick in and load a umd, it will just show a gameboot similar to the 0kb gameboot. and game will still work!

cheers to Dark_Alex, noobz, Booster, and team FWI :D

Excellent news kando it's good to know there won't be any flashing.

Wow, why hasn't anyone thought of that before? It seems so obvious. Well, great find :D

Nice work

Is there any sort of delay?

For me at least, it worked perfectly. No noticeable delay to speak of.

Bit of advice though, be careful. I have apparently bricked my PSP while attempting the guide explaining how to do this for wallpapers.

Gameboots from the MS were fine for the 5 or so minutes it lasted :/
