Hey mikebeaver, I like some of them, but some of the PIC1 files are smooshed. Your FF ones and the Chrono Cross ones are great.

Much better than what I could do (you can tell that if you look at my sigpic).

i need a mgs background and icon

Ill see what I can do for ya, I didnt think of that one, lol.

make one for digimon world 1 :D

I have a request if its not too much trouble =P

My favorite game for PSX is Castlevania Symphony of the Night so, if someone can make me an icon for that game I would appreciate it alot =]

Have done Castlevania SOTN, will look into digimon world a little later, the updated pack is availiable above.

Thx a lot Mikebeaver ^_^

:::Edit:::::::::::Edit:::::::::::::Edit:::::::::;

It says the addition of sizes is too high -_-

Please reduce sizes D:

Is there a way to remove or edit the game description that pops up in every game (The Hot Shots 2 one)?

I didn't like mikebeaver's icon too much (Loved the PIC1 though), so I made an alternative. Here it is for anyone that wants it. *UPDATED & ADDED A CLEANER FFIX*

Moved to thread: PSP: Popstation Background Pack
http://www.dcemu.co.uk/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=47030

To disable the annoying PIC0.PNG (HotShots)image.
Create a new *blank* text file and then rename it "PIC0.PNG"
Rename "new.txt" to "pic0.png" to make your own.
Then include it with your other custom icons.

Or use the PIC0.PNG file that I created that is included in the zip file below: Here

Army Men
Asteroids
Abe's Odysee
Breakout
Jetmoto 3
Tomb Raider 2
Metal Gear Missions

Just some simple ones

is there a ff7 one anyone can make me i didnt check the original post......sorry

Hey guys, how do you guys obtain the background pics? Is there a program you use to rip them? Sorry to bother ya! Thanks!

I used Google images and Photoshop.

I'm having trouble creating my own. I made some for Final Fantasy tactics. When i include them though, the program won't run. They are .PNG files, and they are named correctly. Any help here?

what are the files types needed for each pictures and dimensions of each and what do they change. Im guessing ICON.png whatever is the smaller icone to the left but what do the other 2 change. I'm interested in making my own. thank you.

Icon0 = 144 x 80
Pic1 = 480 x 272
pic0 aka unknown.png = 310 x 180

Dootiez use pspbrew.

Toxent make sure they are the right sizes as shown above.

They are the right sizes. I've checked 3 times.

take a look.

If i'm doing something wrong can one of you guys fix it?

ok n/m i got em 2 work. I got em working thanx!

Yo JD, thanks!

man this is amazing dude. thanks a lot. you think you could do some more rpgs? maybe suikodenII or breath of fire 4? thatd be great man

will do some more tonight and fix castlevania for ya pkmaximum.just gotta go to work :(

Can sum1 plz make a legend of dragoon icon set? I love that game so much!

Hi mikebeaver,

Could you make me a background and icon for three of my games please? They are:-

Driver 2
Wu-Tang : Shaolin Style

Thanks in advance

I wasnt that satisfied with the Symphony of the night logo that came in the pack so I made this one, but the background one is pretty much perfect :D

Can't wait to see what other icons people come up with, its a good chance for homebrew users who cant program to get creative :D

no gran tourismo? I thought that'd be about the first to get done :)

Someone please do a Tactics Ogre and Spiderman 2 one. I am going to try to do these myself anyway once I have found decent pictures and know the correct measurements. I will also fix it so each game saves to a different folder instead of just the Hotshots one. When I am done I will have seperate games with custom icons and seperate folders on my 4GB. :thumbup:

mikebeaver, you kicketh t3h @$$!!! :D I hate the Hot Shots 2 logo. >_>

Does anyone know what size the PIC1.PNG should be? I tried using the icon pack and every time I'm about to make the eboot, it keeps saying that the image size is too large.

Yea me 2, it says image too large :(

I have figured it out!! It has some restriction of image file size ! Don't know how much in Kb it has to be, but icon no more than 16kB I think!

yeah, sorry guys, ive had a few probs with some of the ames pics, will be sorting them out very soon (tonight) i thnk they have to be under 300ish Kb for the PIC1.PNG, i havent had any trouble with the ICON0.PNG (yet).
As i said, its work in progress, ill try getting all the ones people have requested done tonight and upload them later, will include the ones by broonale and micronut if they dont mind.

I have the Chrono Cross ICON0.ONG at just over 30kb's and it works well, it seems it just a case of me trying them out to see if they work well or not.

see what I can do, im just checking all the sizes and making sure they work, if you have the pics for treasures, post them and i can use those.

To get the size down, use photoshop and set the mode to 8 bits/channel instead of 16.

Someone please do a Tactics Ogre icon set :)

Hey, folks I think its total file size that matters.
I have narrowed it down to 290-300 kb total.

I have tried some of the other icons being shared in
the forums and any of them that are more than 300kb will not compile.

You can use a 0kb PIC0.png file to give more space to the icon and background images
Just drop it into the folder with the other icons you have created.

Make the PIC0.png out a blank txt file and it will not be displayed.

and micronut if they dont mind

I dont mind... but I will probably try and make them look a little better over time...

Oh, and it looks like mikebeaver also narrowed down the icon file size problem earlier too :P

legend of dragoon icon and backround-

ICON0.png

PIC1.png
http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j2...aruto/PIC1.png

Il do another legend of dragoon one soon....

I manage to make the BOF4 Icon0 to 14kb, Pic1 to 297kb, but I can't get the Pic0 down to 4kb. Does anybody have any advice? Many thanks

Nice Gunntims0103 ill update the zip file as your ICON0 looks better than the one I found, recognise that PIC1 though :).
Looks like this could be a useful thread over time, especially if everyone helps towards it.

Just use the PIC0.PNG from one of the ones in the download, there all the same for every game.
