RCO Icon Editor v1.05

ZiNgA BuRgA has released what he calls RCO Icon Editor v1.05. Firmware modders will find great interest in this Windows app…

Whether or not you knew this, many of the RCO files found on the PSP’s flash contain icons which can be customized. And knowing that, this tool aims to function as a generic RCO icon editor. Now anyone can easily customize XMB icons — menu icons, battery icon, etc…

The RCO must be decrypted first; this can be achieved by using a tool such as PSAR Dumper.

I cannot stress enough… Read “readme.txt” for important information.

Firstly, this has ONLY BEEN TESTED ON 3.03 OE-C and 3.10 OE. I believe it _should_ work on all 2.71 SE and 3.0x OE. For 3.10 OE, customized topmenu_plugin.rco files won’t work, but it seems that customizing other RCOs (eg opening_plugin.rco) still works.

Also note, ALWAYS keep a backup copy of the RCO, incase either you or the program stuffs something up.

i'm having trouble with this, everytime i try to edit my .rco it tells me i have to decrypte it first. This is wat i did i got a 3.03 update and used pbp unpacker to unpack the data.psar and then used psar dumper to dump it. Now shouldn't that be decyrpted? I have no idea wat should i do.

dski1326 you cant use the 3.03 update decryptd he says in his readme that you can only use 2.50 update that is decrypted and you can use the newest psar dumper to decrypt it

hey is the UMD icon and the MS and network update capable of being replace cuz i have succesfully change my UMD icon

All the xmb icons can be replaced, as well as the battery indicator, volume control, mp3 controls etc.

Heres a theme I'm currently working on :

which I'll probably release in the next few days, when its finished. For those of you struggling to get a decrypted rco file, just grab one thats already been modified by someone (theres a couple on my site) - you don't need a box fresh one to customise your icons, and iof someone has already modified it, it will give you a good idea of where to start with the changes.
