gliitch Wrote:Are you bored with the standard PS3 bootup sound? Or would like the old one back [pre-3.00fw] Well now you can thanks to Alejandro+ Jaicrab and PS3mrenigma. They have produced an app that allows writing to dev_flash. Also thanks to Japsander for the idea of the Epic Tune Of Success, and Comgenie for the manager XD

And on with the tutorial.

You'll need to install

Dev_flash RW Alejandro - http://www.ps3news.com/forums/ps3-hacks-...15979.html

Comgenie's File Manager - http://www.comgenie.com/filemanager/

XVid4PSP (on the pc obvs) - http://www.winnydows.com/

[PART ONE]

To get the R/W dev_flash to work, you'll need a hex enabled with Peek&Poke. Then fire up the app. You'll get an message saying "This program enables A Dev_Flash unit with WRITE ACCESS! It is your responsiblity! If you erase the firmware or make it brick its YOUR FAULT!" etc. Press O to enable the rewritable flash. it will go "....... Success" then it will quit, taking you back to the XMB.

[PART TWO]

Fire up Comgenie's Awesome File Manager Scroll down to "dev_alejandro/vsh/resource/

until you see two files one named: coldboot_multi.ac3 and another called coldboot_stereo.ac3. These two files are what you will need to change, in order to get a custom bootup sound. Don't Do anything yet...

[PART THREE]

Grab any mp3 you want, be it from a game or whatever it doesn't matter. Load up XivD4PSP.

You will need to trim it to around 8 seconds as it will get cut off. [like in the video] You'll see Set Start/Set End and apply trim.

Audio encoding AC3 640K

Once that is done, and you are happy with your bootup sound, rename it coldboot_multi.ac3 and then the same file as coldboot_stereo.ac3. Save it, by doing Ctrl+S.

Now, copy the files to a USB stick, you should still be in Comgenie's Manager.

Select 0000 (far right usb) and press select for the screen to go red. Then press O to copy the two files over, and replace them. Exit to the XMB.

Power off your PS3, with or without your JB, and listen to your new Boot Sound.

It seems like the first second or so gets cut off so your sound should prolly start at 1 second in and have 1 second of silence.... Havn't played with it much but from my initial observation, this seems to be the case with mine at least.
