wen i use the CTR to add an image and open it with the RCO editor it says the file is not a valid RCO file.
Wen i added the image (a BMP)through the RCO it only gives a white screen. if it is the colour depth wat software can i use to get a32bit?

ditto, ive tried a 24bit png a 8bit png a 24bit bmp and the best i can get is it being there but crappy quality and kinna blurred

i put the color depth down using irfanview with Floyd-Steinberg Dithering to get it as best at 8bit and halved its size from full 480x270.

oh yea and im a 5.00 M33-6 PSP Slim TA-085 v1 motherboard

do u have a list of gameboots?

f4ll3n · 06-29-2009, 09:25 AM

lol gameboots and coldboots are somewhat different things. altho there is a wa to use ur gameboot as a coldboot.

2ndly u shud google for gameboots....

btw guys i got some great webbies for convert ur images to bmp
resize ur pics- i suggest u get sth similar to 480(width) x272(height) PIXELS

resize pic here Resize Images Online at ResizePic
its a web that shows u original and after resize, before u select if u wanna download. if the picture doesnt show, it means the file cant be resized.
2ndly, the disadv its only for gif, jpeg(jpg) and sth else. u can resize and convert ^^

convert picture formats here Convert Images to Another Format

however the best solution is to use photoshop. cos u can edit the quality later on. esp when resizing images, make the quality worsen a bit. i advice u all nvr to use those 1****x8** and resize to fit psp screen, unless the picture is still nice, i think those pics are the worst.

Not a valid RCO!

DarkFoxSniper · 07-01-2009, 03:44 AM

@jonysmoke:So you can inject the image into the rco but when you try to open it with RCO editor it says invalid RCO?

okay anyway, ive got the sound alright, i have mario saying his "itsa me, mario!" for the boot sound. it'd be nice if the pic was clearer tho :S it totally sux. i dont get why the sony one can be clear and mines cant.

It's because the Original Coldboot(Sony Computer Entertainment) is just text..real easy to make text look good as a 24bit BMP.

Most Likely that error is due to you missing or haveing an outdated version of Microsoft NET Framework.
