Sorry amn I will nto be making a tutorial any time soon as i don't have the time to do it..all i can say is just experiment(Like I did) with RCO Editor.

Yeah, the coldboot is kind of a pain. I made one for mine, but I couldn't run my popsloader with it installed. I utimatly just took it out.

EDIT:Fox, did they change this with 4.01M33?

is there any tuts to learn the basics of rco editor?
i think i can manage it myself but where can i get a rco editor that edits 4.01 m33-2 rco's?

Coldboots have not effected anything for me since the days of 3.03 OE-C..

Google RCO editor..the RCO's need to be decrypted with either PSAR dumper or with Z33's ressulinkski

yep got it.
what does this mean : the colour depth must be 2 4 or 32 bit?

You generally have to use a design program such as Gimp to make the coldboot. If I remember, the dimensions are around 65x180 (doubt that's exact, but around that area) then you make your coldboot per instructions and you have to make the color depth 2-32 bit or it won't work properly.

i tried using GIMP but how do i save it as a 2, 8 or 32 bit file?

DarkFoxSniper · 08-18-2008, 07:52 PM

Save it as a PNG and put the text on a transparency..for your white box problem..your image was too big..

Omg yesssss ty DFS!!!!now onto the sound? how do i do the sounds?

DarkFoxSniper · 08-19-2008, 03:29 AM

For sounds look for a guide on google relating to making SND0.AT3 files to get it into the ATRAC3 WAV format that is needed.The look on for coldboot sound replacer for 4.01 M33..its the latest one and supports lower firmwares also.

for version 3.71 - 4.01 use BSR v4, for 3.51/3.52 use CSR v4. You'll also need a sound editor like Audacity and Goldwave (along with the the ATRAC3 codec) to make your .wav file compatible. Took me a few days to find all this info, finally got my coldboot working!
