Hello guys,
I'm here again asking a particular question...
Could I install a custom coldboot and gameboot on my slim PS3? I'd like to create my personal static or dynamic coldboot and gameboot, with the sound effect of course. I'm running FERROX 4.84 right now and I listened that rebug toolbox is required for this operation, but I noticed that the toolbox is not properly compatible with firmware.
Some help would be appreciated.

RebugToobox not is required for to install coldboot and gameboot, you need only multiman and put the files in correct folder.

REBUG Toolbox is not needed for this. Coldboot's are part of every FW ether OFW or CFW. All you need to do is create your coldboot.raf and your custom sounds. These need to be in ac3 sound format> xvidforpsp or audacity can do this for the sounds. For static coldboots search "east Static raf converter and it will convert almost any image in a static one, animated ones are a little bit more complicated as they use dds format images converted to gfx.

for gameboots it is needed to edit the custom_render.rco. and the imgae must have the right gim setting or the image will just white box. @RandomDude gim setting finder will help with that to use with RCO mage to de compile the rco add your custom image, find the right setting then complie the rco again.

What @Coldheart2236 has forgot to mention is that for the gameboot to work you need a properly patched sprx file to make it work or it will not show no matter what you do as it has been disabled in the FW by S@ny ages ago. If you want to use mine then do so, i am sure it will work on 4.84 CFW as there has not been much changes you can find mine here:

http://www.psx-place.com/resources/original-ps3-gameboot-sounds-4-80-4-83-cfw-only.752/

follow the install instructions, then after reboot launch any thing and it should show then you can edit the custom_render.rco with you own custom gameboot.

Use the link in my post above, this has been out a while now. and it should work on 4.84 CFW. If not tell me and I will update it. But from what I have seen in comparing the sprx's in should not need updating.

See Pinky's PS3 Tutorials thread - scroll down the page for tutorials on how to create your own coldboots as well as gameboots, among other useful tutorials. :) Hope this helps.

Wow that's a lot of things for a beginner like me! xD
No video tutorials anywhere? On YouTube there's too many messing around..
However, I'll give a better attention on the Pinky's tutorials

As the latest FW update was more or less just emulator updates and stuff it should still work. . It will launch the gameboot for anything other than bluray films and dvd's. PS3 JB format, PS3ISO, PS2iso, pspiso, psx bin/cue PSN games, apps the lot.

If it doesn't work or there are any kind of glitches you notice like it not running correctly then let me know so i can check it out.
 
I also forgot to ask you if is possible to add a song theme during the XMB navigation, just like PS4's menu.. That would be very cool!

I have not looked into doing this yet, there might be a way and then again it might not be possible. Most xmb sounds are in the syconfig.rco so the size of the file would be limited as that is in dev_flash.

Just CFW re-install.

It shouldn't soft brick it, just crash the ps3 on boot of apps and games, of you have webMAN you can ftp the original game_ext_plugin.sprx back into place if you make a back up of the one you have now .

it's in dev_flash/vsh/resource/module/game_ext_plugin.sprx

This would stop the need to do a FW re-install if it crashes the PS3 for whatever reason.

99% of the time you watch a youtube video on this stuff, it's got at least one piece of false information in it and most of the time has outdated or outright garbage information.
Case in point:
(THIS IS OBVIOUSLY FAKE)

The best way is to read it, understand it, and apply it. No matter how long it takes to understand it, I promise it took longer to research it, document it, and create a tutorial for another person to have an easier time...

Thank you,

I already had a report from a friend saying that it worked on 4.84 CFW but this person don't know his ass form his elbow when it comes to this stuff as a have to frequently go to his to sort his PS3 out because his always soft bricking it with mods that don't work any more despite my repeated warning's and attempts to educate him.

I will update the thread resource and the readme's within the mod.

Again Thank you.
