• Two modes of operation: "Everytime" and "Once per day" (see readme for details)
• You can set special, predefined images for a specific date (again, check readme)
• Change the XMB background BEHIND the waves (a.k.a. 01-12.bmp) - WITHOUT writing to flash!
• Randomizing/Changing of PTF themes

As Hellcat mentioned, better check the readme file included in the download below to get more information and before installing the application. Have fun!

Homebrew developer Hellcat dropped by QJ.NET PSP Development Forum and released an updated version of the application Wallpaper Changer / Randomizer for the Sony PlayStation Portable.

Just like the name of the program implies, this gives users the ability to easily change the wallpapers in their Sony handheld's XMB. The release bumps the program up to version 1.10 and here are the changes specific to this build:

• Added capability of changing/randomizing the background BEHIND the XMB wave lines (WITHOUT touching the flash0:! So, perfectly save ) Read the notes about this in the readme when having trouble with it!
• Wallpapers are now finally copied BEFORE the XMB loads, so you see the change imediately, not at the next reboot
• Major internal changes (making the plugin pure kernel mode and dealing with the consequences), the usual bug hunting and some cleaning up of the code.

Just like the coder Hellcat said, it would be good if you browse the documentation first to avoid any problems. It should provide you with added notes, and instructions during installation and usage.

Thanks to the PSP homebrew dev scene, PSP owners were given more control over their handheld's interface in the form theme packs. There are several options to choose from, like ThemePlus! by homebrew developer NephilimNX or ThemePSP by SodR. There's a new one out: Hellcat's no-frills Wallpaper Changer/Randomizer.

So what does this nifty application do? Simply put, it merely changes your PSP's XMB wallpaper. Aside from that, Hellcat added a couple of features to make this application a bit more personalized:

• Two modes of operation: "Everytime" and "Once per day" (see readme for details)
• You can set special, predefined images for a specific date (again, check readme)

Its certainly a nice, no-frills option for those who merely want want to change their wallpapers, nothing more and nothing less. Enjoy the download!
