Custom Home MOD is a modification to the plugin CustomHome, originally developed by Abcang. This mod version is written by suloku and majority of the changes are attributed to optimization.

Features

• Add many features to the home menu.
• PSPstates menu: Save, load and delete. Per game savestates and global savestates with screenshots.
• Able to change the CPU/BUS speed with L and R Triggers.
• Custom randomized backgrounds (you can have multiple images, one will load each time).
• On screen information, such as Game title and ID, date, battery percentage and remaining time (does not work in the PSPGo).
• All is customizable.

Installation

This plugin depends on prxcmlib_pack.zip (included).

To install, put cushome directory and lib directory in seplugins directory on your PSP Memory Stick.

Edit game.txt in the same seplugins directory, append the following line

ms0:/seplugins/cushome/cushome.prx

PSPGo users will need to install custom home to ef0:/seplugins/, then add this line to game.txt

ef0:/seplugins/cushome/cushome.prx

Reboot your PSP and enable plugin in recovery mode.

Notes from developer:

To use this plugin with PSPStates, please use pspstates_kai.prx (will not work with pspstates.prx).

Also if you are using other language file, you need to rename the file to lang.ini.

About PSPStates

If you change CustomHome configuration and load a pspstates savestate, customhome will have the configuration it had when the save state was made.

If you have different plugin configuration between savestates unexpected behavior can occur.

Those two above are the main reason pspstates for custom home are moved to a different folder than the normal pspstates.prx.

It is recommended not to try loading savestates made with other versions of pspstates.

Note from developer:

Custom home pauses the game when using features such as pspstates menu or Stopgame option is on. Even with the memory access check, it is advised to not use it while a video is playing or there's heavy Memory Stick/internal memory access as the PSP may hang.

In general, the common rules applied to pspstates apply here. If for some reason the game hangs when opening custom home with StopGame option ON, before a full power of try suspending the PSP and powering on again, since this may unfreeze the system.

The paths seplugins/cushome/, seplugins/lib/ and seplugins/SAVESTATE/ can't be changed for Custom Home to work.

Changelog

v1.3.7 2014/08/17 (by suloku)

• Reverted Memory Stick access check to the direct hardware register function for Memory Stick only (seems better). For PSPGo's internal memory the other method is used.
• Patches pspstates so the shortcuts (L+UP, R+DOWN) won't work. This had problems with the PSPGo when using the DualShock3 via bluetooth.

v1.3.6 2014/07/29 (by suloku)

• Changed Memory Stick access check to support PSP Go's internal storage. Thanks to Omega2058 at wololo.net forums.
• Fixed: sometimes it hanged when Stopgame option was on.
• Built in Abcang's PSP Go's battery fix (only offers a battery percentage estimate, life time can't be known).
• Added PSPGo's USB ID. Flush Memory Stick and internal storage (PSPGo) when desconnecting usb.
• Corrected some typos.
• Bundled Abcang's background templates.

v1.3.5 2014/07/23 (by suloku)

• Changed threadcontrol to check for Memory Stick access before pausing the game's thread. Before this custom home hanged when entering several menus (pspstates...) or when "Stop Game" opton was enabled. Thanks to hiroi01's pspstates menu pict source code.
• L and R in main menu now change CPU/BUS speed.
• Moved pspstates to ms|ef0:/seplugins/cushome/pspstates_cushome.prx
• Moved pspstates savegame folder to ms|ef0:/seplugins/cushome/SAVESTATE/. Custom Home will create this folder if it doesn't exist (in the previous version if the folder didn't exist pspstates would fail to save when apparently all went right).
• pspstates_kai_mod_umdid.prx by leecherman bundled for convenience. Exctracted from "pspstates menu pict mod v5 (update)".
• Latest version of prx-common-libraries also included for convenience.
