Coldboot Installer

**The Central Scrutinizer** · 02-21-2011,03:22 PM

Cyberskunk has released a new app that will let you backup your original Coldboot.raf/AC3 and replace it with a custom one!

Coldboot Installer is a small app to easily install your custom coldboot .raf and .ac3 files from USB000 (Slot furthest right).

You need to create a folder on the root of your USB stick called coldboot. This where you place your custom coldboot files.

Coldboot Installer can also back up you current coldboot files. It backs them up in the appâ€™s USRDIR and to the root of USB000 if present with a .bak extention.

BACKUP/RESTORE COLDBOOT FILES
Press SELECT to BACKUP the CURRENT coldboot files
(This will overwrite your previous backup)
Press START to RESTORE coldboot files from BACKUP

INSTALL NEW COLDBOOT FILES
Press CROSS to INSTALL new coldboot.raf and AC3 files
Press SQUARE to INSTALL a new coldboot.raf
Press CIRCLE to INSTALL new coldboot AC3 files

Enjoy.. Cyberskunk

Iv been using this app but when i have installed logos and audio other people have done, it only plays the last 2 seconds of the audio file.
Whats the problem, it seems to work for everyone else

Coldboot.raf is the logo displayed when you power on your console.
.ac3 is a sound format, it's the sound heard when you power on your ps3.

@jason3731:
You need a way to run windows files on your Mac (like Parallels Desktop/Wine or whatever) to use Coldboot Creator from the previous link.
