The other day vb_master, one of the devs or the tgawave editor program stopped by our forum to drop off a little present. He gave us a early release of TGAwave editor .7. Well my good friend Sphinx625 decided to create a pack of XMB waves using this handy little app. Sphinx has been working on it for around 2 days now and wanted to get others opinion. He says that anyone can find one they like. And that you can hex edit his premade ones to customize your XMB even more. So here are some of his new creations.

NEW VERSION!!!

Sphinx also wanted to say:
Check it out there are some really neat waves in there. I recommend the one called: awesome_effect.rco.

This is an awesome little package. It works with 1.5 and 3.0X OE-X and looks awesome. It allows u to have a background that corresponds to every month and a new bootsound. they are of course based on the ps3 and its backgrounds and boot sound. The background will chnage every month for all supported firmwares. Just place teh xflash folder onto ur psp, the ones included are not the whole thing. jmust the modiied folder get the newest one here

Not only that but it (willl be able to) stream your videos and music from your PS3! w00T! NOT only that but
also includes free music from OI's admin/webmaster/CEO/founder(tee-hee, I have a long title) own music album,
Shadows in Doubt. Also it includes (I know this is a long list) Kai's own full fledged book, The Flame of
