*Incompatibility notes
**There are graphic glitches in all the tests marked as working when using them with the official coldboot.raf and a dynamic theme applyed in XMB
**The reason why this happens is because by reducing the boot time the xmb is displayed earlly, the result is the coldboot.raf is displyed over XMB. Dynamic themes uses a .raf for the background, this means there are 2 .raf animations running together and unexpected things can happen (like calculations of mathematical operations out of range, etc... that could cause glitches and a crash)
*Tests purposes
**Test 1 replaces the delay's and duration's by 0. After applying the patch the resulting file is the most closer to official code (minimal patched data, safer, more stable)
**The purpose of the other tests is to simplify the code to make it more efficient and minimal posible
**Test 2 up to 9 are all the combinations that initially was worthy to try to understand wich lines was criticall... after 6 it was broken (because the line where is specifyed the ShowGUI was not present)
**Test 10 uses the ShowGUI + Finished
**Test 11 uses only ShowGUI. It displays some kind of error in the position of the PS3 logo (belongs to the coldboot.raf animation)
**Test 12 and 13 was the last test to identify if what needs to be patched is the tag anim_coldboot.... or anim_coldboot2 (note in all the previous tests was patched both)
**Test 13 is based on test 10, but only patches coldboot2 (coldboot2 is used in new firmwares... the other patch to coldboot was not needed)
**The winners seems to be test 1 (for minimal changes) and test 13 (for minimal code)

custom_render_plugin.rco remove delay

(original sum of delays is 10 seconds)

  • Incompatibility notes
    • There are graphic glitches in all the tests marked as working when using them with the official coldboot.raf and a dynamic theme applyed in XMB
    • The reason why this happens is because by reducing the boot time the xmb is displayed earlly, the result is the coldboot.raf is displyed over XMB. Dynamic themes uses a .raf for the background, this means there are 2 .raf animations running together and unexpected things can happen (like calculations of mathematical operations out of range, etc... that could cause glitches and a crash)
  • Tests purposes
    • Test 1 replaces the delay's and duration's by 0. After applying the patch the resulting file is the most closer to official code (minimal patched data, safer, more stable)
    • The purpose of the other tests is to simplify the code to make it more efficient and minimal posible
    • Test 2 up to 9 are all the combinations that initially was worthy to try to understand wich lines was criticall... after 6 it was broken (because the line where is specifyed the ShowGUI was not present)
    • Test 10 uses the ShowGUI + Finished
    • Test 11 uses only ShowGUI. It displays some kind of error in the position of the PS3 logo (belongs to the coldboot.raf animation)
    • Test 12 and 13 was the last test to identify if what needs to be patched is the tag anim_coldboot.... or anim_coldboot2 (note in all the previous tests was patched both)
    • Test 13 is based on test 10, but only patches coldboot2 (coldboot2 is used in new firmwares... the other patch to coldboot was not needed)
    • The winners seems to be test 1 (for minimal changes) and test 13 (for minimal code)

Minimalistic patches

(there are several options, which works best/without issues can be proven IRL within seconds)

Patch 2 - Removing all SCE logo animations (patchtest 2)

(working) 

			<Animation name="anim_coldboot">
				<Lock unknownInt0="0xffffffff" />
				<FireEvent object="event:native:/anim_coldboot_BootBG1" />
				<Delay time="0" />
				<FireEvent object="event:native:/anim_coldboot_NormalBG" />

				<Unlock unknownInt0="0xffffffff" />
				<Delay time="0" />
				<FireEvent object="event:native:/anim_coldboot_Finished" />
			</Animation>
			<Animation name="anim_coldboot2">
				<Lock unknownInt0="0xffffffff" />
				<FireEvent object="event:native:/anim_coldboot_BootBG2" />
				<Delay time="0" />
				<FireEvent object="event:native:/anim_coldboot_NormalBG2" />
				<Delay time="0" />
				<FireEvent object="event:native:/anim_coldboot_ShowGUI" />
