custom_render_plugin.rco remove delay
(original sum of delays is 10 seconds)
- original unpatched 4.50-4.75 MD5:
FB9C8E467A0A1E2C38397D6F266FC997 - original unpatched 4.30-4.46 MD5:
02251196DCEF6ABC756499A18B6A9BFC - original unpatched 4.00-4.26 MD5:
9764A4790A360C0769359DE8741A55AE - Samples of all tests listed below from 1 up to 13 (for firmwares 4.50-4.75) https://www.sendspace.com/file/zxp3va
- 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)
