As for getting your own SYS/XIP.... I'd stick to playing with packages, rgus, provxmls, and other easier things until you have a better understanding, then look for SYS porting guides... if you get to that point, you've p***** most of the poeple here. If you really want, you can then try XIP porting, but that requires a lot more computer knowledge.

I meant which sticky'd tutorial was he talkin about here..sorry

Thanks for all the information..i think I was getting a little over my head with the SYS and XIP stuff, although I do have a lot of computer knowledge and I do hope to get to that level someday. So for now i'll start with the basic stuff.. Thanks again!

Hey, it's an apache kitchen...ya gotta modernize...

The limitation is in the imgfstools. There is a recompiled version in the raphael kitchen that works. I just copied the binaries into calcu's kitchen.

Newly discovered? I fixed it about 6 months ago. Pay attention!

lol - If you only replace one utensil, it's not called modernizing.

It hasn't been mentioned, so I'll mention it: Use PPCkitchen. Why reinvent the wheel? There is little point in 40 people dumping the same roms - it's very mechanical.

And, of course, do yourself a favor - don't start off using the antiquated tools in bepe v1 and v2 kitchens.
