well i hate bursting bubbles and ruin spot lights but there is already like 100+ threads on the same concept of this thread... teaching, helping, and guiding how edit the basic parts of the ps3 file system from boot logo to fonts.... in my honest opinion, this thread is pointless. I can simply look at past popular threads on the same topic with the same basis of what you just typed.... i know im being harsh and you may think im the biggest douche bag in the world but im only speaking with my honest opinion. May i add that you did state you English is bad? Users here deserve the best quality and if one user can not provide a well thought guide with good English... whats the point? bad = English (or any language perhaps) can lead to users complaining on a faulty error due to your bad English.. am i right?
