So, some of you might be wondering why those crazy screenshots pop up whenever you highlight a game on your XMB (that's Cross Media Bar for the uninitiated). You know, where the music plays or whatever? Seems like somebody had a little fun with their PS3, hacking into those backgrounds and giving them a little more... substance. But how did he do it? Linux? Some clever manipulation of the controls? A trick of the trade, no doubt. Check out the video, tell us what you think. Perhaps you could even take a humorous picture of yourself in a bathtub, playing with a large amount of rubber ducks and use that as the image that pops up. That would be funlarious.
[Good work, Adam!]
1. Well sorry for everyone, its currently being ironed out, ive been having some troubles...My PS3 has een rejecting the hack so im gonna hopefully have it up for everyone to have a custom background....Now i also do want to tell you i is NOT for regular "backgrounding" when you pop it in but for saved games, sorry if thats not what you were hoping for
