[Wing, P4350 ROM development] Tribulattifather:
- PART TWO _ More Prep -

Okay. First thing is navigate to your Working_Folder, which should be on your desktop continuing from the last post. Open the ErviusKitchen.exe

Let it load, then click on the drop down menu in the picture and land it on Herald. It will go crazy for a second, but, that is normal.

Next, click on the dropdown menu for the XIP and SYS and land them on the build you're using. I am using, the included, 28223 build.

Next, you're going to add your ROM version number. In the picture is how I normally label mine.

Should look like this:

Using LZX Compression is useful when you notice your ROM is too big. The Max size a ROM can be is about 80MB or so. If you plan on not flashing by SDCard then the minimum size of the ROM should be 50.1MB. When you are ready to cook, you'll see the size in bytes. So, in bytes, 50.1MB is 52,567,531

Next, click on Show Editor.

This will bring up all the .rgu files that are located in the kitchen. Scroll down to where you see the .rgu file located in the Shell.

Double click on it and it will open up the editor. Locate line 419. This is where you can 'brand' your ROM. All my ROMs I create usually have the branding '- Trib.' Put anything you want after the '- ' (and you also have to leave space right after the '- '). Then make sure to save. Then close out of the editor. Then go back to the main kitchen window.

Next, click on Extra Buttons.

This will bring up a menu with large buttons. Click on the CABtoEXT button.

That will bring up a command prompt window as shown:

Minimize all the other windows. Then hit the Enter key. This will open up a large window.

Then navigate to any of the cab files that you might want that are not listed in the kitchen. Select and Right-Click on the cab files that you want then click on Copy.

Then Right-Click and Paste the cab files into the window that popped up.

When all the cab files have been placed go back to the other command prompt window and then press Enter where you see Press any key to continue . . .(and make sure to only put up to four at a time.. for some reason it doesn't work right).

A prompt will follow asking if it will be used for 96dpi devices. Make sure you select the respective digit for 96dpi then hit enter. Another message will prompt you to select what devices can use the programs. Make sure to select All devices.

Your cabs you import into the kitchen will be located in the 0096 Category in the list

Now head back to the kitchen's main window. Next we are going to Save the ROM so far. Make sure you save with a version number (sometimes if I save before I put a version number I'll forget to put one all together. Basically a ROM won't flash without one.

Now Close out of the kitchen all together then re-open it. Reason being is because the cab files you've just installed won't show up until you do. Then Load your previously saved ROM.

Now it's time to make your selections of what is going to go into your ROM. Double click on each file/module to toggle the enabling/disabling of packages.

These are my selections:

Once you've made your selections make sure to save once more.
