Fan transforms his PSP into a Mario-loving paradise

What's the first thing a zealous Nintendo fan does when he gets a PSP? Why, turn it into a Mario-worshipping shrine, of course! Mr. Shizzy has created an XMB modification for users of 3.03 OE-C firmware. Everything about the PSP interface has been changed, from icons, to sounds, to the waves in the background. It may be a bit gaudy for my tastes, but it's impressive nonetheless. To download this homebrew-only conversion, head over to DCEmu. Warning: because crucial files are overwritten in the process, you have a chance of bricking your PSP. Use at your own risk!

I think I like to keep my brand identity. I wouldn't want to put Mario stuff on a PSP. I could also do without the wave in the background. It screws up an otherwise clean look.

Is it at all possible to install any kind of custom stuff for the XMB? I know you can change the background, but changes noises and icons seems cool.

Mario on a Sony console? Isn't that one of the Seven Signs of the Apocalypse, next to Master Chief on a PS3?
