Custom Boot Tunes

Custom Boot Tunes
This page assumes that you have a basic understanding of how to read from and write to a memory stick.

ALWAYS BACK UP YOUR MEMORY STICK BEFORE ATTEMPTING HACKS, PATCHES OR CUSTOMIZATION.

Formatting
For the ERS-210, ERS-220, or ERS-31x, in order for a boot tune to be valid, it must meet the following requirements: (Note that regardless of the length of your file, once it completes, it will immediately loop until your AIBO is finished booting. Create a file that you know loops well for maximum fun!)
 * .WAV file
 * Mono
 * 8bit
 * 8000hz
 * Short enough to fit on the memory stick (usually between 1 and 45 seconds).

Once you have an audio file of the boot tune you want that meets these requirements, name it BOOT.WAV and place it in the following location on the memory stick:

OPEN-R/MW/DATA/P

Either remove the previously existing BOOT.WAV before placing the new one in the folder, or overwrite it (again, please be sure you've backed up your memory stick first).

If you were successful, when you try to boot your AIBO with the new BOOT.WAV, you should hear your customized boot tune. If your AIBO remains silent for the entirety of booting, the boot tune you have given it is invalid - double-check that the file you made meets the requirements above. If your AIBO plays an error tone, you may have put the file in the wrong place or otherwise modified the memory stick incorrectly.
