PSP-like Background

If you create a grid of vertices and apply the texture to that grid. Then you can move the vertices to create a wave effect. It would also be possible to do this in a vertex or pixel shader, but that would be pretty complicated to explain in a forum post.

(I'm not 100% sure what the PSP-life effect actually is - maybe someone can explain better)

I think the easiest way to make that effect would be to get the waves into a tecture wideer than the screen and draw them on top of a static background while moving them left and right. You could do this all with sprites probably.

You could probably do the whole thing in a pixel shader but as I said thats pretty advanced stuff.
