Ok guys this is the safest and easiest way to flash themes onto your psp with firmware 3.52M33-4



Installation

1. Download the CXMB package here--> http://www.badongo.com/file/4650483

if this doesnt work for you try here--> http://www.sendspace.com/file/8xm7rj

2. Unzip the folder to your Desktop for easy access.

3. Next go into CXMB and copy the themes, seplugins, PSP and cxmb folders to the root of your memory stick

4. Now to add themes all you do is place your theme into the Themes folder but it must look like this with the exact names of the folders. (if it asks you to overwrite click yes to all)


First Put your theme in a folder and name it wat u want

Then make these folders and put the nessessary files you have into each folder dont worry if you dont fill each folder

If you don't want to go through the trouble of this i have some 3.52M33-4 themes in the Full XMB Themes here


5. Now turn off your PSP and go to your Recovery Menu. (Push power button up until screen turns off then Turn on your PSP holding the R trigger

6. Go to Plugins and enable cxmb.prx.This is a must do otherwise when you apply yout theme later on you will not see the theme. Now go back then exit the Recovery Menu.

7. Now go to your PSP then into your game menu and load the Theme Selector.

8. Once loaded u will see your themes but in a random order. Start is to apply the theme Select is to exit and D-Pad Up and D-Pad Down is to select a theme.

9. So choose your theme then when your happy click start and it will auto exit to the XMB for you do not turn off your psp during this process or u will have a semi brick

10. Thats all there is too it!

any problems just ask!

hi, i followed your tutorial to the letter, and everything seems to work (i get a windows themes by default. strange) exempt form the theme selector. when i load it up i get the message

ERROR: INDEX.LUS : 27 : attempt to index field '?' ( a nill value)'
ERROR: no script file found.
press start to restart'

but when i press start the same thing happens.

have you heard of this happen before and is there any way to fix it.

ive already tried deleting it and re installing the pack, but i get the same results.

any help would be greatly appreciated

ok ur problem may be with the cxmb folder did u go inside and check for the font vsh>resource and module folders?? if their not their add them like that (resource and module are inside of vsh) also are u using your own theme or the themes that i provided in the Full custom theme section if u followed that and it still doesnt work tell me :wink:

noob problem

alright try deleting all those files inside those folders that may be the case and then try one of my themes and see if it works cuz all the themes i posted are compatible with cxmb

I deleted those files. the windows xp theme disappeared, i got on of your themes and put it in the g:theme/ folder. I restarted the psp and started the theme aplication it still comes up with the same error message.

Ive half figured it out, when you told me to delete those files and the windows theme disapeared, i figured if thats where the windows theme files where then if i replace them with a different theme i can manually force a it, and it worked, it sucks that the theme selecter doesnt work for me but at least i can still use themes. so im happy with what ive got for the moment, thanks alot for all the help, would have never figured it out with out it. :P

oh and i am using 3.52M33-4 , but i have had a few other hickups with other programs, so im gonna re install it soon ans see if it fixes things up.( maybie its just a buggered install ^_^)
