How to Install .Ctf Theme to your Psp with Custom Firmware.




One of the coolest features of having a Custom Firmwared Psp is the themes, among this theme's .ctf formatted themes are the coolest, it contains, custom bootsound, coolboots, gameboots, custom sounds, new icons, and just about anything. not unlike the previous procedure in applying custom themes, today's way is far more eassier and advance let me show you how.

Requirements:
- a Psp (Phat or Slim) Running in Custom Firmware ofcourse. such as 3.70, 3.71, or 3.80 and above *absolutely do not try this with Psp running in official firmwares.
- a USB cable or Memory Stick Adaptor.
- an Internet Connection ofcourse.


Here is How:
Step 1: (Downloading the CXMB plugin)
- Download CXMB plugin which can be found Here.
- Open the "CXMB_full_all_cf" Folder copy all its content into the root of your Psp which is Ms0:/ overwriting any necessary files.
- If you already have a running plugin just copy the "cxmb" and "PSP" folder, open the "seplugins" folder and open the vsh.txt with a notepad, copy the line code which is "ms0:/cxmb/cxmb.prx" and paste it inside your original vsh.txt inside your psp, path should be Ms0:/seplugins/vsh.txt

Step 2: (Running Cxmb Plugins)
- Reboot your Psp and Hold the "R" button wait for the configuration to appear.
- Go to Plugins/ and enbale the Cxmb.prx plugin, click back and click exit.
- Your Psp should boot up on your main Xmb Menu by now.

Step 3: (Download the .Ctf theme and applying it)
- Plugin your Psp on to your computer using USB cable or Memory Stick Adaptor
- Goto to website http://www.consolespot.net/psp-themes/
- Be sure to read carefully the right version of .ctf theme are you planning to use. there should have 3.80 or 5.00 or 5.50 in every name.
- Once you choose your favorite theme Download it (you will need to register on their site to download a theme. its free.)
- Extract the downloaded file to your desktop so you can locate it easily.
- Copy and Paste the .Ctf theme to your Psp path should be Ms0:/Psp/Themes/
- Unplug your Psp from your computer and go to Settings/Theme Settings/ and choose your just downloaded .ctf theme.
- Your Psp will automatically reboot once you choose a .ctf theme. and there you have it, you just applied an Cxmb plugins to your psp and it can now run .ctf downloaded themes. Congratulations!


Technical Support:
- In some sort, there might be a little problem selecting an .ctf theme and probably might semi-bricked your psp, but dont worry, to fix this just reboot your psp and hold "R" button, disable the plugins, reboot back to normal, and choose the classic theme, and apply the plugins again. select the themes again, and such. and there should be no problem.
