CXMB 3.0 for 3.71/3.90 plugin (寫給外星人)

13.03.2008 updated

*IMPORTANT*
I have to say sorry again, I make mistake packing 3.90's cxmb.prx into the 3.71 pack in yesterday release, I repack it and it work now. 囧rz

-=FIRST OF ALL=-
I have to say sorry for all user of the previous CXMB version who had converted any theme to ctf format, because I update the ctf format structure in this version, in order to display it in XMB's theme selector, there must be a valid ptf header in my ctf format.
SO, YOU HAVE TO CONVERT ALL THEME AGAIN! ;)

Please read through this post or readme.txt before using.

Some ready for CXMB 3.0 ctf themes here

CXMB 3.0 for 3.71m33/3.90m33 by Poison
==============================

A hand-made PSP XMB theme (witch is usually hex edited from the official PSP firmware files) enabler.

-=FEATURE=-
+Without touching your PSP Nand flash, you can get all amazing effect provided by traditional ready flash theme show in your XMB. (I mean nothing would be written into flash)
+With CXMB full version installed, traditional XMB theme would be packed into a .ctf (short of cxmb theme file) file, then you can share it easier, and CXMB lite version user can download .ctf file then apply it.
+You can select your theme via XMB's theme selector (Settings->Theme settings->Theme) , and apply it.
-Fix a font bug ( after sleep or usb connection it display ugly character ).

-=REQUIREMENTS=-
A PSP (either fat or slim one) with 3.71m33/3.90m33 custom firmware (or whatever CFW with which you can start cxmb.prx while PSP booting into XMB) installed.
3 decrypted prx (paf.prx, common_gui.prx, vshmain.prx) from official 3.71/3.90 update EBOOT.PBP if you want to use CXMB full version to convert traditional XMB theme to a .ctf file.

-=CXMB INSTALLATION=-
Lite Version:
-Copy cxmb folder to your memory stick.
-Add a line ms0:/cxmb/cxmb.prx in your vsh.txt (ms0:/seplugins/vsh.txt).
You will get a file structure like this:
ms0:/
|-cxmb/
| |-cxmb.prx
|-seplugins/
| |-vsh.txt
|-PSP/
| |-THEME/
-Reboot PSP and enable cxmb.prx in Recovery menu.
Full Version:
-Get RS Psar Dumper by Red Squirrel from http://redsquirrel.pspgen.com/RSPsarDumper/files/RSPsar%20Dumper%20v3.1.rar.
-Get the official 3.71/3.90 update EBOOT.PBP.
-Follow the readme of Psar Dumper, decrypt and dump 3 prx (paf.prx, common_gui.prx, vshmain.prx).
-Copy cxmb folder to your memory stick, and place the 3 decrypted prx in cxmb/support/ .
-Add a line ms0:/cxmb/cxmb.prx in your vsh.txt (ms0:/seplugins/vsh.txt).
You will get a file structure like this:
ms0:/
|-cxmb/
| |-support
| | |-paf.prx
| | |-common_gui.prx
| | |-vshmain.prx
| |-cxmb.prx
|-seplugins/
| |-vsh.txt
|-PSP/
| |-THEME/
-Reboot PSP and enable cxmb.prx in Recovery menu.

-=NOTICE=-
-Restore to original theme before you install CXMB.
-You can't see official ptf theme in theme setting after you enabling CXMB.
-After you apply a theme in XMB's theme setting, it will reboot PSP automatically.
-DON'T forget to edit the conf.txt before you convert a new traditional theme. if the theme you specifics in conf.txt exist, it won't be override.
-CXMB Lite version can only use ctf theme file.
-It will take some time to build ctf file in XMB booting up after you install new traditional theme.
-Remove/Replace the theme in use or plug out memory stick at XMB runtime might cause some font issue (if your theme contains a custom font), after that XMB might display some characters odd.( it seems fixed in this version )
-Please follow GPL License using the source code.

there's a lot of other text on this page that are just squares.

I had tried to send another comment about the plugin. I'm setting it up right now but so far it seems pretty cool.

(Me not being a coder, I try to appreciate the work that everyone on the scene does, and remember that it is cooler than i seems to me because I don't even know how to do this stuff. I hate it when someone else who doesn't know how will bitch about something that totally rocks but has a bug that no one else is experiencing.)

Also, the readme.txt is all jumbled. Not griping, I just didn't know if you knew. If you turn wordwrap off it's 4 lines of text. Yeah, you can kind of read it. But the part about the file structure doesn't make any sence. I copied and pasted it from here so I'm fine.

but, Well, I guess if other people can't do the same then they're just lazy right? haha

. peace .

ogredeschnique, thanks for your feedback, and if you are using a unix like text reader, the text will just display in right way, because I use LF line endings in readme.txt. ;)
