In my opinion, It's a nice app except the icon. XD
For some special needed, I do a bit modification in the svn source to add remote controller support and prevent my mac from sleeping while it is performing slideshow.

CXMB 3.3 for 3.71+ by Poison
==============================

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

+Add 5.0 capability.

-Fix some wrong io opration (I wrote some sceIoClose where there should be sceIoDclose)
+Clean up sources (yea... I think I did it..)
3.1:

before 3.0:
+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.


-=REQUIREMENTS=-

Actually I had not touched PSP for more than 3 months, but I should apologize to who wait for this release, huh. and there would be an update of CXMB these days. BTW, my current major work is about Human MicroRNA computational prediction methods(mainly using Drasha/Dicer site), the PSP group is very huge, right? if somebody like to share some information with me about that, email me, thanks.

I received an email asking me why 3.2 comes after 4.0, hmm... 4.0 is a mod of cxmb from Miriam, it's the first work cxmb in 4.01m33, but it's not my release, so I just follow my own version number rule.

Changes in 3.2.1:
-Fix bug ( freeze while applying theme )
-Fix bug ( restore to original official XMB when returns from game )
+make official XMB NOT a choice of random.

Somebody has modified cxmb to work at 4.01, but pity to say that, it used a wrong ctf magic 0xDEAD0400 ( should be 0xDEAD0401 ), so if you had produced some themes with that version, they won't be applied at CXMB 3.2, you can hex edit it at offset 0x10 to make it work.
If you want to contribute to CXMB, just contact me, I will add you to the CXMB google project so that you can commit source, it would save our time, right? ;)
By the way, I can't find the newest PSARDUMPER source, it's a GPL project right? is there a new rule breaker?

<font color="red" size="4">New In This Version</font>
1. Add 4.01 capability.
2. Select the random.ctf, then cxmb will randomly apply your themes in /PSP/THEME/
3. Compile universal binary, cxmb.prx should work on 3.71/3.80/3.90/4.01
4. Fix some wrong io opration (I wrote some sceIoClose where there should be sceIoDclose)
5. Clean up sources (yea... I think I did it..)

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

      <![CDATA[<font color="red">EDIT: 3.71 is not supported in this version, and I think I would not update a 3.71 version, because it's more boring than I thought, so sorry. ;(</font>

As its name "HostCore", it's a module "bridges" your PC contents to PSP,  with it enabled, you can access music, video, games locate in PC  via USBHostFs or NetHostFs directly from XMB.
After writing up this app, I can't stop thinking, "human is always ignorant". I remember I had tried to write something like hostcore 1 and a half year ago. No matter how hard I "struggling" at that time, it just gave me hundreds of crash. but how about now? It just piece of cake, I have to admit that the guy who struggling on it 1 and a half year ago is quit foolish. Maybe after some years, I would feel the current myself kind of bull shit. There's alway limitation of the ability and knowledge of human, so we can't forecasts the earthquake, we can't stop the war. As you known, a 7.8 magnitude earthquake happened at my motherland, more than 10000 ppls died, and we can do nothing, because of our ignorant, our weakness. I really feel sad about that.

What's new?
+ add 3.80m33 support.
+ improve wifi compatibility in playing game(bug #0008 some games might not start on wifi mode due to some user memory issues fixed).
- fix bug #0007(randomly fail on loading eboot.bin with error 0x80010013[SCE_ERROR_ERRNO_ENODEV])
- fix bug #0009(crash on exiting some games)

CXMB 3.1 for 3.71m33/3.80m33/3.90m33 by Poison
==============================

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


-=FEATURE=-
3.1:
+You can build .ctf file with a ptf that including wallpaper.
-Readjusts the reboot delay after applying a theme to prevent some registry issue.
+Add 3.80 capability.
3.0:
+You can select your theme via XMB&apos;s theme selector (Settings-&gt;Theme settings-&gt;Theme) , and apply it.
-Fix a font bug ( after sleep or usb connection it display ugly character ).
before 3.0:
+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.


-=REQUIREMENTS=-

<font color="red" size="4">*IMPORTANT*</font>
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.
<font color="blue">SO, YOU HAVE TO CONVERT ALL THEME AGAIN! ;)</font>

Notice:
1. document reader only recognize UTF8 plain text
2. there is only ascii font built in, you can put additional font into CheatMaster folder with file name "font" to make doc reader show Chinese/Japanese etc.
3. here is a little psp homebrew <a href="http://www.2alien.info/stuff/FontConvertor.zip">Font Convertor</a> to convert freetype font to the format CheatMaster  uses, notice there's copyright in some freetype fonts,  you will take your own risk to use it. place freetype font as "font1" with the EBOOT.PBP and run it, Left/Right adjust font width and Up/Down for height, there will be a font created at ms0 root.
