CXMB 2.5 Tutorial, Original News Thread and Compatibility Reports

This is all tested using a Phat PSP running 3.71M33

Using CXMB 2.5

1. Create a folder on the root of the PSP's memory card called cxmb
In this example
The windows drive I: is the root of the PSP memory stick.

2. Copy the cxmb.prx to this folder



3. In the cxmb folder create two folders called: vsh and font
(copy only one custom font into the font folder: ltn0.pgf)



4. Inside of the vsh folder create another folder called: resource



5. Inside of the resource folder copy all of the custom RCO's that you want to use.
(To use a custom back ground resize the image to 352x199.
Make sure its .BMP and named 01-12.bmp as shown in the pic.)



6. Go to the seplugins folder on your memory stick and edit the vsh.txt file to include the line:
ms0:/cxmb/cxmb.prx



7. Boot into Recovery and Enable the CXMB plug-in

If you want to change the background of a custom theme to use the 01-12.bmp background image
(So that the waves ride on top of the background image)

This example uses the Black Rhizura theme for 3.71M33

1. Go to Settings -> Color -> Choose the First color icon under By Month



2. Next Go to Settings -> Wallpaper and Choose Original.



3. Reboot your PSP the best way you know how



4. Now the waves ride on top of the background image:

Great tutorial but I have a problem. On my slim when I enter recovery mode (I have 3.71m33-2) I don't see cxmb.prx in plugins section :/ what am I doing wrong?

[ddarkk]

What if the theme contains a "nodule" folder ....

what should i do

[wildboy99]

i did everything in the above tutorial but wen i go to restart the psp after enabling the cxmb.prx it freezes then turns off on the boot logo

I am on 3.71M33-2 and when I try to use this I just get a freeze on boot.

There have been people saying this does in fact work on 3.71M33 and others say that it doesn't, which is correct because I really want to use this???

Hi !! I'm new here !
Really great your tutorial MicroNut !!
I got just a problem with the theme AppleCor that you can find on this web site : http://www.pspgen.com/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=5038
The archive of this folder has a folder named "vsh" and inside this one there is a sub folder named "module" which includes the files paf.prx and vshmain.prx ? Where shall I put them ? Without these files I can't see the menu correctly !
Thanks in Advance !!
