Custom XMB Plugin v1.02

[wraggster]

poisonhzkj (http://www.2alien.info/2007/06/cxmb.html) has released the following in his words:


Here is a plugin for CFW, It cant be easier to customize your XMB with this plugin in your system, It makes no change to your system files in Flash0, It just redirect the resource file path to ms0: by Hooking some funtions and doing some memory patch.
so, you know, It's always safe, you never have to take the risk of bricking your PSP in customizing XMB.
It is a part of SCEP project ,so a XMB theme controller would be brought into SCX...this module would be the core of that.

CXMB 1.02 contains Calabi Spheres XMB Icons theme

How to Install:

Active it as the first plugin in vsh.txt.(or you can just flash it into flash0:/kn and add /kd/cxmb.prx after /kd/vshctrl.prx in flash0:/kn/pspbtcnf.txt)

How to Use:
Create a Folder ms0:/TM/ and put your resource files there like this
ms0:/TM/vsh/resource/ contains 1-all or none of these files
"visualizer_plugin.rco",
"gameboot.pmf",
"opening_plugin.rco",
"01-12.bmp",
"game_plugin.rco",
"impose_plugin.rco",
"photo_plugin.rco",
"msvideo_main_plugin.rco",
"system_plugin_bg.rco",
"system_plugin_fg.rco",
"system_plugin.rco",
"sysconf_plugin.rco",
"topmenu_plugin.rco"
ms0:/TM/font/ contains at least the first 6 or none of these 19 files
"ms0:/TM/font/ltn0.pgf",
"ms0:/TM/font/ltn4.pgf",
"ms0:/TM/font/ltn10.pgf",
"ms0:/TM/font/gb3s1518.bwfon",
"ms0:/TM/font/kr0.pgf",
"ms0:/TM/font/jpn0.pgf"
"ms0:/TM/font/ltn1.pgf",
"ms0:/TM/font/ltn2.pgf",
"ms0:/TM/font/ltn3.pgf",
"ms0:/TM/font/ltn5.pgf",
"ms0:/TM/font/ltn6.pgf",
...........
"ms0:/TM/font/ltn15.pgf"
and it works...

Attention:
if you just use it as a OE plugin,and you shut down your PSP in game mode then start it without your memory stick inserted.. you will get a BSOD. if you got BSOD.. you can shut down PSP and insert your memoryStick then reboot, or just press O to fix your registry. Anyway, if you flash it into flash0, there is no this kind of problem.

wasnt this already posted like 4 posts ago? just with less introduction and words

oh sorry, didnt notice this is version .02 with updates :D

[Lukeson]

Does this plugin slow down your PSP in any way?

[shedeus]

nope. only a slight lag on bootup to load opening rco (possibly)

[DarthPaul]

Wow,having this in SCEP would be awesome.

Indeed. I say the next release of SCEP will have this. I'm using this plugin myself, and I guess I need to use this updated version.

I'm not sure if it's the same thing if you flash it, or if it's just general behaviour for custom XMB's - But if you use it as a plugin in vsh.txt, you will get a white background, rendering your icons invisible - Switching on wallpapers in the XMB will solve this. I still failed to launch any homebrew however, as the plugin seemingly mixed the original PSP-logo with the modified one, and chrashed the psp.
I'm on 3.03 oe.
Great plugin though. I'm rather cautious with the flash and this is a great alternative for people like me :)

Great plugin! will help people to STOP bricking!

[ZeakStarwind]

*Sigh*...This is the same thing as the 4 news post before. The filesize is the same also. So technically, you're using v1.02 either way. Thanks for the post though. It will help the others not having to mess with their flash0 at all. NOTE: If you're playing POPS on your PSP and return back to your PSP menu, your XMB theme won't come back on, it will revert back to the original Flash0's firmware theme. Sometimes it'll do it and sometimes it won't.

EDIT: Never Mind this is kind of new lol. Ignore my post =P

This is a great program, its easy to test mods with no flashing! Along with full mods.

Great Job (just a matter of time before this came out after seeing the anti update plugin)

[jcvargas524]

this is the one to go

[Nikolaos]

ooo, this is excellent for people afraid to flash there psp, but if they got dax cfw, then i see no point of being afraid.

[Buddy4point0]

i just flash. its the easyest way. hopfully though this will stop some noobs from bricking.

[mcdougall57]

finally ive gone through a shed load of semi-bricking

[Veskgar]

YES! Like I said about the other release, this will get me to start customizing my PSP's as I won't have to mess with the flash.

[Apoklepz]

Is there something like this that will randomize gameboot.pmf applications from a folder in the MS?

[narutogod22]
