Download: CXMB v2.5

Great!! Haven't ever tested CXMB before though. =/

topmenu_plugin's won't work (as yet) as the format for them have changed, the text and the icon's have now been seperated into seperate files.

However, font's, gameboot's, prx's and maybe even different rco's should all work fine.

These are my results with this so far.

1-12.bmp (wallpaper)= running, although several icons go missing on the xmb but they still have their text next to them

gameboot.pmf = running fine

impose_plugin = freezes when using web browser

system_plugin.rco = freezes xmb after a few seconds

system_plugin_bg.rco(waves) = running fine

system_plugin_fg.rco = freezes at initial "Sony Computer Entertainment" screen, switches off

topmenu_plugin.rco(Icons) = freezes on xmb without any icons showing at all, swicthes off

Game_plugin.rco = seems to be working, I dont have a de-branded one to check at this point in time.

Mike..

Mike did you try this?

"Resize the background BMP to 352x199
If you try and use it as background theme (the first selectable theme color) without resizing the image
You will randomly loose the display of some icons. (white blocks)
Once the BMP is resized you can convert it to a JPG.
Then rename it to 01-12.BMP <- make sure to change the extension from JPG to BMP"
(converting themes and using CXMB)

If someone already hasnt tried this:
I am going to try to covert a ptf theme to RCO and then use RCOEdit114d
To convert a theme...

CXMB is one of my fav plug-ins
I have a 2.71M33 PSP I use just for this kind of testing.

i got the plugin installed, but when i place a BG or wave rco nothing changes, can someone do a mini guide on how to get a working vsh change please

will this plugin work on the phat psp or is it just for the slim?

After working with this a bit this is what i have found.

I Coverted the wipeEout ptf to rco
but its useless as a conversion template.
Most of the icons names have changed.

The old trick of renaming 01-12.jpg to 01-12.bmp no longer seems to work.

The custom WipEout ptf theme seems to have no problems with a custom 01-12.bmp

I rebooted and powered off and up... no corruption.
Tested on a Phat PSP running 3.71M33

How do i use this theres No instructions.



Do i Put the .prx in the seplugins or what.


Sorry to sound noobish.

you need to make a folder called "cxmb" in the root of your memory stick, then add the folders font and vsh to that , then add resources to the vsh folder, then put your prx files in there and obviously your fonts go in the font folder :)

Micronut.

Tahnks for the tip on re sizing the wallpapers, although I havent had complete success with it yet, I have managed to shrink it and get most of the icons back, but some of them have gone a little weird, I think I will wait until there is an English language tutorial on the new theme creator from Sony (yes they actually have released a prog to make your own themes for 3.60 +) as I want my Bleach wallpapers at full screen with my waves :):)
