Tutorial: How To Use Custom XMB's Theme's Without Flashing by talairina

Introduction:
About C-XMB (Custom XMB) is an amazing Application which allows you use a custom XMB without flashing any files to flash0. This is a very useful application for people who don't want to take the risk of flashing it flash0. This plugin/PRX is currently in beta stages there have only been three releases of this plugin. The creater of this plugin/PRX has also made SCEP-XMB he is called poisonhzjk. This plugin can be flashed to the PSP or be used as a plugin.

You may notice I said it can be flashed or run as plugin. This tutorial will ONLY cover using it as a plugin. Im not a 'flashing' expert nor would I risk flashing XMB changes. If you want to flash it then Im afraid youll need to find another tutorial.

    Requirements:

  • A PSP

  • PSP 3.30OE-A' or 3.40 OE-A (Works on any OE firmware, but these are recommended)

  • Custom XMB Plugin/PRX v.1.1 (Download)

  • WinRar  (Download)

How To Install:

1). Extract the file CXMBv1.zip.

2). Enter the folder CXMBv1(the folder).

3). There will be a folder "TM".

4). Copy "TM" and paste it to the Root of the PSP's Memory Stick.

5).  If your psp has a seplugins folder created then go to 5a other wise goto 5b.
5a). Now go to seplugins(on your PSP's root). Open vsh.txt and add "ms0:/TM/cxmb.prx".
5b). Create a folder called 'seplugins' and copy+paste the vsh.txt in to it.

6). Reboot your PSP and hold R for recovery menu.

7). Scroll down to Plugins and enable cxmb.prx [VSH].

8). Reboot the PSP again and you've now got a custom XMB.

Now place your custom XMB files in ms0:/TM/vsh/resource/*here* and ms0:/TM/font/*here*.


F.A.Q. :

Q). I always get BSoDs (Blue Screen of Death) at start up.

A). This only happens if you haven't inserted your Memory Stick while you are using it as a plugin.


Known Issues:

1). Custom fonts might not displaying some of the time (Original fonts appear instead of custom). This only happens when you do not have all the files in ms0:/TM/font/*here* you need all ltn0.pgf to ltn6.pgf.

2). The font changes to default in game.

3). Sometimes it doesn't change your font to your original font even if you have disabled the plugin in Recovery Mode.

4). The Sony boot logo will always be active even if you have it disabled via Recovery.
