cxmb for 5.50 gen-b

psp & miku hachune

bored of the usual theme for your psp? at least, i was... and even though there was loads of tutorial out there, most of them weren't quite useful, ended up with many broken links, wrong plugin version and etc. alas, here i've compiled something that finally works

here's a lengthy but fairly simple tutorial to get started with

* notes:
- to be specific, this is only for cxmb for 5.50 gen-b, it might work with other versions (maybe)
- the tutorial goes through the lite installation which only enables usage of ctf themes
- to re-enable the usual ptf themes, disable the cxmb plugin
- follow the tutorial at your own risk (although completely safe, i will not be held liable if anything happens to your psp)

1) download 27300_CXMB5.50.zip via link
2) extract contents of zip file

3) connect psp to the computer (usb)

4) in the root, create a cxmb folder
5) put cxmb.prx, conf.txt into the cxmb folder

6) in the root, create a seplugins folder
7) in the seplugins folder, create a vsh.txt text file
8) open vsh.txt and add the following line: ms0:/cxmb/cxmb.prx
9) save and close vsh.txt

10) exit usb mode and disconnect the psps from the computer

11) power off the psp
12) hold on the R button and power on the psp

13) in the recovery menu, go to Plugins ->
14) make sure cxmb.prx [VSH] is enabled, if not just highlight and press to enable
15) highlight and click on Back
16) highlight and click on Exit

that's it for the plugin - now it's time to get some ctf themes to test it out~ a good place to start with is Themes for PSP site

* to enable the new downloaded themes

17) connect psp to the computer (usb)
18) paste the ctf files into PSP\THEME folder
19) exit usb mode and disconnect the psp from the computer

20) via PSP menu, go to the briefcase icon and select Theme Settings > Theme
21) choose the new theme and apply

the system will restart and if everything goes right, your new theme will appear successfully~ have fun experimenting some of the new themes!
