ThemePSP v2 Released

greg | December 15, 2006

Update: Now we’re not out to deliberately cause problems in the PSP homebrew scene; however, developer SodR — along with a few others who wish to remain anonymous — have sent emails with evidence that ThemePSP v2 is in fact a rip-off from SodR’s original developments. Even though its been slightly modified there was no credit given to the original author, and I feel he should be recognized for his hard work. So, props to you SodR, and thanks!


M_Roc a.k.a. Mz8691 SodR has released a “theme installer” allowing you to easily customize your PSP to be unique, much like your cool self. The PS3 theme (screen shot/download below) caught my attention, and I’m sure you’ll dig it too. Keep in mind this does write to flash in order to achieve the custom look and feel. Use at your own risk.

ThemePSP v2 Screenshot

v2 changes:

  • New GUI
  • Added options screen
  • Install themes for DevHook FW 1.5, 2.0, 2.5, 26 and 2.71
  • Updated ThemePSP Creator Pack with the correct image resolution (300×170 px)
  • added a “PS3″ theme

Download: ThemePSP v2 (PS3 theme included)

Damn! Looks really awesome, I’ll try it out soon. I never saw v1 on the front page, so I never knew this existed. I’m not sure about the flash part, though…

sweetness love how people just make shit to right along with the amazing progess that booster is doing busting up the fw’s, i was at 2.71 for the longest time even when i was aqquiring 2.80+ games that i wasnt being able to play, i sort of noticed after uping to dh .5.0.100.1000 wetf it is, that not all the fw files were ms accessable anymore, which started making problems for me since wallpaper was no longer storable in the theme directory, making my BG be blank balck everytime i turned my psp off and back on, hopefully this sorts that issue as im still loading the files i wanna use on my ms, let you all know soon REALLY SOON…………………….it wa so soon i can already say AWSOME!!!!!!!!!!!! nice work mate youll have a name for yourself way sooner than you think if you keep at this pace.

hey M_Roc judging off this i can tell you really really know your shit, can i ask you to make me something really custom…earlier some several pages back it was claimed that someone made a 1.5 flasher to have a soft reset on 1.5, very similar to how (home+start) resets the dh fw’s i want a flasher to load a reset option to my 1.5 fw cause honestly im getting really annoyed with having to hold the power switch just to get back into my dh. before you tell me to try the other post i DID and its no where compatable with 1.5, i mean the eboots arnt even properly formatted with 2 diffrent directories you know the standard ( directory1 directory2(%) ). anyway let me know. Thanks.

2006-12-15 21:34:26

sorry something i just now noticed, your screen shot is obvious fw 3.0+ seeing how no fw’s below that have any kind of camera capabily… but your desricption 1.5,2.0,2.5,2.6,2.71 did you just forget to add 3.0 also, or did i somehow glitch it to work on my 3.02?

 
Comment by jippy
2006-12-15 21:58:16

is there any way to add the ps3 theme to devhook emulation? without flashing? maybe by putting the files in the f0 folder.

 
Comment by M_Roc
2006-12-15 21:58:17

Well, its not really in v2 im also working on a v3 that works with 1.5-3.02(dh).thats where the screen shot came from.and it fixes like 1 bug..theres not many bugs i only fixed it to work good with 3.02 dh’s. look at the topic for more updates on that:

hey does this work on a 2.71se-c psp using 1.50 kernel?

 
Comment by mmnr
2006-12-15 22:48:26

SE-C?

I hope so…
Please tell.

 
Comment by M_Roc
2006-12-15 23:09:06

I dont really know about the SE-C . Never used SE-C or any SE FW. Meybe its just a theme flash installer.

I’ll have to update to 2.71 SE-C to make sure.

and yes you can copy the files from the theme pack to devhook files.

in the pic thats 3.02.

go figure.

:)

devhook fw 1.5? um. so it wont work on regular 1.5? w/o devhook?

 
Comment by M_Roc
2006-12-15 23:21:47

No, it is for regular 1.5 FW. The devhook part is that you can also “flash” the theme to the DH FW’s. so you dont have to keep copying and pasting all the time to make your psp custom. Themes your 1.5, and DH 2.0 – 2.71, so far. in the update im working on works with DH 2.80-3.02

Hey, M. ROC, great job I must say! but could u fix the annoying square in the “DATE TIME SETTINGS” its in between “date” and “time”. not sure if its just my psp, but i tryed installing it twice and it still came up, any solution. Thanks

Comment by M_Roc
2006-12-15 23:47:12

Well, its just the font. meybe if i make the font smaller.

I’ll check that out, and yes it did happen to mine but its not the end of the world..lol

also is there a way to make the ps3 swivel in the background move instead of the regular psp one. if not, how do u disable the psp swivel. not sure if thats what its called. lol

Comment by M_Roc
2006-12-15 23:48:54

Its called the psp waves. and you can remove the waves with x-flash 17b.

in the next themepsp i will enclude that extra. removing the waves.

look at x-flash for now.

Comment by M_Roc
2006-12-16 00:00:46

I know this question does not fit in here, but I didn’t know where else too post it … Is there or do you know if there ever will be a Bit Torrent client for PSP. I’ve been wonderin about that myself for awhile.

Um.. the PS3 theme in the themnes folder shows the bg, but doesn’t change the font. The added PS3 theme shows the font, but no bg. Well, for me.

Comment by Name Here
2006-12-16 09:52:55

I thought the same and this is what I had to do to get it back to normal 1.5.
1. Find the 1.5 to 1.0 DOWNDATER.
2. Put it on your PSP and run it.
3. Hard Reboot
4. Go into the 1.5 Update and run that.
5. Reboot to have Normal 1.5

Note:
Using the RegHack for firmware version changer doesn’t help. If you change it to 1.0 and run the 1.5 Update, the update will cause an error. Did for me anyways. Guess’ing cause the flash install this app does.

This APP Needs more work. Good start tho.

You can use devhook to test it out. all you need is devhook .46 (.51 DH is in a beta right now, only supports 2.71-3.02)but with this app you can “flash”(its relly just copying the files from the theme to the right spots in the DH files).. i recomend testing it on dh 2.71.

all you have to do is when you load the themepsp v2 app in game, when it loads up press D-pad right intill you go to:
Devhook FW 2.71

thats all

you dont need to flash it, you can devhook it also.
flash is for if you want the theme on your 1.5 psp

Beware flashing applications… There is a limit to the number of times you can do it… Everytime you flash, you move one step closer to a brick…

Doesn’t mean you can’t do it as you can probably get away with 100 or so flashes but be warned, there is an unknown limit…

 
Comment by M_Roc
2006-12-16 16:21:11

I have tested my app 1000 times. if you just follow the steps right.. your ok. if you mess with the files in the themes that you dont know what your doing. you might brick..i never bricked. its simple.
easy,fast, great.

i just ran it on my psp with SE-C using irshell it bricked my psp!!
Don’t do it if your on SeC
thankfully i had the recovery menu so i just had to restore it back to SE-C the best way if you want to have the fancy ps3 look is to flash 1 or 2 of the best looking backgrounds onto your psp using xflash 17b and do the same for the font

Comment by igor
2006-12-17 01:07:44

probably bricked because you ran it through irShell, which let you run the program. if you try to go to it through xmb in 271 SE-C it will just show up as corrupt data.

from looking at the files in the theme, i think they’re just images. too bad though.

you dont have to flash this guys…and I have it running on 3.02 also
follow this guide I found in the original post
gameboot(*.pmf) goto: X:\DH\30x\f0\vsh\resource
Font(*.pgf) goto: X:\DH\30x\f0\font
background(*.bmp) goes: X:\DH\30x\f1\vsh\theme
you may have to copy all the *.bmp files to your “PHOTO” file also, then just select the one you want to use as the wallpaper…works awsome,and no flashing involved 100% safe!

sorry, i forgot to tell you…the only file you need if you already have devhook is the “PS3 Theme” folder…the file that goes into the game folder is used to flash this to 1.5 only. Personally, I wont do that just yet

Thanks dude, it worked great, dont think im gonna keep it, the font is way to big, its a good thing i backed up my 302, but it was a great way to try it out without flashing

if you value your psp’s life,.. dont use this program until there is a good release,….i used this thing,… i did everything the right way, but it doesnt work and im not gonna try it again,.. cause it seems kinda buggy,. { a psp theme prog its fun, but it isnt worth the bricking chance ( no offense to the creators offcourse, its always good to see more and improved free software for the psp )

Hey great work man! I like what you do and hope you’ll keep up the great job. Hopefully the next version you’ll be able to make the background wave for real…just like the ps3. It’ll be so great dude. =)

I’ll Stick to altering these files manually, if you know how to read then there are plenty of tutorials out there to tell you how to do it. as with any program that involves writing to the flash (wether it does the hard work for you or not) if you don’t know what it’s doing, or rather what you’re doing, you probably shouldn’t be doing it. there are plenty of resorces out there to teach you how to do what you want to do. Just thinking some people should try to educate themselves a little is all.

M_roc is a piece of siht who riped off another programmer (SodR) and just changed the readme and some pictures, if he was any real programmer he would have fixed the bugs in themepsp so it didn’t BRICK MY PSP!!!!!!!!!!!
P.S im not blameing any one because it was at my owne risk
