Sony’s Official Theme Creator/Converter for Firmware 3.71
greg | October 1, 2007
Update: zmcnulty of psp-vault.com was kind enough to translate the Japanese PDF; re-download the package below for English instructions.
Thanks otakuman706
Confirmed working on 3.71 M33, and non-hacked 3.71 firmwares, is Sony’s official “Custom Theme Converter.” They must have recognized custom XMB theming is huge amongst the PSP homebrew community, and decided to take it upon themselves to bring forward.
Unfortunately if you’re an English-only reader/writer, you may have some difficulties following the Japanese-only instructions. The Windows app itself is English, and straight forward, so you shouldn’t be too confused.
Thanks to Adam E for the tip.

ohhh…iv been waiting for this
not upgrading to 3.71 until is official that all customs themes work with no problems (including icons and all that stuff)
Who would have thought that Sony would do something right.
thx sony some 1 post a theme pack a.s.a.p thx :>)
it doesnt work entirely. my custom theme doesnt even resemble xmb. sonys one cant do that. ill stick with my current m33 till i have a good reason for 3.71
old news, the theme maker has been out for a few days.
lol…wouldn’t call a few days old news.
I’m not really happy with this application - atleast they are releasing something to customize the theme =/.
Sorry,but is old news.I have more than 30 customs themes made with this APP. from a site called XMB PROYECT.They have very good ptf themes for 3.71
I’ll personally wait until they release something in their US site… those errors that you’re pointing here might be related to the area, like the different kind of savegames between regions
yep.old news.but didnt work for me.im sure i did the right.also the tv option was included.does that mean we’ll be getting the japan only psp tuner
lol Sony are slowly giving us what we want.. lol greg this has been out for days.. but you are a busy man i suppose Greg.. at least you do bother posting it.. ;) thanks sony for making it and Greg for telling everyoe else who knew jack shit about it…
No, Sony is giving you what THEY want. Remember, they locked homebrew coders out of being able to create their own custom themes, all so that Sony can get its own way. In essence, Sony STOLE the custom theme idea from the homebrew scene and by locking them out, told them to fuck off.
Realize when you have been taken advantage of.
The Uncreated
do they have Sony’s Official Theme Creator/Converter for Firmware 3.71
for mac os x
hey, so um… does anyone know about the cxmb plugin? it works pretty good. it works on both buff and slim psp’s (i dont like saying fat, buff is better) it uses 3.5x rcos…
HELLOOO,the app. is for make a full theme into a single file called .ptf and you apply the theme from the xmb so you dont mess with the psp flash and ending with a bricked psp
Besides,its work on 3.71,custom or not
its not fat, its “thick” ha
RUMORS, Sony will make the same thing for PS3 , just RUMORS
well maybe if it were alittle more SIMPLE i wouldnt mind using it… i find this plugin more, how do you people put it… noob friendly. besides, its just a plugin, jeeze… hey, and whats the point of an unbricker if you dont use it? lol… oh, and whats up with the whole “32bit 64×48 png” crap, i dont think you can do that stuff without photoshop. i dont have photoshop….
and wtf, i know it makes them into ptf files. im not stupid. dont be a jerk…
this shit doesnt work i hate to say it. i followed all the intructions to >.>
so how does it install on the 3.71 psp? do u just keep it on your memory card and you can choose from multiple themes easily?
yup
Nice trick sony almost made me update to 3.71 offical firmware lol jk
i would never update to that
even is this old news?
What’s Dark_Alex 3.71m33 for?
umm Dark_AleX is M33 i guess
oh… 3.71 M33 is a custom firmware to run homebrew like custom stuff and emulators
how do you use the themes on 3.71 m33?
n/m got it. so sick
is it just me or just this keep crashing when i load a image file?
yeah.. that might happen i seen it on people that have Vista idk if it matters about the OS operating system
you know i could have sworn i posted this in the forums a couple days ago and look i get no credit
congrats Kermit17
theres your credit^_^
haha thanks
do you go through life looking for situations where you deserve credit?
Does anyone know how to get the preveiw icon to work becuase i have tried every thign that the program tells you to and i still cant seem to make the proper 8 bit 32 color png file can anyone make it for me?
some one should make a tut on it.
I start a 32 x 32 , 32 res inch rgb 8bit transparent image and try to replace the Settings image but keeps saying is wrong and i save it as .PNG
I personally use “XMB Theme Manager” on my fat 3.52 M33 4 cfw. At the moment, it is the way to go as far as I am concerned. It has a plug in enabled in Recovery Mode that reads your XMB theme from a folder that you place in your Root memory card folder. No messing with Flash:0 at all!
Umm, if thats Sony’s Official program, god dam they suck. Looks more like a Visual Basic program, made by a kid.
it works people, but yeah. without at least some basic photoshop skills its pretty confusing for some.
it keeps crashing on me when i load a image!
Okay im ready to make my theme which i have been working for 4 hours on and when i load up the .bmp for the preview it frezzez and when i try to add it to a .txt save and try to eport it frezzez ib BMP Preview compression. Can anyone tell me why plz ?
you need two programs: paint.net and irfanview. MAIN ICONS:64×48,32bit, PNG. resize image in paint.net. then open image in irfanview then go to Image>decrease color dept>256>ok. then save as PNG. there you go! your preview pic (bmp) MUST BE 300×170!!! noone help me i kinda had to figure out on my own, because NOONE wanted to tell how to, and i couldnt open the PDF file :P
M33 M33 WHERE ART THOUGH BE HURRY UP AND HACK THIS MUTHERFUCKER
IS DARK ALEX BACK?? ??
Hm, where in the PSP do i put the .PTF’s?
place it in X:/PSP/THEME
Then select it on your PSP and enjoy your own theme. custom firmware olny…
what’s the sdk folder for? it dosnt say what to do with it :S
sdk is for coders u dont need it
yo im a total noob at this, but could anyone give me a link to where i get premade .ptf themes?
pls…….?
is it posible to convert rco to ptf?
I have a home brew psp and an official i just want my same custome theme on both.
I did what ThePunisher_M1911 said and it works perfectly now. ^^
will this brick my psp ever
