IMPORTANT 2 : The AppleCor theme included is just for 3.52!! If you are on 3.40 OE please delete it!!!

The one included yes. But when you download themes you need to be sure it is for the version you are using.

[psper12345]

thanks i love theme manager and it supports everything by the looks of it ill use it

[SchmilK]

LOL Good job on the release..i finally got around to changing the language config and look what i found

BEST FLASHER EVAR!!!!!!!

VERY well done luizlizard!!

[Adiuvo]

I like this app alot, thanks for the update

[NoTimeDotCom]

I just love themes and theme related apps. Thanks a lot. this is great.

[xpack]

Great Job on the release Luizlizard

[Sable]

Something that annoys me is that despite my deleting the DIC folder it asks me to delete the Japanese fonts. If you do this it removes the Playstation symbols in the XMB and for some reason renders Monster Hunter Freedom unplayable (no text). I have enough space but it won't let me install the theme. Maybe a built in space checker or something like x-Flash of old? Please make a version with that jap font guard removed. Otherwise, great GUI, nice extras menu, good file support, keep it up

[xpack]

Well when you delete the dic folder that has the font's for game and so if your game has jap text there not going to show

[Greyone]

How do you use cxmb with this release?
Do you still use install to flash when your installing a new theme to it?
Or is there a way to enable cxmb?

[Sable]

Not at all. The DIC folder is no problem. I remove that along with the camera, gps, network update plugins. My bone is with the jpn0.pgf.

This flashes the files. CXMB just loads a few selected files from the memory stick. Not as good file support, hence the continuation of theme managers.

[luizlizard]

Greyone:

When a basic theme is selected, with no PRX's and that things, an option to install to CXMB will be enabled, but with full themes like AppleCor that support will not be enabled. The PSP's Flash NAND is able to handle billions of read/write cycles, and even if you flashed things daily it would not wear off in a year, and since there is no risk of a full brick with themes, i dont see a reason to use CXMB.

Sable:

I would allow users to flash a theme without flashing dummys to the jap fonts, but there are so many people who dont know anything about the PSP that i don't want to take the risk and leave it to user decision. But if you want i can send you a version with that check disabled so you can leave the jap fonts and just delete the DIC folder. Just PM me.

Yeah, i think only premiums have the option to donate but it is ok, im glad you enjoyed my application.

BTW, To mods, apparently nobody noticed i released this because no one has posted an article in pspupdates.qj.net about this yet. Is there a way to inform them about the release?

[Vanden]

You can post it yourself on http://my.qj.net/ and if people like it they can jump it up....And after it get some jumps it will show up on the front page..

[kane2007uk]

thx luizlizard, it was definately worth the wait

[pineapple]

i'm getting a "cannot find 'flash 0 :/kn/pspbtknf.bin' error : no script file found" I'm running 3.52-2 CFW. Am I doing something wrong?

[binacaboy]

AHH yes im getting the same error, its only for one of my themes though. im also running 3.52M33-2. Please HELP!!

[luizlizard]

What action you made before that error came?

[binacaboy]

okay i would hit flash and it would go through the 31 files like normal then it would say

error: ...me Manager v0.4\system\decompiled\35 2\functions.luac:334
cannot find 'flash 0 :/kn/pspbtknf.bin'
error : no script file found"

Press Start to Reset

So then i would have to reset the program and reflash one that works. Its really confusing what could this be??

[Tmike]

nice mayne thanks for this one.. ive been waiting for this..

great job ..thanks a lot

Let me check, i think it's because LuaC left some traces of the build path as you can see here:

error: ...me Manager v0.4\system\decompiled\352\functions.luac:334

And LuaPlayer is getting confused with them.

I will open the code to see what's happening.

EDIT: Error spotted!!! Uploading fix now.

Here it is : Theme Manager v0.4 FIX

[binacaboy]

wow, your amazing, thank you so much, it works now.

[delight1]

is there a reason this makes a file in the root of my memory stick, which is named in a manor to deter it's deletion?
