Here is my second update of my theme installer; ThemePSP.

New Stuff (ripped from the read-me):

- New much nicer GUI!
- Options screen now added! You can now completle choose if you just want to install eg. the font and the BG of a theme
- Can install Themes for DevHook FW 1.5, 2.0, 2.5, 26 and 2.71 (the program can't install custom menu names for fw 2.xx
due to a diffrent standard between the fw's)
- Removed the bundled 'GTA style Theme' to reduce the file size
- If you try to intall a theme 4 times in a row the program will automaticlly quit instead of freeze (the freezeing was caused by an unknown bug)
- Updated ThemePSP Creator Pack with the correct image resolution (300x170 pxl)

Images:

The Main Menu:
--

The Options Menu:
--

The Installing Screen:
--

You get get alot of Themes over here.

I'm trying to get enought points to sticky that thread so if your a premium member please donate some points if you like my stuff

Regards, SodR

Cool, well done, i have been looking forward to a new release since the first one!

**PSPHax0r9** · 07-20-2006, 12:41 PM

This program is very cool, I must say, but there's just one thing. Could you please PLEASE make it so that the font is written to the flash1 or memory stick and NOT flash0? Now, if the font corrupts, is corrupt when installing, or something goes wrong later on, there will a looping BSOD or just a brick that can only be fixed by custom firmware. This has already happened several times with your program, and I think you should seriously consider changing the font part.

Ok, I'm doing it now. Gonna upload the new version asap.

hmmm... where in flash1 is the font acctually stored?

EDIT: Meh, I'll fix it later. Maybe in the next version.

Actually my bad, I meant the memory stick, like how Fontmod or whatever the official program's name is makes a folder in the root of your memory stick. But now that I think about it, that could be easily deleted, so I think you're fine.

EDIT: Actually, if you found out how Fontmod works, you COULD redirect the font to a folder in the flash1 that it flashes the font to...

I think my method works ok. Just install a custom fw if you are afraid. But I'll look into that into the next version. Thanks for the tip.

I do have custo firmware, I installed it fromt he gitko, but I know many people that are afraid for no reason to install it. They're probably the same people who would accidentally use a bad font and flash it, etc.

WOW, I REALY Like This Release, Thanks Alot Man

When ThemePSP starts you can click right and left on the D-Pad to decide if you want to flash it to devhook or to your PSP's Flash

**El Diablo** · 07-20-2006, 07:16 PM

thanks for your help man =) does it matter if i have a custom FW?

ERMAC · 07-20-2006, 07:39 PM
