From the maker of the SCEP plugin, comes the Custom XMB plugin.

Basically this plugin, once enabled in the vsh.txt, will allow the use of custom RCOs from the memory stick instead of ones flashed to flash0

Guide Can be found HERE

Quote:

Here is a plugin for CFW, It cant be easier to customize your XMB with this plugin in your system, It makes no change to your system files in Flash0, It just redirect the resource file path to ms0: by Hooking some funtions and doing some memory patch.
so, you know, It's always safe, you never have to take the risk of bricking your PSP in customizing XMB.
It is a part of SCEP project ,so a XMB theme controller would be brought into SCX...this module would be the core of that.
Download: CXMB 1.0 contains Calabi Spheres XMB Icons theme
How to Install:
Active it as the first plugin in vsh.txt.(or you can just flash it into flash0:/kn and add /kd/cxmb.prx after /kd/vshctrl.prx in flash0:/kn/pspbtcnf.txt)
How to Use:
Create a Folder ms0:/TM/ and put your resource files there like this
ms0:/TM/vsh/resource/ contains 1-all or none of these files
"visualizer_plugin.rc o",
"gameboot.pmf",
"opening_plugin.rco",
"01-12.bmp",
"game_plugin.rco",
"impose_plugin.rco",
"photo_plugin.rco",
"msvideo_main_plugin.rco" ,
"system_plugin_bg.rco ",
"system_plugin_fg.rco ",
"system_plugin.rco",
"sysconf_plugin.rco",
"topmenu_plugin.rco"
ms0:/TM/font/ contains at least the first 6 or none of these 19 files
"ms0:/TM/font/ltn0.pgf",
"ms0:/TM/font/ltn4.pgf",
"ms0:/TM/font/ltn10.pgf",
"ms0:/TM/font/gb3s1518.bwfon",
"ms0:/TM/font/kr0.pgf",
"ms0:/TM/font/jpn0.pgf"
"ms0:/TM/font/ltn1.pgf",
"ms0:/TM/font/ltn2.pgf",
"ms0:/TM/font/ltn3.pgf",
"ms0:/TM/font/ltn5.pgf",
"ms0:/TM/font/ltn6.pgf",
...........
"ms0:/TM/font/ltn15.pgf"
and it works...
Attention:
if you just use it as a OE plugin, you will get a BSOD when you start your PSP without your memory stick inserted. if you got BSOD.. you can shut down PSP and insert your memoryStick then reboot, or just press O to fix your registry. Anyway, if you flash it into flash0, there is no this kind of problem.

This should certainly help with the bricks/fear of bricking.

**dq9** · 06-04-2007, 04:00 PM

So do you need to load the .rco every time you start up your PSP or does it auto load?

**|-Anubis-|** · 06-04-2007, 04:03 PM

^ I don't understand what you're asking

As long as the RCOs are placed in ms0:/TM/vsh/resource/, the plugin enabled in Recovery Mode, it will load automatically each time.

**NeilR** · 06-04-2007, 04:07 PM

An SCEP Theme controller.. makes sense considering the features we've already seen. Sweet!

**Maxi_Jac'** · 06-04-2007, 04:07 PM

Wow ! It's interesting ! Thanks Anubis for the info

**--DylanDangles--** · 06-04-2007, 04:45 PM

So its like an XMB devhook? Nice. Ive always wondered if this was possible.

**pgfreak** · 06-05-2007, 01:57 PM

is this the first of its kind!? ive been searching for a flashless XMB customizer!
what is the BSOD and is it harmful? what happens??

**|-Anubis-|** · 06-05-2007, 02:05 PM

BSOD - blue screen of death

Its nothing serious.

Just read the instructions and you'll be fine.

And yes its the first of its kind.

**pgfreak** · 06-05-2007, 02:08 PM

alright, so has anyone tried this with success?
and it would this be working on a 3.40oe ?

also, ive never tried to customize my xmb, but i;ve read that you need to change the icons or something if you have 3.40oe, is this true? or is there any place i can find the icons that are already converted?

**|-Anubis-|** · 06-05-2007, 02:14 PM

1. its for 3.40 OE
2. You don't need to change your icons if you have 3.40 OE.
3. Most theme packs have already been converted. Look in the PSP mods section for some theme packs.

**rogerfederer** · 06-05-2007, 02:16 PM

anyone tried it on 3.10?

off course without the topmenu_plugin

wow you and Adiuvo are really on top of everything.

so i have no experience with plugins..where do i put the vsh.txt and what not to activate it?

**|-Anubis-|** · 06-05-2007, 02:25 PM

vsh.txt should go in

x:/seplugins

Go to the Recovery Menu --> Plugins and enable it

And if you have all the files in the right place it should boot up normally.

...even if you're on 3.10?

**|-Anubis-|** · 06-05-2007, 02:35 PM

See for yourself.

I don't see why you can't try it yourself.

**parm289** · 06-05-2007, 03:06 PM

It works for 3.03 OE-C too.

**pgfreak** · 06-05-2007, 03:07 PM

how does the XMB look? like the icons?

and also, with this, can we still change backgrounds like we normally do?
and how is this uninstalled to get back to the normal icons?

**StuMcBill** · 06-05-2007, 04:14 PM

Anyone else having the problem that it runs the "Sony Computer Entertainment" startup screen even if you have disabled it in OE config!?

Other than that, TOP PLUGIN!!!!

Screenshot of my new un-flashed XMB!

**Maxi_Jac'** · 06-05-2007, 04:17 PM

If your flash1 is corrupted it might enable it automatically.

**StuMcBill** · 06-05-2007, 04:23 PM

I thought that, but when I disable the plugin it doesn't display?

**pgfreak** · 06-05-2007, 05:25 PM

in that forum, the xmb isnt even english
will it be english for us?

**Maxi_Jac'** · 06-05-2007, 05:30 PM

Text will be displayed in the language you selected.
Custom texts will only display in a specific language( but the maker can edit every language)

Hopper · 06-06-2007, 02:20 AM

Great app.

The only problem i'm having is the background is always white.
I don't get any waves or background image.
I've tried the supplied files and also the Deep Blue Space files linked by pgfreak.
Icons, intro, fonts, sounds all work properly.

Anyone else get this problem or know what the craic is?
