CXMB .ctf help

[soontobepspowner974]

i download a pack of themes 23 cant remember from where but some of the theme's when i go to videos or music freeze up and/or restart the psp was wondering if it is a common occurance with .ctf themes or if its something else one theme i had this problem with is potstation portable

[pspwonder]

its never happened to me before... try some of the themes from Free PSP Games download - CTF Themes if it happens again just go on youtube and search it up. or you could try reinstalling the cxmb stuff. theres over 280 themes there so theres bound to be one youd like!

I have experienced things like that in themes that have been poorly hexedited, but not often. I use potstation portable and I haven't had any such problem.

as i said i download it in a pack but i went and found the individual file and downloaded it and it works fine now so it has to be something with the theme pack i downloaded

You have to use themes that match your firmware.(new modules get added to the flash) You are on 5.50GEN which means you need to use the CXMB and ctf themes that were made for 5.50GEN. Try one from here that says 5.50GEN and tell me if it works:

Eight Patapons

use ctf tool gui to convert themes to 5.50

i know this is a little off the topic but i give up on premades im going to learn how to make my own

can i use it to make my own i just got in the mood to watch rocky horror picture show and wish to make my own theme of it now using various things form the movie i intend to make a gameboot with audio also

I got as far as making a ptf (time conusming finding pics other resources online)

[pspwonder]

I think you can create ctf themes on it but not gameboots you would have to make them yourself same with the start up video

[pspwonder]

well actually most of the stuff you would have to make yourself because i think it only puts the theme together to make a .ctf

[Twilight_Genesis]

To make a ctf you will have to hex edit rcos and prx modules that are normally loaded from flash0. After you have you hex edited rcos and prxs you can pack them into a .ctf theme. CXMB works by loading all those hexedited rcos and prxs in the ctf theme instead of flash0. Of course you will need a base ptf theme.
