PSP-Hacks Custom PSP Theme Challenge *Updated*


I didn't know this, but awhile back patpat released a new version of CXMB that is compatible with 6.35 PRO. So with that said, and to keep things a little active, we're going to have a PSP theme-off!

We invite you to join for two reasons: 1) As a theme developer you get mad Internet cred from all the newfound 6.20/6.35 hackers who would no doubt enjoy theming out their PSP or PSPgo, and 2) You could win $200.

Cool? All right, here are the Custom PSP Theme guidelines:

  • You have one week to craft a new custom PSP CTF theme, which is to be compatible with CXMB for 6.20 TN and 6.35 PRO.
  • Two versions of your theme are expected: 1) a CTF 6.20 TN-compatible version, and 2) a CTF 6.35 PRO version. Though it doesn't hurt to include compatible versions for GEN and M33 firmwares.
  • You cannot take an existing theme and adapt it to 6.20 TN/6.35 PRO. New theme creations only.
  • The submission deadline is February 25 at 12:00 am. EST.
  • Submit your theme to gimme-that-ctf-money@psp-hacks.com
  • Contest specific questions? Email the above address too.

We'll start with that and on the 25th we'll confirm the number of contestants and their status, which will determine whether or not we immediately move forward to public voting, or we extend the contest to allow theme developers a little more time. Public voting will happen in the forums. I'll of course keep you updated should anything change.

Not a theme developer, but you're resourceful, a quick learner and you're interested? Then click here for our Custom Theme Knowledge Base to get started.

And for some inspiration -- patpat's The 3rd Birthday:

PSP Theme: The 3rd Birthday

Update: After a couple emails from theme devs we've decided to extend the deadline to February 25. That should give ample time to create one badass theme.

Update: This has been cancelled due to lack of entries (1). Sorry, folks.

SWEEETTTT its about time ive been trying to get these themes to work

Is it signed?

stop talking shit noob it's a theme a ctf theme no need to signstupid noobs grab a dictionary before posting

I'm not a noob, thank you very much. I was just wondering if it is signed, okay. Thank You :}

well first..@antinoob, ... wow.. whats with the hate...@to-lazy-to-scroll-up-and-see-your-name...No you don't need to sign CTF themes. you only need to sign executable programs for the psp. CTF themes are just a bunch of psp resources thrown into a single file, like an archive (think zip "folder"). However it isn't possible for an unmodified OFW to load and apply a CTF theme.

Great, we should see some nice themes in this challenge..

I hope they compatible versions for GEN too :-)

nah.. darn.

can this brick your psp?

@antinoobs - Obviously this person is refering to CXMB....soooo....don't be so retarded. Think before you postNo...cxmb is not signed. it will take a signed CFW in order to load these natively without the aid of some type of Homebrew enabler. Sorry kiddo.

Thanks, just wanted to know. If this doesn't write to flash, then were does it save the them, unless it uses the RAM

Antinoob ,,, you should learn how to post before posting and learn to be mannered retarded kid

can this brick your psp ps if it helps my psp 2000 6.35 pro

can this brick your psp cause i dont want it to brick

This can't brick your psp since it doesn't write to your flash.

havent experienced bricking my psp2000 with a cxmb, the cxmb just wont work if the prx is turned off. with bricking? i think not.

so theres a chance of bricking it???

read me>?how the heck do i get this to load on my pspgo...

just copy the cxmb prx file to plugins on your psp and put the theme on the theme folder go on a umd and exit and go to themes and put it and bam you got CXMB

Copy is to?Root or any folder

My partner and I stumbled over here by a different web page and thought I might as well check things out. I like what I see so now i'm following you. Look forward to exploring your web page for a second time.

Ohh oh oh $200.00 US money here I come(;I need something like that:p

Who wants to lick my butt?

Me puhlease

You are gay

can't wait for new themes

How quickly a thread can go to $hit. First of all to those who are obviously new to this CXMB is a plugin that allows you to install custom themes without having to touch your PSPs flash memory. Now since it allows you to install themes this way there is NO CHANCE of bricking your PSP using it. If you need more help on how to install the CXMB plugin look through the forums on this site as well as other PSP sites. It would be nice one day to come here and the threads were filled with nothing but useful info and people just trying to help each other out not the BS that I am reading here. If you don't have the ability to help someone out that has a question do us all a favor and don't respond, we were all new at this at some point so get off of your high horse and extend a helping hand.

no

oops i meant to say to all my n00b subjectsno this will not brick psp'sso don't ask

can this brick my nintendo ds i dont want to brick it

Ah yes, theme challengeI've been wanting a new theme for a loooooooong timeHere's to hoping creative minds make epic themes :D!5.50 Gen-D3 user here btw

Can this come to your house and steal your PSP and your Kids Chocolate Milk? Or do you just wait...Nah kidding, I just got a PSPgo so...When I put the Plugins, is it ms0:/ or ef0:/ Im sorry im a Noob, Im just new to all this

Jesus fucking christ people, jesus, fucking, christ.1. THIS IS NOT SIGNED OR ANYTHING ELSE BECAUSE IT IS PART OF A PLUGIN YOU USE WHEN YOU ALREADY HAVE 6.35/6.20 HEN INSTALLED2. THIS CANNOT BRICK YOUR FUCKING PSP NO MATTER WHAT THE FUCK YOU DO TO IT.3. EVEN IF YOU USE THE WRONG VERSION OF THE THEME (e.g you have 6.35 PRO and you accidentally download the 5.50 GEN version and put it in your themes folder, and activate it, you CANNOT brick it at all) BRICKING IS IMPOSSIBLE4. SAME GOES IF YOU USE A WRONG CXMB VERSION (e.g you have 6.20 TN-B but you download 5.50 GEN CXMB and you enable it in plugins and all that, then just restart your psp, re-enable HEN, and it just won't work, it won't brick or anything)5. Read before you post dumb questions like "CAN DIS BRICK ME PSP 2000?", it's not even about a CFW/HEN/Kernel/HBL exploit, it's a goddamn CUSTOM XrossMediaBar aka Custom Themes.

so, it can't brick my psp then?

Hahaaaa a little harsh, but they got the point. Anyway I might give this a shot. I know I wont win because it would be my first theme creation. I hope everyone likes bleach =D

Back again, I cant find the ummm.....the decrypted 6.35prx's I want to make sure it works with that verison first

Hi! I've been following your site for some time now and finally got the bravery to go ahead and give you a shout out from Porter Texas! Just wanted to tell you keep up the fantastic job!

@icei freakin lol'd when i read that

Awesome!Really, really good idea guys!Can't wait for a fresh theme for my 6.20 TN PSP Go.

Hopefully some sick 6.20 themes will come out of this :D
