After releasing version 1.8 of the homebrew application FreeRadio, FreePlay released another program that should help out owners of the Sony PlayStation Portable who like to tinker with their handheld's themes.

Called CTF Unpacker, this basically unpacks the plain PTF to a single file. It then saves patch-only PRXs to the "patch-only" folder. For those who are interested to use this, FreePlay provided the following notes:

• Windows users can click+drag a CTF theme file onto the program to unpack it, or run the program from the command prompt.
• Linux users, just run "./ctfunpacker ". Make sure you have permissions for
• making files/dirs in the working directory.
• Note: PAF.PRX, COMMON_GUI.PRX, and VSHMAIN.PRX are really only be patches used to patch the files in memory; they're not complete files.

To avid having problems during usage, just take a look at the Readme.txt file that comes with the download package below. It should provide you with some necessary information.
