ThemePSP


It must be a night for big homebrew releases! First DevHook was updated, then Sonic Battle Arena, and now this! SodR has updated his ThemePSP homebrew flashing tool for the PSP to version 1.2, adding a great-looking GUI, DevHook support and much much more! ThemePSP was made for those that are unsure how to install themes, and provides an easy GUI in order for you to do just that without knowing any of the technicalities.

Even the biggest PSP newbie on earth could use this to customize his PSP! All you have to do is either create a theme using SodR's easy to follow instructions in the ThemePSP creator pack, or alternatively download a pre-made theme from the official ThemePSP theme thread. Then install the correct files in the correct place on your memory stick, and choose a theme to install using the actual program on your PSP! Here's the full changelog according to the ThemePSP readme:
  • New nicer GUI!
  • Options screen now added! You can now complete choose if you just want to install eg. the font and the BG of a theme
  • Ability to 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 different standard between the fw's)
  • Removed the bundled 'GTA style Theme' to reduce the file size
  • If you try to install a theme 4 times in a row the program will automaticlly quit instead of freeze (the freezing was caused by an unknown bug)
  • Updated ThemePSP Creator Pack with the correct image resolution (300x170 pxl)

ThemePSP screens - Image 1 ThemePSP screens - Image 2 


The best part of this release for me is the ability to flash a theme to a DevHook firmware, allowing you to use it with complete piece of mind. When flashing to a DevHook, theme, you cannot brick your PSP! If you want to pimp your PSP, download this now.

It says we need to resize each image to 300 X 170 pixels, but it actually just messes up the picture and distorts it.

 » hmm

you dont really need this to get it to work in devhook. All you need to do is cut and paste in the right dh folder (fonts) etc. Still looks interesting though.

 » Unknown bug!?

Unknown bug!? Holy crap! I hope nobody actually uses this thing for real firmware or anything else that matters. If a bug that crashes the installer can't be found, and must be worked around instead, I'd definitely not trust it with my expensive gaming unit.

 » YOU KNOW WHAT?

I'm begining to see flames again... about how poor job people did.... well I say kiss their a**... why dont you go do something for us instead of Yawning #7 kurt you ungrateful loser... you guys been seeing too much "big" updates that you start to flame on everything else thats not "as big as custom firmware or devhook".... have you forgot how bored we ALL were when devs were not releasing updates to ANYTHING and QJ was covered with official psp game releases??? now you guys forgot that already and go back to flaming everyone? you can just stfu and go along, im grateful for ANYTHING the psp scene devs can offer... the hell with big or little... atleast they are doing something for you, you deserve to just be banned from ANY psp stuff for a few week and see how bored you get .. then you'll be begging for some psp update stuff!
I know there aren't that many of you flamers out there but just stop...is annoying to see ungrateful posts like yours

I think is great that i can mod Devhook files, now i dotn have to mod my 1.5 then dump the file, or manually put the modfiles in the right place.. thanks!

 » Solution to most ways to brick, and quit your whining!

If you want your PSP to be "unbricked" in the case of it bricking due to the visual modifications that these types of brew can do, then use acustom firmware. As long as you have your major PRX files on your PSP you can still use the recovery mode of the custom FW, and there aren't many (if any) things out there that will make your PSP so you can't unbrick it, as most apps don't mess with major PRX files. So if your worried, use the custom firmware so if you do brick your PSP you can undo your mistakes. I also agree with #11, don't whine about stuff people are working on for YOU, if you're going to whine and sniffle then go upgrade to 2.71 and just play PSP games, so no more waiting (unless it's a new release) or buggy applications, the games aren't free, but the stuff these people are working on are. Just be grateful even for the most basic LUA game, because someone worked on it for you.

The link in the readme won't work for me. It's the one for the custom boot sound. It won't take me to the stupid guide, and I can't find it either.

- Why would anyone want to install a theme 4 times (unless they have short term memory loss)

i suppose they may reinstall a theme 4 times if they have short term memory loss.

people suffering from short term memory loss must install 4 times in a row!!




(sorry for the bad joke) lol

 » I messed with themePSP and now I have a brick.

Don't use tPSP 1.1 skins with tPSP 1.2! It bricked my jap PSP and sony says they'll only reflash(or service in any way) north american PSP systems!
I'm gonna find someone who will reflash this, and i'm saving up for an MFM or UP so I don't brick myself again.
