'''Note:''' To create CTF, you will need to decrypt PRXs and RCOs into editable states (and convert your creation into CTF file). You can use program such as CTFtool GUI, which is specifically developed for CTF development, it can also convert Themes between different firmwares versions. | |||
===Additional notes=== | |||
* Remember each CTF theme is for a specific firmware (meaning a CTF build for 3.90 wouldn't work in 4.01m33). | |||
* Restore to original theme before you install CXMB. | |||
* You can't see official PTF theme in theme setting after you enabling CXMB. | |||
* After you apply a theme in XMB's theme setting, it will reboot PSP automatically. | |||
* Don't forget to edit the conf.txt before you convert a new traditional theme. | |||
* If the theme you specifics in conf.txt exist, it won't be override. | |||
* CXMB Lite version can only use ctf theme file. | |||
* It will take some time to build ctf file in XMB booting up after you install new traditional theme. | |||
* Remove/Replace the theme in use or plug out Memory Stick at XMB runtime might cause some font issue if your theme contains a custom font. | |||
