Remember undertaxxx? Well, if you you could recall those XMB battery edits that you've grown so fond of, then you probably have heard of this guy because he is the creator of those mods. Anyhow, going through our forums, we were informed that he has concocted another way to pimp your PSP's XMB - the "ultimate" black PSP XMB. Check out the screens we got here:

Black XMB - Image 1 Black XMB - Image 2

Anyhow, undertaxxx mentioned that this was originally made by Sérgio Catumba and Innercy, but he decided to re-style everything on the XMB so that it would look perfect with the high-res icons. The package includes the following:

  • 32 bits High-Res Black Icons
  • 32 bits High-Res Battery Icon
  • 32 bits High-Res Volume bar
  • 32 Bits month background + Bogus Waves
  • 32 Bits High Res Load Icon (game, savedata, photo & corrupt)
  • 32 bits High Res Load Circle (Right Corner thing)
  • Xmb line, Shadow, Selectbar  customized to Black/Cromé
  • All other thats included and i forgot
He also mentions that this slick-looking XMB isn't gonna work on Dark_AleX's 3.10 OE. With all that said, the download link below contains the zip files for the Devianart icons noir black styled and the black glass photo load icon.

I read in another forum that it works in 3.10OE if you just don't install the topmenu_plugin.rco

Why not just downgrade to 3.03 OE-C?

That's what I ended up doing last week. I decided it was awesome to be able to customise my XMB and there are really no downsides to downgrading. There is a plugin to have 3.10 POPS on the 3.03 OE-C and the only other feature in 3.10 OE is a little thing in the web browser to make pages load a little faster. So downgrade today!!! It's worth it.

i had the same problem so im downgrading back to 1.50 then to 3.03OC-C :) i can help if you need it

ya commyostrich there is NOT a plugin for 3.03 OE-C to run 3.10 P.O.P.S on it you must be mistaken for the plugin that runs ANY POPS on 3.10 if you downgrade to 3.03 OE-C you lose 3.10 POPS and gain topmenu_plugin.rco whoopdey friggin doo

 » ^YOU UP THERE

WOW, 3.10 POPS! WOOOOO!!! Some people don't play PSX at all, and some people don't have any problems with the 3.03 and 3.02 POPS.

Above 2 replies, who cares if your flash has more space taken up? Wow, its less than 1mb total for me, and I still have more than 1mb free. Who cares if its full? Its not going to explode open

 » 2 questions...

i just wanna ask if this application is just a stand-alone meaning that it doesnt need other programs to run it and is it possible to change back to the original-factory XMB settings(when bought XMB). AND is it available for 1.50's cause i dont have O-E's and wont have it....


   Re: Snarg (Unregistered) - 2007-02-23

If you're willing to flash something like this to your PSP, why wouldn't you be willing to flash the custom firmware?

And no I wouldn't use this on a 1.5, you will brick it.

 » i wont flash...

you wont flash a firmware yet you'll flash an enourmos xmb pack ( you have to free space in your mobo in order to use this ) your just flat out dumb...OE lets you recover from bricking yet you dont upgrade and are willing to brick, just dumb...

I've never flashed anything to change XMB before, but now I want this! It looks awesome, I'm running 3.10 oe-a. Could someone please post instructions or a tutorial of some sort.

Dont even try to sorry, you'll brick it for shure on 3.10oe. Go to your recovery menu, start eboot to go back to 1.50 then instal 3.03oes... believe me its worth it! :D

sorry, but what can i do when i become a message that not enough space is free? same while flashing 1-12.bmp (file to big). really sorry.. semi-noob ;)

Use Flash agent v3 to free up 2.5 mb of space (at start up of program: "relink dummy files...")

   Re: duh (Unregistered) - 2007-02-24
 » psh

if you're running 3.03 OE-C.. you could just get rid of the web browser by going into recovery mode and go to advanced then toggle usb flash0.. then get rid of the files in the resources under vsh i think it is.. and delete all the ones that start with "html".. that worked for me

these icons have been floating around the forums for at least a week. ppl, if ur so dedicated to pspupdates go to the forums urself and explore. and whoever wrote this blog, visit more often, plz. ur a freakin member of the network already.

   by Chw42 - 2007-02-23
 » btw

for them saying it wont work on 3.10 OEA is stupid. only the icons wont work. 3.10 OEA does not support a decrypted topmenu_plugin.rco (icon files). everything else will work. so flash away ppls. again bloggers get all the facts straight.
