Black32 XMB Theme - encore 3

Posted Mar 2, 2007 at 9:17PM EST by QJ Staff

Listed in: Hacks & Exploits Tags: psp exploits, psp hacks, Verbatim, XMB, xploren

Xploren's back with another reminder for us and the QJ-reading public. He said that there's a new version of their Black32 XMB Theme for people to try out, and it's added some more content that'll match up with their existing theme creations.

According to Xploren, there's more than just a background and battery bar in this iteration. He mentions that there are matching bootwave, font, and XMB sounds to use for this new version, so it'll perfectly mesh with your icons and whatnot.

They do note two things in their readme, however, which we will list verbatim. Remember these when you're installing these apps, alright?

This will work on all OE firmwares, EXCEPT 3.10 OE.
This XMB mod collection, along with all other collections and mods, can render your PSP useless by bricking it. INSTALL THIS THEME AT YOUR OWN RISK.

what is it in this awesome theme that always kills the ps1 games from loading up. I had it loading games earlier today and now they don't. I aint mad or anything I have recovery folder in there all the time so I can go back to default 3.03oe-c anytime I want but still, the guy who made this needs to test this out

# PS1 Emulator is gone! — Guest 2007-03-03 01:22

As somebody said: I love this but the ps1 emulation is not working after this mod!

# same in german — Guest 2007-03-03 01:23

In german there is no "JA" and "NEIN" too.

# an just to fit in... — DCJoeDog 2007-03-03 01:26

spanish

si - yes

and...erm

no + no

# psx — Guest 2007-03-03 01:32

True, my not working right, it wont load psx games

# memo loss:S — Guest 2007-03-03 02:03

WTF it say my flash is full:(

on a fresh upgraded psp:(

love this mod and i would it to work:(

# ms:flash0 — digitalkid 2007-03-03 02:23

Use FlashAgentF4 to clear out the uneeded font files.. u should have avout 2.5mb of space free'd up

# aye, get er freed — MickMog 2007-03-03 02:49

its useless files its dummying anyhow so u DO need it back! FREE THE FOCKER!!

# not perfect yet — Guest 2007-03-03 02:55

when he changed the opening_plugin.rco he forgot that thats wut makes the ps1 games strt up. to get the bootwave u wanted the ps1 emu had to leave...that was too big of a sacrafice for me. so i jus used the default one from sony but the letters PSP TM logo is gone. please fix these problems!

# change the gameboot logo — Guest 2007-03-03 03:06

To get the Ps1 games to work, me need to get rid of the gameboot logo. What I am saying is that it runs homebrew games, and thats it. Whats stopping it from running psx games is the logo. Is there a way to get rid of it?

# This is making me mad! — Guest 2007-03-03 05:14

I want this to be able to be on 3.10OE! This is pissing me off!

# about everyones ps1 problem — Guest 2007-03-03 05:42

a modified opening_plugin.rco is what screws with popstation, although i don't know if its modified here.

# Gameboot? — Guest 2007-03-03 06:10

anyone got the gameboot to work?

# Nice... — bonzai10 2007-03-03 07:24

I downgraded to 3.03 OE-C to get that theme and it was worth! The downgrade itself is soo easy - put data.dxar and eboot.pbp to \psp\game\recov ery and run it under recovery menu - that is all about the downgade. After 3 minutes i had my ol' 3.03 OE-C. The USB flash0 toggle is cool feature and if i brick my psp i can recover it within minutes, now modding psp is safe if you are on OE firmware.

Theme itself is very slick and vista look but hey vista does look good doesn't it ?

# AGAIN.... — Guest 2007-03-03 07:25

Jesus Christ... okay, I keep forgetting to put these things in the readme.

EVERY THEME REGARDING A MODDED OPENING_PLUGIN.RCO WILL DISABLE PSX GAMES. DO NOT INSTALL THE OPENING_PLUGIN.RCO UNLESS YOU DO NOT WANT OR NEED PSX GAMES.

Note that I said EVERY THEME REGARDING A MODDED OPENING_PLUGIN.RCO. Yes, EVERY theme. Brand that into your head for future releases.

AND NO, THE GAMEBOOT IS ILLEGAL TO DISTRIBUTE AND IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE PACKAGE.

# You guys are all crazy — raziel_leonhart 2007-03-03 07:44

I have the black theme and the only thing that i lost was my boot saying PSP when i load a game. Other than that i love it

# That's why... — bonzai10 2007-03-03 07:44

You have to BACK UP all YOU DATA before performing any changes!!!! BACK UP!! Is it hard to remember ? I backed up all resource folder to make sure everything can be recovered - anything you do to your data - any data back it up!!

# It's called De-Branding — Kichigai 2007-03-03 07:47

The missing PSP%u2122 thing is intentional. It's called "Debranding" the Gameboot.

# custom themes works with dev hook — Guest 2007-03-03 08:18

if you dont want to update to 3 oe or w.e they have now all you have to do is put the files in the dh folder an then vsh then resource just like a custom firmware cause im running 2.71 still and when i want to check out the Black32 XMB Theme - encore 3 all i do is use the dev hook and emulate 302 and BAM with out the risk of bricking or psp this is for those user that dont want to update cause they dont know how like me

# Memory Issue? — Guest 2007-03-03 08:49

*************** *************** ****

im trying to over-write some of the larger files like the system_plugin.rco for the sound, but it says i dont have enough room on my memory.. but i have about 230 mb available. can someone explain to me how this is..? thanks! *************** *************** ****

# thanks — DCJoeDog 2007-03-03 09:02

that did it, I put my backed up OPENING_PLUGIN.RCO and ps1 emulation is working again

# missing icons — DCJoeDog 2007-03-03 09:08

I am missing the icons for save data utility and psp update ver x.xx both in the game section of the XMB

# more missing icons — DCJoeDog 2007-03-03 09:10

I am also missing, under network section location free icon and internet browser icon

just bringing it to your attention

# Because — bonzai10 2007-03-03 09:23

You are on flash0 space and it has total capacity of 23 MB, i had similar issues and it means you can't load all custom menus or sounds at one time. You have to decide or adjust which custom part will be better and what you don't need. Unless you are doing it like adam said by using devhook.

# chance... — Guest 2007-03-03 09:37

any chance of someone showing this off on youtube? or something?

# Black Font? — Guest 2007-03-03 09:56

Did this person find a way to change the infowindow and font?

# Works ok — Guest 2007-03-03 11:42

Works 100 %!!

U just dont understand english, so u dont get it how to install this?

# flash agent — Guest 2007-03-03 12:37

use flash agent F4 to free up about 2.5 MB of flash0 space. All it does is delete some dummy files the PSP doesn't need.

# white wallpaper?!? — Guest 2007-03-03 12:45

why I have a white wallpaper??

the included 01-12.bmp doesn't run..

i've 3.03OE-C

# same prob — Guest 2007-03-03 13:30

i have the same prob

# Problem ^ — Guest 2007-03-03 14:32

Go to 'themes' in PSP Settings and set the theme to default. All the rest are white.

# can i... — RoMLesS 2007-03-03 16:11

im on 3.10oe-a and i was wondering if u can use the newest devhook on 3.10 to emulate 3.03? in order to use this black theme XMB?

# Awesome — Guest 2007-03-03 17:33

This theme is awesome

# -- — Guest 2007-03-03 18:05

you have 230 mb on your memory card. not your flash, which is what your installing it on. use flashagent f4 to free up 2.5 mb

# -.-' — Guest 2007-03-04 02:42

No, Downgrade back down to 3.03 OE-C

# To "chill" — Guest 2007-03-04 02:50

Read: "This will work on all OE firmwares, EXCEPT 3.10 OE."

# problems — Guest 2007-03-04 16:25

sometimes i select things like the web browser, or saved games, or battery information and it shows it loading but then it freezes and turns off. i can load umds and stuff. i cant even load the rss tab. can someone explain to me why?

# Awesome — Guest 2007-03-05 11:45

nice theme , really cool

Ive bricked my psp twice now, once with this, and saved it both times with psp/game/recovery and updated back up to 3.03 OE-C outstanding I say

# totally correct — Guest 2007-03-05 13:19

anytime i've changed my opening_plugin.rco it's disabled my pops... it's too bad, cause i hate that stupid sony opening sound!! so i disabled it. ^_^

# qtqt — Guest 2007-03-05 14:56

i love this *****...too bad 3.10OE dont suppoort it cause its encrypted and that it messes up your PSX emulation

# 3.11 — Guest 2007-03-05 17:41
