Black32 XMB theme - encore 2

Xploren's just dropped us a line saying that the black32 XMB theme has been updated to encore 2. This version now includes a custom opening logo and a spiffy new gameboot logo. Xploren also says that more updates are on the way, so keep checking back here on QJ or on the QJ forums for the latest.

Black32 is a collection of custom XMB themes. It includes a custom background, volume bar, battery icons, and a lot more. Here's a short list of the people who've contributed to black32: innercy (icons), Hooverphonic (MaDSouL) (volume and battery icons), [Unknown] (loading circle), BearColin (original background). The wave as well as the opening and gameboot logos were done by xploren.

This theme will work on all OE firmwares with the exception of 3.10 OE. Remember, read the included readme file closely before you install this theme. If you have suggestions or bug reports, head on over to the QJ forums by clicking on the forum link below.

This is my favorite theme so far. I had the original version installed and cannot wait to get the new custom gameboot and startup. I also like that thin wave. Goes really nice with the background.

However, i have the 1-12.bmp from the "custom psp theme packs" with the background fading from blue > black + the black ps3 wave and it looks nooooooooice!!

# Gameboot doesnt work? — Guest 2007-02-27 22:58

I reflashed everything to get the custom startup and gameboot and everything works fine except the gameboot. It just gives me a completely blank (white) screen. Anyone know of a fix? Also, the gameboot i really want is the one from the prince of persia but for some reason i cannot find it. If anyone could point me to a link for it i'd appreciate it.

Other than that gameboot problem, the theme is just beautiful. Keep up the great work everyone who contributed.

# Does this work on DevHook? — Guest 2007-02-27 23:02

I'm running 3.11 on devhook and i replaced all the stuff in my vsh\resource\ folder and everything works fine but the icons, loading icons works....battery works....but the GameSharing,Sav eddata and other icons aren't working they're showing up as white blocks...anyone know how to fix this?

# charlie — Guest 2007-02-27 23:18

well as it mentions, it doesn't work with 3.10 OE so why would it work when emulating 3.11? Try emulating 3.03 and see if they're still white blocks...

# Thanks. — Guest 2007-02-27 23:54

Yeah, dunno what the hell i was thinking O_o it works on the emulated 3.03 FW, on 3.11 it'll show a background and it'll have white icons. anyways thanks for responding because i probably would have never thought of putting 3.03 back on and testing it.

# help — Guest 2007-02-28 00:12

I replaced everything and at start, it shows the word "resurreccion" and not Sony. Thats ok, but when i start a game i see my gameboot with this word behind "resurrection" and it sux, anyone can help me???

# :S — Guest 2007-02-28 00:45

How to replace the original opening_plugin.rco, i didnt save this file before change, plz help, where to download

# gameboot not working — Guest 2007-02-28 00:49

I cannot get the gameboot to work with these waveforms. I can use all of the plugins from this theme EXCEPT the waveforms and gameboots will still work. Why is this?

# kuku — Guest 2007-02-28 01:07

you need to dump a firmware (3.03 for example) using pbp unpacker and psar dump, then you can get the opening_plugin.rco file from there

# Psp Owner — Guest 2007-02-28 02:58

why flash soft do you guys used i am on fw 3.03 OE

# PSP Slowdown — Guest 2007-02-28 04:20

Has anyone noticed a significant performance slow-down with the installation of this? I installed the original one and noticed MAJOR slowage. Any ideas?

# hmm — Guest 2007-02-28 04:25

in the README file or on the site say that work whit will work on all OE firmwares with the exception of 3.10 OE an wry say that work

this do not work on 3.10 OE

# hmmm — Guest 2007-02-28 04:35

ok first off i used a number of diffrent apps to flash my psp (x-flash,flash agent,pspset).but none of them would let me use the new or the old black installer custom background,it would show up as a pure white background with flash agent, and x-flash and pspset wouldnt even let me flash it.so after a while i figured out that if i upgraded from 303 oeb to 303 oe c i could now connect my psp flash o to my pc through usb and directly flash files to flash o with out the need for any third person apps(x-flash.exct),but im still getting a pure white background when i flash the black installer background. i have spent a lot of time looking in to it and had to recover my psp 2 times so far through experimenting.people have allready sucsecfully flashed this background so my question is WHY CANT I DO IT?

...........PSP RULES..........

# try — Guest 2007-02-28 04:43

try useing FlashAgentF4 all files have been flashed and working fine. and u may ask why u see a white background jus go to the theme section in your psp and change it

# Dream — Guest 2007-02-28 04:59

I hope DAX, Fanjita, Art, 0okm, or someone else hacks the 3.10+ RCO fast! I want this slick XMB... But I also want Internet Borwser compression... T_T

# missing icons — Guest 2007-02-28 05:27

still missing 3 icons

# lol — Guest 2007-02-28 05:45

why cant they hack the 310 encrypted icon system ??

is it that hard..?

hmm lets not hope sony continues with this

# downgrade? — Guest 2007-02-28 05:46

how do you downgrade from 3.10oe to 3.03oe?

# web — Guest 2007-02-28 06:01

total rip off

here is the real website that made that

http://www.bcgp.org/foro/viewtopic.php?t=42997

# this is how — Guest 2007-02-28 07:36

first you need to look for recovery files or installer for 303 oe psp, the one iv got is called recovery 22. i cant remember where i found it,just try google.

when youve got them installed on your psp then you can attempt a recovery,power off your psp,now keep R(trigger) held down and power on the psp,you should get a recovery screen,from there scroll down and press x on run program at/psp/game/recovery/eboot.pbp

i dont know if you need to remove any custom xmb stuff first if youve got any installed on your psp.

warning iv only used this on 303 oec but iv also used it on 303 oe b and no problems, i think it will work on 310 oe but im not programer so i know jack *****.

.............psp rule.............

# Homebrew doesn´t work... — Guest 2007-02-28 10:24

# PSX emu don't work — Guest 2007-02-28 10:42

PSX games no longer work for me with this theme.

# ehh.. — Guest 2007-02-28 11:20

most of us using latest 3.10OE..

so I feel a bit pointlessness here

# You do it? — Guest 2007-02-28 11:45

Then why don't you do it if it's so easy? I doubt it's their first priority to get some custom icons working.

# ... — Guest 2007-02-28 11:51

And the features in PSX.

# ff — Guest 2007-02-28 12:35

no i dont think so,

every one i know is still on 3.03OE-C

hell i downgraded because of the xmb customizations...

this is not pointless,

enless they crack the next newiest top_menu plugin then i will be on 3.03OE-C

# it should work — Guest 2007-02-28 13:05

but try to use 3.03 instead in devhook.

# bugs — Guest 2007-02-28 13:08

there have to be major bugs in this theme b/c everytime i exit from a game or ps1 game it freezes at the black screen and then the psp turns off....fix this problem plz!

# PSX Not Working ... — Dartan 2007-02-28 15:13

PSX games will stop working if you change the Opening Boot file/screen (not the game boot). So just put back the original Opening and your PSx games should work again.

# I like 3.10 but am dying to get a hold of this... — Guest 2007-02-28 16:53

I love the conserve memory in the browser, the updated POPS and stuff, plus a very special program given to me to test that I need the firmware for, so I can't just leave my precious 3.10... but I WANT this theme! Will it EVER be possible!?

# Debrand it. — Guest 2007-02-28 16:56

Use something like X-Flash and apply the debrand gameboot effect. That will remove the PSP logo hopefully. (if thats what you mean)

# 3.03 Original FW — Guest 2007-03-03 04:42

hi i have original 3.03fw if i upgrade to original 3.10 fw will it wrk? im a noob lol plz help..

# Nah, it won't work. — Guest 2007-03-03 06:45

You just need to downgrade to 1.5, upgrade to 1.53 and then use devhook to emulate 3.03. if you don't brick it there is no chance of bricking it after you emulate 3.03 and try to add the custom xmb. and no this will not work on 3.10 fw

# missing waves — Guest 2007-03-03 08:48

hi! i have a 3.03oec psp and i have installed the ultimate black xmb but the plasma waves arent appearing. can somebody please help me or send me some sorta link that has the working waves!!! thx very much (my email is manvirkingra@ho tmail.com)
