For starters, use the Lite version. This tutorial is for cxmb lite version (3.71, 3.80 & 3.90)

Download & extract cxmb 3.1 first


Copy the cxmb folder (for lite version) to the root of memory stick:


Go to memory stick and find a 'seplugins' folder. If it is not there, create it. Inside that folder there should be a file named 'vsh.txt.' Again, create it (using notepad) if it does not exist.


Insert new line to the 'vsh.txt' to 'point' to the cxmb.prx plugin as noted. It does not matter if the initial vsh.txt is empty. I have a few plugins installed so that's why my vsh.txt has 2-3 lines.


Turn off the PSP (hold the switch for a few seconds even after the screen turns black, to ensure that it is really in 'off' mode not 'standby mode'), and then enter the recovery mode by holding the power button and R button until the recovery menu is shown. Activate cxmb plugin and then exit the recovery menu.


Download .ctf themes from here (must use themes same as firmware version) and put into
/PSP/THEME/ folder


Activate your new theme from the PSP theme browser:

System -> Theme Settings -> Theme -> choose and activate. The PSP will reboot every time a new theme is applied.



edit: updated links for cxmb 3.1 (now compatible with 3.80 as well)

Nice guide but i cant find anything insde my plugins hmm...follow totally wat u said alredi.

Sorry it should be 'seplugins' folder not 'seplugin'. Maybe you didnt pasted the cxmb prx file/folder properly. The right path/structure is:

memory stick -> cxmb (folder) -> cxmb.prx (file)

Yea its correct,but i cant see cxmb.prx inside my recovery menu under plugins...onli hav irshell,caputre and popsloader.prx >.<"

wow. the tutorial vorchiel did is simple enough. nice tutorial... hope this helps.....

CXMB 3.1 has been released

seems like cxmb will hang after I turn back on to play games if I put my psp in sleep mode before...anybody having same problem....? for my solution I just shut it down completely after using it, so no more sleep mode la...

hey, do any1 know where to find bootsound for 3.90m33-2??

can this cxmb work on v3.8?

I dont have this problem. I'm using cxmb 3.1 on 3.71 M-4
usual place like consolespot or endlessparadigm

The new version (3.1) supports 3.8

just install my cxmb. currently only prefer using two ctf, organ and inacorMCE... at first, couldnt initiate the plugin, after exchanging to cxmb 3.1, then can see ctf files in theme setting mode...

but i think i wanna switch back to my flash0 ones... its much safer... cxmb theme always crahs, esspecially new ones and those big files ones...

reshot my psp skins with much better light setup...

the current XMB theme im using

thats "original large" xmb right?

thx vorchiel for a simple guide but easy to understand.. after use this cxmb i cannot revert to original themes. everytime applied back for original but nothing happen still custom xmb remain.

do u have disable back the cxmb plugin on recovery menu?...if u don't that's why its still cxmb theme...
