Hi guys,

I recently found my old PSP and thought I start gaming on it again to relive memories.

I was wondering, I had installed a custom theme previously but I wish to preserve it while I get the latest CFW (ARK-4?).

Any ideas?

I am on 3.80 M33.

Did you check if you still have the theme's files on your memory stick? If so you could just back them up from there and call it a day. Otherwise enter recovery mode on your CFW (should be holding right shoulder button while powering it on), enable USB mode, and copy every file from Flash0 and Flash1 and somewhere in there will be the theme's files.
Once it's on a PC it should be fairly easy to find by looking for the image files.

I tried copying out from Flash1 VSH theme custom_theme.dat file and renamed it to ptf extension.

Any ideas how to confirm it is the correct them?

Because the wallpaper doesn't look correct.

    VR had the chance to integrate with existing games and tech but VR companies said "NO, I WANT MY SHIT TO BE STANDALONE AND MY GAMES EXCLUSIVE TO FACEBOOK"

    Back when Oculus Rift was still starting out and being demoed around, they modded existing games to use it as a 360° immersive screen thing and that was AMAZING.

    The tech isn't there for affordable power enough VR headsets at a good market value yet sadly, oculus had a good idea but didn't have enough funds for marketing iirc

    But now it's "can I use my VR set with my racing games, that would be neat?" "ONLY IF YOU USE OUR DILDOSTICK CONTROLLERS AND RUN THE GAME ON OUR ANDROID-UNDERPOWERED BRICK"

    The tech to have quality VR goggles at an affordable price is here, but every set has to have 4 additional controllers and be standalone.

    These are the same type of gamers that spend $2,000 on a GPU when a $600 GPU gives nearly the same outcome which is what the market looks at for them to do spend more on unneeded bs

    If we're talking AAA titles a vr headset would be priced at nearly the same cost as a midrange gaming pc maybe even double

    I think they should bring back the shutter glasses for VR put 120Hz screen in for 60FPS and even a basic phone these days can pull that off

    Head tracking cameras and all

    How so?
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I liked the Ouya as a concept the implementation left much to be desired
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Pi kind of did it right
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Ouya did set the standard for android media consoles so I can give them that

  • Veho @ Veho:
    The Ouya kind of hinged on their game shop and the idea of mandatory free demos and shit. When that failed, the console flopped with it.
