What's The Difference Between .PTF and .CTF Theme? 

The Differences

Maybe you've been to some sites and are confuse why are there different layouts on some of the themes. There are basically 2 types of themes that I know of. .PTF and .CTF



Can you see the difference? The left one is the .PTF and the right one is .CTF.

PTF will only change your icon and wallpaper and it does not need custom firmware whereas CTF needs it. As you can see, CTF is a very interactive theme because it changes the whole layout of the PSP including the PSP startup.

I've tried changing my themes a lot of times and never had a brick before. My findings of CTF themes are 100% unbrickable. Though I do not promise that it'll will not happen to yours.

Install CTF Themes On Your PSP 

In case you didn't know, now you can have custom themes without flashing. The steps are exactly the same as when you're installing CTF themes only that you need to download an additional plugin.

Download the plugin here and extract the file and place it into your memory card root "MS0:/" After you have downloaded your .CTF theme, place it under MS0:/PSP/Theme.

Now you need to enable CXMB (the plugin) in your PSP *Recovery Mode. After enabling the plugin, restart your PSP, go to Settings -> Theme then apply your desired theme.

*Recovery Mode - Hold R1 when turning on your PSP after it has been fully switched off.

    Hi Joe! Maybe because your themes is not for 5.00 m33-6. You should try PSP themes for 5.00 m33-6 on google.
