[Updated] PS3Style+EXP CTF [v3.55] [6.60] (CFW, ME & PRO)

This CTF was originally created by Mr. Shizzy, using some resources from some other modders on the scene. I made a few modifications to it. Including creating a new opening_plugin.rco (the default one had a washed-out grey look to it when the PSP was booted. That's gone now. I also added a custom bootsound, gameboot (both of which were originally PSP stock), color changing battery icon (changes color based on the amount of battery life you have), changing the update from HEN Update to both ME and PRO Update, and a set of modded background colors by Paolok 95. Mr. Shizzy's original name for the CTF was PS3Style+ (the + indicates that different wallpapers can be used with it, Mr. Shizzy also made one called PS3Style, but you couldn't use wallpapers on it). My modded version is called PS3Style+EXP.

Here's what Mr. Shizzy wrote about it:
[spoiler][quote]Here is another .CTF I made for my own personal use, that I have now decided to share.

There is not much to explain here.. I shrunk the XMB down, so all columns fit on screen at once. Then added the PS3 wave and sparkles by patpat/Z33... That's it! Simple but sexy.

Then I made a second version of it. If you use the PS3 Style+ theme, then the wave/sparkles will show up over any pic you set as a wallpaper. ;)

I called it "PS3 Style", since it is not a all out PS3 theme, but it is still very similar. Enjoy!

The only problem I have always had with PS3Style.ctf is that it's laggy as heck when I use the PS3 wave on every PSP I have ever tried. -_-

Is this one laggy too?

Yeah I don't find it laggy at all. However, I think I read in one of your other posts that you don't tend to max out your CPU to 333/166. If I had to guess, that's why you're experiencing lag. One of several reasons why I own a couple of Sony Extended Life Batteries. :)

If you wanna test it out, just set your VSH CPU to 333/166. I doubt you'll experience any lag at all at that point.

*EDIT*

Oh, and if you don't have your CFW options set to "speed up memory stick" (at least on the VSH, if not always) that's probably another reason for the lag.

Yes, that is true that I never overclock my PSP above default (to save battery). I always have speed up ms enabled. ;)

I'll try the theme. If it lags on default then I probably won't continue using it (I really don't like overcloking. It shortens my battery life and makes my hands incredibly hot and sweaty because it generates more heat). Yeah, with the original PS3Style.ctf, if I did overclock my PSP it wouldn't lag so I'm guessing it'll be the same for this.

Also, moving to the PSP's Theme section. :arrow:

Edit:

Wow, surprisingly this theme is not lagging on default for me. The original does, but this one doesn't so I will use it after all. Thanks for modding this theme and somehow fixing the lag that once haunted this theme for me. ;)

Oops didn't even know there was a themes subforum!

And you're welcome! Glad that works out for you w/o any lag. Whatever I did during the modding process of the theme, def wasn't an intentional fix lol. I really wasn't even aware that the original had lag issues, as I always overclock my PSP. So looks like I may have fixed something by accident hah.
