The topmenu_plugin.rco caused the freeze, but here you go now: http://www.mediafire.com/download/rgkk1 ... ty6.60.ctf
I've replaced the extra icon with the grey bar, but of course this doesn't look that good. :? I don't know if this is sufficient for you, but otherwise either change all the icons so you can add ''Extras'' to the grey bar or complety remove the extra icon by choosing
Fake region --> Debug Type I in the recovery menu.
Dude, you're my hero! Works great!

The grey bar for extras is far better than what I was seeing with most of the other converted ctf's I tried, most of them the whole menu just completely vanished. Honestly, I usually go through the menu too fast for it to really matter, but having the bar there is quite preferable to it not being there, thanks for going the extra mile!

If anyone was wondering, this is the custom wallpaper I use with Simplicity, it's like they were meant for each other they work together so well.

As you can imagine, the bit at the bottom can be quite distracting with a transparent menu, makes me think the image came from a tablet or smartphone originally, but the bar at the bottom of Simplicity for the menu covers it up nicely.

I'll look into that debug type thing, since the only thing in the extras menu is the "digital comics" thing that isn't available anymore. Not planning on setting anything to 'debug' until I know a bit more about what the debug mode does and does not allow and how it works; I don't want to accidentally brick my PSP... wouldn't be the first thing I accidentally bricked when in debug mode from not knowing what some of the settings did.

Thanks again to everyone here that helped/tried to help me figure this out (I'm FAR better with Xboxes...original, not 360...), and a HUGE thanks to ordi for doing the conversion for me.

1) Debug 1/2 does nothing really so go for it

2) Just crop that bottom bit out?

I'd crop it out, but it doesn't work as well with most of the other themes I've tried, and SImplicity covers it up, so no point.

@edale1 No problem. :)
I've also added the extra icon to the bar now (it wasn't as time consuming as I expected) and slightly changed the position of some menu text so that all menu texts now have the same position on the x-axis, so here's the updated version: http://www.mediafire.com/download/8112t ... new660.ctf

Remember when I said you went the extra mile? Well I think you just crossed 2 separate state boarders...lol.

Seriously though, thanks again for the conversion, and update. Looks great!
