Custom XMB Themes: Original XMB+, Bogus Firmware, Pirate Style

The PSP’s XMB aesthetics is the topic of this article, as we serve up another trio of custom themes just waiting to be loaded into your PSP. Today’s themes are from homebrew coders innercy, undertaxxx, and desi_soulja8, and are titled Original XMB+, Bogus Firmware Theme, and Pirate Style XMB.

Original XMB+
First up is innercy‘s Original XMB+ icon theme. PSP owners may feel a tinge of nostalgia after seeing the sample shot above – innercy states that these are the same icons you see when you turn on your PSP for the very first time. The Original XMB+ theme comes in either a white or black set.

Bogus Firmware Theme
This XMB theme, as undertaxxx explains, is themed after a bogus firmware that Sony launched back on November 25, 2005 in Japan. The author further commented that this pack is the completed version of a similar “Bogus fw” that had reached 90% completion before he decided to cancel it.

Pirate Style XMB
Given that Pirates of the Carribbean: At Worlds End movie is coming up soon, desi_soulja8 over at the QJ.Net Forums decided it was high time to release this theme. As its name says, it’s a Pirates XMB theme which uses 32-bit icons.

Downloads for each theme are available below – just be sure to back up your files in case anything happens. Also make sure to visit each of these author’s threads over at the QJ.Net Forums, as they’re looking for suggestions on how to make these themes better. That, and they should provide for pointers on how to install these themes to your PSP. Enjoy your download.
