PTF and CTF setup

PTF: use the PSP theme menuCopy a .ptf to PSP/THEME/ on the selected device and apply it in Settings → Theme Settings → Theme. The distributor lists the included PTF files for 6.60/6.61 on official or custom firmware.
CTF: match firmware and install CXMBThe included originals are 6.60-labelled CTF files. Use compatible 6.60 CFW with CXMB; a theme’s file extension alone does not prove support for another firmware. Copy the CTF to PSP/THEME/.
Enable CXMB in ARK-4Copy cxmb.prx into seplugins/cxmb/. In ARK Custom Launcher’s file browser, select the PRX, install it for VSH (XMB), and enable it. Restart VSH, then open Theme Settings. Do not register this XMB plugin as always or Game.
Classic PRO/ME configurationFor those CFWs, the CXMB readme specifies ms0:/seplugins/cxmb/cxmb.prx 1 (or ef0:/seplugins/cxmb/cxmb.prx 1) as the first line of seplugins/VSH.txt. Restart VSH after changing it. ARK-4 has its own plugin manager and configuration format.
