I appreciate it, Matchung... I can't hex edit that well though. Only a little. I did use the ppe app though (vpe) and I used the paf editor. So I've got everything where it needs to be, I just can't get compressed working. :(

Thank you, Vegetano1 - I'll try this right now.

EDIT: Idk what my PSP's prob is, but I just tried your files and they still won't work. HOWEVER, the compressed paf worked from SchmilK's theme worked. I don't get it. I replaced all the bin files with the stock ones and used your files. *shakes head* Maybe some day...

One more thing - I know what I will try: To use a 3.51 prx instead for both vsh and paf! I heard somewhere 3.52 paf and vsh recompression is difficult to deal with.

yeah and i compressed both my vshmain and my paf on my own WIP theme and it works fine.

Damn. Very weird. So lemme get this straight -

I take a STOCK/COMPRESSED paf or vshmain.prx and use that as the header. (The instructions in the .prx compressor say decrypted .prx, but if I do it that way, the .prx files never load). Then I load the paf or vshmain.prx I want compressed and compress, right?

By the way, I'm on 3.52 M33.
