Thanks to hibbyware's clever coding, and my bitchin batches...
Wee present to you prx converter
By pressing a button you will be converting the following files (if available)
from a 3.90prx to a 3.95 prx to be used on 3.95GEN ONLY!!!
These files MUST be editable via hexworkshop/prx editor
aka Decompressed and decrypted (mostly vshmain/paf are compressed by theme makers)
common_gui.prx
content_browser.prx
game_plugin.prx
msvideo_main_plugin.prx
music_browser.prx
music_player.prx
opening_plugin.prx
paf.prx
photo_browser.prx
radioshack_plugin.prx
rss_browser.prx
savedata_plugin.prx
skype_main_plugin.prx
sysconf_plugin.prx
vshmain.prx
Any file not listed here WILL NOT be converted
and WILL NOT WORK in 3.95GEN!!!
So they will be deleted :)
Use the prx in this folder in 3.95GEN ONLY!!!
Your custom RCO from 3.90m33 should work fine in 3.95GEN
If you notice crashing/stalling/problems, I am going to guess your prx is compressed or the 3.90 theme you are converting used a 3.80 rco file.
Enjoy!! Next release will be for a 4.0x convertor......
Spoiler for instructions:
+Extract the zip to your favorite harddrive location.
+COPY your prx that are DECOMPRESSED AND DECRYPTED into the folder from above.
Spoiler for What kind of prx do i have?:
To determine what state your px is in open your PRX in hex editor
If you see .ELF in the first line, then this program will
If that line says ~PSP. then this program WILL NOT give you a working prx because it is compressed/encrypted)
BUT, you candelete all data above 0x150 and rename the file to *.gzip, then open with winrar or ungzip and extract the compressed .prx, now you can update it
Now that wee have good prx, you can flash them, compress them, or make them into a ctf. The nice thing about 3.95 is every rco will workfrom 3.90 (i tested this by putting EVERY 3.90 prx in my converter, took the results and made a new ctf with all of the prx i converted along with EVERY rco from 3.90...guess what..everything worked fine)
***WARNINGS***
-Sometimes the opening_plugin.prx sounds real bad, or sometimes it causes a crash upon bootup from bad conversion :( Try it again or do not use that file. Matchung says that he is successfull by extracting from 3.90, re-encoding, then injecting into 3.95. But, I can not get that to convert properly for every theme i have done.
-Commongui is a bit tougher than i thought. Due to sony removing some data and things being broke up all over the place, i can't seem to get every theme's infobar to be perfect after common_gui conversion. If you use infobars and notice they arent in the correct spot, edit it or don't use it
-Any prx that can not be converted at this time WILL BE DELETED, so make sure this is not your only copy of the files...but right now the only theme modded prx that is not converted is visualizer_plugin...that file is a mess and will hopefully be figured out for the 4.00 release....
With this I have succesfully converted and made ctf of ScheNschitivity, Frosstyboxxy, Schmediaschenter, SchideLoader, SchideLoaderer, Photography V1.S, Gears, NiteoLite, TransNiteo, Vertigo!, R2D3, Mechanics, and default 3.90 Sony Files.
If you say it doesn't work, you will need to be more specific. I have run this from usb memory stick which is *very slow* and from a raided harddrive which is *VERY FAST* in both windows vista and windows xp.
This is not perfect, but it should save people more time than it took for me to complete. lol
these files did not work:
opening_plugin.prx >>> i replaced with hexworkshop from before "wave" and before "tread" area
commengui_plugin.prx infobars did not show,.. also the theme infobar was not stretched 2
sysconfig_plugin.prx replaced,.. could not enter settings>>system
music_player_plugin.prx freeze when selecting song,..
everything else worked fine!! very very fast conversion!! lol

probably opening plugin....if you have vshmenu/recovery enabed and you are a ta black screen and can press select then reboot it is more than likely the opening.

I will look at your ffcc files and adjust accordingly ;)
*edit* your sysconf has buttloads of data that is changed compared to an original 3.90, but ALOT of the changed data does not hold a good 32bit float :-/ care to share why?

i used the commengui, musicplayer and sysconfg from my already converted FFXIII theme.
