Because, it says 5.00, it's a GUI... common people hate command line tools :/ and, the magic bit that SchmilK said. I have been using Freeplays tool for a long time it work just fine it includes source so I can use it on my Mac without wine granted it does not create CTF's, but isn't that what CXMB full is for

Good reason for the GUI, not for the magic.

Code:

	fread(&magic, 1, sizeof(int), ctf_fd);
	
	magic &= 0xFFF;
	printf("Extracting CTF %s, Firmware: %x.%02x\n\n", argv[1], (magic >> 8) & 0xF, magic & 0xFF);

Dynamic code to get magic, unless the file is altered (or format changes). My CTF Unpacker is used over Freeplay's (personally) because it reconstructs the prx's to their original state. It's open source too, so you can go check it out.

Anyway, enough of me being me.

Thank you..... Yay

I did that bad thing I do, and thought that "CTF Extractor for PC" would just be an exe. I need to stop thinking :p

If anyone would like an OS X version I attached it.

Hi there, really cool tool by the way, but i have a problem, I have cfw 5.00 m33-6 and I downloaded ctf manager v5.00, installed the prx files and chose 5.00 firmware, extracted my ctf 5.00 theme and chose firmware 5.00 again. I edited my vsh folder files and now i want to compile the 2 folders (font & vsh) into a ctf file and this is what I get :

@ bleed4one:

you should choose 5.00 not 4.01 (see image 2) to unpack/pack 5.00 CTF's

bleed4one · 12/07/2009 04:13 AM

Hi silver_surfer, I've already chosen for 5.00 firmware when extracting, because I have 5.00ctf and they only extract when you choose 5.00. The problem is when I try to create them to a ctf (compile the vsh & font ) there is no option to choose for 5.00. The "create window" looks incomplete ( image 3 ).
My specs are:
nvidia 9800 gt, 1tb hdd ( about 700+ gb free ), 4 gb ram, core2quad cpu
my os is windows vista ultimate sp 1
Maybe I need to upgrade some of my specs.
Anyone, some help please (please read my first post)

Thanks for posting a reply silver_surfer

@ bleed4one:

I see. your CTF Manager menu is incomplete it should look like this

try to download from this source or just use

i-patpat's CTFTOOL GUI for 5.50

bleed4one · 12/07/2009 10:04 AM

Hi there silver_surfer thanks for your reply
I downloaded from the source you gave me and it still looks the same (like the end piece got cut off) just like my pics in my post earlier
Then I downloaded the i-patpay's CTFTOOL GUI for 5.50 and when I try to open it or activate it, this is what I get:

"Component 'COMDLG32.OCX' or one of its dependencies not correctly registered: a file is missing or invalid"

I downloaded the file about 5 times and still the same thing. I really want to make a custom ctf theme for my psp, is there another way to compile my vsh & font folder. The ctf manager v5.00 pic you put there looks really cool and perfect, mine looks weird. If there is any more help you can give me please post it
Thanks again silver_surfer

@ bleed4one:

you need to download COMDLG32.OCX file and place it inside CTF Tool Gui folder.. google can help you with this ;)
