Hey everyone, back with another fairly simple question!

I've recently gotten a new custom XMB put on my memory stick. I'm currently at 3.52 M33-4, and my plan is to upgrade to 3.71 M33-2. My question is, will having the custom XMB create any problems when I upgrade? Should I restore the XMB to the original?

I appreciate the help, thanks!

I dont think so, cuase 3.71 m33 has already its own custom themes, you can use the Pandora Battery to do it, its easier and there is NO Chance of bricking, I have done it with a lot of custom firmwares and sony firmwares, good luck!

PSP (+[__]%): 2.80 < 1.50 > 3.40OE-A > 3.71M33-4 > 3.80m33-5 > 3.90m33-3 > 4.01m33-2 + 8gb MSPD
PS3 HD 60GB: 1.33 > 1.90 > 2.01 > 2.17 - NO OS
Nintendo DS [+[__]%]: EZ Flash 5 Plus + 1GB MicroSD + EZFlash 3in1
Nintendo Wii: 3.2U + 1GB SD Card + WiiKey 1.9s

the custom themes does not affect

what flashing really do is just deleting ur flash0 and creating a new one.. thus it is actually possible if u replace a flash0 from 3.71m33 into ur psp u will have a 3.71m33 psp

provided that u have the same mother board and so on..

Hmmmm....I don't really know all that much about Pandora's Battery. The only thing I'm sure of is that it is used to downgrade a slim PSP. Would you happen to know or have a link to some sort of tutorial that might aid my situation?

From what I'm gathering, it's not really a big deal to change it back to normal. However the custom XMB I'm using is 3.52 M33 specific. I'm not too sure if upgrading will just replace all the files (thus ending up with the plain old XMB once I've upgraded to 3.71 M33-2), or if the custom XMB will remain the same, or if it will lead to problems.

Maybe I should take the long safe route and re-apply the original XMB, and then upgrade from there. Any and all suggestions are greatly appreciated and greatly considered!!! Thanks to all for the assistance!!

it still works the normal way (replacing the flash0 etc)

but u may now apply a custome theme in the XMB

however if u want to replace the flash0 i heard that it might not have enough free space
