You have to name it 1-12.bmp and put it inside your resource folder (in flash).

After that it is selectable from the theme menu in your XMB

Yup, then the PSP will think its the monthly background image, and use it below your waves.

Odd, more and more people are getting this problem...

Have you made sure the image is a BMP, not a JPG saved as one. Also try a different size, for example 460x260

Yes. There is suppose to be a sorta looking colored white box, like, the first one in themes. Just rename it exactly like the 1-12 file, it has to be identical.

Does it read, 1-12.bmp? Cause mine is only 1-12. The format and icon has to be identical to that of the original too. Im not a wizard in this but dont u need another file to run with the waves?

Nono on your XMB, under theme settings

@reit
You have file extension viewing turned off under windows settings. It is still named 1-12.bmp

@mat
Check that with yours also
