    You're very welcome @alexander1970
    It's been a long road for me finally updating to 6.61 themes
    but! I'm getting the hang of it.

    i find it rather comical that after all these years my wave is still the go-to solution lol.
    I should propably bother to update my own themes someday, although motivation is hard to find since im not actually using 6.61 myself, and digging up all the prx offsets allover again doesnt sound fun.

    My PSP (or should I say my 5 PSP's) are all I work with. I'll occasionally make an iPod theme (yes the classic 5/5.5g iPods lol). But PSP is what I'm really interested in I should have another theme out soon, it's a Pokémon theme but Haunter is the base background. Real dark looking I'm excited to release that.

    Haha your wave is great! @Kitsu-neechan !! I would create my own but yours is already made and I want to represent someone who's themes have always inspired me to do better with my themes. I run 5.00 M33 on one PSP and 6.61 (Infinity) on the other and then of course I have my Vita which I even made a thread on here for that particular firmware.

    I have a wide array of psp's but most of them just run 660 (no point to update) aside one that's like 1.50 or something lol.
    It took me an eternity to re-reverse the prx offsets for 6.60 themes and i just dont have the willpower to redo that for 6.61 anymore heh.

    I basically make my ENTIRE theme in 5.00 M33 format and then convert it and then clean up a bit for 6.61, it's really not TOO hard. Just a little time consuming and well this is my biggest hobby so I'm always working on new stuff. Kinda hard when you like to theme, game and read lol. But somehow I get inspired some days and I'll work solely on one thing. My buddy wants me to convert a 3.90 theme to 6.60 I was like WHAT!? I don't know how to do that! lol It's a cool theme too it's called "Circular"

    I usually avoid the converters and just rebuilt stuff i ported over to other FW's. generally the converters caused more harm than good :P

    I agree it does mess things up a bit I'm still trying to figure out how to change the .bmp files in the resource folder (you know the background colors). Since I have a permanent background I want the colors to all be black but I just can't find a tool that will do that for me and lord knows I can't figure that out hex editing (I'm a graphic designer for crying out loud not a miracle worker!)

    @Kitsu-neechan Do you know of any EASY way to convert a 3.90 CTF to say 5.00 M33 or 6.60?
    I'm having a hell of a time trying to recreate a theme for my friend. The theme is called circular.
    Very nice theme I just wish there was an easier way, does patpat's tool (like his old versions)
    go down to 3.90?

    @Kitsu-neechan Well, I guess it didn't hurt to ask lol I really don't have that much time to remake this theme my buddy wants right now. I'm currently working on another 6.61 ∞ (Infinity) theme. I'm bringing my Haunter theme back (it looks awesome). I love making the background the most lol that's where all the flavor is!! I believe I shall work on my "Curtain Call Brawl" theme after releasing the Haunter theme, that theme was actually featured as a thumbnail for one of YouTube's Tech James's videos. When I saw that he had used my theme for his video thumbnail I said to myself, "you gotta get back into it." And so I did! I wanted to redo the Paper Mario theme or remake it for 6.61 first because, well, it's my personal favorite theme. I've made so many so far but the remakes will prove to be better.

    i know that feeling.
    i actually started redoing frost at one point too (i lost the source in a hdd crash so had to redo it) in order to fix the little issues etc it had,
    but that was already years after i called it quits and i never really got around to getting that done either heh.

    it looked neat though :P

    @Kitsu-neechan Sure does look good your idea of having any background just thrown into a theme is a good one, BUT I prefer a fixed background (a themed background) I really have a lot of work ahead of me especially when I remake my "God of Themes" theme. I've got sketches of the many different weapons and items Kratos picks up in his travels from games I-III. It will be a far greater theme than what's shown on endlessparadigm that's for sure. Just gonna take a lot of time editing everything.
