Misunderstood? I think you didn't fully understand my Question. I downloaded the Xbox360 theme to run on my psp. I need to clear flash0 space to fit the whole file on the Flash memory of the console. I need to know what I can delete to free enough space. Thanks again

Just make a copy of your DIC folder and store it somewhere on your computer, then delete it completely from your flash0. This will make enough room for your theme, but if you want you can also use darkpacmans tutorial to give yourself some more space.

There is no difference or side effects without it...just free's up 2mb of flash0 space.

there is also another way to flash themes on your psp its called PSP theme cycler and wat it does is it cylces your themes that you must download (it gives you 4 to start with) and it flashes them for you and its very unlikely to brick your psp unless you dont noe wat your doing i will make a tutorial for this application later on

yep your correct you just have to find your own themes im using 25 bleach themes and use put them in 'themes' in your psps root and everytime u reboot your psp it will atomatically flash your theme in order or u can manually select everytime it also saves a backup of your regular flash0 files you can find it
here if u want it and i could post a tut about just ask me too and as read the readme first before you install this app!

Ugh, I highly suggest to not use that program. Unlike in the past, it has bricked a lot of psp's. Also bricked my psp. Unless there's a newer version out, last one I used when you selected the option to back up your flash0 files, then when you reinstall your backup it would brick your psp. You can ask any of the knowledgeable older members here and I'm sure we will all agree that the only way to flash flash0 without bricking for sure is manually

. Especially for newbs, a lot of them were bricking there psp's with ti a while ago.

I still highly disagree...theres more opportunities to brick a psp when dipping into your flash0 manually than there is when using a theme flasher. The only issue that can cause a semi-brick from the theme flashers is by not having enough flash0 space. Whereas manually flashing you can semi-brick by not enough flash0 space, deleting improper files, pasting files in the wrong location, etc, etc.
Theyre both relatively easy to use, and theres no reason to worry if you have a pandora battery by your side...and 99% of the time there will only be a semi brick if you make a mistake so youre able to recover with your recovery menu.

i agree with staxx but this is the new version ace_012 its v0.5 and its very simple to use and when u flash your backup it will put it back to normal i am currently using it with 25+ themes and it works beautifully
