The new Sony PSP Go has been unveiled by Sony today at the E3 press conference.

It seems to have been modelled after the Sony Mylo and has significant improvements over the PSP 3000. It has a sliding form factor with better controls, Bluetooth and 16 GB internal memory. Reportedly, it has just a 3.8″ display compared to the 4.3″ one on the previous versions. It’s also 40% lighter than the PSP 3000. With the PSP Go, Sony ditches the UMD drive and has launched the online Playstation Game Store to allow direct game downloads. IMO, the older candybar design was much better than this one. Also I would’ve liked a bigger display. More details to be updated soon.

This Tutorial will show you How to install PTF and CTF themes on your PSP.

What are PTF and CTF Themes?

PTF themes are the basic themes you can install on your PSP. They are officially allowed by Sony and can be installed simply by copying them to the THEME folder on your PSP.

CTF Themes are customized themes which work only on modded PSPs with CFW installed. You need to install the CXMB plugin in order to use CTF themes. CTF Themes are generally much better than PTF themes.

Install PTF Themes on PSP

- Connect the PSP to your computer using the data cable and goto Settings > USB Connection.

- Open your PSP drive (Suppose X:\) in My Computer, and goto the X:\PSP\THEME folder. If it isn’t there already, create a new folder and rename it to THEME. The absolute path of the folder should be X:\PSP\THEME. Copy the .PTF theme file to X:\PSP\THEME (X:\PSP\THEME\themename.PTF).

- Next, check whether the plugin is compatible with your PSP Firmware version. Some plugins don’t work with the latest CFW 5.00 M33-4.

- Extract the plugin files to any folder. You should get a .PRX file alongwith a Readme or Help file. The procedure to install the plugins is explained in that Help file. I will enlist the general procedure.

2. Copy the Plugin to your PSP

- Connect the PSP to your computer using the data cable and goto Settings > USB Connection.
