How to Install PTF Themes on 5.50

A PlayStation Theme File (PTF) is a PSP theme that is applied through the use of the PSP memory card. These theme files work on any PSP that is running firmware 3.80 or higher. The PSP comes with a generic theme that has flat colors as the background, which can be changed to other solid colors. Through the use of the PTF theme, each PSP can have its own unique appeal with animated icons, custom backgrounds and sounds to fit each PSP owner's personality.
