PLAYSTATION 3 Theme Creation Tool

Okay, the theme packed 2.0 was released last night, so we need to get creating themes for us to enjoy. Of course the Japanese site already has the theme creation tool.

1) First, download the tool.

2) Extract the folder.

3) Open command prompt and navigate to the folder.

4) The folder should contain a sample folder, a GrimConv folder, a p3tcompiler.exe and other assorted files. To create your theme you will need to run the p3tcompiler.exe passing in the sample.xml. (ex: Example: If you are in the p3tcompiler_v101 folder, you run: p3tcompiler .sample�1sample.xml)

5) This creates a number of .gim files and a sample.p3t files in the sample /01/ directory. Take the sample.p3t file and transfer it to a memory stick in the following location: PS3->THEME.

6) Plug the memory stick into your PS3 and select the theme setting, where you will be given an option to install; do so, and you will have your sample theme.

7)To construct your own custom theme, it’s a case of editing all of the .png files in the sample directory, and re-run all of the above.

Have fun creating themes!
