  • Dynamic Theme Editor Released + Tutorial + Color Boot Animation Tutorial

    Are you looking to customize your PS3 a bit to make it really stand out? Zembor0 has released a set of tutorials and apps to assist you in doing just that. He has released an easy to use Dynamic Theme Editor along with a tutorial. In addition he has described in detail how to create custom boot up logos in full color.



    Guide Dynamic Theme:

    Run Dynamic theme editor and select Price of Persia

    <img src="http://psgroove.com/images/dynthemes/1.png">

    Select “open” under step 2. This will show you the folder of images that you can edit. In this guide I will edit “CircularSmoke_01.gtf_1” and “SOT_Theme_BackGround.gtf_1” and “TrilogyLogo.gtf_1”. Simple open photoshop, open each image in turn and copy and paste the provided images bellow into each dds file. You need to past it on the RGB layer and the alpha layer.

    TrilogyLogo.gtf_1
    SOT_Theme_BackGround.gtf_1
    CircularSmoke_01.gtf_1

    <img src="http://psgroove.com/images/dynthemes/2.png">

    If you want to change the icons in the xmb click the open button next to step 3. You can then edit the png files. Don’t change the resolution for format of the image.

    <img src="http://psgroove.com/images/dynthemes/3.png">

    Now click the theme details button and change them as you like.

    Click the browser button and select where you want to save your theme.
    The Prince of Persia theme that we are editing has lots of other pictures that we have not edited, so we don’t want to show them. This is where we ick which effects we want to remove. Tick them as shown:

    <img src="http://psgroove.com/images/dynthemes/5.png">

    Finally press start, you should see a black bock pop up at the bottom of that it will say “press enter”. So press enter when prompted. Now you should have your theme in you save destination.

    Select “open” next to step 2. This will show you the dds files belonging to this theme. In this guide you only need to edit “AS_chara01.gtf_1.dds”. Open “AS_chara01.gtf_1.dds” in photoshop and paste the RGB version bellow , in photoshop. You now need to edit the alpha version and paste the alpha version bellow into photoshop.

    Since we are not making a theme you do not need to edit the theme icons or set any theme details. So next click “browser” and select somewhere to save the theme file.
    For the design we are making you need to tick all the tick boxes apart from “AS_chara01.edge”


    <img src="http://psgroove.com/images/dynthemes/31.png">



    Next click “start”, wait for a black box appears and what for it to say “Press enter”, then press enter.


    <img src="http://psgroove.com/images/dynthemes/41.png">



    There should now be a theme file in the destination that you selected, we don’t need that, now click on the “open” button next to step 3. This will show you the theme files, scroll down in till you find the file called Anim_1.jpg


    <img src="http://psgroove.com/images/dynthemes/51.png">



    Copy this file to a directory you will remember and rename it to “coldboot.raf”, you now have your coldboot.raf file to install.
