59w ago - Following up on the
previous release, this weekend PlayStation 3 developer
TizzyT has updated PS3 Color Logo Creator to v2.50 Beta followed by versions 2.51 and 2.511 with the changes outlined below.
Download:
PS3 Color Logo Creator v2.511 (GIMP Mod) /
PS3 Color Logo Creator v2.51 /
PS3 Color Logo Creator v2.50 /
Logo Repo
v2.50 Changes:
- UI has changed.
- Shouldn't have packing errors anymore.
- Does fine if file-size of logo changes.
- No hex-editing.
- There are no more arguments.
- Like prior versions of PCLCV2, (should) creates/extracts all required files.
- CS5 extended instead of CS4.
Not implemented:
- Detects when Photoshop is finished extracting (will add in soon).
- Save preview (will add in soon).
- Have not added Code Rebug's Coldboot installer (will add in soon).
v2.51 Changes:
- Detects when Photoshop is extracting and when its finished extracting.
- Save preview image during coldboot packing process, saved in the Coldboot folder.
- Code Rebug's Coldboot installer will be extracted to the same location as the application.
Update: Finished up and implemented the missing things. Version is 2.51.
This version is a slight mod of version 2.51. Instead of Photoshop I have replaced it with GIMP 2.6, DDS plugin is included. For now I will say use with care since I have not figured out what settings need to be set in GIMP to create a successful coldboot, if anything stay away from this version unless you want to test.
I am looking at 2 potential alternatives for Photoshop. One being the one found in this version and the other is Paint.Net.
IF YOU ARE TESTING:
My PS3 is unfortunately not functional and so I want to take this time to request testers. Testers need to keep in mind that installing a messed up coldboot cannot perma-brick your PS3. Testers also must know before hand that if the system does hang or seem to be in a brick state that
they should be ready to reinstall the firmware.
Testers goal is to find a working setting while saving that will create a working coldboot and report it.
ProTip: it is one of the DXT5 options.
Protip2: use save as and not save to get to the different settings that need to be tested.
Changes:
- Replaced bundled Photoshop with gimp 2.6 portable (added dds plugin).
- Kind of stupid of me but added a close button in the help menu.
- Changed the browse window to browse to any editor and not just Photoshop.exe
Future plans:
- Update help menu with editing/saving information.
- Fix the issue of not loading preview image on slow computers (maybe sometime soon)
- Get a Paint.Net variant version (maybe)
- Add simple preset animations ex: scroll in from left/right/top/bottom (possibly sooner then later)
- UI changes (eventually going to happen)
This is for service for my downgrade only. You should post in the help area for help on this. If you post there I would be more than willing to help. ...

To quote from his blog: Here is my http://tizzyt-archive.blogspot.com/2012/06/static-raf-converter.html but not working StaticRafConverter. This is the finished and working / tested release.
This will be the final revision of a Raf creation program as I believe this is the easiest to use. I will still make updates if bugs are found or if something added.
Instructions:
There are 2 ways of using this, One way is to simply drag a supported image over the tool's icon and a new folder is created in the same location as the image that was used. Inside the created folder is a coldboot.raf.
The second way is to run the program normally and select an image. And press Convert after desired settings are selected. Using it this way provides a few simple minipulation features to adjust the logo and there is also a preview button to preview your logo.
v1.0a Changes:
• Version is now 1.0a (because its a small update)
• Added Fill resize option
• Saves a preview in output folder
• Added a "Specify Output" option to change output location
Planned:
• A fade in/out effect has been requested, I might or might not get to that.
Log:
• This is version 1.0 of a new revision of PCLCv2.
Adjustment settings:
Resize, Reposition.
There are also presets like Stretch, Zoom, anchor to top left/top right/top center/center left/center/center right/bottom left/bottom center/bottom right.
Planned:
• A modded version of this will be used in a dynamic theme editor I will be working on.
• A Fill resizing option might come in later update.

To quote (via tizzyt-archive.blogspot.co.uk/2012/03/playstation-color-logo-creator-v25.html): "Future versions of PCLCv2.5+
I will NOT be including Photoshop as a bundled option for editing and making the coldboots. A user has displayed great worry and so I respect his thoughts and will look into using other ways and programs to make coldboots easier.
Reason: Photoshop used in the bundled version is a modded portable version I found online. While I have made the entire coldboot creator with functionality in mind I did in fact forget about the other issues. I will advise that anyone using my program should either completely remove it from their systems or use it without the included Photoshop.
I apologize for the inconvenience."
