Download:
PS3 Fixed EasyStaticRAFConverter v1.0 /
PS3 Fixed EasyStaticRAFConverter v1.0a
To quote from his blog: Here is my
previously released 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: Here is my tool to help you make your custom PS3 boot logos.
For examples: (thx to mrmuppet and me)
You will need:
• Photoshop (To create your Boot Logo)
• Photoshop DDS plugin (To allow you to edit the Logo)
• The attached Boot Logo Creator
• SimplyZip
Basic Instructions:
1. Install Photoshop
2. Install the DDS Plugin http://developer.nvidia.com/object/photoshop_dds_plugins.html
3. Edit your DDS files
4. Run Coldboot Creator and follow the steps
Full Instructions:
1. After You have installed Photoshop and the dds plug-in you will need to open the dds files in the "Boot Logo's (dds's)" Folder. When you open the DDS click on "Load Using Default Sizes"
2. When you have created your desired logo you have to save it with these settings:
3. Repeat this for all 6 pictures Do Not resize the pictures (Resolution)
4. Run "Coldboot Creator.exe" and select "Step1"
5. You will need to convert you DDS files to GTF files, to do this Click "Convert Pictures" and follow the instructions.
6. When you have converted your pictures Browse to all the files it asks for:
7. Press Start and it should say Success, then close that window and click Step2
8. Follow the on screen instructions with pictures to compress the step1 file
9. Click step3
10. Browse to the required files and click finish to create the final Coldboot.raf
11. Copy the Coldboot.raf to /dev_flash/vsh/resource on your ps3 (You will need a way to write to flash eg. Asbestos or FreeFlash 3.55 compiled or dev_blind)
Do not change the size of the images (Resolution)There are no checks, if you change the size your coldboot will not work!
I have tested this on 3.55, it should work on 3.41 since the Coldboot.raf files are the same (Correct me if i'm wrong)
