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.

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)
