SKFU has shared his findings when peeking inside one of the new
Dynamic / Animated PS3 Themes that have recently been introduced in PS3 Firmware 3.0.
To quote: "A quick look at the new animated themes shows that they are not really different to the common themes. I just downloaded the free theme from the Japanese store and decrypted the HDD again to see what is inside the package file. Well, it is:
1. JP9000-NPJQ00006_00-0000000000000000.p3t.edat
You see a normal .p3t file which is the same type of data, the old themes use. It is just encrypted as .edat file which is decrypted and installed on the PS3 on the fly after downloading it.
2. PS3LOGO.DAT
The default picture you see in any game when you press triangle - information about the game.
That's all. Wondering if there will be a homebrew program to develop your own animated themes soon, or even a SONY tool like the one for the old themes?!"
If the ps3 is still on 3.55 put it in service mode and go through the last part of the downgrade. If it is not on 3.55 then flash the downgrade bin to...
Some of the normal user created themes have been amazing!
Yeah, but I was expecting to see a very similar file structure in both kind of themes, the "normal" and the dynamic ones. I just hope for a "PS3 Dynamic Theme Creator" to come soon.
I don't know much about this subject, but the dynamic part of the themes doesn't seem to be so complex (ejem... LDP is very simple actually
Anyway, if we have to program a little bit that's fine with me, I will give it a try... until it gets hardcore
Maybe this is to an extend possible at the PS3, too.
