Lili-Chan Software is proud to announce that it has released the next version of its popular Playstation 3 Theme Editing software package “Ps3 Theme Builder”.
PS3 Theme Builder 3.0 contains numerous updates, including but not limited to the following.
- The application now opens / extracts P3T files automatically, when selecting one using the File > Open command or clicking on the Open button.
- There is a new companion application “Icon Manager”. The Icon manager allows users to define new icons definitions as they are released by Sony, eliminating the need for an incremental updates to the application when Sony releases new Icons.
- The application detects if JPG files are saved in non-standard formats (e.g. progressive, or Huffman encoding) and informs the user that the image is not valid.
- After a successful compile, the application cleans up all the
.GIM files.
- We have implemented checks that will prevent users from saving / building themes that have “Junk” names (e.g. Blank, undefined, sample, etc...).
- The Genre field has been changed into a combo box with several pre-defined selections available; however users can still enter custom text.
- The application now will automatically convert uncompressed .WAV files to .VAG (Sony PlayStation ADPCM Sound).
- You can also preview your .VAG files in the application. (Note: if you hear
static when playing the file, then you need to ensure the .WAV file you converted from is uncompressed).
- The notification window is now supported.
- Users can now create their own preview image and associate it with the theme rather than forcing them to use the inbuilt preview tools.

A new version PS3 Theme Builder has been release.
This version is 2.3a, the new features are as follows:
- Sounds Effects will now work in conjunction with the
new icons.\
- Fixed a bug that was causing some themes to fail to
compile
- Bundled the Xross Media Simulator into the
application. The Xross Media Simulator replaces the
existing 'Test Drive' Functionality.
I have also made the first release of Xross Media
Simulator. This can be downloaded as part of the PS3 Theme
Builder or it can downloaded as a standalone application.
This tool allows you to preview theme in 720p resolution.
It supports previewing uncompiled XML themes, or compiled P3T
files.
August 4 2008:
- Added support for new Icons released in firmware 2.4
- Fixed several bugs
- Removed "Created Using PS3 Theme Builder Tag"
Important Note: Sound is not supported in combination with the
new icons.
If you add one of the new icons, your theme will save and
compile without sounds.
However, if you do not use any of the new icons, then you can
still create themes that contain sounds.
