Hackers Creates Dynamic Theme Editor For PS3

TheParanoidGamer: "Here something neat that we stumbled upon. Apparently hackers have created a new theme tool that allows you to create your own dynamic themes. Normally we would not submit something like this, but this is something that we feel that many PS3 owners would benefit and enjoy since it’s been requested by many owners."

I hate hackers but i guess this is a good thing. I love custom themes so i can't wait to see what people come up with.

[VINNIEPAZ]

WOW! You guys are JUST NOW understanding that NOT ALL hacking is about pirating games. SMH

[Nitrowolf2]

TBH not all hacking is bad, but in general the majority of its users aren't looking for legit things to do. There are some out there who do want to do great stuff like this. But like i said the majority are just looking for ways to pirate and cheat online.

[Bathyj]

When Obviously this is the sort of hacking no one has a problem with. It hurts no one.

I didnt hear anyone complaining either about all the cool stuff hackers were doing with Kinect.

[LOGICWINS]

@VINNIEPAZ- Exactly lol. Sony is after ALL hackers, even the ones that only have good intentions such as a "Theme Editor". THAT is the real problem.

"But like i said the majority are just looking for ways to pirate and cheat online"

Ummm...evidence???

[Bull5hifT]

TH!S>

[Jezuz]

Nitrowolf2, lols. Majority of hackers don't look to cheat online, only a few percentage. And this article proves that hacking isn't that bad at all.

[radphil]

Devil Advocate's time to VINNIEPAZ:

Show as far as hacking on the PS3, other than the Dynamic Theme creator which is nice, from the many forums on the underground sites.

I can guarantee that if you were to randomly click on one of them, 9 times out of 10 it will be about downloading "X" game.

Hacking =/= pirating game(people with a brain can deduce that), but you have to be blind to not notice people taking the illicit usage of this all.

Thing is, it's annoying to see people saying that all forms of hacking is bad, BUT at the same time it's also annoying to see people just blindly jump into the fray defending areas of hacking without basis.

[Rainstorm81]

Finally a hacker developed something useful for PS3....I used to create themes for PS3 (google: Rainstorm81).. but once the Dynamic themes were released i gave up on it....hacks like these are a god send.

@vinniepaz

I dont think anyone ever said ALL hacking is about pirating.

[nycredude]

Go ahead and download this stuff. I hope you guys understand how easy it would be to include a trojan or a backdoor to collect your info. Good luck. I don't trust anyone of these hackers, whether they pirate or not.

[Bull5hifT]

Just Make a custom theme where Geo Hot Gets kicked in the Balls and anonomous get lined up against a wall getting executed... As a .GIF playing in the Backround

[gamingdroid]

But wait! This is threatening Sony's business model of selling dynamic themes. It must be shut down! All hacking is evil!!!

[nycredude]

You are an idiot. If anything Sony gives away more themes than they sell. It's other companies that make themes too and sell them. I am plus member and have download more than 10 themes for free.

[Kahvipannu]

I am not plus member, and I don't get dynamic themes for free. So you are paying for them, the thing is, that you don't have any kind of controll what your paying for.

@gamingdroid
I believe too that Sony won't like this, otherwise they would had already given somekind of option to make c-themes by ourselves, or would had given them for free to people already.

[xyxzor]

This is the type of useful things hackers should be doing. It's good to see something cool. Finally.

[princejb134]

exactly this is something useful

[LOGICWINS]

Sony made it clear that there after ALL hackers by removing the "Other OS" feature from ALL PS3's. The only we we can LEGALLY take advantage of something like this is if Sony creates its own theme editor and chooses to give it to us.

[MGRogue2017]

Here's where you can grab the ones that are shown in the article.. And also alot more :)

http://www.ps3iso.com/showt...

Just put the .pet file in PS3/THEME folder on an external FAT32 USB hard drive.. connect to the PS3.. & then in Themes, click "install"

[MGRogue2017]

I meant .P3T file..

Anyway, Most of 'em look really good like the Homefront, Assassin's Creed Brotherhood, & God Of War ones..

The Homer one is my favourite one though so far, Lots of donuts flying 'round on screen & looks like a real dynamic theme that you'd buy from the PlayStation store. :D

Also, The themes work on Official PS3 Firmware.. No PS3 Jailbreak needed!

[WildArmed]

Nice!
Thanks for the heads up.
Been waiting for custom dynamic theme creator to hit

[Jezuz]

It works on a Official FW PS3?

[Nitrowolf2]

The article states that it works fine

[princeofthabay]

Might want to wait for a bit to see if Sony says its ok or you might get banned.

[HeavenlySnipes]

this is why they went through all the trouble to hack the PS3. To cheat at MW2 and create themes...

I haven't seen any benefit of hacking the PS3 as of yet.

[Eamon]

you smart guy lol

[fr0sty]

they didn't have to hack anything to create these themes, it runs on official FW.

[Eamon]

haha, that's why I called this person smart.

Because he didn't even need to read the article.

[earbus]

pew pew teh hackies

[plb]

This is actually a fair use of a jailbreak tbh but I know Sony want you to buy their themes on psn so sonethig like this would never happen legally.

[Megaton]

All of you children ranting and raving on here about how hackers need to go kill themselves for hurting Sony's feelings aren't allowed to use them.

[Eamon]

lol haha

[9thWonder]

keep your custom themes im not about to support the hackers that created alot of misery for those that use the PS3 nothing good comes from hackers no matter how much sugar coating you put on their shit

[TheOneWhoKillsYou]

I like this. Free custom dynamic themes have been a want of mine for a long arse time.

[DangerTick]

The problem with this is they could slow down your XMB if they screwed up while making the dynamic theme.

[DundahMifflin]

I...am intrigued.

[Bull5hifT]

Yup, Im Hugh Hefner , sometimes Ron Jeremy..... .. .;3 Giggity Giddity Gew , ohhh YEAH

[Quagmire]

You need to get laid. Yesterday.

[Quagmire]

I wont lie. If my PS3 was hacked, I would still buy games, but be able to customise my PS3 the way I want.

[Neko_Mega]

Pretty, to bad you can't get online with it. Maybe that person should send it to Sony to put on the PSN.

Like I said, there is some good hackers out their, but most of them now are just trying to make a name for them self.

[Finger-Eater]

LOL at the spinning skull? I would rather just pay $3 bucks and get Sackboy running on top of the world or Nathan walking across snow. Still cool though.

[TheOneWhoKillsYou]

That theme isn't a good example... But they're working on better themes at the moment I hope.. So eventually, we can have awesome free dynamic themes!

[Eiffel]

Practice makes perfect, not something anyone can get right the first time flawlessly. Give it time, we should start to see some really professional ones in the future.

[Silly gameAr]

This is actually pretty cool.

[Fulensenca]

I can' t believe this. They ( hackers ) are doing this war for something so important! Freedom for the sony's costumers, our freedom! Now that we have a custom dynamic theme don' t you feel more free? Oh, this freedom, you can smell it.

Cool? This is not cool at all ... WTF with you people!!? This is illegal, period. Stupid law? Maybe, maybe not, we can discuss about, maybe someone should change it, maybe not, but ATM it' s still the current law.

They are criminals not some sort of brave saviors that fights for your rights!!!
do not get fooled, a crime is a crime. nothing to be happy about at all.

From the comments I read hackers/pirates must be more than I thought.

PS: wow, a dynamic custom theme, just what I needed to improve my gameing experience! It' s something so important that hardly I believe that I've survived till today without this "cooool" stuff. Really amazing! Congratulations /S

Look at the disagree number, remember that you can be a honest person or not, can' t be half & half. You are a hackers supporters or someone that respects rules, you can' t be both. Choose your side if you are not hypocrites. This or that, there are no other opitions to choose, honest person or not honest person.

[blackburn5]

That's nice but no thanks. Don't trust you guys at all. I don't think all hackers are bad but if your little programs and hacks mess up my system in any way it's on my head.At least Sony can fix what they do wrong but you guys might no be able to. I will stick with Sony's official Dynamic Themes thanks.

[GoldPS3]

I actually want a theme editor. Sony should put on in the PSN store to buy. I rather make my own dynamic themes and not buy some of the boring ones in PSN.

[sashimi]

Dynamic themes are cool and all except i barely to get time w/ my themes and wallpaper. Cause you know whenever i have my Ps3 on its gaming or a waste a electricity :P
