Should I make/release entire themes?

[No Name Trowa B]

ok i made a few decisions speeking with you in the foum and some friends online and irl and decided to go ahead with a FEW theme ideas. ill update status and awnser questions in this thread.

icon sets are now a must as they make or brake a theme. some themes will have pmf system boots utilizing the new autoboot plugin.

evorything needed to run the theme will be included in a easy to copy over to your psp maner.

theme ideas and % compleation

10% Ouran Koukou Host Club
0% Beatmania IIDX 13th Style DistoreD
5% PS2 theme

NNTB's Features
-custom cold boot text/intro video
-custom monthly wallpaper
-custom XMB Icon Sets(complete redone XMB for 3.03 and semi redone for 3.10(untell the 3.10 gets decripted then ill redo the themes for 3.10 compleatly)
-custom rendered gameboot
-custom sounds for the XMB(based on the custom click sounds thread)
-custom about screen giving proper theme credit.

look for it soon ^^

sure, if you make them for free :)
also if you are a legit photoshop user my expections are even higher ;>

[nicodemus82]

sure, I think you should especially since you say ur a good digital artist...I look forward to seeing what u can do:)

[No Name Trowa B]

ok so people like my work but no sugestions based on themes?

i think ill make my themes just compatable with both 3.03 and 3.10 by not making a Topmenu modifacation and just using the standered psp XMB icons...

maby a anime based theme? or ps2? ps3? wii? any sugestions?

[tinman]

I would like to see a Lain theme, closer to the end of the series, dark and the way her computer looked, like a living thing.

[zer0_MHz]

i would actually like to see a full 3.03 OE-C icon set with the sony icons changed colors. all stock icons but with the dofferent colors

ok well ill get started on some stuff expect somthing by friday.

my custom opening will require you ether edit your prx that loads the emulator... or ill just add that into the pack...

[Vic Vance]

This looks really cool!
Your work is great and I hope to see a cool theme from you!
Maybe a grand theft auto theme? I think that would be either really really bad OR really really good depending on who is the creator of it and, looking at your other works I think you could pull it off!

[hurtween]

I am using your Playstation gameboot right now.

If you were to release an Icon set I would definatly check it out.

[No Name Trowa B]

new update check post 1

Looks great man! But skip the ps2 theme, I think most people wouldn't like that at all man, please skip it.

[spikticious]

Speak for yourself man... if thats what hes started let him finish his concept work.

[thizzinazn]

OMG your work is awesome! I wish I could do custom themes and whatnot like you, but I'm not tech savvy. Here's a suggestion, could you do a Bleach Theme, particualy with the Espada would be awesome, but whatever floats your boat would float mine.

[--GT--]

i wanna see work

[No Name Trowa B]

photoshop is dieing on me because of a resent death of 512 megs of ram.. sadly i will have to put a hold on this for a while. as i cant realy run photoshop on what little ram i have.

as for those who want to see actual work check out the thread dealing with the black theme... and the thread with "best gameboot.pmf" i posted links in those to my gameboot.

[GTluver]

do a DIABLO based theme. That wold rock my rocks! :D

I Want That Playstation Gameboot As A Gameboot And Intro Can Someone Do It Plez

[No Name Trowa B]

that playstation theme could be my first release i guess. i mean it is my curent setup. but isnt 100% orignal because i am using a sound bar and battery icon and font from another release.

well let me put that together for ya should be done later tonight.

[Xenogears V]

Yes i love your work and want more.:D

[Thunderstrike]

i got a cool idea : a windows theme! (like computers not house windows)

have a high-res background like the one with the beach and the island you know on the xp computers, and the icons be like folders and other windows related icons!

and make a cintro like "windows is starting up" or something and a gameboot that has some sort of computer thingy. the waves could be small or something

wouldn't this be cool?? :D

[evolve]

I'd like to see some of your work :)

[--GT--]

yea make it a GAMEBOOT AND INTRO PLEASE

[No Name Trowa B]

me.. me.... :D
how about make the batman theme icon XMB....
likes Icon batsignal for the movie, batwave for the online, batman emblem for the games, bat utility the setting menu, bat photo for the picture... ect...
and ofcourse with the backgrounds and wave that fit on this icon....
with opening plugin.rco that say:
Text: BAT-SIGN ACTIVATED
Font: PS3/Spider-Man font
Sound: ELECTRICT COMPUTER FEMELE VOICE THAT SAY: BATSIGN ACTIVATED or if to long, just say BATSIGN
Waves: Blue wave
Background: Black
that would be look cool on the black PSP....


mine PSP is 3.02 OE_A, but I would be love to upgrade it to 3.03 if this XMB requiere this firmwere...
please do it...

[Gavia]

Wow I like your work. How exactly did you make the About screen though?

[Doubledown74]

Great work. I downloaded your theme and followed your directions and everything worked great except the gameboot . I just get a white screen instead. Anyone have any ideas as to what Im doing wrong? I run 3.03oe_c

[No Name Trowa B]

does the cold boot work with the psx emulation still working?

[Doubledown74]

I don't have psx emulation on my psp.

[No Name Trowa B]

um you do its built into 3.x try converting a ps1 iso via popstation and trying to see if it works (or search for a PS1 for psp game)

[ENF]

360 icons i guess..... and if they can be Hi-Res even better.
gameboot also

[louis11]
