About: RetroXMB Creator
This tool allows to create shortcuts of your ROMS on the XMB, with custom images and manuals in DDS format.
Requires to have installed RetroArch 1.0.0.2 on the PS3.
Optionally you can use this addon RetroArch 1.0.0.2 (RetroXMB Edition) to retain the compatibility in your RetroXMB packages, if RetroArch gets a future update. Requires to have RetroArch installed.
Thanks to Themaister/TwinAphex for RetroArch, STLcardsWS for the template examples. Floris van den Berg for FreeImage.dll, NVIDIA Corporation for the free Legacy Texture Tools.
Changelogs:
v1.3.1
I just fixed a regression introduced in 1.3. It should be fixed in version 1.3.1
v1.3
Added a new Core Options window (press F2 to access it)
Changed the aspect_ratio_index from “22″ to “0″ when Aspect Ratio is 4:3
v1.24
Added support for”SCE-PS3 Rodin LATIN” font for PARAM.HIP
Added an experimental conversion method using the parameters: -rel_scale 0.6, 0.6 -24 dxt1c
If the images are already in DDS format, the program will use them, instead of try to do the conversion.(it’s not the best approach, but at least the images will have the proper size if you provide them already converted)
v1.23
Added a list of variables from the text file viewable NVDXT_parameters.
Added a new function to set the parameters NVDXT pressing the F2 key from the window RetroXMB Manual Menu.
Added display of the size of the image that will be shown at the top of the application next to the title.
v1.22
Rom location added to PARAM.HIP automatically. (PARAM.HIP txt contents is viewable from XMB by highlighting the rom and pressing to access side-bar menu and select “Update Histroy”
v1.20
Now can create manuals in .DDS format. Just drag & drop the images in .jpg, .png, .bmp, .tif or .dds on the Retro XMB Manual window, hit MANUAL button and then create the PKG.
RetroXMB Creator can be used as a manual reader on uncompressed PKG files
