Make custom sounds with new PS3 theme maker

by Nick Doerr on Jan 22nd 2008 5:00PM

Are you dissatisfied with only being able to create custom themes for your PS3? Does the fact you have to hear that weird click noise as you scroll through your junk irritate you? How about gaining the ability, upon leveling up to your next skill level, to make your own noises?

Lili-Chan Software has created a tool for just that purpose and it's yours to download. Now you can be as creative as you want -- from sneezes to some alternative clicking noise. The world is your oyster: go gut it, clean it, and eat the innards.

I knew some how, some time, the ps3 would be converted into a MGS pda. Imagine an MGS theme complete with the same sounds the MGS pda makes? How about a MGS skin for the ps3 as well? Gunshots when you turn the console on/off??!?

Very first thing I did was figure out how to turn off the damn clicking. Computer UIs should be seen and not heard. Audio is for multimedia only.

Wow. Clearly someone who's never studied cognitive psychology. Some sort of audio cue in interfaces is almost universally featured in devices. Trying using something like the iPod Touch or iPhone's keyboard without having it click each time you hit a key. An audible "click" or some other sound provides the user with feedback, letting them know they've done something. Turn it off if you want, bash it if you want, but understand that people in general would have a lot more trouble using devices without any form of audio feedback.

You realize you can turn off the clicking in the Settings, right?

"Very first thing I did was figure out how to turn off the damn clicking."

Umm.... yes. That's what I said.

First I want to say that this thing is great :D and then I want to say that it's awesome you guys are beginning to write alot of articles :D keep up the good work :)

That clicking noise has been something you can turn off for a long time now. It's in the audio setting on the PS3. It even has listed turn off beeps. It's sounds like a clicking but they put it as beeps I think.

LOL,..

NO!

Under Settings,Sound Settings , there a Key Tone on/off settings,. it's not called turn off beeps LMAO

Awesom-o. I might have to update my theme- Paper sketch with some sounds. Cheers!

now they got to make one with a background with motion...flash anyone?

Can you change the opening music? While I do injoy the instramental bit I would like to open it to the saliva song from the ads.

Pretty sure not. You see, that is played before you login, and themes are only applied for each account on your system. Therefore, a theme could not change system defaults, I think.

You're right, the opening theme/logo is embedded in the firmware.

actually i like the clicking sound......i turned it off (it was listed as a key tone in the sound settings) and i turned it right back on because i didn't like the silence....but whatever floats your boat

Yeah, for some reason I prefer it also. It just feels right.

Awesome... now, someone, make a program so that the Mac can create themes as well. I know that you all fear our grotesquely superior design skills, but it's no reason to keep us down, or force us to fire up windows in order to simply create a set of icons, now with sounds.

Don't hate, cohabitate.

My custom key tone sound? A guitar strum EVERY TIME.

Would be cool if you could give it a bunch of random guitar strum sounds and it does a random one each time. :)

Would be very "Every Day Shooter" ish...

was also hoping this would allow for custom guitar clicks,or i can make 8 different themes and each one instead of clickin makes the noise when u pick up a point in Everyday Shooter. CHARLY since i cant make a gazillion clicks on one theme, i will just make 8 and apply each theme accordingly to my mood.

This is great. Anyone try it yet?

I like the click tones on my PS3 but not on my PSP, it seems annoying on the PSP especially when around company

I'm only annoyed cuz they aint a Mac version... oh well, I'll just turn the click thing off or something!

I have tried this program, and managed to get 12 different wallpapers loaded in so that each time I power up my PS3, it randomly selects one. However, I tried putting custom sounds in and the theme-maker program only accepts .VAG files, which I've never heard of (none of my sound programs can convert to this format.) Does anyone know anything about this?
