**Originally (in the GimConv.cfg released by sony, intended for PS3) it was set to '''normal''' (this matches with the GIM format most used in PS3, and doesnt matches with the second most used GIM format in PS3 that needs to be '''default''').

**There is not a way to choose a default value for '''pixel_order''' that fits with the requirements of all known GIM formats, because one way or the other we are breaking some GIM files (either PSP or PS3), the solution is to override this setting in every "option" you want to use (more info below)

**In short... this change causes an small harm to PS3 GIM formats, but considering there is not really a single solution to fix this problem... is ok like this

=GimConv.cfg notes (official version)=
This is the configuration file released by sony as part of the [http://uk.playstation.com/ps3/support/settings/detail/linked235336/item85346/Download-PlayStation-3-Custom-Theme-Guidelines/ PS3 Custom Theme Toolbox]
Note there are some modifications made officially by sony at a later version because GimComv was initially made for PSP (those initial GimComv versions compatibles with "PSP only" probably didnt had this PS3 specific settings), but this public release of GimConv was released as part of a toolkit to build PS3 themes so it has some settings specific for PS3
This group at top on the config file are default settings (for PS3) that overrides other default settings of an older version of GimComv (for PSP). They are overwriting default values because the same option is specifyed before in the file, so the last one overrrides the previous one with the same name (and also was added a new option named '''extend_edge''' that should be PS3 specific)

==GIM PS3 RGBA8888 multiple images merged==
It works ! better examples later
C:\Copy of GimConv 01>GimConv.exe NOPADD.BMP YESPADD.BMP -o multiimage.gim -ps3rgba8888 --update_fileinfo on --update_userdata on --merge_mode image
load "NOPADD.BMP"
load "YESPADD.BMP"
import "YESPADD.dat" ( 13 bytes )
save "./multiimage.gim"
C:\Copy of GimConv 01>GimConv.exe NOPADD.BMP YESPADD.BMP -o multiimage.gis -ps3rgba8888 --update_fileinfo on --update_userdata on --merge_mode image -S
load "NOPADD.BMP"
load "YESPADD.BMP"
import "YESPADD.dat" ( 13 bytes )
save "./multiimage.gis"

==TM2 (PS1, PS2, PSP)==
GimConv.exe can convert and create TM2 files, see https://wiki.vg-resource.com/wiki/TIM2 you can get some TM2 samples here: http://www.ps2-home.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=81&t=1197
The conversion from TM2 to an standard format as PNG or BMP is as easy as this:
{{Keyboard|content=<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">GimConv.exe IGR_BG.TM2 -o IGR_BG.PNG</syntaxhighlight>}}
To create a TM2 mimicking the original settings from other TM2 (for replacing purposes) is not so easy because at the time of convrsion it seems are applyed some of the settings and options of GimConv.cfg
==AVI==
GimConv.exe can import AVI files that was created with compatible codecs (XVID works, IV41 doesnt), you can get a sample.avi here: http://techslides.com/sample-files-for-development
{{Keyboard|content=<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">GimConv.exe sample.avi -o sample.gim</syntaxhighlight>}}
{{Keyboard|content=<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">GimConv.exe sample.avi -o sample.gis -S</syntaxhighlight>}}
==DDS==
See: [[Multimedia Formats and Tools#DDS]]
GimConv.exe can import compatible DDS formats, there are a lot of DDS variants though (DXT based formats are supported, and cubemap 3D textures doesnt seems to be supported). Some of the more complex featurs of GimConv.exe are directly related with DDS... in other words only can be achievd by importing a DDS file that already contains the "features" that are going to be stored in the GIM... alternativelly it looks like is posible to achieve the same goal by building the GIM from other imput formats and using the '''merge_mode''' settings, this is hardcore though and needs some scripts or additionall code to manage GimConv.exe features in a automated way
Some samples here: https://github.com/Jam3/parse-dds/tree/master/test/fixtures
{{Keyboard|content=<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">GimConv.exe test-dxt5.dds -o test-dxt5.gim</syntaxhighlight>}}
{{Keyboard|content=<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">GimConv.exe test-dxt5.dds -o test-dxt5.gis -S</syntaxhighlight>}}
*Notes:
**<strike>Max number of mipmaps = 8 (otherway returns the error '''WARNING : too many image level count %s''')</strike>. This restriction can be bypassed by changing the default setting: '''limit_level_count = 8''' on GimConv.cfg
**Cubemaps not supported
