=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)
{{Boxcode|code=<syntaxhighlight lang="c">
//----------------------------------------------------------------
//  default settings
//----------------------------------------------------------------
//  PS3 OSD default settings
format_endian = big // -B
pixel_order = normal // -N
pixel_channel = default // -R
image_format = rgba8888 // --image_format rgba8888
extend_edge = off
</syntaxhighlight>}}
This other group seems to be options for GIM formats used in PS3
