View Full Version : How can I transfer themes I have downloaded onto my USB flashdrive to the PS3?
I downloaded a few themes onto my USB flashdrive,and when I go to Theme settings>Theme>Install,it says USB Device(Storage Media),so I press X, and it says There are no themes. What am I doing wrong? How do you transfer themes from a USB device to the PS3???:confused:

I'll google them, if you don't find it first.

Anyway, here it is.
Copy the file onto a detectable USB device or a one of the compatible memory sticks into the proper “Theme” folder ( \PS3\THEME )
So just copy the themes to a folder named PS3 THEME on the USB device?
Yup, if your flash drive was F:\ for example, it'd be F:\PS3\THEMES

I did that.I named the folder with the themes in it PS3 THEMES,and when I go to Theme Settings>Themes>Install>USB Device(Storage Media),it says I have no themes.I must be doing something wrong.?I should've figured this out by now.:mad:
What is the name and extension of the file you have in that folder?
KingShorty 09-26-08, 01:10 AM Did you make sure that the folder names are in all caps?
yes , the name of the folder on my flashdrive is: PS3 THEMES.
"PS3 THEMES" or "PS3" and then another folder inside it named "THEMES"?
yes , the name of the folder on my flashdrive is: PS3 THEMES.
Its two different folders man. You need one thats called PS3 and inside that folder you need another folder called Themes. Copy your downloaded themes to the themes folder.
F:/PS3/THEMES is correct.
I did that.The folder with the themes is named THEMES.I made another folder named PS3,and transfered the THEMES folder inside it.I put the flashdrive into the PS3,and it's still not working.
I know it's not the flashdrive cause I have pics on it I can look at on the PS3,and it's a Sony USB flashdrive.:confused:
The folder needs to be THEME, not THEMES
Thanks.
I would've never figured this out.:)

I would've never figured this out.:)Grimm a simple way to figure this out for the future and for any interested party. Download an image/theme/mp3 ect. and copy from the PS3 to the memory card first. Then access the card on the computer and you will be able to see how the PS3 sets up the folders to transfer the files. Then you can do it in the reverse the next time if necessary. This came up recently with a gentleman and his game save, he couldn't figure out the right folder combo to get it uploaded to the PS3. Told him to just save a different game save to the card and when he checked it on his PC he saw the right folder sets and the subsequent upload to the PS3 was a breeze. Just an FYI - going in reverse can help sometimes.
