If you haven't checked yet the newest update stops homemade dynamic themes (the one's with animated bg's) from working. The themes made with "Dynamic Theme Editor" will still work.
--This is a warning to those who make animated themes--

animated themes still work but only the ones with 30-40 frames. I know there is a bug in the 3.41 firmware and 100+ frames don't work on there.
4.0 seems to be stopping them. I think this is because they have decreased the limitations on some stuff like this as an example
Max actors - was 128 now 70
Max texture size - was 15mb now 10mb
Of course I don't know till I test this but I will figure it out. Only people with the 4.0 SDK will know for sure.
For all users of my animated themes I will try to fix and update them very soon 🙁

Oh man Glowball what a sad day with this update the 100+ animated themes stop to work. I hope that will be a way to repair our works. For other part the 3.41 firware runs the animated themes 100+ frames fine that I know, I have a PS3 on 3.41 for that reason I say that.

Well with the 3.73 was posible with extra hardware like progskeet or e3flasher but I don't know if this method is still valid on firmware 4.0. If you are on 3.55 you can downgrade to 3.41 without the use of a special hardware.

@Glowball
I forgot to edit my post but yea I realized that themes with 30-40 frames will work by applying Faxtrons sonic theme. It sucks that the 100+ frame themes will stop working but I'm sure there will be a way to get around it.

UPDATE:
I just tested the animated theme with 89 frames and it worked! I haven't found the max amount yet it could be 99! but I tested with 100 and it didn't work

By the way the 89 images were 10.9 MB

Update: It works with 90 images or 11.0 MB

Thanks for the update I had no time to test yesterday. Now I can update my themes to the new frame limit.

arghhh... :/ For some reason the new firmware only has allowed 90 images at 11 mb for me. I just resized and converted all 114 images of my theme so they come out to 11 mb but when I compiled and loaded it, it didn't work.

Yeah I thought it went by texture size too. But it goes by number of actors so for my theme type I would have 89 for the video clip and 1 for the border 🙂

Does anyone know if the maximum file size is 15 mb or is it something else?
