Understanding P3T Issues
Frequent P3T Opening Issues
P3T Unpacker is Not Installed
You attempt to load your P3T file and get an error such as "%%os%% Can't Open The P3T File Extension". Generally, this is experienced in %%os%% because P3T Unpacker isn't installed on your PC. The typical path of opening your P3T with a double-click won't work because %%os%% cannot make the program connection.
Tip: If you have another software that you know opens P3T files, you can select it by hitting the "Show Apps" button.
Incorrect P3T Unpacker Version
In some cases, you might have a newer (or older) version of a PlayStation 3 Theme File file that is unsupported by your installed application version. Installing the latest version of P3T Unpacker from Open Source is recommended. Your PlayStation 3 Theme File file was probably created by a newer release of P3T Unpacker than what's currently installed your computer.
Tip: You can sometimes get hints about the right program version by right-clicking on the P3T file, selecting "Properties", and looking at the version information.
Summary: Not having the right P3T Unpacker version on your computer can cause problems opening P3T files.
