(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Hello, its ES35 with another amazing post.
Today i will show/tell/describe/inform YOU how to make your very own custom "What's New" Channel. You Use YOUR logo, YOUR Code, to make YOUR own channel. Thats what im about, power to the people.
Lets getta rolling
first off let me tell you that the channel is writen in XML and does not require any downloads. (assuming of course your jailbroken and have a ftp server installed on ps3 and computer.)
Now to tell you a little more about this, you can do this to any of the slots in whats new except from recently played. (well you can but not doing it this way, but we will get to that later)
Another cool thing is that the title of it get displayed in the top right hand corner of the XMB! See the scrolling text.. ya your channel name will appear there.
Now..
So load up a ftp server on your ps3 and on your computer.
on your computer, go to
dev_hdd0/tmp/explore/nsx/
now click the very top folder. the name of this folder is different for different people in different regions.
you should only see 1 xml file. copy that to you computer.
Editing..
open up your xml and take a look at it. i used notepad to do this but you use what you want.
now go to this it is close to the start of the file:
    <spc rep="t" multi="o" id="33537" anno="">

You should see something like this(notexactly alike) right after(like a few spaces after):
<mtrl anno="picks=1" lastm="2010-11-22T22:49:04.000Z" until="2308-01-01T00:00:00.000Z" from="2008-01-01T00:00:00.000Z" id="1080470462">
