I'm just wondering what other folks have figured out so far. As is mods that run stable with out crashing PS3. So far I've managed the following with PS3 USB Custom Firmware Loader and RCOMage:
1. To swap categories in XMB all around
2. Edit nearly all text these kinds of as class names errormessages, warnings, explanations etc
3. Also eliminate any of the crappy broadly unused icons , eg life with playstation, memorycard utility ps2 .
These are relatively simple mods carried out with rcomage and notepad.
1. Swapping categories about is as straightforward as remaning category XML files in \dev_flash\vsh\resource\explore\xmb eg. swap names on category_songs.xml with class_photograph.xml and the categories will swap in the XMB
2. Editing on display text is as straightforward as extracting RCO file with rcomage, go into text folder, open English.xml and edit the entries you want, eg
Code:
Adjusts settings for video games.
Video Settings
Put simply the entry "msg_game_setting_explanation" is the firmwares way of asking for the message to be displayed, depending on language selected on your PS3 it looks to the corresponding xml, in the case my PS3 is set to English its the english.xml it reads so it displays on screen the message "Adusts settings for games". We can justy edit any of the language xmls to display whatever we want onscreen.just edit, recompile with rcomage and replace in your usb firmware files.
3. Deleting icons is fairly simple too , Browse to \dev_flash\vsh\resource\explore\xmb and open any of the category.xml files with notepad , then just edit out references like this after Where it says
Code:
The entries starting with query are the ones to delete
Code:
class="type:x-xmb/folder-pixmap"
key="seg_gamedata"
src="#seg_gamedata"


/>
class="type:x-xmb/folder-pixmap"
key="seg_mcutility"
src="#seg_mcutility"
/>
class="type:x-xmb/folder-pixmap"
key="seg_sdpsp"
src="sel://localhost/minis?category_game.xml#seg_sdpsp"
/>
class="type:x-xmb/folder-pixmap"
key="seg_sdps3"
src="#seg_sdps3"
/>
These examples are from sport class menu, gamedata , memorycard utility, conserve information psp and so on...
Everyone figured out how to add new icons still?
A lot of thanks ZiNgA BuRgA for Rcomage 1.1.1 , outstanding plan. Attached below is his newest edition but with updated ini files I put in that I obtained of his website so its a small bit much more up to date.
