All done!
For users that aren't on debug, using either multiman or anytype of homebrews that can rewrite dev_flash, read this :
For multiman you want to run multiman, go to the second tab in multiman and keep scrolling down until you see : REWRITE DEV_FLASH or something like that. I cannot show a screenshot at the moment but I will once I get back to it!
Please thanks if this helped you because this took me about 30 minutes to write and screenshot. Video does NOT belong to me, it belongs to the channel owner and you should like the video and thank him too
Thanks!

If I'm not wrong, yes. Although from what I know I don't think the "Game" tab would probably in the same .xml as "category_friend.xml", I'm thinking it would be in the xmb one? Just have a look around and tell me how you went
