Pinky’s PS3 Tutorials

Hey Guys,

Amazing guides as always.
I have come across a issue though and im hoping someone might be able to lend a hand.

I have been trying to my explore_plugin_full English text file to rename some of the text on my XMB.
I have dumped the .xml fine and recompiled fine... when i copy back to the ps3 and do a power cycle the changed do not display on the XMB.

Any suggestions?

there are no raps more than 16 bytes. if you have one like that, something is wrong.

that file is like a trash dumpster. there's a lot of overlap with rco files. some text isn't even used I believe, so it's difficult to know which text goes with what. that's a good one to start with though. it's the largest rco of them all iirc, so it's the most likely one to have what you're looking for if you can't find it anywhere else. what are you trying to change? it's been years since I've messed rco files, but I still have a pretty good memory of what goes with what at least from my own experiences. @LuanTeles , @sandungas, and @DeViL303 have probably messed with them more. if I don't know where the text you're trying to find is located, one of them is bound to.

Hey @pinky thanks for the quick responce

So i am just really messing with the rebug CFW to customise it for myself.
At the moment it is just silly things like the below and title of the Game section to "Games" and also the text that is in the package manager and Whats New also tried change some of the wording in the disclamer (all experimaental purposes) and remove the please wait from the insalling package screen.


<Text name="msg_tool_package_file"><![CDATA[★ INSTALL PKGS]]></Text>
<Text name="msg_tool_package_file_info">MANAGE PKGS ON PS3 OR USB.</Text>

I think the games text is in xmb_normal.rco.
Click to expand...

That contains the "Back to music screen text lines
as I say, it more just an experiment, been messing with jailbreaks for years but never really delved deep into the firmware. I will keep dumping the .rco files to see whats in them and see if I can see where to parts of the scripts may overlap.

Again thanks for the suppport and hopefully, maybe one of @LuanTeles , @sandungas , or @DeViL303 can offer up some advise/hints as well!

you're not talking about the games category text?
Click to expand...

Yeah, the header of the Games Column on the XMB, which I though was thsi part of the code in the explore_plugin_full, text file

<text name="msg_setting">Settings</Text>
<Text name="msg_photo">Pictures</Text>
<Text name="msg_music">Music</Text>
<Text name="msg_video">Video</Text>
<Text name="msg_game">Games</Text>
<Text name="msg_net">Network</Text>
<Text name="msg_friend">Friends</Text>
<Text name="msg_user">Users</Text>
 
try the system_plugin.rco . the same text is in there. I didn't write down where anything was, so I'm basing it on memory. since I was wrong about the xmb_normal_plugin.rco, I figured I'd look this time. I don't remember it being that hard to find.

@Xploiting , I'm looking for it. I've found it before. try the system_plugin.rco instead.

Looks like it, This does contain more text fields including

<Text name="msg_photo">Photo</Text>
<Text name="msg_music">Music</Text>
<Text name="msg_video">Video</Text>
<Text name="msg_game">Games</Text>
<Text name="msg_friend">Friends</Text>
<Text name="msg_enter">Enter</Text>
<Text name="msg_back">Back</Text>
 
try it and test. if it's neither of those rcos, then I don't remember. xmb_ingame I think has the text for it while you're in game which is weird why xmb normal doesn't have it.
 
That is a little strange.

Do you rememeber or know is the header in System Plugin then looks at the explore plugin and would then change the text I attempted first (changing the text displayed in the package manager folders) as that never updated dispite the changes mafe to the decomiled english_us file. So i wondered if the two were linked in any way?

alright, I got it. it is the explore_plugin_full.rco actually.
 
not sure what could've happened unless you didn't save or accidentally transferred back the original file. try saving over the original file by clicking on it when it asks what you'd like to name the rco.

Going to try a fresh dump of the roc, copy my edited text file and re compile, copy to the dev flash and see.

Thanks @pinky
 
No luck...
The dumped files contained my edited text file when checked. Re compiled and made sure filezilla asked me to override the exsisiting. Still no changes on XMB. Im probally missing something really stupid.
It is only the the US text file you have to edit right??

well, the system_plugin.rco didn't sound right since it was missing "network." I don't think not selecting zlib compression would do anything but maybe soft brick. I know that it doesn't matter with sprx in the flash, but considering that is a very large file, the file would probably be truncated while transferring, then soft brick due to chunks being missing. yes, just "English."

Well no soft brick, and when using RCOMAGE V1.9 there are no options for zlib like with the old gui version. 1.9 is a CMD style.
