XMB Manager Plus mod 0.23.000-mod by aldostools for COBRA!
​

This is a fork of the official XMBM+ that I originally developed for personal use on 3.55 Kmeaw.
Now I adapted the category_games.xml to work with webMAN + XMB Manager Plus on COBRA 7.0
​

[MENTION=89]aldostools[/MENTION] you wouldn't happen to have a new link to your XMBM+ mod latest??

 

[MENTION=89]aldostools[/MENTION] you wouldn't happen to have a new link to your XMBM+ mod latest??

I haven't worked on XMBM+ in a long time... these are the latest files that I have. I included the category_*.xml posted by bguerville.
http://aldostools.org/temp/EP0001-XMBMANPLS_00-XMBMANPLUS023MOD.rar

I know this is not the proper thread to post about it, but I've disabled the "syscall lock" feature in webMAN MOD that was causing issues when syscalls were disabled.
http://aldostools.org/temp/test/webMAN_MOD_1.43.25_Updater.pkg

The "syscall lock" is a random key generated by webMAN that prevents that external applications (e.g. games) re-enable the syscall8 while it's faked as disabled.
For now syscall8 will be partially disabled when syscalls are disabled, but not in a secured way. For safer access to PSN, it's recommended to fully disable all the custom syscalls (6/7/8/9/10/11/35/36/38/etc.) or use SEN Enabler or PSNPatch.

I couldn't help but smile when I read your latest posts about XMBM+ & Cobra CFW Tools.

FYI aldo's latest mod was already in the zip I posted with XML files. It doesn't matter anymore...

Looking forward to your releases.

Hey sorry yea most if not all my projects are out of date, hopefully tonight I'll be getting Cobra CFW Tools up to date to where you could use it to install the latest XMBM+ on the most current of CFWs (latest REBUG included) for now. I do have alot of ideas/plans to do other updates.

Just do an option to keep both PKG managers please. Only Rebug's actually hides my PSP/PS1/Vita bubbles I leave for easy transfer to my Vita/PSTV and for the love of God leave out app_home while keeping full capabilities with aldos mod-mod for mysis extras papapaplease.

Edit: didn't get to it tonight as I passed out and slept all afternoon/evening, I 'll have another go at it tomorrow after work, sorry guys

 

Thanks Aldo

Btw I know it pisses some people off but I would prefer to keep app_home personally. Sure I hardly ever use it but I have needed it from time to time, even quite recently.. That's my take on it anyway.
As for the rest I agree with [MENTION=7]atreyu187[/MENTION].

At the same time we can edit the xml if required so maybe the focus should be on noobs who wouldn't know or dare to do that?

there's always a possibility to add the option for either, and what [MENTION=7]atreyu187[/MENTION] said is close to way I'm going (close )

Cool, looking forward to it

 

You know when you go to delete packages or files it says "Unlink" in rebug package manager and XMBM+, always kind of annoyed me, I know its only a small cosmetic thing, well if you edit explore_plugin.sprx like this one (this one is for 4.46 habib) then it looks like this:



So its a little better

Maybe [MENTION=89]aldostools[/MENTION] you can include this minor tweak in your new version someday if you decide to release a new version.

I still don't how to get rid of the second delete option..

Possibly change it to

• Delete (Folder)
• Delete

 

u can do as such with the category_game.xml. there's a section for deleting content. unlinking is supposed to delete folders as well, but I don't believe it's a part of rebug.

• Delete (Folder)
• Delete

Could do that too. thing is both options will delete files and folders so its not really technically correct.

I see, Can all of the system be browsed and any file type deleted using the category_game.xml method? Rebug has unlinking in the package manger delete package files section.

technically both options do the same but the way I suggested would just replace Unlink with Delete and leave Folder as in original options

I dunno about any file, but probably not. the delete folder option is likely done from category_game.xml though. I think the system is lumping both unlinking and unlinking folder together since the delete segment is all together.

edit: suffix=.pkg may be the key to deleting a folder. perhaps dropping that, so it doesn't just delete that extension?

Yeah your right I think , 2 deletes just look weird anyway

THIS is what is really needed:

Should be able to make one of the other copy functions see all file types, But I have no idea how to do it , the picture is just a mockup


Here is an explore_plugin.sprx from Rebug 4.76.1 ive modded to have the delete function looking like this if anyone wants it:

XMBM+MOD can already delete any file from anywhere , all from the XMB.

 

I'm not sure what xmbm+mod is.
