Does anyone know anything about this XMB category? Shown on the GDC 2007 PS Home video.
Did it ever release in any beta? I would like to know more about it if anyone has anything.
Just a few things that I was thinking about might be interesting to someone out there. Will put a few more here when I have time.
App Home Icon behaviour :
This has always been a debate, those who like app home on the XMB and those who don't like it. The fact is it can be very useful, and with...
As there seems to be no real use for string viewer plugin, I was messing around with ideas for other uses. None of these are really that useful currently, but maybe there is some idea here that can leads to something useful.
1: Mini "game" aka interactive screensaver
2. Button tester for...
This is a bit random, but I found it kind of interesting that this is possible.
If someone did not want to install HEN, HAN or CFW for some reason, like if they are using their main console and main PS3 account and wanted to keep the ban risk to the minimum possible. Again, The only reason to...
Recently I decided to use this to add some custom items that could be used to highlight XMB text inside colored boxes:
See an example HERE.
Then @aldostools had the idea to add some colored pixels that could be used to create ASCII style art. So I added 36 new square pixels to the...
Ultimate Toolbox v2.03
This is a collection of new and old mods and patches, A lot made by myself and some gathered from all over the PS3 scene, This Toolbox makes it easier to apply lots of common firmware patches and visual XMB modifications and more.
CFW Version > 4.84-4.88 STABLE
CFW...
Here is my newest XMB menu called Ultimate Toolbox!
It was not made for HEN, But it seems to work Ok in my limited testing.
THIS XMB MOD ONLY SUPPORTS RECENT FIRMWARES UP TO VERSION 4.88.
NOT COMPATIBLE WITH 4.89 CFW/HFW

There might be some bugs, So use at your own...
Not sure what the point of this is really. Its a bit of an outside of the box idea, but maybe someone will see a use for something like this or it might turn into something someday but probably not.
Its a simple idea for a customizable restricted GUI using a PS3EXTRA type interface instead of...
★ Because I'm an advocate of open-source programs, here's the full source code of the toolbox! you can find it linked HERE ! ★
★ It will be updated alongside the toolbox too so you'll always have an updated copy! ★
I present to you a fully functional XML(XMBML) generator!

One the pkg is downloaded, it tries to install, where it gives the error 8002AE04 error, "an error occured during the install operation"... what's weird is that when i try to install the PKG from my USB/HDD it installs fine. (it's an XMB link. with the following XMBML code. what can I do to fix...
Few small things I've discovered that may not be known and are kind of interesting
This first patch I call the Brick Resistant XMB Patch. Normally when the XMB loads initially, if any of the category xmls are missing, or the icontex.qrc file is missing then the PS3 kicks you to recovery.
I...
I've started progress to create a GUI for my XML generator tool, but batch won't cut it, so i'm overhauling the code to VBS so GUIs are easier to work with. Here you can follow my progress, all current files are public at

2-10-2019: Basic GUI created (no...
I need some help with something if there is anyone out there interested and capable. :)
I happened to make a possibly interesting discovery the other day by pure chance. I was playing with whats new, and I turned on the Quick Preview option found in the context menu (press triangle on the...
This is a project i worked on over the weekend, it is based off of @DeViL303 's PS3 podcast player XMLs and allows for a person to create their own very easily without very much knowledge of XMBML coding at all!
right now all the tool can do is create a podcast directory, and insert podcast name/id/description info. not yet able to do things like add url info and such. xmls based off of @DeViL303 's podcast streamer. still a heavy work in progress.
edit: progress! it can now compile 3 temp files into...
Not sure where to put this so might as well make a thread. Check out these effects.
Subtle Pulsing effect:
I will post files and info soon, need to tidy up a few things.
There is lots to learn about rcos still, for example we could have a spinning logo on the XMB all the time or stuff like...
Just a small simple XMB mod that adds queries to the category_music.xml for podcast packages at dev_hdd0/game/PODCASTxx/USRDIR/podcast.xml
Notes: dev_blind must be enabled to install this pkg. Its compatible with CFW and HEN/HAN.
16 different podcast channels supported for now, more can be...

so I have a ps3 pkg downloader ready on the XMB screen... only issue is that packages for games don't install, after download they give the "an error occured (80010006)" error, i've tried manually installing the pkg and it works fine, was wondering what i missed, since the update pkgs (packed...
Update 02/09/2019 : Got some more experimental mods on the go now. See HERE

I have been messing with the custom_render_plugin.rco for a while, and its kind of interesting. I am not sure if this is already known or has been done before, But i have managed to...
