xmbml

This might interest CFW creators, XMB modders etc. There has been a long running bug with the category_game.xml that causes the ingame xmb to be very slow to load, and also a strange effect where each time you exit and enter the ingame XMB one more icon gets added. This bug shows up when you...

Here is v1.01 of the Extended Download Plugin HEN Edition This allows any file type to be downloaded to any mounted writable partition. This will only download to dev_hdd0 properly when you have HEN enabled. This adds the required xml and icons, HEN does the rest. If you are on CFW use the one...

Simple idea for showing lots of custom information on the XMB, In this example I have added system button combos and webMAN MOD web commands, I suppose this could be used to explain HEN or complete history of PS3 hacking, anything really. :) This is only a POC, idea popped into my head, thought...

Here is v1.00 of the Extended Download Plugin installer. This allows any file type to be downloaded to any mounted writable partition. It's nly working on CFW for now as this installer includes a patched download_plugin.sprx from Rebug 4.84.2 REX. NOTE: it should work on all recent CFW, but...

This is the text included in the NSXWSV-PN.P3.IE-XMB_COLUMN_GAME.xml that gets downloaded from Sony servers and adds the Singstar item to the XMB. Somehow on the XMB it displays as: Anybody understand what is happening here? What type of magic is going on here?

Power Options for all CFW & HEN Should work universally on all CFW and HEN. New features in v1.10: Used an extended xai_plugin.sprx (videodownloader_plugin.sprx) that is signed with 3.55 keys to work on HEN. So its now universally compatible with HEN and all CFW. No changes for CFW users...

I've started work on a Rebug mod. This will be for myself mainly and people like me, who are major Rebug fans, but are not so bothered about sticking as close to official OFW as Rebug does. I am not talking about things like waves or coldboots or fonts, I will be leaving those as standard, this...

This is a simple idea I had that Kozarovv created for me to use. It uses webman updater source as a base to create an app that just reloads the XMB quickly. This actually does make a nice difference, more than you might think. I have found it very useful when I am creating mods, I get sick of...

Here is a new method i discovered for blocking each categories xil items individually, its easy to do via ftp, or any file copier. This would work on OFW too as far as i know, if you was to delete the folder with the file explorer, and then copy the dummy file manually. Basically in your...

Looking for testers for my new XMB mod. Here is CFW Toolbox v1.00 - DOWNLOAD Recommended for more advanced users at this stage. So far it is only tested on Rebug 4.82 and 4.84 and overflow 4.84, but it should be ok other recent firmwares for the most part but no promises. Here is a video of...

Made this discovery yesterday, mentioned it in XMB mods thread, but I think it deserves its own thread as it might not get seen there. Basically we can replace quite a few unused system plugins with xai type plugins very easily, I have tested this by running 3 variations of the xai plugin on my...

I've been messing with deleting unneeded stuff from the PS3's XMB xmls, its surprising how many of them are not required, especially on a banned or offline only CEX console. Removing some of this stuff is proven to have helped superslim users who were have issues with ingame XMB after adding...

Update Aug 2019: This is kind of obsolete now, there is my Advanced Power Options mod which adds a lot more functionality. See here https://www.psx-place.com/resources/cfw-power-options-v1-07.804/ Here is a small XMB mod that changes how the "Turn Off System" icon in the user category works...

For poeple using HFW4.85, check HAN Toolbox Unofficial 0.8.1 * * * HAN Toolbox v0.6 New Features: 3 versions : SuperLite / Lite / Full ; HAN Enabler, Soft Reboot and Debug Packages Enabler (CEX only) Offline codes added - thanks to @lmn7 ; New File copier (PS3 to USB &...

So I am wondering if anything interesting could be achieved with any URI calls on an OFW PS3, I know these allowed some stuff on the Vita? Just asking because I know we can get a custom xml onto an OFW PS3 that can use these calls by using a proxy? I am talking about the whats new xml, or one of...

This is a new collection of mods all combined into one "new" category, with all xmls and icons in one place on HDD. It allows for the user to choose exactly which components to install, and they can choose where to install them, and it also allows easy updating/modifying of each component...

Recently while working on a new mod I discovered a new method for downloading and installing pkgs, Its actually an old method, but I rediscovered it and learned a few new things too. Those who know the PS3 xmls may be aware of the PS Home item in the category_psn.xml. <View id="seg_home">...

Here is a quick look at a new mod I'm working on, its a Network category replacement. As you can see from the video, I have removed the 2 useless folders from the bottom of the PSN category, and moved 3 official network items over to it, then I renamed the category to "Network" (translated...
