Maybe it is related that I added support for languages in What's New, I will look it

@aldostools Syscall 808 (sys_fs_stat) triggers open_path_hook in xai_plugin and I'm using it, now it is working fine

Code:

system_call_2(808, (uint64_t)"/dev_flash/vsh/module/software_update_plugin.sprx", (uint64_t)&stat);

Creates syscalls 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 15 through create_syscalls()

@Evilnat I have found that Create Syscalls is not creating syscall 35 (sys_map_path).
It isn't an issue with webMAN MOD because it does not use that syscall.
However other backup managers like multiMAN or IRISMAN use syscall 35 to remap paths.

The issue could be solved moving map_path_patches from main() to create_syscalls()

Code:

void create_syscalls(void)
{
   create_syscall2(8, syscall8);
   create_syscall2(6, sys_cfw_peek);
   create_syscall2(7, sys_cfw_poke);
   create_syscall2(9, sys_cfw_lv1_poke);
   create_syscall2(10, sys_cfw_lv1_call);
   create_syscall2(11, sys_cfw_lv1_peek);
   create_syscall2(15, sys_cfw_lv2_func);
   map_path_patches(1); // create syscall 35
}

you're right has to do with the language.
I changed it to english and it works.
I use the Brazilian Portuguese language and it doesn't work

aldostools · Jul 12, 2021

@Evilnat It looks like calling map_path_patches(1); from create_syscalls() freezes the system calling again hook_function_with_postcall

Instead call this new function in mappath.c from create_syscalls()

Code:

void create_syscall35(void)
{
  create_syscall2(SYS_MAP_PATH, sys_map_path);
}

@Evilnat
then see the possibility to add the option to delete trophies like the rebug rex does

If it's on Rebug REX and not on Rebug lite, it is probably a feature related to DEX firmware. It would probably have to be implemented in a different way on a CEX CFW (if it is even possible to implement w/o DEX).

I believe there must be some means

Use a file manager or FTP client to navigate to /dev_hdd0/home/****/trophy, delete the folder(s) then rebuild the database.

To enable that option vsh.self must be replaced by vsh.self from Debug Firmware, I only have up to 4.84, I can't add that vsh.self because it can cause problems in 4.88. I don't know if it can be enabled instead replacing the file.

@aldostools We can enable syscall 35 directly in create_syscalls():

Code:

void create_syscalls(void)
{
    create_syscall2(8, syscall8);
    create_syscall2(6, sys_cfw_peek);
    create_syscall2(7, sys_cfw_poke);
    create_syscall2(9, sys_cfw_lv1_poke);
    create_syscall2(10, sys_cfw_lv1_call);
    create_syscall2(11, sys_cfw_lv1_peek);
    create_syscall2(15, sys_cfw_lv2_func);
    create_syscall2(SYS_MAP_PATH, sys_map_path);
}

I have created the last PKG with improvements: Added syscall 35 (thanks to @aldostools) while reenabling syscalls, Toggle /dev_blind and fixed What's New option (can you try it @Zwei?)

From now on I will only fix bugs that are found. Time to take a break

does not work
there may be some corrupted file
I will reinstall pup 4.82.2 and install this last pkg

aldostools · Jul 13, 2021

Here is a zip in case someone want to install manually these mods for 4.88.2 BETA that I find useful. The changes are:

/dev_blind/vsh/resource/explore_plugin_full.rco
- @DeViL303's ring icon (tex_loading_icon) to avoid the rotating animation in File Explorer
- Replaced several texts with the translated ones from rebug for Package Manager
- Replaced the text ★ app_home/PS3_GAME with ★ PlayStation
- Replaced texts for Sort by Creation Date with Sort by Title & Creation Date

/dev_blind/vsh/resource/explore/xmb/registory.xml
- Replaced sort by Creation Date with sort by Title & Creation Date
- This xml is the one that was removed from the latest release of Ultimate Toolbox by @DeViL303

/dev_blind/vsh/resource/explore/xmb/category_network.xml
- Using today's version CFW Tools menu organized a bit different

I included today's version of xai_plugin by @Evilnat to work properly with latest CFW Tools menu (install only if the installed version is older)
/dev_blind/vsh/module/xai_plugin.sprx
/dev_blind/vsh/resource/xai_plugin.rco

DISCLAIMER: I'm currently using these files. Install them at your own risk.

The "Toggle What's News" feature is also not working here. Probably the translation break something if it's working on english.

jcorrea · Jul 13, 2021

Forgot to mention @Evilnat. I think it's better to remove all translations from project and, let people create packages to install the translation they want. It will simplify your work and let people choose if they want to install other languages. I prefer to use the CFW Tools in english, because I always used the other CFW with english tools... It will also delegate the work and rework caused by translations to their respective authors.

I installed PUP 4.82.2 and the news doesn't work even in Portuguese and English it's broken.
In other words, none works

IMHO If the option is not working, it would be better to remove it, unless Nathan wants to dedicate time and energy to fix it

The correct thing to do to remove all the translations and leave only the English, I believe this fixes several problems.

I agree, although I don't think the bug is related to the translation. That's why I suggest to remove the option.

Honestly I would prefer that CFW Tools:
1- have its own XML like in Rebug
2- use static texts (english only) like in Rebug
3- use external icons instead have them in explore_plugin_full.rco

These changes would save a lot of headaches to DeViL303

I just tested here and it is working ( at least on 4.88.1 with the today's xai_plugin)

the only thing i noticed that it activated with "US" instead of "BR" as i'm using the system in brazilian portuguese

EDIT: To disable it , you need to refresh the XMB

EDIT: I found that to disable it , you need to refresh the XMB, if i remember correctly the included in 4.88.1 it disabled without the need to refresh the XMB.

Edit 2: I'm reverting back to 4.88.1 to see if it works properly in there, i remember it worked as i tested it at that time.
@Evilnat

4.88.1 works but something happened that stopped working on 4.88.2
Edit;
How do I update the XMB?
