PS3 Help regarding how to remove explanation text in settings tab

[jessercat]

Hello, I am trying to replicate a pre 3.xx firmware look and the last thing i need to do is remove the small explanation texts under the settings options and ive been decompiling rco files and nothings working. Anyone know what the problem could be?

for reference, this is what im trying to achieve.

Probably you need to edit the text in sysconf_plugin.rco

rcomagegui to extract the text and compile the rco after the edition.

I couldnt find lines for the explanation for the actual setting choices themselves but i was able to find explanation text for a setting in the date and time settings and im not sure if i did it right at all because now my console freezes whenever i try to even click date and time settings.

These strings are in category_setting_plugin.rco, you can try yo blank all of them. The best method to check if are working fine is to use RPCS3

Please test the file I uploaded, it is from 4.92, I don't know what FW are you using but you can check it and do it yourself as you please

I have completely modified the GB and US files, choose your language and do the same

I'm glad it was useful to you

You need to use rcomage/rcomagegui to unpack the RCO file, edit the language XML and re-compile it again

Basically to disable the explanation or any text, search for the string and remove the entire line inside > and < characters, like this:

<Text name="msg_update_explanation">Updates the system software on this system.</Text>

Replace it with: <Text name="msg_update_explanation"></Text>
