Pinky’s PS3 Tutorials

I'd have to look at the metadata indexer to see how prioritized content is listed. there r about 20 settings recorded in there for each content. the point in prioritizing is to list the said content at the top of ur list instead of it being listed within a folder. that's probably what sony's thinking was with creation date being the normal sorting mechanic rather than alphabetizing since it will list the latest content first.

edit: I also think the prioritizing content may be what's searched for by cma when connecting a psp or vita to the system since it won't list anything but prioritized content (only some based on the type of content). it's meant to allow u to install directly to the system or install to a connected device instead when both r options for the selected content.

I just looked at ur registory.xml. it looks correct. see if anything changes with the one I made a while back: http://www.psx-place.com/forum/xmb-modifications/alphabetical-2752-3.html#post36854

what looks like is happening is that the xml has been modified in such a way that xmb settings r being launched by another xml or that its call is within ur category.xml meaning it's not being read as a game but part of the normal xml like game data, ps2 saves, etc. u can manually change the order. it could be this that's causing the issue:

Code: 
<Query
    class="type:x-xmb/folder-pixmap"
    key="game_xmbm_hdd0"
    src="xmb://localhost/dev_hdd0/game/XMBMANPLS/USRDIR/game_main.xml#seg_xmb_hdd0_app"
    />

that's unfamiliar to me. yes, u can manually change the order, but forcing this into the sorting mechanic of the games' tier isn't possible afaik.

xmb setting is listed but not installed xml are just the original with your tutorial modification
 
oops, I meant to say that's from ur category_game.xml. ur registory.xml looks fine. there r two or three differences I see which might be associated with that cfw settings portion. it's not being read as a game but part of the games' tier. the queries inside the file (category_game.xml) go in descending order of how they'll appear on the xmb.

hi

is it possible to remove a whole XMB category like friends or tv?

I'm pretty sure this is possible, yes. I'm not sure which sprx is responsible though, but I'd assume explore_plugin.sprx since it has calls for each xml file in the xmb folder.

Yes by patching.xmb_plugin.sprx and xmb_ingame.sprx.
https://searchcode.com/codesearch/view/71925444/ here is task for mfw builder and needed offsets for manual patching. Use with caution i think that.are.old patches so is risk to soft brick.

I should've known those were the right sprx since u can manipulate the size of the main icons through its main rco xml. I should write some tutorials for hex editing sprx files as long as I have the right addresses so that people can have customized cfw.
 
[MENTION=118]kozarovv[/MENTION] ,

check this out. I patched the xmb_plugin.sprx, and this is what happens. the tier is gone yes, but there's a blank space when going over the tier:

Code: 
http://www.mediafire.com/download/ktcue8ibdckykj5/PS3~dev_blind~vsh~module.zip

this is from 4.78 rex btw. there's a dex version of the xmb_plugin as well with the same hex edits. it's weird how that patch even works really.

edit: I removed both the tv and friends' section btw.

I took a photo of it:

it still leaves a space and u can scroll over to it which I think is associated with the icons.qrc which has the exact positioning of the tiers.

yah that's why I never did like that MFW Builder patch, it just looks extremely odd
