What do you guys think? @DeViL303 @Berion @mr_ota @pinky @Cypher_CG89

Essential apps, just the essential ones to get things working properly

I consider those ones the essentials, to get ps2/psp/retro emu working and ofc the plugins to achieve the retro emulation.

Which ones do you guys think i missed? take in mind that the webman is being installed so no backup manager are needed

*Notes

The licence pack just includes homebrew rap files and apps such crunchyroll , so no piracy allowed

Very good. Maybe Movian and some emulator that doesn't have retroarch as core. Scummvm for example. The pkgi of @bucanero. Apps nopsn. Fan control from XMB would be wonderful, although I understand that it could not be limited. Greetings.

@LuanTeles Here is an idea for your getting started section, you could include a offline help section, created with the offline documentation tool that @xp3riments made. Its easy to use.

Just go HERE and input text in this format. Here is a bit of an example of what can be done:
Code:
<script type="cl" id="★ Getting Started">#Common Terms and Abbreviations
-CEX = Normal Retail Firmware for CECH consoles
-DEX = Developer Firmware for DECH consoles
-CFW = Custom Firmware - Highly Modified Firmware that can only install on SOME consoles
-HFW = Hybrid Firmware - Slightly Modified Firmware that can install on ALL consoles.
-OFW = Official Firmware - Firmware released by Sony that will install on all consoles.
-FSM = Factory Service Mode -
-Minver = Minimum dowgrade version which can be checked with MinVerChk PUP
#Recovery menu aka Recovery Mode aka Safe mode
-How do I access Safe Mode?
-1. Check that the power indicator on the PlayStation 3 system is solid red.
-2. Press and hold the PlayStation 3 system's power button for ten seconds. The PlayStation 3 system will shut down.
-3. Release the power button.
-4. Press and hold the power button for seven seconds. Two short beeps will be emitted and a message will be displayed on-screen.
-5. Press the PS button on the wireless controller to start the PlayStation 3 system in Safe Mode.
@If you can not access the XMB or the Recovery menu then your console is classified as bricked and will require a hardware flasher to fix or might not be repairable.
-What are the Safe Mode options?
-1. Restart System: Exit Safe Mode and start the PlayStation 3 system normally.
-2. Restore Default Settings: Restore all default settings and delete PlayStation Network account information. You will need to activate your -PlayStation 3 system again in order to play downloaded content.
-3. Restore File System: Attempt to repair all areas of the Hard Disk Drive (HDD) where files can be saved. If corrupted data cannot be recovered, it may be erased.
-4. Rebuild Database: Return adjusted settings to the default configuration and restore files. Messages, playlists, etc
-5. Restore PS3 System: Perform a quick format of the PlayStation 3 system memory in order to restore the system.
-6. System Update: Update the PlayStation 3 system software via a mass storage device.

More info on the tool here:

Here is more debug settings information if you wanted to add stuff like that:
https://jerem73.wordpress.com/2010/10/18/★-debug-settings/

Note: the offline JS is limited to approx 16KB.

Add this query to one of your mod xmls or category xmls to test the attached external.xml on dev_flash:
Code:
<Query
class="type:x-xmb/folder-pixmap"
key="external"
src="xmb://localhost//dev_flash/vsh/resource/explore/xmb/external.xml#external"
/>
and yes the double // after localhost is on purpose, this stops the query softbricking if the xml does not exist. This is a way to add brick resistance in the xml. ;)

This one is much better than the way i did for plugins.

EDIT: It is really nice, when i finish the 5.0 things up, and wait for the translators.

I will do this for the plugins, since i add a option to choose which plugins the user want to add, and a how to active them html entry, this tool will get things organized.

Exactly release date please tell me for PS3 Pro Mod v5.0?

I thought it would be faster, because i got some translators in minutes and now i'm stuck without any new person wanting to help me out

so i still need native ppl to translate a xml to the following languages.

Japonese - French - German - Italian - Dutch - Portuguese PT - Russian - Korean - Chinese T - Finnish - Swedish - Norwegian - Polish
