PS3 XMBPD v0.60.000 - The XMB Homebrew Store by DeViL303 keeps evolving ...

XMB modding has been a hot topic in the PS3 community lately and something that many including myself would like to see more of, As the XMB is still a very useful and intuitive menu system, as we see many applications clone still to this day. Developer DeViL303 has been known for many of his XMB Mods over the years, some of his more recent works include webMAN LaunchPad & XMB Package Downloader or simply XMBPD. As we seen weeks ago DeViL303 announced a complete overhaul to XMBPD ("The XMB Homebrew Store") allowing for more flexibility and features while also removing some restrictions , Since the changes to XMBPD we have seen the progress in this thread with some interesting discussion as the dev has yielded some feedback on the project to gauge a path for the future, which has helped as DeViL303 shares the latest version of XMBPD (v0.60.000) for REBUG 4.80.1 CFW ONLY.

Since our last report on this project, there has been a new wallpaper category with some new features and eye candy surrounding wallpapers, New icons have been used in XMBPD thanks to the contributions of psx-place contributor Berion that really give this release a clean look (as seen in the included screenshots). There is alot more changes and notes about this update of XMBPD v0.60.000​

  XMB Package Downloader (XMBPD)
  By DeViL303
  ​
  
  NEW -- XMBPD v0.60.000 Rebug 4.80.1 Only
  
  • Added a new category for wallpapers, with 9 sub categories.
  • All wallpapers with local preview icons.
  • The wallpaper/background will open in the webbrowser and then you can press triangle and go to "File>Save Image". Then you can exit the browser and go to the Photo category to set it as a wallpaper.
  • There are 2 hidden wallpaper categories commented out, I have commented them out as a form of parental control, if you can FTP and edit the main xml to uncomment them then you are probably to old enough to view them.
  • Added a new settings category for wallpapers.
  • Added Webman 1.45.00 pkg and changed the title to 1.45.XX (as it is regularly updated I have it named like this now).
  • Also added WebMAN Mod to the Tools section as it has so many uses.
  
  
  the wallpapers category will show 100 items per category by default, you can increase this, once you go over 200 though you might notice missing icons as you move around through the categories more, that's why I have labelled settings above 200 as "experimental" for now, Just so you know, If icons start to go missing inside XMBPD you will need a reboot. Its probably RAM issues due to so many items. (over 7000 when set to max)
  ​

Cheers, its been a team effort

I think there is still a bit of instability in the pkg handling code, and sometimes it doesnt install, not very often though,.

My systems get wiped fairly regularly so they are very clean, no other plugins really, not many apps, so it is good to get some real world feedback from others, thanks. Hopefully by version 1.00 we can sort out these issues and have it running 100%.

If the auto install is going to give problems for lots of people I will make "Download Only" the default setting, or maybe even remove the auto install setting, we will see.

 

Yes you can use the installer to revert to previous state, go to backups when in the installer. Or you can find your individual backup files @ /dev_hdd0/game/XMBPDWMLP/USRDIR/backups/xxxxx



Yes that would be best, use the v0.31 installer to revert to standard XMB or restore a backup. Then install this version. You can still use that installer for Launchpad if you want. (I will get around to releasing a new Launchpad installer soon.)

Thanks that is what I needed to know. Wasn't sure if individual files were kept or the backups were in a container of sorts. Amazing work as usual now to get home get it setup properly and get webMAN mod 1.45.00 configured since it all changed. As soon as I installed it fan on my CECHB went dead silent.

 

hi, i am on rebug 4.80 and i have webman mod full edition... but if i install the pkg... nothing appen! why? what i wrong?

Hi, after installing the package you should have an icon for XMBM+ in your game category underneath package manager, inside there you should find XMBPD at the bottom. Im not sure why its not showing for you..

Only thing i can think of is Its possible you have used an other mod or app that could have modified your category game xmls so XMBM+ doesn't show.

A lot I am sure we're still used to it being in the network category I'm sure. You know must don't read the readme's and documentation LOL but I keep getting error 400 trying to download anything. I'm stumped. Any idea why this happens?

Yeah i hope to get it back into the network category at some point as I think it makes most sense there (as well as inside XMBM+ maybe).

The error 400 is most likely due to you not having the FULL version of webMAN MOD (Must be 1.43.36 or higher). Hold L1 until back on the XMB when installing WMM.

I have full with PS3mapi installed. Should I do normal full vanilla?

There is only one Full Edition of wMM. PS3MAPI is included in various editions so you can't use that as a pointer really.
It's called webftp_server_full.sprx in the updater pkg or on github & its size is 160kb, install it manually if you are not sure..

 

Possibly this week I'll get some time to put this on my PS3 and play with it, but I've gotta Vita that I have to rehook up the back touch panel (I wonder how that happened little cuz)

 

if someone wants to eliminate xmbm+ with xmbpm how to do ??

I held L1 as I'm supposed to bud. Not that big of a boob then again I haven't turned on my PS3 in a month or so LOL

To remove XMBM+ (and XMBPD), Just go to Game Data Utility and delete the XMBM+ game data, then reboot and it will be gone.

If you want to keep XMBM+ and ONLY remove XMBPD then you can delete the XMBPD.xml and the XMBPD folder from dev_hdd0/game/XMBMANPLS/USRDIR/FEATURES/ and then reboot.

So after lurking for so long I had to sign up just to say that this is a fantastic piece of software. Keep up the amazing work @DeViL303.

Thanks for the kind words. Im just working on update v0.61.00. Should have it done over the weekend.

 

XMBPD Update v0.61.00 now available to download from the XMB if you have this installed already.

To update, go to the Game category > XMBM+ > XMB Package Downloader > XMBPD Setup > Update XMBPD > Then Reboot.

Changes:

• All Download Items now have individual icons.(see pics, I know they are squashed but its better than nothing right?)
• Added LOTS of new items to the Retro Section, Big thanks to @Phil for doing those and also for adding icons to them.
• Added a "Homebrew Games" category, Just one entry so far, Flappy Birds Family. I plan on adding more soon though.
• The Package Handling Settings and Style Settings no longer need to download any pkg to be changed, it is now done via local pkgs instead = much faster to change, and can be done offline.
• Added a few more packages.
• Few small cosmetic changes, to the note item, credits, category order etc.
• Fixed bug where the wallpaper settings would revert to default when updating or changing package settings.
• Updated the wMM and prepNTFS pkgs to the latest versions available right now.

Spoiler

EDIT: Ignore this bit below and see aldos post under mine. You can get the full package from brewology instead.

Quick note ONLY for users who have not already got XMBM+/XMBPD installed already: To install this update you need to have XMBM+ aka xmbextras (from @aldostools)installed first, and a recent version of webMAN MOD FULL edtion (also from @aldostools), Then you can update XMB Package Downloader to this version and future versions from the XMB, just follow the steps above.

This is still for Rebug users only but if there is any interest it would be easy to make an installer for standard CEX FW, it is fully compatible, just needs the XMB entry adding to the FW.

To add XMBM & webMAN icons on CFW that don't have them, just replace category_game.xml with this file in /dev_flash/vsh/resource/explore/xmb

 

It looks better & better.... And I really like the individual icons. Really neat. [emoji5]️
IMO this is quickly becoming a must have, same as webMAN-MOD!

Question: I see that link is from the WMM USRDIR folder, So when WMM Full gets installed on normal CEX CFW does it add the XMBM+ query aswell as its own query? That would be very handy.

The wMM updater does not edit the category_game.xml. It replaces it by the one in USRDIR if the situation warrants it.
This replacement category_game.xml does have a xmbm+ node indeed but it is only installed if the string "fb.xml" is not found in the current category_game.xml. It's a simple way to find out if the current file can display the webman entries on xmb.
