==XMB icons removal==
Samples: https://www.sendspace.com/file/e822dp
*[[Rcomage]] usage notes:
**dump resources raw, without conversion (unmark all the checkboxes)
**compile using zlib header compression (mark the zlib checkbox)
===Main XMB icons removal===
Extract the contents of: '''[[xmb_plugin_normal]].rco'''
*In the .xml file that represents the .rco structure (aka [[RCOXML Coding | RCOXML]])
**Locate the tag '''XMenu''', is composed by a long list of attributes, locate the attribute '''menus="0xa"''', it defines the number of columns in main XMB (there are 10 main icons for 10 columns in [[XMB]])
***Replace the value of '''menus="0xa"''' by the number of main icons you want in XMB (this number depends of how many you are going to remove)
**Under '''XMenu''' there are several '''XMList''' elements that works as the descriptors of the 10 icons in main XMB
***Delete the '''XMList''' line/s that defines the icon/s you want to remove
Sample for 4.70 firmware ---> https://www.sendspace.com/file/0libpe
===XMB In-game icons removal===
The process is the same with the file '''[[xmb_ingame]].rco''' but this .rco contains the icon images, so for every icon removed at code is good to remove the icon image, is not needed to remove the images but this will make the final size of the .rco smaller


*Under '''ImageTree''' there are several '''Image''' elements that works as the 10 icons in main XMB
**Delete the '''Image''' line/s that defines the icon/s you want to remove

XMB icons removal[edit | edit source]

Samples: https://www.sendspace.com/file/e822dp

  • Rcomage usage notes:
    • dump resources raw, without conversion (unmark all the checkboxes)
    • compile using zlib header compression (mark the zlib checkbox)

Main XMB icons removal[edit | edit source]

Extract the contents of: xmb_plugin_normal.rco

  • In the .xml file that represents the .rco structure (aka RCOXML)
    • Locate the tag XMenu, is composed by a long list of attributes, locate the attribute menus="0xa", it defines the number of columns in main XMB (there are 10 main icons for 10 columns in XMB)
      • Replace the value of menus="0xa" by the number of main icons you want in XMB (this number depends of how many you are going to remove)
    • Under XMenu there are several XMList elements that works as the descriptors of the 10 icons in main XMB
      • Delete the XMList line/s that defines the icon/s you want to remove

XMB In-game icons removal[edit | edit source]

The process is the same with the file xmb_ingame.rco but this .rco contains the icon images, so for every icon removed at code is good to remove the icon image, is not needed to remove the images but this will make the final size of the .rco smaller

  • Under ImageTree there are several Image elements that works as the 10 icons in main XMB
    • Delete the Image line/s that defines the icon/s you want to remove
