RCOXML files are the XML descriptor files implicit inside [[Resource Container (RCO)]] files (.rco)
An RCOXML file is a XML file that represents the contents of a RCO file. This RCOXML files doesnt exists inside the RCO file (are just a representation of it). In the compilation enviroment used officially by sony this RCOXML files "should" work as a "pre-build" layout, contains all the info and settings needed to build an RCO file


This RCOXML files doesnt exists inside the .rco container, tools like [[Rcomage]] extracts the info as XML as a representation of the data inside the .rco container
Tools like [[Rcomage]] generates this RCOXML files that can be used to rebuild the RCO, or to build a custom RCO from scratch, this RCOXML files generated by rcomage "should" be pretty similar to the officials because all the info is based in the TOC area of the RCO that is structured as an XML so the conversion from TOC to XML format is direct (also, rcomage adds some info for rebuilding purposes that is not part of the TOC), see [[Resource Container (RCO)]]
 
{{RCOXML contents PS3}}
Are composed by tables, some of this tables works simply as an index of the contents inside the container (texts, sounds, languages), and others tables contains "pages" that builds the XMB items, animations, effects, dialog menues, selection windows, widgets, etc...
 
Note the name "page" here in wiki is used as a generic name for all types of pages, rcomage uses specific names for some types of pages wich purpose was identifyed, this names can vary between different versions of rcomage tool

Description[edit | edit source]

An RCOXML file is a XML file that represents the contents of a RCO file. This RCOXML files doesnt exists inside the RCO file (are just a representation of it). In the compilation enviroment used officially by sony this RCOXML files "should" work as a "pre-build" layout, contains all the info and settings needed to build an RCO file

Tools like Rcomage generates this RCOXML files that can be used to rebuild the RCO, or to build a custom RCO from scratch, this RCOXML files generated by rcomage "should" be pretty similar to the officials because all the info is based in the TOC area of the RCO that is structured as an XML so the conversion from TOC to XML format is direct (also, rcomage adds some info for rebuilding purposes that is not part of the TOC), see Resource Container (RCO)

RCOXML contents PS3 firmware 4.76 (122 .rco files)  ·

MainTree[edit | edit source]

All RCOXML files starts with the tag: 

	<MainTree name="label">

MainTree represents the root of the container, so it seems the label is the name of the .rco container and is working as an identifyer of it

  • Is unknown how this labels works and his purpose, but follows a few rules:
    • The same label can be used by several .rco's that shares functions
    • This label names doesnt appears in the associated .sprx
  • Other .rco files from previous firmwares (not present in latest firmwares) using the MainTree name sample
    • xai_plugin.rco
    • In PSP firmware there are also some .rco files using the MainTree name sample

VSMXFile[edit | edit source]

None of the PS3 rco's uses a VSMXFile. But some PSP .rco's uses it

  • rough explain of how it works
    • The purpose of this script is to communicate with the associated module/sprx, the code inside the script is PlayStation JavaScript based (see also VSMX format) and it can call functions with parameters from the module/sprx. It works as a simple way to store predefined actions for the .sprx inside the .rco with a bit of code control involved. The RCOXML Objects captures the button presses from the controller and based on them loads the script using the buttons as parameters, then the code inside the script is processed and triggers the .sprx
    • An script can contain several different actions (are actually .js code functions) and his names are the same than the action names used in RCOXML Objects, as example: OnFocusRight (action triggered when moving right in the controller)

ImageTree[edit | edit source]

FontTree[edit | edit source]

Only used in PS3, only used in sysconf_plugin.rco and hknw_plugin.rco

TextTree[edit | edit source]

ModelTree[edit | edit source]

None of the PS3 rco's uses a ModelTree

SoundTree[edit | edit source]

ObjectTree[edit | edit source]

  • in this page under the section "ObjectTree" are explained what seems to be a few golden rules related to:
    • object display priority
    • children objects inherited attributes from parent object
