Some of them maybe supported
See the "paf" [[VSH Exports]], [https://www.psx-place.com/threads/custom-xai_plugin-source.12455/page-3#post-356203 psx-place talk], and [https://github.com/TheRouletteBoi/VirtualShell/blob/main/include/vsh/paf.hpp paf.hpp]


[ObjUnknown0xB]
The goal of this table is to replace the unnoficial rcomage names by the official codenames. The official codenames are used in the VSH export functions (in text format) but inside the RCO internal file structure this names in text format doesnt exists, instead of text strings the RCO structure only stores the ID in hexadecimal format based on the [[Template:RCO TOC entry types|RCO TOC entry types]]<br>
[XItem]
Rcomage uses a file named tagmap.ini intended to convert the ID (hex) value by the name (text string) when is extracting the RCO contents, and back from text to hex when compiling an RCO

=Float conversions=
A bit of background story... rcomage was made by zinga burga for PSP, at that time he had to figure the names by looking at other related text strings, he used the exact codename only in few of them, and he invented other unnofficial names based on educated guesses, but there are many innacurate names and a few unknowns<br>
Some of the values in the tables in frontpage (in the red marked rows as speculative) was dumped by rcomage as type "unk" but are "floats", for this reason rcomage didnt made the float-to-decimal conversion and appears as a hexidecimal value with the endianess swapped (bytes reversed) and the starting zeroes removed
At the initial steps of rcomage development zinga burga realized that it was posible to extract the info inside the RCO structure as an XML format (this is something sony made on purpose), but inside the RCO files there is not any XML. This is when zinga burga coined the term "RCOXML Objects" because rcomage is representing the RCO contents in XML format (and this wiki respected the term), but in the names of the VSH export function are named '''WidgetType''', in other words, we could say the table below is a list of '''Widgets''' ordered by his '''Type'''<br>
At some point kakaroto and geohot updated rcomage source code to add support for PS3 (they had to change the endianess and added definitions for a few RCOXML objects only supported by PS3 that was breaking the output) but maybe there are new objects specific for PS3 over ID 0x081F. Anyway, so far rcomage supports up to ID 0x081F (32 objects)


To make the decimal conversion you can use this web http://www.h-schmidt.net/FloatConverter/IEEE754.html
*Notes
**It seems the items ('''XItem''' 0x080C, '''MItem''' 0x080A, '''LItem''' 0x0814, '''IItem''' 0x0818) doesnt have VSH exports because are terminal objects located at bottom of the hierarchy (are always the children of a parent "list")
**The codename "Prim" seems to be inherited from PSX->PSP->PS3 and seems to be a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geometric_primitive geometric primitive]. In the PSX XMB the options availables for it was: type="rect", type="line", type="outline". It seems to be used to draw lines, frames, etc...


Example, a value '''0xa0c0''' was extracted by using the type "unk". After changing endianess manually the value is '''0xc0a00000'''. And after the decimal conversion the result is '''-5'''

=Standard object attributes=
<center>
Are used 5485 times in 4.76 PS3 firmware, most objects uses them so is the most important group of attributes and are critical to fully understand how all the other objects works. Also the way that is stored some of the "unknown" attribute values is the same used in other unknowns from other objects. in few words, by identifying this unknowns there will be a lot of other objects affected not only in the "standard attributes" but also in the "specific attributes"

==Unknown17, Unknown18, Unknown19==
*Spins confussion
The 3 are related, and stores the value in the same format (this format is also used by a lot of specific attributes of other unknowns), some examples:
**The object 0x0811 (named "ItemSpin" in RCOmage) is officially codenamed "PhNumSpin" (the name was swapped), but the object 0x080F (named "Spin" in RCOmage) has not been identifyed yet, probably is officially codenamed "PhItemSpin". Additionally there is another codename for '''PhSpin''' that is a bit confusing by now. Is not clear yet if there are 2 or 3 spin objects
**The object named '''Spin''' by rcomage has been found in official firmware using event names with the word "ispin" (a short form of "ItemSpin"):
***object2:lftv_page212_group000_'''ispin'''000 <--- this is loading another "object" so the name '''ispin''' belongs to the other object
***object2:lftv_page212_group000_'''ispin'''001 <--- this is loading another "object" so the name '''ispin''' belongs to the other object
**In the VSH exports page there are 3 exports that returns names related with spins (but one of the returned strings seems to be wrong)
***const char* paf_4C36ABBB() <-- returns "PhItemSpin" (_ZN3paf10PhItemSpin10WidgetTypeEv)
***const char* paf_CA9160F6() <-- returns "PhNumSpin" (_ZNK3paf9PhNumSpin13GetWidgetTypeEv)

Is not very usuall to see the 3 used consecutivelly (most times the first or the last stores an "0x0" or a "0x100"), but its values always increases in + 0x1000000
==Menu lists and menu items associations==
There are 6 groups of list/item associated with each other that was given consecutive IDs in hexadecimal. The fact that was given consecutive IDs means each group of list/item was implemented at the same time because requires each other (an "item" requires a parent "list", and a "list" without children "items" doesnt makes sense)
 
*The "items" '''doesnt''' have the 21 [[Template:RCO_TOC_Objects_standard_attributes|standard attributes]], '''only''' have 3 specific attributes (usually a ref/text/image). This is an easy way to identify them, by the abscense of the [[Template:RCO_TOC_Objects_standard_attributes|standard attributes]]
 
*The "lists" '''does''' have the 21 [[Template:RCO_TOC_Objects_standard_attributes|standard attributes]], followed by a variable number of specific attributes. All the lists (except 0x0804 and 0x0806) seems to use specific override attributes intended to adjust them dinamically for the different screen resolutions supported by PS3, see: [[XMB Layouts]].
 
*The consecutive ID's is a handy way to identify them, it means there is an "item" ID next to each "list" ID (or the other way around, there is a "list" ID next to each "item" ID)

==ItemsCount or ItemNum attribute from list objects==
The first specific attribute of the list objects (in other words, the attribute in position 22, located inmediatly after the 21 [[Template:RCO_TOC_Objects_standard_attributes|standard attributes]]) indicates how many chidren there are in the list. In RCOmage this attribute is named "ItemsCount" but it seems the codename is "ItemNum", this VSH exports are used to change the value dinamically to hide/show the items from a list:

=Objects with additional override attributes=
The override attributes are intended to adjust the position and size of the objects dinamically for the different screen resolutions supported by PS3, see: [[XMB Layouts]]<br>
Most of the objects definitions starts with the 21 [[Template:RCO_TOC_Objects_standard_attributes|standard attributes]] that includes 6 overrides (''positionOverrideX, positionOverrideY, positionOverrideZ, sizeOverrideX, sizeOverrideY, sizeOverrideZ'')<br>
But there are a few objects with additional overrides, all this additional overrides (different than 6 overrides from the [[Template:RCO_TOC_Objects_standard_attributes|standard attributes]]) are unknown, seems to be related with font sizes, linespaces or stuff that requires an individual visual adjustment

=ObjUnknown0xB=
The object named ObjUnknown0xB by RCOmage (ID 0x80B) seems to be a list (the parent of ID 0x80C). If this speculation is true it means it should start with the 21 [[Template:RCO_TOC_Objects_standard_attributes|standard attributes]], the attribute number 22 should indicate how many children it have (attribute name "ItemsCount" in RCOmage, or "ItemNum" in official code), followed by some unknown attributes (similar than the other list objects), and the last attributes should be [[Template:RCO_TOC_reference_types|events]], as example: <code><Name attribute="event:native:/OnFocusIn"/></code>
 
=Rcomage unknown object attributes=
*See: [[Talk:Rcomage#objattribdef-ps3.ini]]
At the time of documenting the RCO format for wiki it was posible to identify some/lot of unknown attributes, in the link there are a few of them listed as dirty notes (later was identifyed some more that are not included in the link). At this point there is no need for that dirty notes because the new names of the identifyed attributes was used in the tables in wiki, the dirty notes are just kept to have a record of the changes, and liked here because are very related with this page (needs to be cleaned up together with this talk page)

=anchorMode=
[[Rcomage]] has some problems with this attribute from PS3 RCOs, it manages the value as 4 bytes length but in the internal RCO file structure is divided in 2 chunks of 2 bytes each. The anchor mode is specifyed by the first byte of the second chunk, is unknown why sony "reserved" 2 bytes for the first chunk (first chunk is always filled with zeroes). All this is a bit confusing and what im saying could not be completly accurate because the different endianess in between PSP and PS3 and what RCOmage does internally. RCOmage allows to choose a "data type" for every attribute by editing the file objectattribdef-ps3.ini.

WidgetType[edit source]

See the "paf" VSH Exports, psx-place talk, and paf.hpp

The goal of this table is to replace the unnoficial rcomage names by the official codenames. The official codenames are used in the VSH export functions (in text format) but inside the RCO internal file structure this names in text format doesnt exists, instead of text strings the RCO structure only stores the ID in hexadecimal format based on the RCO TOC entry types
Rcomage uses a file named tagmap.ini intended to convert the ID (hex) value by the name (text string) when is extracting the RCO contents, and back from text to hex when compiling an RCO

A bit of background story... rcomage was made by zinga burga for PSP, at that time he had to figure the names by looking at other related text strings, he used the exact codename only in few of them, and he invented other unnofficial names based on educated guesses, but there are many innacurate names and a few unknowns
At the initial steps of rcomage development zinga burga realized that it was posible to extract the info inside the RCO structure as an XML format (this is something sony made on purpose), but inside the RCO files there is not any XML. This is when zinga burga coined the term "RCOXML Objects" because rcomage is representing the RCO contents in XML format (and this wiki respected the term), but in the names of the VSH export function are named WidgetType, in other words, we could say the table below is a list of Widgets ordered by his Type
At some point kakaroto and geohot updated rcomage source code to add support for PS3 (they had to change the endianess and added definitions for a few RCOXML objects only supported by PS3 that was breaking the output) but maybe there are new objects specific for PS3 over ID 0x081F. Anyway, so far rcomage supports up to ID 0x081F (32 objects)

  • Notes
    • It seems the items (XItem 0x080C, MItem 0x080A, LItem 0x0814, IItem 0x0818) doesnt have VSH exports because are terminal objects located at bottom of the hierarchy (are always the children of a parent "list")
    • The codename "Prim" seems to be inherited from PSX->PSP->PS3 and seems to be a geometric primitive. In the PSX XMB the options availables for it was: type="rect", type="line", type="outline". It seems to be used to draw lines, frames, etc...

  • Other VSH export candidates:

    • paf::PhCamera::PhCamera(paf::PhWidget *, paf::PhAppear *)
  • Spins confussion
    • The object 0x0811 (named "ItemSpin" in RCOmage) is officially codenamed "PhNumSpin" (the name was swapped), but the object 0x080F (named "Spin" in RCOmage) has not been identifyed yet, probably is officially codenamed "PhItemSpin". Additionally there is another codename for PhSpin that is a bit confusing by now. Is not clear yet if there are 2 or 3 spin objects
    • The object named Spin by rcomage has been found in official firmware using event names with the word "ispin" (a short form of "ItemSpin"):
      • object2:lftv_page212_group000_ispin000 <--- this is loading another "object" so the name ispin belongs to the other object
      • object2:lftv_page212_group000_ispin001 <--- this is loading another "object" so the name ispin belongs to the other object
    • In the VSH exports page there are 3 exports that returns names related with spins (but one of the returned strings seems to be wrong)
      • const char* paf_4C36ABBB() <-- returns "PhItemSpin" (_ZN3paf10PhItemSpin10WidgetTypeEv)

Menu lists and menu items associations[edit source]

There are 6 groups of list/item associated with each other that was given consecutive IDs in hexadecimal. The fact that was given consecutive IDs means each group of list/item was implemented at the same time because requires each other (an "item" requires a parent "list", and a "list" without children "items" doesnt makes sense)

  • The "items" doesnt have the 21 standard attributes, only have 3 specific attributes (usually a ref/text/image). This is an easy way to identify them, by the abscense of the standard attributes
  • The "lists" does have the 21 standard attributes, followed by a variable number of specific attributes. All the lists (except 0x0804 and 0x0806) seems to use specific override attributes intended to adjust them dinamically for the different screen resolutions supported by PS3, see: XMB Layouts.
  • The consecutive ID's is a handy way to identify them, it means there is an "item" ID next to each "list" ID (or the other way around, there is a "list" ID next to each "item" ID)

0x081D CheckboxItem Checkbox Menu, horizontal list item

ItemsCount or ItemNum attribute from list objects[edit source]

The first specific attribute of the list objects (in other words, the attribute in position 22, located inmediatly after the 21 standard attributes) indicates how many chidren there are in the list. In RCOmage this attribute is named "ItemsCount" but it seems the codename is "ItemNum", this VSH exports are used to change the value dinamically to hide/show the items from a list:

  • paf::PhXmBar::SetItemNum(int) not mentioned in VSH Exports page
  • paf::PhXmList::SetItemNum(int)
    • paf::PhXmList::Redraw(int)
  • paf::PhMenuList::SetItemNum(int) not mentioned in VSH Exports page
  • paf::PhList::SetItemNum(int)
    • paf::PhList::Redraw(void)
  • paf::PhInfoList::SetItemNum(int)
    • paf::PhInfoList::Redraw(void) not mentioned in VSH Exports page
  • paf::PhCheckBoxList::SetItemNum(int) not mentioned in VSH Exports page

Objects with additional override attributes[edit source]

The override attributes are intended to adjust the position and size of the objects dinamically for the different screen resolutions supported by PS3, see: XMB Layouts
Most of the objects definitions starts with the 21 standard attributes that includes 6 overrides (positionOverrideX, positionOverrideY, positionOverrideZ, sizeOverrideX, sizeOverrideY, sizeOverrideZ)
But there are a few objects with additional overrides, all this additional overrides (different than 6 overrides from the standard attributes) are unknown, seems to be related with font sizes, linespaces or stuff that requires an individual visual adjustment

  • List objects
    • MenuList 0x0809 and CheckboxList 0x081C
      • 6 overrides from the standard attributes + 3 specific override atributes (override something size XYZ ?)
    • List 0x0813
      • 6 overrides from the standard attributes + 2 specific override atributes (override something size XY ?)
    • InfoList 0x0817
      • 6 overrides from the standard attributes + 1 specific override atribute (override something size X ?)
  • Text objects
    • Text 0x080D and LabelText 0x081F
      • 6 overrides from the standard attributes + 3 specific override atributes (override something size XYZ ?)
  • Other objects
    • LevelMeter 0x081E
      • 6 overrides from the standard attributes + 1 specific override atribute (override something size X ?)

ObjUnknown0xB[edit source]

The object named ObjUnknown0xB by RCOmage (ID 0x80B) seems to be a list (the parent of ID 0x80C). If this speculation is true it means it should start with the 21 standard attributes, the attribute number 22 should indicate how many children it have (attribute name "ItemsCount" in RCOmage, or "ItemNum" in official code), followed by some unknown attributes (similar than the other list objects), and the last attributes should be events, as example: <Name attribute="event:native:/OnFocusIn"/>

Rcomage unknown object attributes[edit source]

At the time of documenting the RCO format for wiki it was posible to identify some/lot of unknown attributes, in the link there are a few of them listed as dirty notes (later was identifyed some more that are not included in the link). At this point there is no need for that dirty notes because the new names of the identifyed attributes was used in the tables in wiki, the dirty notes are just kept to have a record of the changes, and liked here because are very related with this page (needs to be cleaned up together with this talk page)

Some textures using attribute names[edit source]

The names of some images indicates the attribute names of some RCOXML objects

<Image name="tex_default_lvmeter_bg" src="Images\tex_default_lvmeter_bg.png" format="gim" compression="zlib" unknownByte="0" />

anchorMode[edit source]

Rcomage has some problems with this attribute from PS3 RCOs, it manages the value as 4 bytes length but in the internal RCO file structure is divided in 2 chunks of 2 bytes each. The anchor mode is specifyed by the first byte of the second chunk, is unknown why sony "reserved" 2 bytes for the first chunk (first chunk is always filled with zeroes). All this is a bit confusing and what im saying could not be completly accurate because the different endianess in between PSP and PS3 and what RCOmage does internally. RCOmage allows to choose a "data type" for every attribute by editing the file objectattribdef-ps3.ini. There is no way to extract the value accuratelly so the alternatives are to set it as "int", or you can set it to "unk" instead, this way it will be managed as raw data (no conversion applyed so you can see the real value when the info is extracted to XML)

  • Examples:
    • Extracted as "int"
      • anchorMode="0x320000"
    • Extracted as "unk"
      • anchorMode="0x3200"

Events notes[edit source]

  • All the attribute event names in rcomage and here in wiki contains the characters On before the event name to indicate that is an event (it helps when you are reading the xml code generated by rcomage), and because some official event strings found in OFW uses it too, but the real codenames of the events doesnt seems to have that On (the real codename is what goes at the right of the "On"). As example: the vsh export paf::PhWidget::HandleFocusInEvent(paf::PhEvent *) is related with the attribute OnFocusIn ...and... paf::PhWidget::HandleFocusOutEvent(paf::PhEvent *) with OnFocusOut
  • OnScrollIn and OnScrollOut are used in the "list" objects, the "In" and "Out" represents to move the cursor one item in the "list". The confusing detail is the "lists" can be horizontal (along X axis) or vertical (along Y axis). So it seems in a horizontal list (such the main XmBar) the "In/Out" are "Right/Left", and in a vertical list the "In/Out" should be "Down/Up" (this is just a theory based on the existence of vsh exports: paf::PhXmBar::ScrollRight(float, paf::PhEvent *) ...and... paf::PhXmBar::ScrollLeft(float, paf::PhEvent *), but has not been verifyed)
