Languages

Description

The PS3 has multi language support, languages can be selected on XMB column and are associated with a language number code from the table below

Language settings are stored inside XRegistry.sys and are managed by sysconf_plugin.sprx/rco strviewer_plugin.sprx/rco. See Discussion page

Language Dependant Files

• The System Firmware texts stored inside Resource Container (RCO) files
• Games/Apps parameters inside PARAM.SFO as example the title (TITLE_xx)
• Games/Apps Content Information Files as example the icon (ICON0_xx.PNG)
• Games/Apps Trophy files as example the trophy configuration file (TROP_xx.SFM)
• PlayStation 3 Theme (P3T) as example the theme info under <localizedinfo>
• Audio tracks of .BIK video files (.BIK format supports 1 video track + several audio tracks, the system decides wich ones to play based in the user language). Note this number can be changed by the game and sometimes doesnt matches with the numbers used by the system
• Playstation Network, see ps4/Sony#PSN_Online_Store

Language Modifications

All modifications made to the <language>.xml files extracted from RCO's with rcomage belongs to this category

How to add custom texts

Rebug package manager example goes here

Photosensitive epilepsy text removal/replacement

Text is located in all <language.xml> files inside sysconf_plugin.rco

It can be blanked (replaced by nothing), or replaced by any other custom text and ASCII art

Code Sample

• Notes
  • To make accurate texts that fits to the screen is needed to know the number of characters in width, and number of lines in height (for every TV resolution mode ?)
  • Some experiments with ASCII art http://www.ps3hax.net/2013/04/tutorial-how-to-edit-ps3-epilepsy-warning-on-cfw/
  • VSH.self is responsible for loading the epilepsy warning screen. To disable it completely use this patch
