rcomage innacuracies, mistakes, bugs, or unsupported rco specifications

Rebuild verification

There is an easy way to verify if the building methods used by rcomage are exactlly like the ones used officially by sony, it basically consists in rebuilding an official rco, the hashes of the original and rebuilt .rco should match exactlly... in other words, after the rebuild the .rco file should be exactlly like the original

  • Requirements for this to work
    • the files needs to be extracted in "raw" format (if using "rcomage gui" in the DUMP tab uncheck all the checkboxes for GIM, VAG, VSMX)... long story short this is to avoid mistakes with the conversors
    • the rco TOC (aka what rcomage names "header compression") needs to use the same compression method than the original (if using "rcomage gui" in the COMPILE tab choose the correct "header compression" from NONE, ZLIB, RLZ)
      • rcomage doesnt keeps a record of this "header compression", so the way to identify it is by opening the original .rco in a hexeditor and check the value stored at absolute offset 0xC. See Resource Container (RCO)

This method is specially usefull with the .rco files that doesnt have "header compression" because is easyer to find the differences in a hexeditor, oldest PS3 firmware .rco's (like the ones in firmware 1.02) are not compressed

official dummy language string pointers not managed by rcomage

Found in xmb_plugin_normal.rco firmware 1.02 (and probably most others using language text strings, is just in this one is more obvious where the problem happens)

RCO format version 0x55 (used by PSP firmware 0.6.5)

PSP firmware 0.6.5 uses a primitive version of the rco format, this is an example of the rco header (first 0x94 bytes) of system_plugin.rco, most notable change is the header is smaller (so is missing some areas for features that was not implemented yet). I dont plan to look for all the changes but this little example hopefully will show what areas are missing to have an overall idea of the order of how features was implemented in the rco format. This version of the rco format is not compatible with rcomage... but it should by deleting the "unknowns" in the definitions of the source code (lines 51 and 76 of rcofile.h) then compile it (not tested, other errors can happen but this should work) the idea doesnt works, compiler returns other errors http://paste.ubuntu.com/23207840/

Original header (remember PSP uses little endian so some bytes are swapped)

  • changes
    • Added the 4 unknown languages (Polish, Portuguese_BR, English_GB, Turkish)
    • Added "two-digit" language code before name, and language variant after name
    • Changed names for variants of English_US/GB, Portuguese_PT/BR, and Chinese_T/S
    • Changed commented languages to "two-letter" language code, from explore_plugin.sprx
    • Fixed "Portugese" typo

tagmap.ini

This file defines the names of the tags used in the XML descriptor at the root of the .rco

Only 2 unknowns: 

[Object]
ObjUnknown0xB
ObjUnknown0x1B

animattribdef-ps3.ini

This file defines the names of the animation attributes used in the XML descriptor at the root of the .rco

Only 5 unknowns. It seems that unknownInt5, unknownInt6, unknown7 has been implemented with rco 2.0 format specifically for PS3 (not supported in PSP). The others for lock/unlock existed before in rco 1.0 format (supported in PSP) 

[MoveTo]
unknownInt5 = int
unknownInt6 = int
unknown7 = unk

[Lock]
unknownInt0 = int

[Unlock]
unknownInt0 = int

objattribdef-ps3.ini

This file defines the names of the object attributes used in the XML descriptor at the root of the .rco

onInit, onPush, buttonPush, btnClick, onButton, onLoad... sometimes are used as a generic "run" command and can replace any of the other events (as example on some menues of xmb settings column when moving right is taken as a push) so is hard to identify the official name that are replacing. For this reason the list here keeps some counters of how many times have been found in official firmware. The counters works as a justification of why some names has been changed based in the number of times used

onPanelCommand seems to be an special event that can replace some of the standard events (used as a Button attribute)

Standard object attributes

; -- BEGIN STANDARD POSITION DEFINITION --
onLoad           onInit <---------- used 5485 times in 4.76 firmware, most with "OnInit" or "nothing"
; -- END STANDARD POSITION DEFINITION --

Specific object attributes

[Page]
onInit        <------------- used 625 times in firmware 4.76. Around 607 onInit, 18 onOpen
onContextMenu onContext <--- better to use a more generic name because "onContext" is used in several other objects and is technically the same event for all them

[Button]

[XMenu]
onEnter        onPush <---- used 2 times in firmware 4.76. Both onPush
unknownEvent28 onCursorMove
onLabelLoad    onScrollIn <---- official name
unknownRef32   onScrollOut

[XMList]
unknownRef3    text

[XList]
onMove        onCursorMove <---- official name (is the same, but this way matches with the others)
