Information Board Widget

Description[edit | edit source]

Widgets was introduced in PS3 firmware 2.00 and was working officially up to 2.80 as a way to display dynamic web information in XMB, are very dependant and managed by the Web Browser. The only official widget was named Information Board

In firmware 3.00 was disabled, and the files related with "Information Board" was removed in 3.40 because his initial purpose of displaying dynamic web information was superceeded by the "What's New" display mode (in firmware 3.00)

  • Notes
    • XMB loads all available widgets by using the function host://localhost/q? and the subclass x-host/widget (see: XMBML Functions), and are displayed using the class x-xmb/xmliboard (but the class x-xmb/xmliboard is not used anymore and has been replaced by x-xmb/xmlnpsignup). See: XMBML Coding
    • PSP introduced widgets in firmware 5.50 (the same information board inherited from PS3). This firmware update for PSP also had some improvements related with the web browser (Internet search for games directly from the XMB, Trend Micro Web Security, and Trend Micro Kids' Safety)

Information Board[edit | edit source]

It was posible to enable or disable the "information board" widget by pressing triangle over his icon in network column. The way that are build allows to add more widgets in a modular way (but was removed instead of adding more). For an overview of how the "information board" widget was working originally see the official user manual

It seems the removal of the widgets support was made only partially (are still supported by loading the widget from external devices), so it should be possible to (re)create it, or to create custom widgets

Information Board QA Server: Off/On[edit | edit source]

Debug XMB loads the widget by using the view ID "root_info" and Query "host_provider_flash". Same than retail XMB, but debug needs this setting enabled. See: QA Flagging

xai_plugin.sprx[edit | edit source]

This file was removed, see: xai_plugin

To use xai_plugin.sprx in a different firmware version is needed to resign the file with the keys of the firmware where is going to be used. In this example is used scetool for the resigning with the "template" option and the file explore_plugin_full.sprx taken from the modern firmware

Decrypt

Type This
scetool.exe -d xai_plugin.sprx xai_plugin_dec.prx

Encrypt

Type This
scetool.exe --template explore_plugin_full.sprx --sce-type=SELF --skip-sections=FALSE --compress-data=TRUE --encrypt xai_plugin_dec.prx xai_plugin_new.sprx

explore_category_network.rco[edit | edit source]

There is a widget entry missing in the rcoxml ? (most probably a MList to create a side-menu). And the squared icon in this screenshot ?. And the text strings translated to all system Languages "Use" and "Do Not Display" in this screenshot ?

dev_hdd0/widget/npdrm/informationboard[edit | edit source]

The existence of this path is a deduction because there is other file where it can be seen this is an alternative path to load widgets. The file contents on this path is unknown but most probably are the same files used in the informationboard directory under dev_flash, so the only difference is the device (dev_hdd0 instead of dev_flash), and the npdrm signature ?

  • Notes
    • Loaded by Query "host_provider_flash" using src="host://localhost/q?path=/dev_hdd0/widget/npdrm&suffix=informationboard&subclass=x-host/widget"
      • The src XMBML code in the line above means:
        • host://localhost/q? (this is a XMBML Function)
        • path=/dev_hdd0/widget/npdrm (the path where are located the files that are going to be loaded)
        • suffix=informationboard (in this case seems to be part of the path, also the name of the widget)
        • subclass=x-host/widget (indicates what to do with the files by his type)
