Video: PS3 Homebrew Channel for XMB on Custom Firmware

[dynmosaic]

Didn't work for me either. I thought I'd reboot the console and see if that fixes it and it's deleted the directory.

The dir wasn't there to start with so I had to make it, then I renamed it to add AU as I'm in Australia and still nothing.

If there is only 3 homebrew its not that interesting atm anyway. No loss.

It's in the tmp directory for a reason, I'm hoping that a better solution will come along, I would consider this to be a dirty solution at best.

It also has something do with the db.xml file. I tried to add the entry for the proposed directory name, it's working, however, it somehow hide some of the default ones. I'm not so sure what's the reason, probably not understanding what's scode means.

<slot dir="63431946571433990" file="NSXWSV-PN.P3.CA-WHATSNEW00000001.xml" last="Thu, 03 Feb 2011 18:12:11 GMT" recv="63432457399377695" scode="304" sdate="63432457399922452" url="https://nsx.sec.np.dl.playstation.net/nsx/sec/Xz78TMQ1Uf31VCYr/c/NSXWSV/NSXWSV-PN.P3.CA-WHATSNEW00000001.xml" />

Also, in the same token, one could add other web address in the same way as proposed, it's not hard at all.

Maybe someone knowledgeable could create a program to auto insert to this tmp location.

Great work, an easy way to download new homebrew if it works

The hack to the XML to have a "PS3 Homebrew Channel" directly in the XMB is nice. But the current web page doesn't offer much and IMO it is not attractive to eyes.

Maybe it will worth the hassle when a better looking site is provided with more and better content...

good program, it's very easy and very helpful.. thank ya

[Deeluxe]

Any idea how i can make it run on my ps3 ? Im from Bulgaria (BG), but when i renamed it didn't work again.

[hffhff]

With respects to you for offering your time on this project, maybe yourself or someone can create an open-source app that installs on VBulletin giving members a portal for Homebrew.

Maybe a secure port number and connection, so it can be added to the trusted zones. Just a thought.
