EDIT/NOTE: this is for 3.80 cf(because of some
offsets i posted),. for all other firmware's  i have learned that if you
change all "200" in paf.prx/vshmain.prx/content_browser.prx/game_plugin.prx and
msvideo_main_plugin.prx to 600(or other value's, higher is smoother
lower is faster) then your XMB is already pretty much smooth scrolled,.

Ok here is a AWESOME tutoriol how you can make your XMB smooth scrolling and cool fading

I have stickied this thread,.. its a great way to easily give a complete new look to your complete XMB


Whot will this tutoriol do:
As you know there are fading's and scroll events in the XMB this tutoriol will show you
how to easily change ALL fade and scroll settings in the XMB,..
by all i mean all value's in the prx files i tested.

For now these are the files wee gonna use in this tut:
common_gui.prx >> leave offset 5f40 to 200 else deleting picture's takes long
content_browser.prx
game_plugin.prx
msvideo_main_plugin.prx
music_browser.prx
music_player.prx
paf.prx
photo_browser.prx
photo_player.prx
savedata_plugin.prx
savedata_utility.prx
sysconf_plugin.prx

I still looking for the volume bar fade-out/in and for the video controls fade out/in(also the help meu fade in/out)
Tried almost all prx files replacing 200 and 100 but still have't found it,.?!

There is a few rules!!:
1. make a back-up of your flash0


Wee begin:

Sofar 2 bugs found:

photoplayer_plugin.prx >> 0x0003A250    leave it with 100   >> its the "%" zoom counter,. wich starts @ 100%  ;p

commengui_plugin.prx >>  0x00005f40 leave @ 200 else deleting picture's takes to long.

Wee start with changing the scroll value's, scroll value is 200

You need these files(prx files decrypted and decompressed 3.80) Download here

You need Hex Workshop Download Here

when you have Hex Workshop installed load the first prx file >>common_gui.prx

Go to "edit" and select replace a window will pop-up like the one in the picture below

now just type everything whot is in the picture,. i choose to change 200 to 1200,
    you can choose any value you want, 200 is original 2000 would be a very slow XMB

choose "Replace All"  

Now make sure you save the prx with its new value's!!

After you have done this with all prx files you do the same but
then you will replace 100 with 650, this is the fade in and fade out value.

Now that you done all 100 value's i have to tell you about a sony XMB bug,..
     sony XMB bug, yes!!
     Now that your XMB will fade-out slow from the music menu you will see some weird white/maybe also black blocks
     the reason you did not see them before is because the fade out was to fast,.
     (if you look closely on original psp you will see them)
    To fix this you have to load the content_browser.prx and got to offset :0x2C50C
    This offset got a original float value of 100 and should now be 650 because
    wee changed this offset float value too.  
    Anyway,.. if you select the beginning of the offset you will see in the left down
    corner of Hex Workshop the float value 650,.. double click the value and enter 10
    make sure you save the prx again.

Now flashing on a PSP slim is no problem because you have 16mb free flash0 BUT i have
    not tested flashing on a PSP fat yet i don't have a FAT psp with customm firmware 3.80m33!!
        If you gonna try and flashing and the files don't fit try these dic dummy files
    and font file replacement to save up flash0 space
    
    The prx files wee are using in this tutoriol are decrypted and uncompressed you can compress
    the vshmain.prx and paf.prx with Ac_K custom XMB editor but all other files i don't know if
    they can be compressed,..


NOTE: If you have changed 200 to say,.: 800 and later you want to change 800 to
       a nother value then you should know that some original value's could already been
      
      

I have tested for a few days now and i can't find any error's,. what i mean is that
there could be position's wich are 200 or 100 so you would have changed these
too but again i have not found any error's
Whot i do know is the XMB is way cool now!!
eg: fading and scolling into all screen you go into, umd animated icon fade-in and out
    lol even the busy icon fades in and out,..

If you got any problems let me know !!

Now back to my Foster's theme update!! just wanted to share this with all Custom Themer's!!

No thanks!! i was just surprised that with a few clicks you can completely change the whole XMB movement and fading,..!!

everything scrolls fades the way you want it,. only the video help menu(with the psp) and the volume bar don't show fade's!?

file one by one, hard job ;)

When i made the tutoriol i made all files scroll 200>>1200 and fade 100>>650 in less then 15min

here is the files,. modified,.. original decompressed with only the fade and scroll changed,. nice to start making a new theme with

Very nice dude!!  Its pretty sweet when you find something you can search other prx for and see quick results!  :D

This works fine,.. except,.. when you want to delete a picture you have to wait to long to go back into option menu,.

to fix this you need to change>> common_gui.prx >> got to offset 5f40 >> change float back to 200
