RE: Think you are a XMB Creator,..then try this little test.
I'm bored so I'll answer what I remember so questions seem to require some research.
Spoiler:
1) impose plugin rco
2) -130 I think
3) MF Audio
4) KM I think
5) 6 I think
6) sytem plugin rco and common gui.prx
7) 30 I think
8) opening plugin.rco
9) 20 something
10) vshctrl.prx or you can use rs's m33xever
11) a lot?
12) ^^^ does tv, ps spot, etc count?
13) Like in v1's old guide if that's what you mean? The float values should be at 200 by default I think.
14) don't remember
15) ^^^
16) like r=.2 g=.8 b=.8 ???
17) don't remember
18) ? I'm not good with maths, 42?
19) I only remember system plugin fg and opening plugin rco
20) ? I'm not good with maths, 42?
basically what I can answer from the top of my head. I think some of these questions are made for xmb gods than kings.

RE: Think you are a XMB Creator,..then try this little test.
Spoiler:
1. impose

2. -148? -168? or is it -130? Uuugh, too many defaults to remember. Its either -148 or -130.

3. Fuck if I know. I havent made custom sounds.

4. >.< why am I tempted to say kd folder?

5. 6?

6.  in system_plugin.rco its optionmenu_base

7. like...16'ish?

8. opening_plugin.rco

9. ...double you tee eff? I never use the video player! like 15 or so?

10. vshctrl.prx

11. D: Umm...lets see there is ltn from like 0-4...japanese...korean...that funny one that starts

with a b...like three others. So like 11'ish?

12. Okay, I've got this one:
6 main icons
then...
MS7
UMD8
Game Share9
Save Data10
Skype11
Locationfree12
Remoteplay13
Web browser14
RSS15
Radio16
Google17
GO!18
Camera19
1seg20
thingy that goes with 1seg21
UMD update22
Net update23
USB24
photo settings25
video settings26
theme settings27
RSS settings28
Audio settings29
Connected Display settings30
wireless settings31
Playstation Spot32
online manual33
umm...
security settings...34
LOL, almost forgot system settings35
I think that's it. So I take all those, which is 35.
time is by three (icon, shadow, and focus/icon, focused shadodw, unfocused shadow)
and you get 105 icons in topmenu

13. vertical is 200 and horizontal is...300 or 400? I'm thinking 400.

14. I know you can take out the date like that...but...I'm going to guess yes, since its all part of the same thing.

15. The Sony one :P

16. Umm....umm..... .2/.3/.8? (R/G/B)

17. I never measured it, so as a guess I'd say roughly 100 pixels

18. THIS IS WORSE THAN THE FUCKING VIDEO PLAYER QUESTION! I don't remember. All I use is the damn music player, and I just change visualizers. double you tee eff. If I said 15 for video player I'll say like 50 all together. But this is seriously a stupid question. Its like saying "how many letters are in the EULA for the PSP's Flash Player"

19. system_plugin_fg, for sure, because I always love editing the battery aimations. Opening_plugin...err...god, double you tee eff kind of questions are these. People ask me "what RCO and or PRX is ____insert thing here____ in" and I can answer right away, but who would ask this >.<. Anyway, system_plugin_fg, opening_plugin...OH, system_plugin_bg. I remember screwing with the wave model stuff there...that's all I remember off the top of my head. I'm sure that there's like one or two more but I just can't remember which.

20. 10,982
I'm surprised how much of topmenu I remember. Some of these questions are really stupid. There are people who don't even know what a non-default PSP theme is and they know how many video icons there are.

1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 13, 14, and 16 are either decent or good questions for XMB creators. The others are like...double you tee eff. I would like the answers without actually looking them up myself, though.
