Elven Wrote:it's me again :D i just discovered that many of the 2.50 RCO work under 3.03 :) I'm translating psp xmb to polish (replacing the french language, just to leave the english one and have polish as an alternative, and i do not know french anyway :D)
up to now i translated:
sysconf_plugin.rco - some strings missing though, especially in System Settings but its passable :)
system_plugin.rco - works fine with no problems
topmenu_plugin.rco - that hacked version, so it's ok
photo_plugin.rco - works with no problems
video_plugin.rco - works with no problems, applies only to UMD-Video though, there is another one for mp4...
savedata_plugin.rco - seems to work fine

Wow, nice!
Though, yeah, a few of them cause problems/crashes.  Like sysconf, because there's missing resources when the PSP tries to find them.

Elven Wrote:and i have one bug report for you:
i was editing the french language in photo_plugin.rco and when i choose msgphoto_folder_info_image_limit variable, i get an error: "Subscript out of range" and the app exits. (just tested it again and its the same in english, no matter is it clean, or edited rco) after the app exits the file gets some additional bytes (it gets 274 kb) and it does not work on the psp. so for now i do not have the question about wallpaper overwriting translated, as changing it, gets me automatically to the msgphoto_folder_info_image_limit and breaks the rco

Hmm, I just noticed that   Dang, didn't know some text were just blank, but, nevertheless, I still need to make my program handle blank text resources.  Fixed already, so you'll get this change in the next release :P
Thanks for finding this out!

Elven Wrote:and are there any major differences between 2.50 and 2.60 rco?

Not really.  Just some people customized 2.60 RCOs instead of 2.50 RCOs - so I added the feature for compatibility.
The advantage of the 2.60 RCO is that the header is compressed, so it's slightly smaller than the equivalent 2.50 RCO.

Elven Wrote:oh and the trick with sorting the icons in explorer does not work as the bmps (8 and 32) get mixed anyway :) instead I'm "searching" for files with "32" in the name to get all the 32-bit bitmaps into separate folder.

You can use a batch file, for example, if you just want 32bit BMPs:

1. Extract everything to a folder
   
2. Open Notepad
   
3. Copy the following
   

   Quote:del *.8bit.bmp
   del *.mig
   del *.dat

4. Save the file in the same folder as all the extracted stuff, and name it d.bat
   
5. Run d.bat
   

Elven Wrote:there are still some issues with extraction though (i often get the images with gray background (at least paint and irfanview are seeing them that way) which makes them unusable :(

Neither of those two programs handle 32bit BMPs.  The only one I know which does the job is Photoshop, unfortunately
