app_home isn't showing up on the XMB

[jimhew]

Hi, app_home isn't showing up on the XMB. It's selected in setup but refuses to show. PSN games won't launch via webMAN but Roms launch fine. It's been like this for quite a while and I've updated HFW version, HEN and webMAN without it changing.

I'm running a CECH-4203C on 4.89HFW, HEN 3.2.2 and webMAN MOD v1.47.45.

Any idea what's could be causing it? I'd really like my PSN games to launch through webMAN.

Try adding app_home manually to category_game.xml

Edit the category_game.xml in /dev_blind/.. and insert these 2 blocks:

<Query
class="type:x-xmb/folder-pixmap"
key="seg_gamedebug"
src="#seg_gamedebug"
/>

<View id="seg_gamedebug">
<Attributes>
<Table key="game_debug">
<Pair key="icon_rsc">tex_album_icon
<Pair key="title_rsc">msg_tool_app_home_ps3_game
<Pair key="child">segment
</Table>
</Attributes>
<Items>
<Query class="type:x-xcb/game-debug" key="game_debug" attr="game_debug"/>
</Items>
</View>

Thanks Aldo, I'll give it a go and report back...

I pasted it at the bottom of the xml doc and saved it using FileZilla over FTP. My games tab now shows nothing on the XMB and I can't now launch HEN?

You probably made a mistake editing the XML. That causes that the items in the Game column disappear.

If you aren't running webMAN MOD's ftp, you will have reinstall HFW + HEN again.

Ok, I might as well update to HFW 4.90 and reinstall HEN. How exactly does the XML have to be laid out so that it doesn't cause this again?

The edition of the XML is not too difficult, but requires some experience. If you're not very skilled doing that, I recommend that ask for help in PSX-PLACE forums.

Here is an example of how a category_game.xml with the app_home segments should look: https://github.com/aldostools/webMAN-MOD/blob/master/Projects/updater/pkgfiles/USRDIR/xmb/category_game.xml
