Deleting Playstation Spot and Portable TV?

[GATMOG]

Hey guys--been lurking around here for a day and now its time to post..

I was happily running 3.40oe-a until somehow--my noobish self corrupted the flash0 while fiddling with it.. Long story short, I recovered it with the necessary files, but now I am stuck with Playstation Spot and Portable TV icons that weren't there before!

Btw, if it makes any difference I have a TA-82

I have no idea why its there now and not before--and would definitely want to get rid of them since the features aren't even available stateside

I tried googling and searching but no goods.. Maybe someone knows what I can do to be rid of these crappy useless icons?

turn your PSP off completely, hold R when turning it back on so you get into "Recovery Mode"

Once in recovery mode, goto "Configuration" >> "Fake Region" and select (keep pressing X) until America or Europe shows up....

go to top of menu, select Back, then exit recovery... eh-viola...

There is another way to do this but it involves hacking the vshmain.prx (vsh.prx) and since your only on post #1 im gonna assume that may be a bit technical until you've got more of a grasp of the psp hacking.
for example, i dont have the "Network Update" icon showing, or the "Online Manuals" either. you can completely re-order, show/hide all of the icons

(if someones wants to know, PM me & ill add the details to this thread )

NEITHER I, OR PSPMOD, ARE RESPONSIBLE SHOULD YOU BRICK YOUR PSP!!!!


((*warning* doing this can (almost certainly will...) bugger up your homebrew apps. ISO/CSO's still work 100%! you need to search dl.qj.net for noobz' PatchSFO application and follow the instructions there... once you do that, homebrew apps will work again fine.))

that said...
here is a brief guide to hacking the XMB Menu order...
------------------------------------------------------

What you need:

1. vshmain.prx
===========

To get this file...

on the PSP, Go to Recovery Menu -> Advanced -> Toggle USB (flash0)
then, from your pc, Open up PSP Drive -> VSH -> nodule -> vshmain.prx (Copy to Desktop)

2. PRXDECRYPTER 1.3 (search dl.qj.net)
==============================

Extract the archive and copy prxdecrypter and prxdecrypter% into PSP/GAME150 folder
You will also need a copy of a decrypted SYSMEM.PRX (i cant tell you where to find this, not allowed)

3. XMBIC

------------------------------------------------------
Instructions:

1. Create a folder called enc at the root of your Memory Stick - <psp>:/enc
2. Copy vshmain.prx into the enc folder, and also sysmem.prx
3. Start PRXdecrypter to decrypt vshmain.prx
4. Once finished, vshmain.prx will be capitalized (VSHMAIN.PRX) in the enc folder
5. Copy the file to your desktop
6. Open VSHMAIN.PRX in the XMBIC program and the rest is pretty much self explanatory - once finished, save the file as vsh.prx
7. Goto recovery mode, & toggle USB (Flash0) again
8. Put vsh.prx in vsh/nodule folder
9. Now go to kn folder and open pspbtcnf.txt with Notepad
10. Add /vsh/module/vshmain.prx under /kd/vshctrl.prx
11. Change the last line $%%/vsh/module/vshmain.prx to $%%/vsh/module/vsh.prx and save.

What your pspbtcnf.txt should look like:

I'll do the first one

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!

[GATMOG]

oh one more question--i change the config to america and the icons go away as they should..

but whenever i turn off my psp and turn it back on, the region changes back and the icons are back..

any ideas?

[jamestanner]

1) dont double post, edit pls!!

2) strange, not happened to me, it kept the settings fine!, but then i ended up hacking the xmb using vsh.prx.

are you talking about a hard turn off, eg, hold off for a few seconds & when you turn it on you seen the coldboot?

yeah, after cold booting the setting doesnt hold..

[jamestanner]

hmm, ill have a look at mine when i get to work in a bit. ill see if it loses the settings on mine!?

im pretty sure it didnt tho...

[GATMOG]

problem solved! for future reference, if anyone finds that their recovery mode settings don't hold after a cold boot--go to the system settings menu and restore default settings. you will then have to re-input your internet settings, time settings, language settings, but the recovery mode settings will then hold.

thanks again for the advice jamestanner--and thanks for your patience towards a humble newcomer!
