Mess with topmenu plugin, get 7th XMB icon?

Okay, so why am I playing under Network, connecting under Game, and then doing absolutely nothing under Network again? - Image 1 Okay, so why am I playing under Network, connecting under Game, and then doing absolutely nothing under Network again? - Image 2 Okay, so why am I playing under Network, connecting under Game, and then doing absolutely nothing under Network again? - Image 3 

This one takes customizing XMB icons to some entirely different level. xShad0w started this thread in our forums after a small WTF when his 3.03 OE-C PSP morphed... or mutated... or transubstantiated his XMB menu. His Network and Game icons got switched around (Network icon over Game menu, vice versa), plus an added EXTRA Network icon at the end that he could scroll to, but with nothing underneath it.

Confused? So was he at first, and we're still confused here. This is a result of xShad0w flashing the backup topmenu plugin after he was dissatisfied with the results of an icon theme (that much we're pretty confident of - and even then, that's stating things in very general terms).

The full thread, available for discussion below, is running in the direction of developing this "accidental discovery" into a "custom" homebrewed 7th XMB menu for... something.

We hope xShad0w doesn't mind if we use his photographic evidence of the what-it-is-in-question. Let's see where the discussion - and the devving - go from there. And thanks for the tip, pspgamer81!

Everything I need is right under the Game folder. But this is still sweet, any kind of change like this is a cool one just because it's something new.

Watch, where are the people at that are gonna say, "Omgz ***** me, QJ another useless topic!" but still continue to come to this site. ; )

this happened to me about 2 weeks ago. ! i didnt know what caused it eather, so i flashed my PSP back to 1.5, i was going to post my discoveries... and then i forgot :-(

 » same prob a month or so ago.........
i flashed my the topmenu to my kids psp a month or so ago & got 2x WWW icons, the normal one worked fine but the one below dodnt have text or action, but it glowed the same as the others, i flashed my own psps topmenu at the same time & it went fine, so i tried theirs & didnt get the same double icons, theirs did the same again with my own custom topmenu, i thought its gotta be down to the model of psp as theirs is original jap model
another thing thats got me thinkin this is theirs has 2 icons more than me whether i use 3.03 OE-A - 3.10 OE-A' they have portable TV & Playstation spot icons i get neither, u think this is cos i have a euro psp1003 model psp & they have jap psp1000???

we could use this to have a dedicated menu for launching custom PRX's, like the reboot PRX, the recovery launcher PRX, the screenshot PRX etc. instead of having them dotted about in unused menu icons.

it is NOT ptv people. it is an actual 7th spot horizontally gained when you flash a 3.10 OE-A topmenu to 3.03OE-C (thats what this guy did)

 » This happened to me too
Not only did I get this, but the shadows we're all messed up. This happened when I tried to put the topmenu_plugin from the original 3.03 back after flashing a custom one. At least, that's how I got it.

I love the way this article was written. Humour but states plainly the news! Anyways, I doubt this could be devolped into anything, but if it was a homebrew thing would be awesome.

oh noes icons switched around. Didnt happen to me cuz i not using homebrew :( i want doom on my psp....boomheadshot.

   by Nicko01 (Unregistered) - 2007-02-17
 » cool.
new icon... what could that be for?
PSX GAMES + ISO's!!!!!

Heres how it would go.
Homebrew would go where it normally does.
PSX Eboots and ISO's would go in a new folder in the PSP folder called ISO. Then, all of your PSX's and ISO's would be displayed under the custom icon.
I would like that.

Actually this happen to me just before and I thought it was funny as I was reading it. I changed my xmb icons back to the regular ones because the new ones I had weren't working and I got the shadow of my network and game icons mixed up and had an extra icon. I should've taken a screenie :(

 » ummm
this is interesting. if that slot isn't supposed to be there, i don't know if it should be tampered with. on the other hand, those who have the guts (and loot) to hack further, may just be able to add/remove xmb menus!!
my pimped-out 3.03 oe-c PSP is so perfect for me now, i wouldn't think of flashing it anymore. Well maybe just one more time hehe >:D
