Will there ever be a psp xmb menu for ark? Like TN-V?

Post by jhuebert95 » Sun Mar 15, 2015 12:11 am

Sorry if this is a dumb question. It just randomly popped into my head so I thought I'd ask about it. It would be cool if there was an open source xmb menu for ark. Before anyone says anything, no I am not asking anyone to code this. I was just curious if there was anything in the works or if anyone had thought about it already. I use both TN-V and ARK, each for different reasons and it would be cool to have the xmb for both! xD

EDIT: Yes? No? Maybe? Anyone have any thoughts?

No.
TN-V is like an firmware but modded and ARK is like an homebrew so you must have src for psp firmware and i think that TN have only it....

It can be a hassle sometimes I'll give you that :) however I love the xmb! I love TN-V, but ark IS better for playing games. I think having an open source xmb menu would open the door to mods galore and would give us a lot of fun stuff to mess with! For one I would KILL for an xmb menu that has the hide option like in ONEMenu. I don't know much about programming so how hard of a job would this be? I've seen some of the amazing things that TN, Qwik, Acid_Snake, and all the others have managed to pull off. If anyone can do it, they can. I'm curious to see what kind of product this could lead to :D it's exciting!
@niszczycielnpc Even so stranger things have happened. I'll bet it could be done somehow. The question is, is anyone willing to try?

game categories (plugin) have the option to hide homebrews...

Yes, but not everything can be put into category folders. Base games need to be in ms0:/PSP/GAME/ and so do ps1 games, or else TN-X will not pick them up :/

EDIT: Also you could hide certain games in a folder and show others, instead of having a folder for games, one for ps1, one for homebrew, and one for all the stuff you want to hide. This way you could leave everything in ms0:/PSP/GAME/ and ms0:/ISO/ without having to make any folders. You gotta admit that sounds nice right? :D

I personally think that ARK's beauty comes from the fact that you can customize it completely with whatever menuu you find best.
The XMB really makes no sense on the Vita, it takes longer to load, most of its functions don't work and the only thing it has to it is the showing of pf and at3, but even ARK has that with arkMenu. Menus load faster and you have all your games in one place directly, plus you have extra must-have features that the XMB doesn't have like file browsers and FTP. Besides all great menus are open source so there's always the chance of adding more too them, while the XB will always stay the same and adding features is harder and not many people (if any at all) care about it.

Could you point me toward the arkmenu thread? I wanna check out the pmf and at3 support. Now it would be cool if pmf and at3 support was added to ONEMenu. I'd literally be in heaven :D

Edit: I tried out arkmenu. I thought it had pmf and at3 support? Plus it crashed my vita and I had to hard reset. Not sure what happened.
