Hi,

ever since Pandora´s Box has been opened i am waiting for this kind of homebrew (and i remember back in the PS2 Days, there was something similar):

I own a launch JAP PS3. Now, the JAP Console (contrary to the US or EU ones) does use the O button for confirm and the X button vor cancel. This is very anoying, as some games use the default PS3 settings while others use their own. If you also play on friends PS3´s where the button setting is the other way, you will be constantly pushing the wrong button to confirm (as i do).

So, as the system is so much open: Would it be possible with some Homebrew App / CFW to switch the default confirm button from O to X on a JAP console?

Grab the xRegistry.sys editor from the bottom of the page here...

http://ps3wiki.*************.com/ps3...le_Format.html

Then FTP into your ps3 and grab a few copies of /dev_flash2/etc/xRegistry.sys (make sure you save afew backups as if you get something wrong you'll need to restore a backup).

Then open the xRegistry.sys in the editor previously downloaded, and find the line

/setting/system/buttonAssign

Highlight it and edit the middle field in the right hand pane from 00000000 to 00000001 and click the save button, then choose file save then file exit.

(You need to save it twice else your changes wont be saved).

Ftp the file back to your ps3 overwriting the existing xRegistry.sys, and restart your ps3.

The button should now be switched

cool, thx a lot. will try that as soon as i get home today!

thx, really appreciate the help!

One Question though: Does that permanentely switch the X & O button or just the default confirm setting of XMB? Cuz i just want the later, the first case would be horrible for all gameplay.

You'll need a jailbroken/cfw'd ps3 obviously, but it will do the trick

Yeah i took that as a given. Does that permanentely switch the X & O button or just the default confirm setting of XMB? Cuz i just want the later, the first case would be horrible for all gameplay.

Afaik, it'll switch the control perm (on xmb and in game unless a game sets it otherwise).

ok, thx, i´ll test it later on and report.
