* Greek (ErMaK86's Translation for 4.80/4.81)
** Language Pack: [http://www.mediafire.com/file/5ya93a6duvu7wo7/Greek-ErMaK86.LP]

==== Guide for adding other translations / building languagepacks ====
This guide will explain you how to translate the XMB and use [https://github.com/DanyL/PS3MFW-Builder/blob/master/tasks/language_pack.tcl language_pack.tcl] PS3MFW task.

LP structure:
 font/name_of_the_font_file_to_replace.TTF
 replace/name_of_the_rco_file.xml
 edit/name_of_the_rco_file/language_name.xml

1. Create a folder – this will be our working directory.

2. If the language you want to translate XMB to is using unsupported font glyphs, you’ll have to include a modified PS3 font.
:How to add glyphs to fonts?
:I personally use font creator, open 2 fonts: the one I want to modify, and another one that contains the glyphs that I want to add.
:Than all I need to do is to copy & paste the glyphs from one font to the other, and assign any glyph to it’s letter.
:* I modify “SCE-PS3-DH-R-CGB.TTF”, but this should work with any font.
:When you finished modifying your font, create the folder “font” inside your working directory, and put you modified font in there.

3. Extract language XML files from RCO files
:Here you have two options:
:1) Extract them one by one using RCOmage (CLI or GUI).
:2) Using LP_RCO to automatically extract language XML files from all RCO files (or writing your own script).
:* For those who doesn’t use LP_RCO:
::You should extract only one language file from each RCO file (for example “English.XML”).
:name each language file by the RCO file it was extracted from.
:Now create a folder named “replace” in your working directory, and place all the extracted language files in it.

4. The translation itself
:This is the exhausting stage, where you should just translate any string in the language files you extracted in charter 3.
:* You should translate only the string between the and tags.
:You could let Google to translate it for you, but then you’ll have to fix formatting and all Sony’s “special” glyphs (such as the “cross” symbol), and of course to correct all the typos.

5. Packing everything into LP
:Use any tar compression tool, and compress the root of your working directory, and named it “name.LP”.

6. The “edit option”:
:There is also the “edit” option in language_pack.tcl task, which allow you to fix typos in several RCOs and languages.
:Create a folder named “edit” inside you working directory.
:Extract the language XML files you want to edit, and put them inside a directory named by the RCO file they extracted from.
:Now all you got to do is to edit the language files.

7. All you need now is to build your MFW with your new language pack!
:Take attention that you don’t have to include any of those folders inside your LP – include them only if you want to use their function.

=== more Spoof ===
Copypaste and save as spoof_version.tcl in tasks folder (make sure you use proper ps3mfw_base.tcl from 0.2 or [http://pastie.org/private/1u5p6jfd5mhxeleiibadg unofficial v0.2.1 OtherOS++] and not the glevand or rebug version that reduced/castrated the spoof method):

=== broken_bluetooth task ===
save as broken_bluetooth.tcl in task folder

Allows you to remove Bluetooth firmware installation so that the MFW can be installed without a working Bluetooth board (circumventing errorcode 0x8002F1F9). This is potentially dangerous if used on a PS3 with a working BT/Wifi board, and should only be used if the BT/Wifi is broken (or abcent, like on Arcade consoles).

== Using console / shellscript ==

By using commandline switches you can preset every task there is, plus the source PUP, destination PUP and debug settings.

===Example of PS3MFW Builder with OtherOS++ tasks===

== FAQ ==
*Error: User wants an /insert well known 'CFW' e.g. Kmeaw/ like MFW firmware or use that as source PUP
:Solution: Take official firmware and select the following tasks accordingly to your target requirements:
::- Patched LV1 hypervisor to allow mapping of any needed memory area (Wutangrza, Waninkoko, Kmeaw, graf_chokolo)<br />
::- Patched LV2 kernel to add Peek&Poke system calls to LV2 (Wutangrza, Waninkoko, Kmeaw, graf_chokolo)<br />
::- Patched PKG installer to allow installation of pseudo-retail + debug PKGs (geohot, Waninkoko, kmeaw)<br />
::- Patched Application launcher to allow running of unsigned applications (Waninkoko)<br />
::- Add new icons to XMB to add Install PKGs + /app_home (KaKaRoTo, geohot Waninkoko, Kmeaw)<br />

*Error: Error running script: invalid command name "34" and/or Error running script: invalid command name "35" (when using Kmeaw, Rebug etc as input PUP and selecting privacy [34] and/or spoof [35])
:Solution: Take official firmware and use the solution mentioned above
