Possible to swap X and O buttons?

[rachcouture]

I tried searching but to no avail, so I'd like to ask:

Is there currently any way to switch to the Japanese control scheme where O is confirm and X is cancel or even change one's region if need be on their PS3?

This has always been an annoyance of mine particularly when playing games of Japanese origin and I'd love to buy a dongle if it means I can "fix" this on my PS3.

I would assume that it's a simple toggle in the PS3's registry now that it's a global setting based on region and no longer a game-by-game situation like the PS1 and PS2.

So, any options at the moment, or should I hold off on modding my PS3?

Use FTP to download /dev_flash2/etc/xRegistry.sys (create a copy just to be safe)
Open with xRegistry.sys Editor
Change the value of setting/system/buttonAssign from 00000000 to 0000001 and click save
Save the file and upload it to /dev_flash2/etc/xRegistry.sys overwriting the existing file

This will permanently change the button layout, no need to go through this process again unless you want to revert back to the original button layout.

Holy sh!t! I've tried the same exact method. However, xRegistry editor did not save the file after I modify it. I've used another tool which incorporates xRegistry editor functionality and then saving worked, but all I got was a corrupted system.
