overload main menu module on Prestashop 8 classic theme

[ZeSpecialK]

Hi all,

I try to overload the 'main menu' default module present in the 'classic' theme on Prestashop 8 (ps_mainmenu.php file).
Usually, I create a folder 'ps-mainmenu' with 'ps_mainmenu.php file on 'themes/classic_child/modules'.
But, in this case, for some strange reasons, it doesn't work.
If I make the same on 'override' folder instead of 'themes/classic_child/etc...' path it seems to work.
Does someone explain me the overload/override logical ? What i the right way to do that (I thinked override was depreciate on PS8) ?

Thanks to all.

I don't think Prestashop has déprécié the override functionality. 

To override the PHP files of the module, use the root folder overrides  & to modify the template files of the modules, use the theme folder.
