i just downloaded the CEX/DEX/PEX/D-PEX and the newer ones OC and all of them 704KB, but it doesn't matter, i just wondered why that size increase

BTW i just compressed it, now it's 130KB again, so it's just uncompressed

Good finding!! /dev_flash is almost full and that could cause issues with some homebrews that write to dev_flash

@Evilnat It would be helpful if future versions could exclude some trash files like 01.p3t or the netflix background.

Or at least replace them with smaller files
 
This is a problem i discovered i can connect via wifi on my ps3 and then it popped out i have new updste , i clicked it and after few minutes it cant boot, i read about cfw and hen stuff but i dont get it i just wanna play my games i knoe i have multiman so idk what that supposes to mean only i can acces to safe mode nothing else..
 
I tried using coldboot/gameboot files to restore the original coldboot/gameboot on the new Evilnat firmware update 4.91, and they do work. However, the oboe at the beginning isn't quite as pronounced and the PlayStation 3 old logo gameboot with the chime has a faint echo to it. I'm not sure why. They did worked fine on Evilnat 4.90.

Maybe it's because of gameboot_stereo.ac3 and coldboot_stereo.ac3 being deleted from the update? I don't know.

* How can I click "Allow Restore Syscalls" the moment I click "System Update"?

Anyway, shouldn't a message appear to see if it worked?

What about the first paragraph?

With your syscalls on turn on the allow. Then disable syscalls. Then you go into system update. You will get the message syscalls restored
 
Hey @Evilnat I have a suggestion, how about implementing a ccapi of the current version of your cfw? It would be very convenient and a very good option or am I wrong? What do you say?:saturn:

Considering ccapi is closed source I don't think he can do that. However it seems it was updated to 4.90 only for cex though not dex

Tried again, no message appeared.

Also, when I try to install the xai.plugin after clicking "Update xai_plugin" from the XMB, it says a server error occurred "(HTTP Status Code: 404)".

EDIT: When checking the SSD after clicking "Check File system", it doesn't even reach 50% and the PS3 turns off. This also happened with the previous HDD.

EDIT 2: I no longer have the issue I did with the "Allow Restore Syscalls" setting but in my opinion a message should appear right after clicking "System Update".

EDIT: Now I can access PSN even after clicking Enable PSN Protection and right after restarting the PS3 (without having clicked any setting before accessing the PSN). I don't know what happened.

That's weird. The xai plugin doing that is normal as I don't think it's updated yet. I'm not sure what all you touched but if the allow is turned on it should automatically do as I said if your syscalls are disabled. It sounds like your syscalls should be disabled though since you can sign in. Try running 4.91 evilnat again. It should hopefully fix it and then you can try again. If anyone else wants to chime in on solutions feel free since the allow syscalls option should be the easiest thing to explain... Yet for some reason, here we are. Works fine for me so I dunno

Ohh ok I think I understand now. You were logged in. Under disabling and used restore syscalls while still logged in. Yes this would probably still keep you logged in. You should log out before you restore. But you think it should auto log you out and redisable using that function? I hope I understood that correctly. Your also using an SSD which isn't recommended for a ps3. It has issues

CCAPI isn't really needed since you can already do the same with PS3MAPI or TMAPI.

It's kinda shame that a lot of so-called modders want to promote their modding tool using CCAPI..

CCAPI is closed source and unfortunately you will have to wait for the author to add support to the latest CFW.

But in the previous Evilnat version I already had that issue with the xai_plugin. It seems I had disabled Cobra, which is odd.

No, I wasn't logged in and what I meant was that a message should appear in the screen on "System Update" to confirm syscalls were restaured so that users know they were doing the right process. That's simply what I mean.

Which issues are those?

It does pop up saying they are restored or should. And ps3 doesn't have trim support which ssds need so it can act funny. That was only introduced later in ps4s and ps5s

There's a few articles around explaining this.ps3 was not built with ssds in mind so use at your own risk.

I'm kind of late to the party on this but I realized my sort list of games is doing the same here where A-Z (higher cased titled) is organized but then a-z (lowercase titled) starts below the capitalized section within a folder. I found in this post -> https://www.psx-place.com/threads/c...-4-cex-dex-pex-d-pex.39743/page-4#post-358263 by @aldostools to fix this is to update the registory. But when I try to FTP the new registory file I keep getting an error, that it can't replace or upload to that directory (/dev_blind/vsh/resource/explore/xmb) which for me I believe is (/dev_flash/vsh/resource/explore/xmb/) on my system which has CEX 4.90 on it. I suspect the latest version of Xai_plugins updater is supposed to fix this but I can't even update that in custom firmware tools since I keep getting "A server error has occured. (HTTP Status Code: 404)" which I suspect is because it hasn't updated yet? I don't know. Is there any other place I can get the latest xai_plugin, but for 4.90? I'm still running 4.90 CEX. Thank you.

Btw my Xai Version is 1.13.

No dev blind is correct. You need to turn on dev blind flash to see this folder.

and if A-Z and a-z are alphabetized then the alphabet sorting is working. Unfortunately it's just like my uncharted is out of order but it's because of how it's titled which is still alphabetically correct. Once you install evilnat without changing anything the alphabet sorting works as intended

How can I access this folder to be able to upload the registory.xml? I can't see it visible in my FTP client. Lol.. I feel like an idiot. lol Thanks.

Solved: NM, I found out how to do it. Just had to enable it via Webman Setup settings.

My ps3 is put away at the moment but there's quite a few ways. I think webman mod has a clicker then there's using ultimate toolbox but that'll break your alphabet anyways. Registry will fix it though and adds more options. There's setting in multiman at the bottom to turn it on. It all depends on your flavor. My main go to I have with 4.91 evilnat is actually all those options. Everything works perfect.i also have PlayStation home and irisman and a patched little big planet 3,cex dex support, petiboot, just haven't installed linuix yet.but lol we are going a bit deeper there
