Hi guys !

Will it be more simple than Irisman or even all homebrews use CSO format ?

Looked PS2 emulator used it too.
 
It would not be more simple no. The emulators on the PS3 do not support cso, So adding support in the backup manager would not work.

That would be ideal, but it's harder to implement. For CSO support, it needs to be implemented directly in Cobra/Mamba payload, in an external proxy like netiso or rawseciso or in a kernel plugin. The backup managers would need to be modified too.

Very few PS3 developers are still active, and the active ones already have their own projects.

So I don't expect to see CSO support in PS3 in the next months or years. I wish to be wrong.
 
@aldostools Is there any way to mount a data ISO on PS3? I mean an ISO that is not of a game or video disc. For example with some MP3s on it so it could be viewed in the music category like mass storage.

I tried putting an ISO of a data disc into PS3ISO and DVDISO but it does not seem to work when mounted, I assume its due to the way it is mounted. Maybe a new folder like "DATAISO" is required that is handled differently?

Also are music CD ISOs supported by any backup managers?

PS3ISO is a special format. Try storing the ISO in DVDISO or BDISO and mount it with webMAN MOD.

IRISMAN 4.87.1 had a bug mounting these formats. You can try downloading and installing again the latest PKG

Hey @aldostools , would it be easy to let us know what steps to take, for disabling cobra and autoload mamba on 4.87 cfw? Would be nice to check your work too

That's simple if you're in Rebug 4.84.2 REX or Rebug 4.85.1 Lite: or Rebug 4.86.1 Lite:
1- Install boot_mamba.pkg from https://github.com/aldostools/webMAN-MOD/releases
2- Rename /dev_blind/rebug/cobra and rename stage2.cex to any other name. Or use Rebug Toolbox and disabled Cobra.
3- Reboot. That's all.

If you get a black screen booting, you can disable Mamba entering to Recovery Menu then restart the console.

To install mamba manually do:
1- Copy the payload file mamba_487C.bin (or the one corresponding to your CFW version) to any folder in /dev_hdd0
2- Put the full path where you copied the payload (including the file name) in the file boot_plugins_kernel_nocobra.txt
3- Copy the file to /dev_hdd0/boot_plugins_kernel_nocobra.txt
4- Reboot.

If you need to load mamba manually:
1- Use Rebug Toolbox to disable Cobra.
2- Reboot.
3- Start IRISMAN. It will load MAMBA payload. You can mount any ISO or exit to use other homebrews,

Thanks, but still no luck here. I have tried with wMM too.

IRISMAN seems to be detecting my 200MB data ISO as a PSX ISO if I put it in the PS3ISO folder. It is not detecting it at all if I put it in the DVDISO or BDISO folder.

wMM is detecting the data ISO in BDISO and DVDISO folder but its not showing anywhere when mounted.

Do I need to make the ISO with any special options? This is just a couple of folders converted to ISO using imgburn on default settings.

Could you PM me the ISO and the exact path where you have it installed? I can see what's the issue.

Are you mounting it as zip?
 
Is there a standalone version of the IRISMAN's File Manager? I have been using the multiMAN for ages, but the lack of a proper NTFS support is annoying. I am used to the multiMAN's XMMB interface, but if the IRISMAN is a better software as a whole, I will replace it as soon as possible.

I am keeping the software installed as minimal as I can. I have already replaced the PSNPatch with the webMAN MOD's PSN block feature. But a file manager and disc dumper software is a must have for me.

There is not a standalone version, but it's easy to create one. Just repack the PKG (remove all the files in USRDIR except EBOOT.BIN, RELOAD.SELF and settings_default.ini). Edit PARAM.SFO, set the title_id to IRISMAN01 and change the title to IRISMAN File Manager or the name of your preference.

Edit settings_default.ini and change FileManager = 0 to FileManager = 1

Or download the PKG of the latest File Manager available, and replace the file RELOAD.SELF
 
I have rebuilded the PKG using the TrueAncestor Repacker. During the launch it asked about the overscan and some folders for game dumping, then the file manager was launched. The built-in hex editor is a HUGE thing, especially when it comes to the editing netemu's configs. Thank you very much for your contributions to the scene!

The prompt for overscan is asked only the first time.

If you browse the PS3 files with a PC browser, you also may find convenient the following web commands of webMAN MOD:
Code: 
/hexview.ps3/<file-path> - view file in binary format (hex viewer)
/hexview.ps3/<file-path>&offset=<offset> - view file starting from offset
/hexview.ps3/<file-path>&offset=<offset>&data=<new-value> - write bytes & view file in hex format
/hexview.ps3/<file-path>&offset=<offset>&find=<value> - find value in file starting from offset
 
I have a use for playing zipped games because of storage space limitations.

I have a question about IRISMAN and playing zipped files; specifically PS2 7zip files.

I have FIRMWARE 4.84 CEX Cobra 8.1.
I have IRISMAN 4.88 the latest version as far as I know.
My 7z PS2 ISO is stored in the PS2ISO on the internal HDD.

I can select the 7z PS2 game from the IRISMAN menu and it comes up with a quick message: "Extract to /dev_hdd0/tmp/extract"
I can see the PS2 ISO in that folder but it doesn't look like it's the whole game.
The extracted PS2 file I am looking at is "2 Entries 512 bytes" and it contains a file named last_archive.log.

"The zip is temporarily extracted in / dev_hdd0 / tmp / extract then the extracted ISO is mounted normally by IRISMAN."
It doesn't seem to be performing the mounting step.

I can't seem to get the PS2 ISO to play.
Can anyone help?

A further question: will the webMAN fan mod work while loading PS2 games this way?

just to test, I'd suggest to try using a different format: for example compress the PS2 ISO using regular ZIP or RAR. Then try again with Irisman and see if it mounts it or not.

The feature that allows to mount ISOs archived in zip/rar/7z is just an experiment, it haven't been extensively tested and could have bugs.
