PS3 Multiple Updates To webMAN-MOD: Version 1.41.36 Being The Latest

If you have been watching the previous article about webMAN-MOD you will be aware of most of these updates as Aldostools rolled out a few test releases. For those not following closely, be sure to catch up since the plugin has had three updates since last reported. At first glance I see that Aldo has reverted back to his previous method of firmware detection since DEX firmware wasn't playing nice. In changelog 1.41.35 there where a few fixes to game scanning, the Fix Game option and fan control. [break].[/break]Version 1.41.36 has a few tweaks for the way it handles unload plugin and a redirect to prevent accidental official firmware updates for games in ISO and JB folders (I like that one). Be sure to read on for all the details of this amazing plugin.

​

Changelog 1.41.36: (2015-03-29)

• Merged latest changes from NzV about unload plugin
• Redirect /dev_bdvd/PS3_UPDATE to prevent accidental update
• Added buttons to clear IDPS/PSID on /setup.ps3
• PSID now can be set to all zeros.
• Added display of Cobra/Mamba version to /cpursx.ps3 and popup START+SELECT
• Reverted again the firmware detection to the old method
  • (firmware detection using syscalls didn't work well with spoofed IDPS.)
• Added /fixgames.ps3
• Added a wait of 500ms before unload the plugin (to let any pending delay being processed complete)
• Fan control is restored to SYSCON mode when the plugin is unloaded, only if fan control is disabled or PS2 speed is <33%
• Fixed some typos (Thanks to m@tsumot0)
• Fixed issue scanning games on English edition

---

Changelog 1.41.35: (2015-03-26)

• Fixed issue scanning games on English editions
• 'Fix game' now patches the game update if it is installed on hdd0.
• Fixed new firmware detection using syscalls introduced in 1.41.32
• Fan control is restored to SYSCON mode when the plugin is unloaded, only if fan control is disabled or PS2 speed is <33%
• Removed non-working code for custom CD sector size on netiso

---

Changelog 1.41.33: (2015-03-22)

• Reverted firmware detection to the method used in 1.41.31 (and before).
  • New method was not detecting DEX properly.
• Removed ps3mapi syscall when the plugin is unloaded
• libfs.sprx is now external for nonCobra/CCAPI

I have a question
The LITE version uses less memory ?


someone has the download link of the LITE version 1.41.36?

I have a question
The LITE version uses less memory ?


someone has the download link of the LITE version 1.41.36?

This is a comparison of the memory footprint per edition:

LITE edition: sprx is 73KB, decompressed is 170KB -> that is 3 pages of 64KB -> 192KB.
Cobra english: the sprx is 92KB, decompressed is 216KB -> that is 4 pages of 64KB -> 256KB.
Cobra multi23: the sprx is 98KB, decompressed is 237KB -> that is 4 pages of 64KB -> 256KB.
Rebug ps3mapi: the sprx is 111KB, decompressed is 274KB -> that is 5 pages of 64KB -> 320KB.

Apart of the memory footprint, the memory usage is almost the same in all the editions (Cobra/Rebug/ps3mapi).

The major memory usage occurs temporarily during the scanning of games, the FTP/HTTP transmissions. The memory is recovered when these processes complete.
The memory used on these operations can be configured in /setup.ps3.

As you can see the difference between Lite and Rebug ps3mapi is only 64-128KB. So, you won't notice differences unless a game demand all the memory available, and 64-128KB can make a difference.

- ISOs inside subfolders(eg /PS3ISO/A/MyGame.iso) are not scanned/shown.

- I have bunch of Game-Updates-ISOs inside PS3ISO and these are shown a little bit strange:
The TITLE in PARAM_SFO_Editor reads for example "°Assassin's Creed Brotherhood ™ - Updates Install (Auto)" and in webMAN_mod it will be shown as "°Assassin's Creed Brotherhood".
UTF-8 coding of this TITLE looks like in HDX:

C2 B0 41 73 73 61 73 73 69 6E 27 73 20 43 72 65 65 64 20 42 72 6F 74 68 65 72 68 6F 6F 64 20 E2 84 A2 20 2D 20 55 70 64 61 74 65 73 20 49 6E 73 74 61 6C 6C 20 28 41 75 74 6F 29

Seems to be correct !?

My last version before trying 1.41.36 was 1.41.18. I might be wrong but if i remember right 1.41.18 displayed everything as expected.
I'm currently using latest 4.70 Habib Cobra

Redirect /dev_bdvd/PS3_UPDATE to prevent accidental update

Very good idea!

someone has the download link of the LITE version 1.41.36?

Lite version is already included in PKG. To install lite version just keep pressing while starting updater, or copy it manually from Updater folder.

If i'm reading correctly, this could solve the issue of users with a bluray in the drive when they update? :highhopes:

 

[MENTION=89]aldostools[/MENTION] great work!

I have a request for you. Could You add a combo to set the IDPS/ConsoleID to All Zero?

I'm not sure about the HEX code for the UTF-8... Anyway I tried to reproduce your bug, but I couldn't to get your issue. However, I discovered a bug reading the SFO for PS3ISO in sub-folders.

Could you test if your issue is solved with this build?
http://aldostools.org/temp/test/webftp_server.sprx

If the issue persists, pleasePM me a zip file with your /dev_hdd0/tmp/wmtmp and some dummy files that simulate your ISO (they can be 0 byte files with the file name and folder structure).

 

Nice updates [MENTION=89]aldostools[/MENTION] Thanks

No. But it should be helpful for users that like to use ISO copies 1:1 (without PS3UPDAT.PUP removed).
[MENTION=29]Joonie[/MENTION] is testing a method to prevent these unwanted updates patching emer_init.elf. If it is confirmed to work, it could be a standard patch for future CFW

[MENTION=89]aldostools[/MENTION] great work!

I have a request for you. Could You add a combo to set the IDPS/ConsoleID to All Zero?

webMAN MOD currently has too many combos and I'd prefer to not add more combos. They can be reset to zero very easy using /setup.ps3 and the new buttons.

If you have a scenario where the combo would be useful, I could consider to add it.

 

[MENTION=89]aldostools[/MENTION] Thanks for the awesome Webman mod, but I was wondering, it says Cobra version display was added to cpursx.ps3 and popup START+SELECT but In my PS3 the cobra version only appears when I check the cpursx.ps3 ... the Combo START + SELECT only shows the CFW version ... , do I have to enable some option or something?

 

If you have a scenario where the combo would be useful, I could consider to add it.

2 seconds before they grab your console id to ban it? ;D

 

2 seconds before they grab your console id to ban it? ;D

I don't understand your scenario... how do you know that in the next 2 seconds your console will be banned? If you are logged into PSN, you already sent your IP/IDPS/PSID and other data.

I cannot add the combo if I don't fully understand the requirement.

 

A joke, you'd have to be psychic to know when to use it

It was a mistake in the changelog... I was meaning CFW version instead of Cobra version. Anyway I have updated the PKG on Brewology, so it now shows Cobra version in START+SELECT too.

 

Redirect /dev_bdvd/PS3_UPDATE to prevent accidental update


all of my JBFolder Game(not ISO) has update files.. this will prevent this to accidentally update my console? (press on Bluray icon>update)because of kids sometime i see them access this.



req:
ah can you include next release a QUICK SCREENSHOT with combo button in game?



tnx..

The redirect of /dev_bdvd/PS3_UPDATE should work for games in ISO and JB folders too. It doesn't work with physical discs because the redirect occurs when the is mounted via webMAN.

The combo for screenshot on XMB is already coded in webMAN, but the binaries don't include it due the bad quality of the BMP images.

For in-game screenshots you would need to press PS to activate the combo. As it is very easy to go to Photo column to select the Screenshot option, the combo is not included.

 

[MENTION=89]aldostools[/MENTION] there's a bug in webman 1.41.36 i dont know if happens for anyone else but i use Disable lv1&lv2 peek&poke syscall at startup and i think its not disabling lv1 syscall because i checked in sen enabler the lv2 syscall are disabled but lv1 is still enabled.

peek is not completely disabled for Cobra editions. Only on nonCobra editions.

Maybe [MENTION=600]_NzV_[/MENTION] or [MENTION=161]Matsumot0[/MENTION] can suggest what to do in this case.

BTW [strike]1.41.37[/strike] 1.41.38 was uploaded.
