PS3 ps1_netemu - External Configs and Ad Hoc Params

Ok, but since this ppf just changes the magic string to match NTSC-J then applying the PPF will basically be a no-op if the title is already NTSC-J. In other words, I can just unconditionally apply this ppf for any/all games that lack a SYSTEM.CNF and where I need to discover the disc id a different way.

Is there a way of swapping BIOS on the fly?
 
nvm, I have confused myself some things, so I have to appologize. I will fix this on my own

I also have a PlayStation TV, which allows me to run POPS (another official PS1 emulator from Sony) via Adrenaline.

Is it worth swapping ps1_rom.bin with PSXONPSP660.BIN as part of this testing?

Yes, definitely. It is already known that the default ps1_rom.bin on PS3 breaks multiple games (Mortal Kombat Trilogy, Cheesy PAL, Poy Poy 2 PAL), so I am sure that more are affected.

AFAIK, there isn't a method of swapping BIOS on the fly. I have backup BIOS stored on flash when needing to switch between them for testing (mounting dev_blind through Evilnat and renaming ps1_rom.bin via FTP seems easiest and quickest for me).

Switch ps1_rom.bin via the web command /remap.ps3 should be safer for HEN users.

Also the change is not permanent since the map path occurs on LV2 memory. After reboot or unmapping the file, the original bios would be restored.

I could add this switch feature to webMAN MOD if you post the alternative bios file.
 
Can I get exact instructions on how to use "PSXONPSP660.bin"?
I added it to the PS3 and turned on the option from the webman menu but I don't know if they are working .

The main way to know if the new bios is working is launching a PS1 game. You will notice differences in the boot screen that show the PS logo.

In my case I launched a PAL game and the screen ratio of the boot screen was different. Also the text in the external bios was truncated.
 
If you're on HEN you can remap ps1_rom.bin to ps1_bios.bin you put this line in /dev_hdd0/boot_init.txt

Code: 
map /dev_flash/ps1emu/ps1_rom.bin=/dev_hdd0/tmp/wm_res/ps1_bios.bin

The latest build of webMAN MOD allows to do exactly this from /setup.ps3 using a check box.

There is not need to create this mapping in the boot_init.txt. Indeed it can interfere with the new feature.

I'm using the updated version on HEN and I don't see the checkbox in setup.ps3

Hi, I tried many things and it seems that the BIOS did not change. Change the file directory and rename it, but it's still the same.

(ps1_bios option it's checked )

Also I'm on the latest ps3 HEN

If you download *again* the latest build, you should see the new option "ps1_bios.bin" in /setup.ps3 (you must expand the section "Scan for content" which is collapsed by default.

The latest build allows to use the external bios on specific games, only if the PS1 game contains the tag [bios] in the file name. In this case, you don't need to configure anything else. Just add the tag to the file name of the PS1 games and scan the games again.
