PS3 [UPDATE] webMAN MOD 1.46.00 - Games mounted from XMB without webbrowser_plugin (using idle_plugin)

Update (2/2/17/) -- v1.46.01
Original Article (Jan 31, 2017) Plugin development continues on the PS3 for Custom firmware users, this week alone we have seen some new features added lin PSNpatch by KW (w./ Homebrew Blocker) and we have seen deank back with new updates to webMAN that added NTFS Support / a new XMB game loading that no longer uses the web browser trick (webbrowser_plugin), in other words the flash you see when mounting a game on the XMB In,webMAN MOD v1.46.00 the plugin incorporates that function but in a different way, this is due to the differences under the hood of the plugin. As webMAN MOD contain different support for various add-on/features that the original project by deank does not support/contain so the usage and handling of things has to be done differently to fit each project the best, for an explanation that is far better then i could offer i suggest checking out the differences between the implementation by deank and then by aldostools as its very well explained in our forums by
@bguerville .​

Update (2/2/17) v1.46.01 v1.46.00 Additional Info. / Support

• 
  Update (2/2/17) webMAN MOD 1.46.01
  
  • FTP Server uses again the same algorithm on all editions.
    In 1.46.00, the FTP Server in full edition was based on the original webMAN due initial issues with NTFS library. The issue now has been fixed

  webMAN MOD 1.46.00
  
  • Games now are mounted directly from XMB without the webbrowser_plugin
  Thanks to deank for the new XMB proxy included in webMAN 1.46
  
  • Re-structured the project : Moved all the sub-projects to _ Projects _ folder
  
  via Aldostols
  

  I have updated wm_proxy, which now is 40% smaller only 2968 bytes.
  SRC: https://github.com/aldostools/webMAN-MOD/tree/master/_Projects_/wm_proxy
  
  In my tests I had issues opening the Internet Search option (found under Network.menu of XMB). So in wMM 1.46.00, I used idle_plugin, instead of kensaku_plugin or xai_plugin (which is already used by CFW Settings menu). According to psdevwiki, this idle_plugin doesn't have subs in the interfaces, so I guess it is safe to remap it.
  
  I also omitted the mapping of .rco, because it's redundant (there is one file in dev_flash). This saves a few extra bytes in code.

  
  
  Spoiler: previous update

  webMAN MOD 1.45.11
  

  • Added direct NTFS support to 'Full Edition'
  • Thanks to deank, freddy38510, bguerville, Zar, Joonie, Estwald.
    
    • Added support for auto-mount game when an USB drive is connected
      • 'Check for AUTOBOOT.ISO on startup' must be checked
      • The USB drives to be checked are the ones selected in /setup.ps3 (except /dev_ntfs)
      • The game must be named AUTOMOUNT.ISO or a JB game copied to the root of the drive
    • Added /minver.ps3

Appreciate the link, but I'm familiar with it. My main concern while I was reading through the info, particullary Version 0.5, I noticed @OsirisX compiled his own wMM for it. Wasn't sure if it was seperate or has been added.

Changes done by @OsirisX are added to official wMM by @aldostools since 1.42.03. Use full version.

 

I have uploaded a new test build of wMM 1.47.00

Please report any issue with this build here or on github...

NOTE: If the new memory allocation from the application memory container cause freezes, try disabling the new option "3072KB [MC]" on /setup.ps3

Thank you for your feedback. I have tested wMM 1.47.00 on a clean install and I didn't get the issue that you mention. It would be good to know if other users also have this issue with this version.

If you want to try again, I have updated the files in the link above.

1.47.00 fresh install

1. I had arrows on singstar icon after umount operation.
2. No text and covers in slunch menu, only white blank squares. But i can mount any game from there.
3. If i choose option to take name from param.sfo, slider game menu shows nothing. If i remove localized game from ps3iso folder, slider game menu works fine. Something with localized games.

Please send me the param.sfo of some of your localized games and which language you have selected.

 

Now you are mentioning param.sfo... time ago @Joonie passed me a sample of his "mygames.xml" from webmanMOD... i was trying to take a look at something not related to this but anyway...

I found an small bug related with parsing an special charater from the TITLE of PARAM.SFO to mygames.xml
I dont know wich character is it exactlly... because i could not take a look at the PARAM.SFO files (i knew where was located, but i could not see the original bytes of it)... what happens is that character is converted to a "linefeed" in mygames.xml (you know... something like a 0x0A 0x0D)

The bug doesnt seems to be important, doesnt seems to cause any problem, but well is something that doesnt looks well when looking at mygames.xml because the TITLE is a single text line and is displyaed on XMB as a single text line too, there is not any "linefeed" in it

As said, i cant tell wich character is the cause of this, but to see by yourself you can ask joonie to send you his file mygames.xml because i remember the games affected by this problem was one of the "metal gear solid" and an special edition of "uncharted 3"

Probably there are more games affected by this problem though

And btw... when thinking in this problem i had doubts if is specific for webmanMOD or if is inherited from webman by @deank

It seems that you have selected one of the memory profiles that allocates only 32KB to PSX group.
These are: MIN, MIN+ or MAX PS3+.

Also try with the option '3072KB [MC]' unchecked and checked, and please report if there is some difference.

If the option '3072KB [MC]' is checked, it will override the other profiles and allocate 384KB for PSX, which should allow near 600 games in that category.

Tried it now, working great thanks

 

I have updated the links on mediafire with a new *test build* of 1.47.00 that fixes various issues.
https://github.com/aldostools/webMAN-MOD/commit/d9c5a2b790fed6426bd06f8dd6828057b58f454e

 

please aldo consider one new option in webman mod, to disable two popups when game is loading, now webman automaticaly bring focus to game disc, so we dont need that notifications..can you add that option to setup?

 

My webMAN MOD 1.46.02 is freezing in XMB when I use the Unmount Disc option.
I was using the webman MOD version 1.45.10,but I found it very interesting the game without the webbrowser and I decided to update, but I get many freezes.
I deleted wmconfig.bin,but it did not work.I came back now to version 1.45.10 and it's fine
I'm using CFW Habib Starbucks 4.81 v1.02 COBRA 7.50

 

hey ...so is webman mod going to become sMAN MOD now??

Only webMAN 'vanilla' is becoming sMAN...

A possible integration that I could be doing in the future is load/unload 'slaunch MOD' (and maybe VSH Menu) dynamically through a combo... but I don't plan to embed these plugins into wMM's plugin like sMAN

It is also possible that I could integrate 'slaunch MOD' and vsh_menu.sprx into a single plugin, since both have more in common than webMAN & slaunch.

But these are only ideas... for the moment webMAN MOD will continue having the GUI through the external plugins: 'slaunch MOD' and VSH menu.

Rebug 4.81.2 Rex, webman 1.46.02, psnpatch 2017/b, launchpad 0.18 works fine
update to 1.47.00 seems to have freeze when attempt to load game (on webman games and on webman launchpad) tried from internal, external as well. Revert back to 1.46.02 and all is well again. Full edition was installed in both circumstances, min+ profile used.
