PS3 webMAN Mod 1.41.07 - Includes PS3M_API webUI

Aldostools has released the next update to his webMAN Mod bringing it to version 1.41.07. The release has a added web user interface which is part of developer _NzV_ PS3 Manager API. The webUI is accessible via any device using a web browser and with future updates will have some added options. Aldostools has another feature he wants to add to webMAN Mod which would allow the mounting of PS2 discs, so be sure to read along and give him some feedback.

​

Changelog 1.41.07:

• Added webGUI for ps3mapi editions (thanks to NzV)
  • [webGUI can be accessed from any device with a browser. The PC Client is not longer needed.]
• Multiple optimizations. Refer to github for details.

PS3M_API webUI:

You can access to this page with this address: your-ip/home.ps3mapi

​

This page will also include some setup options for PS3M_API in future update (like change server port, start/stop server, ...).

I have also planed to add support of the webUI in PS3ManagerAPI.dll, so when connect your pc tools you can choose between 2 mode of connection PS3M_API Server or PS3M_API webUI.

---

I have updated PS3Lib v4.4 by iMCSx to add support for PS3M_API.

You can now build or update your tools with support of all three API (TMAPI, CCAPI and PSMAPI) easily.

Download: PS3Lib v4.5.rar

Note: Fake PS3Lib.dll has been also updated to increase compatibility but for a real support you need to wait for some new tools who include a real support of PS3M_API.

---

I will release ps3m_api for rebug 4.65.02 (cobra cex only) in the next few day (thx @Joonie for share the source code).

This is a *test build* for .08 (still says .07):
webftp_server_singstar_test.sprx

The new feature is:
support to mount "extracted ps2 discs" as /dev_ps2disc (The concept is based on WuEpE's idea, but implemented in a different way and different source code).

Some background info:
SingStar is a cross platform game that allows to play PS2 content (songs) on the PS3 version of the game.
multiMAN supports this feature mounting of the related PS2 game as /dev_ps2disc.

How to setup the files:
The PS2 game should be copied as files (not as ISO) inside the game's folder with "[PS2" as tag label in the folder name of the ps2 disc's folder.

Example: /dev_hdd0/GAMES/SingStar [BCES00030]/[PS2] SingStar 80s

If the game is an ISO, the "[PS2] disc folders" should be copied into /dev_hdd0/PS2DISC

How to mount the game:
Select the SingStar game through the HTML interface of webMAN.
Once the game is mounted, a list of the related [PS2] discs will be listed under "Game loaded successfully."

Start the game through the Bluray disc icon. To swap the disc a PS2 disc, mount one of the [PS2] discs listed on the browser.
The PS3 disc will be unmounted and the selected [PS2] disc will be mounted as /dev_ps2disc.

I don't have this game to test this feature. Maybe it is not working as expected. The description of the swap method used in the webMAN MOD² build made WuEpE requires 2 physical discs (1 ps3 and another ps2 for detection). Maybe the discs are still required.

This include 2 new web commands:
/mount.ps2
/mount.ps2/unmount

Unlinke WuEpE's method, the unmount button (/mount.ps3/unmount) will unmount all disc types (ps2/ps3/psp/iso/ntfs/etc.). So the command /mount.ps2/unmount is only needed if you want to unmount only /dev_ps2disc

If the test is successful, a workaround could be implemented for mounting the [PS2] disc via XMB.

For test build ps2 folder mounting, i think you get low compatibility and some games stop working. A lot of games for ps2 looking for files by (encrypted or not) lba tables or diffrent ways. Only games that reading standard file system for find files should work.

Example Final Fantasy X or Final Fantasy XII shouldn't work with that metod. And many more.

 

Very nice work [MENTION=89]aldostools[/MENTION] & [MENTION=600]_NzV_[/MENTION]

Yes, but as a first test release this is exciting.
Compatibility improves as people jump on board and help.
Some projects start off small like this and blossom quickly. Seen it several times over the last couple years especially

Yes, you're right. Many PS2 games check LBA. However, that new method is not to play PS2 games. It is intended for PS3 games (like SingStar) that can import content from PS2 discs to be played on PS3.

So you mount the PS3 game, launch it, then you mount the PS2 game as /dev_ps2disc.


For the tests you can also try the original MOD by WuEpE (based on webMAN MOD 1.41.02):

Now i understand, ok maybe you know any other games that using this feature? I have a lot games and i can test this. But only one game i know to have this feature is Singstar. Which exactly i don't have..

Btw. I have sugestion for retroxmb psx engine. I hex edited reload.elf to use USRDIR for config files. Is much better for me because i can add psx_config.bin and manager_setup.bin into package, and then i dont have bug that i need go to setup on first run of psx game (if i don't do this i dont have memory card visible in game because psx_config is not there) Maybe you can implement this into retroxmb?

Or maybe you know how to add prepared config folder to pkg?

Thanks for the suggestion. I have updated the RELOAD.SELF to make it recognize the psx_config.bin and manager_setup.bin also from /USRDIR.

Please test with this version:
RetroXMB_Creator

 

Thank you very much @aldotools. I tested it and both files now working from USRDIR. But still i need to add psx_config.bin to USRDIR by myself, in next release you can add "default" psx_config.bin file to PSX-TEMPLATE/USRDIR folder. This make creating psx retro's totaly noob friendly. Because now psx_config need to be added manually to USRDIR or still need to go to config by pressing R1 at first run.

One more thing, after first run i have showtime.self in game folder (rxpsxyyyyy) is downloaded (or created? ) automaticly. Not sure its bug or is needed for something? One more time, thank you for your work

 

I'm loving the collaboration between Dev's and members alike. KEEP IT UP +1000 to all

 

Hey everyone!

I just wanted to give a heads up to [MENTION=89]aldostools[/MENTION] and everyone else, of what I think it's a bug on webman mod, I believe it started after v1.41.04, I first noticed it today on v1.41.06 and it's also presente on v1.41.07, it's two of the shortcut combinations, the SELECT+L1/R1 keys for mounting previous or next game, breaks the system, at first when I executed it, it stalled, the PS3 was still on, but with the screen frozen and nothing responding, hit power button once, light blinks and then beeps and shuts off, requiring hdd FILE SYSTEM check on next boot, after it, tried it again, it didn't freeze, but not only it didn't mount any game, as it prevented me from mounting games at all from webMan -> PS3 games folder... Updated to v1.41.07, exact same happened, first freeze and system halted, no response, FS check next boot, and then, after combination, no reponse when trying to mount games, it happened on both habib CFW 4.66 v1 and Rebug 4.65.2 (which i just installed today). If you reboot and try mounting games selecting them from folder method, it works, but use either SELECT+L1 or R1 and "all hell breaks lose", it either halts/freezes the system, or it makes mounting/unmounting impossible until next reboot, happened in 2 PS3's, both same model CECHB-04.

Has anyone had the same issue??

I hope that if in fact this is a bug, that in some way this contributes for helping fixing it!!!

Cheers everyne, specially the devs, that have been giving us so much!!

Thank you for your feedback... SHOWTIME is a shadow copy (it only takes few KB of HDD, in the next update I'll remove it from the launcher mode).

I'll also check that psx_config.bin that you mention
