PS3 webMAN MOD - General Information Thread 1.47.48q

[bguerville]

you can also write scripts to convert back and forth

using C is awesome, but a higher level language like perl or python makes editing files quick and painless, especially when you can run one liners right from console

posts merged:

notepad++ ftw!!! you can even run it using wine in linux ;D

I agree, I use Notepad++ all the time when on PC. Lots of cool and useful plugins too on top of scripting. ☺

aldo please add dvd .img type support for dvdiso. thanks

 

[dragoss91]

notepad++ is fine... you only must be sure that that you don't change the file formats when saving

These kind of mistakes are common because it only can be noticed when you open the text file in HxD.

Hello aldo , after you fixed temperature check with syscalls disabled I noticed sometimes when I check temperature I head a beep from buzzer then that notification is going into a loop that never stops , is this a bug or feature ?

It's not a bug, but a feature added sometime ago ever since estwald inspired him with his new mamba plugin

Hold SELECT+START for few seconds and it will beep once indicating that the system info will be displayed persistently.

Hold SELECT+START again for few seconds and it will beep twice indicating that the persistent system info is disabled.

This can be useful to monitor the temperature or the progress of the copy/fix process,

In wMM file manager, is it normal to get a 80711008 error when clicking on a file that cannot be opened in the browser (files other than txt, html...). It should trigger a download operation, shouldn't it?
The behaviour is the same on 1.43.25 Rebug Edition & on your latest 1.43.26 build.

I am trying to understand the settings of the control fan , in previous cfw when i disabled Webman with button combo the fan speed went higher ( over 30% i think ) and i think it was the speed set in PS2 Emulator that kicked in after disabling Webman . In Rebug 4.78 Rex when i disable Webman it goes to something that looks like syscon normal speed , i believe this is normal , but some consoles really need the extra fan speed when playing online, is there any way to make the cooling component not disable when Webman does ? The alternative to that would be disabling the combo shortcurts in Webman , the alternative fan will be on but so will be all the components of Webman ( FTP server , XMB plugin etc... ) my guess is not go online with these ON

No, it isn't normal.

I tested downloading a .pkg on /usb000 and the ps3 browser prompted for the storage location. Maybe some system setting in your browser was changed. Try restoring the default system settings.

Also test if webMAN 1.43 (vanilla) from Dean behaves the same.

If the dynamic fan control is disabled (i.e. manual mode) or if the PS2 fan speed setting is set to 32% or lower, webMAN MOD will use syscon fan control mode when the plugin is unloaded.

Otherwise it will use the PS2 fan speed setting when the plugin is unloaded.

Oh so is a feature , nice , thank you Aldos !

By the way ... what you think about making a fan control feature like Irisman has ? where you can edit fan speed for more temperatures like 65=>25% 70=>30% 75=>35% , it would be cool

 

[bguerville]

I find the wMM dynamic fan control very good the way it is. The most important thing as far as I am concerned is to keep the temperature under a given value. And at the moment wMM does this very well imho.
I much prefer this implementation to the fan control system from Irisman/Fan Control Utility.

There is only maybe one tiny detail that I have noticed, if ever for some reasons wMM was temporarily disabled (after updating CFW for example), the temperature invariably goes up.
Once wMM is enabled again, the fan speed increases greatly in order to cool the system down until it reaches the maximum temperature specified in Setup.
Then the fan speed begins to decrease but too slowly. The speed value is in hexadecimal, it goes down one unit every 10s or so so it takes ages for it to slow down.
By the time the fan speed gets back to what it should really be, the console is far below maximum temperature & people in the room are half deaf!

Unlike Iris forks, where the curve of fan speed/temperature is set manually using a table of 14 values and a couple of additional variables, webMAN only needs one target value and it increases/decreases the fan speed in small steps to try to keep the target temperature.

To add all these parameters plus the new fan control mode would mean:
- To extend the setup form with 14 additional fields (or add a new form).
- Also add the code to read the values from the config, parse the values in the form and save them.
- All this code increases the size of the plugin. Thus consuming more memory resources (remember that the plugin is always running in background).

In the other hand, Estwald already made a plugin that does exactly what you want. So you only need to disable the fan control in webMAN and use the plugin of Iris Manager or IRISMAN.

Yes that is an issue that happens because webMAN aggresively increases the fan speed if the temperature is above the target temperature, but it decreases the fan slowly.

webMAN MOD may decreases the fan speed a bit faster, but only under the following 2 conditions:
- if the current temperature is already 3°C or more below the target temperature and the fan speed is 66% or more.
- if the current temperature is already 5°C or more below the target temperature and the fan speed is 50% or more.

These parameters are very conservative, but it's preferable to have some fan noise for few minutes until the console gets cool again.
The noise also acts as a warning, due it shouldn't happen under normal conditions.

You can twak these parameters in fancontrol2.h searching for "66%" or "50%".

You mean installing IRISMAN and let it control fan ? or replace fan control plugin in webman with iris one , if so where is located fancontrol plugin ? in PS3MAPI I see only webftp_server.sprx plugin that I can load/unload ... sorry im a noob at this point

 

[aldostools]

Yes, install Iris Manager, IRISMAN or GameSonic and let them control the fan. In IRISMAN, the internal fan controller is disabled by default. You must press START, select Tools menu, then "Control Fan & USB Wakeup" and Enable the payload.

Or add the following modded version of Estwald's plugin to /dev_hdd0/boot_plugins.txt
http://aldostools.org/temp/test/sm.sprx

The settings are configured through IRISMAN or Iris manager 3.0

Remember to disable the fan controller in /setup.ps3 of webMAN to avoid both plugins compete between them.

WebMAN-MOD is made of one sprx file so you cannot remove/replace the fancontrol part but you can keep it disabled in Setup and use a second plugin just for fan control.

You could use aldo"s version of the plugin with Irisman (or Iris Manager 3.0) or the same plugin integrated to Gamesonic Backup Manager 3.82 and in Gamesonic Fan control utility 4.0.
This plugin is also called sm.sprx, you can find it in /dev_hdd0/game/GMANAGER9/USRDIR/plugin after you have installed Gamesonic manager 3.82 or in /dev_hdd0/game/CTRLFAN40/USRDIR/ after you have installed Gamesonic Control Fan Utility 4.0

You can load a plugin automatically by editing boot_plugins.txt & adding a valid path to sm.sprx.
Use the PS3MAPI page only for testing when you need to load/unload a plugin manually or to find out if a plugin is loaded into memory.

To control the settings you can use Irisman (or Iris Manager 3.0) but for this I think I prefer Gamedonic manager 3.82 because of the new monitoring feature (even in-game).

Try it yourself but I don't think it's better than webMAN-MOD dynamic fan control!

I have a quick question ,

I just cfwed my first ps3 and I installed the latest rebug 4.78.1 -
I am trying to enable external game data with webman but when I type

web browser
<ps3ip>/extgd.ps3 I get
400 Bad Request

FTP
Command: SITE EXTGD
Response: 500 Error

GameData v11 - doesn't work either

however multiman is able to switch to external game data

is this a bug in webMAN Mod / rebug or am I doing something wrong? - usb harddrive is fat32 it's plugged in when ps3 starts.

 

[vampirzocker]

i have a question again xD ( its a little bit off topic )

i have dumped my memory through webman while playing a game and i wanna search for some pointers if there

therfore i need some infos if possible:

is the memory dump of the game in the full "dump_mem.bin"?
if it is, which offsets should i search for the game memory?

do i need something else to know or a programm other than hxd viewer?

and any other tips for searching pointers?

ok but do you know whether the dump has the game memory in it?
