PS3 webMAN v1.34 / New Stage2.bin for Cobra 4.66 - A Fix to Games like DISHONERED

A new update to the original (aka Vanilla) version of deank's webMAN plugin has been updated to v1.34 and also the developer has improved COBRA 4.66 CFW with a new Stage2.bin that can be easily installed. This update to webMAN and stage2.bin are aimed to improve game compatibility as the developer has tried and tackle some problematic games such as DISHONORED that has alway had issue working on Cobra CFW. but the developer with his amazing skills and some dedication was able to defeat this issue and most likely fixed other games he was unable to test. All the details can be seen below from developer deank.

​

webMAN 1.34 Changelog:

• Fixed processing of last_game.txt (generated by multiMAN). For JB games it contains the path to EBOOT.BIN, which was wrongly mapped to /dev_bdvd. It is now properly mapped to the /PS3_GAME folder of the supplied path in last_game.txt
• When loading JB games webMAN used the default TEST00000 game ID for creating the fake ISO (task.dat). It now checks the PARAM.SFO of the game and passes it to the cobra_map_paths (the way mmCM does) to create proper fake iso (task.dat).
• Improved the scan procedure to exclude some unnecessary files/checks and improved a bit the "lite" version.

The changes in stage2:

• Check and fix path names with leading double forward slash (//)
• Do not restrict game processes (EBOOT.BIN) and do some postprocessing (fixed at least 7 games/applications so far)
• Fixed spoof offset for 4.66 (it will be needed next with the next fw version).

I continued my efforts to see what is wrong with Dishonored and Cobra... I'm glad to say that I managed to fix the issue.

The solution is ONLY for 4.66 CFW (Cobra). I also strongly suggest that you update your stage2.bin with the one I compiled, no matter which 4.66CFW (Cobra) you have.

• Unzip the file and copy stage2.bin to /dev_blind/sys (to replace the one that came with your firmware) /dev_blind/sys/stage2.bin Do this only if you're on 4.66 and make sure that you enable dev_blind either in webMAN or multiMAN to be able to replace the file.

Also webMAN 1.34 is available. There are some fixes and improvements in there.

Dishonored now works in JB format from Internal/External and I also tested it from /net_host (new stage2.bin required).

This update of stage2.bin will probably fix few other games which have issues (no sound, lag or game-data-corrupted-errors).

INSTALL STAGE2.BIN AT YOUR OWN RISK.
Potential brick risk if you do not use as directed, if you want to be safe await CFW update that are sure to come.

Any chance of seeing this work dome to the latest 4.65.2? It would be nice to see it ported to 4.46 as well, especially your REX Cobra

 

Cool good Work the Ps3 CFW's and homebrews (plugins) and programms get better and better

thanx for this now nothing is missed even in Cobra mode excellent best of both worlds Standard and Cobra CFW.

now only wait for Rebug Cobra Rex 4.65.2 update and everythings is perfect

 

That is DeanK with this a the new Rebug (as I'm sure these fixed are gonna be applied) firmware while fixing PS2 wireless problems. Heck they may have even gotten 4.66 and making a whole new REX. I am just guessing on that didn't hear or read it anywhere it is purely my opinion.

 

That's great !
Thank you deank

Yes maybe 4.66 Rex Cobra is in work (I also thought of this possibility) maybe Christmas release... would be an awesome Present... and surprise

even if not 4.65.2 will be very cool at the moment too with all the bug fixes, ps2 Classics fix and more cant wait for this day

That won't be 100% compatible due to spoofed files,

the hash of vsh.self.cexsp has changed.

The reason why so many people have a problem with PS2/PSP when they use 4.66 spoofer by ARCH, is because of wrong 64 bit hashes.

[MENTION=7]atreyu187[/MENTION] evilsperm won't allow lol

No I thought maybe the source code was released so the fixes could be applied to the 4.65 CFW.

 

Ok boys. Ferrox 4.66 Cobra Lite released

NEXT time make a new thread though. Posting in deank's release thread is not the best things to do or any release thread.
(somewhat related to his stage2.bin news, but still better to create a new thread )
