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.

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

Of course latest build will include new dean's fix, otherwise no reason for me to test it

I was answering your question regarding 4.46

 

Well I guess since you have the wireless bug it doesn't really matter having an older firmware now

delete your previous game data, becuz all previous cobra stage2 was running with corrupted / incomplete game data installation. that's why newer stage2 doesn't work with older game data installed, that also explains why some of those problematic games didn't work before, and now work fine.

That's is not a issue

Yeah. You are right.
That happened with all the games I have installed !!!
Deleting the game data, solved the issues.

Sorry guys, I've spoke to soon.
With the new stage2 and after cleaning the game data, games like dark souls ii or skyrim are working fine.

BUT:
Games like Far cry 4 and far cry 3 can't install: invalid file system error !
Back to the old stage2: all fine.

There's something I'm surely missing.

To avoid my last opened comment, the problems I had were just in usb external disk, fat32 file system, games in JB FORMAT.,

COnverting farcry4 to ISO solved the issues.
(It worked before being in JB, but it is not much of a problem to make the conversions to ISO with multiman - problem solved . )
