Notes:
(1) This is mostly for damaged disc, some sectors might be unreadable because of scratches.
It will try to read the damaged sector 30 times. You can change the amount of attempts in settings.
If it's still no readable, the process will stop or continue according to what is set in settings.
(2) I removed it because I don't see the point of having this file alone, I didn't find any tool using it.
To have a backup with an embedded 3k3y header go to "Settings/Blu-Ray dumper" and enable "Include 3k3y header".

Special Note about IRD database:

  • The database won't accept upload of ird made by a version older than 1.41.
  • You can download IRD on : http://ps3ird.free.fr

Notes :

  1. When you use the option 'Dump decrypted Blu-Ray disc', it will also generate an ird.
    The ird file is automatically uploaded to an online database if it's a new one.
    If you don't want to upload the ird then disable internet ;)
  2. It's very slow ! It still needs some improvement/fix : ~1MiB/s instead of ~10MiB/s.
    I used the FatFs module http://www.elm-chan.org/fsw/ff/00index_e.html ported to ps3 (psl1ght) by tps/lmirel https://github.com/lmirel/fatfs_psx.
    I increased the number of volume to support usb device from 0 for dev_usb000 to 127 for dev_usb127, 128 for dev_sd, 129 for dev_cf and 130 for dev_ms.
    Multi-partition is disabled.
    To support exFAT without changing to much code in ManaGunZ I included 2 files, exFAT.c and mgz_io.c
    exFAT.c : it allows you to manage the exFAT devices : mount, unmount etc.
    mgz_io.c : it replaces several standard functions (some of them are slow/broken in psl1ght anyway) with new ones that support ps3 native file system (ufs2, fat16, fat32), ntfs and exFAT.
    The prefix "exFAT" is used to detect if it's an exFAT device in mgz_io.c
    I did few modifications in the lib:
    • enabled GPT with FF_LBA64
    • changed FF_VOLUMES from 8 to 131
    • modified how the lib 'catch' the volume id to be able to have more than 1 digit id
  3. Before downloading the ird and checking the MD5, it will check if the following values matchs.
    • TITLE_ID
    • APP_VER
    • VERSION
    • PUP version, if there isn't PUP it will use PS3_SYSTEM_VERS

Add OffsetFinder : It generate every files to update managunz to a new firmware. Type 'make update'.

Notes :
(1) Every game pictures are stored in a 512KB slot memory in bitmap format.
For Flow3D, it's stored in 2MB slots, there is less slots.
The dimention of the game pictures is limited.
We can calculate its size = Width x Height x Pitch
I use ARGB texture, the pitch is 4.
The picture size must respect :
Width x Height < 0x20000 = (512 x 1024) /4
And in Flow3D :
Width x Height < 0x80000 = (2 x 1024 x 1024) /4

To not have any memory issue, I suggest you to use the following dimensions:

Picture Width Height
ICON0 320 176
COVER PS1 250 250
COVER PS2 250 350
COVER PS3 260 300
COVER PSP 200 340
COVER3D PS1 FRONT 450 450
COVER3D PS1 BACK 600 450
COVER3D PS2 850 570
COVER3D PS3 950 520
COVER3D PSP 800 640

(2) You can choose the color filter with (R1) in settings.
It's available for BG, BGS, SIDEBAR, BOXBODY, BOXHEAD and NOTIF pictures.
You can add these colors in colorset.ini file too.
They are named COLOR_BG, COLOR_BGS, COLOR_SIDEBAR, COLOR_BOXBODY, COLOR_BOXHEAD and COLOR_NOTIF.
If you don't write a colors in colorset.ini it will be disabled.
