I was talking about your ISO and JB games, because you've brought them to the conversarion.

Regarding digital games, as I've said before, redownload everything from the PS Store and you won't have any issues.
 
For some reason on ps2_emu starting with beta 13 and persisting with beta 14, I'm unable to see the temperature of the CPU & RSX. It was working fine on beta 12.

If you're using webMAN MOD, in webMAN Games > webMAN Setup > Update webMAN MOD > Custom Firmware MODs there are various patched versions of the ps2 emus.

Also you can restore to the ps2 emulators to the ones used on the beta 12.

Just realized it's a button combo now instead of it showing in the menu! Square + Select and it shows the same statistics.

What are the requirements for an official non-beta release? Want to know when there will be an official version.

Probably never. I'm not even sure why Evilnat calls them betas. He's more or less switched to agile development, incrementally adding features when they're ready instead of creating a major release with a lot of new stuff once or twice a year. Even though they're called beta, they're perfectly stable for daily use.
The last one would probably be around February or Match 2025, because OFW 4.92 is expected to be released at that point, and even then, Evilnat will probably just rebase the last 4.91.2 beta on 4.92 and call it 4.92 beta 1 and just keep development as usual.
 
I think the reason it's always beta, according to @Evilnat , is that when it was in closed beta, some people were leaking the updates, so he decided to do open betas from now on. It was probably always in closed beta behind the scenes in order to add new features. This way he gets more feedback without the unscrupulous bullshit that scenes are known for.
 
CFW Evilnat 4.91.2 [BETA 15] available with the following changes:
  • Variants PEX and D-PEX only availables atm
  • Reverted original PlayStation Home message in XMB (Thanks to @DeViL303)
  • Fixed error 80710A06 while downloading PKGs/webMAN MODs update from the XMB with VSH DEX
  • Fixed xai_plugin italian translation (Thanks to Weeddaa3)
  • Updated xai_plugin updater to v1.5
  • Available xai_plugin update from the XMB

The error code 80710A06 is a SSL connect handshake error, DEX VSH does not have any reference to a valid certificate authority (CA) from the file CA_LIST.cer

This is the data I have researched:
  • Github and other URLs: Uses DigiCert Global Root G2 in CA_LIST.cer, in this case to download PKGs from Github
  • DEX vsh.self file has no reference to this certificate (CEX does have it)
  • We need to add DigiCert Global Root G2 hardcoded in DEX vsh.self in an offset with enough space

If we open DEX vsh.self (4.84) in a HEX Editor and we go to the offset 0x703A20, we can see info about the last CA available in CA_LIST.cer (Security Communication RootCA3) in 4.84 DEX.

Offset 0x703A20 - Value 0x6A8EA0: Reference to /dev_flash/data/cert/CA_LIST.cer
Offset 0x703A24 - Value 0x372B: Offset where starts the certificate in CA_LIST.cer, in this case Security Communication RootCA3 (-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----)
Offset 0x703A28 - Value 0x0x07D0: Certificate size
Offset 0x703A2C - Value 0xBC3436AAEB3459A7AAB55B5614467BB7E3B43AB5: SHA1 hash (Thanks to @aldostools for checking it)
Offset 0x703A40 - Value 0x6F7454B3: Unknown​

Luckily, the next 0x28 bytes in offset 0x703A50 are available and are enough to be able to add the reference

It would look like this:

Now with DigiCert Global Root G2 data added, Github/Github.io pages (example: Unnoficial Flash Writer) and downloads (example: webMAN MOD or xai_plugin update) are now working again, I have only tested it there, if any error appears please contact me

@Evilnat Thank you for your great work, I wanted to ask you if there is a way to remarry the drive correctly and if it is possible to change the drive the region as with Cex devices. And whether there is a possibility on decha00a DVD and Bluray and SaCD Support
 
@Evilnat Thanks for your patches :)


I successfully added support for CA2 certificates on firmwares 4.82 to 4.85.

By the way, one last request: why doesn't converting the system from CEX to DEX switch the kernel? I think it should, otherwise, it isn't fully in DEX mode, requiring an extra step for the user.
