i was on 4.86 cfw updated to 4.87 ofw im running cex and my model number is cech 2001b
im getting a message when initializing on ps3 toolset reading
System error 0x800100005 failure to allocate 0x13000000 buffer from browser container
my ps beeps and then nothing. I look in the logs and get a error that read failure to allocate buffet from browser container I'm not sure what's wrong
This error happens when there is not enough memory available for the PS3 Toolset to function properly.
You can clearly see in the logs that the Toolset attempts to acquire the memory it needs twice & fails twice.
Reboot the console & launch PS3 Toolset again, it should work fine. And
as a last resort, if ever you get an error even after reboot, clear the browser cookies, reboot & try again.
FYI
The Toolset needs 19Mb of RAM from the system for its features to work, 16Mb for data buffering & 1Mb for each of the 3 worker threads it currently uses (needed for stack allocation & thread local storage)
After loading the ps3 browser, there is only a handful of Mb of system RAM left, never enough, therefore the Toolset has to borrow the memory it needs from the browser's memory container.
Just like vsh or an app or game, the browser has its own memory container which sucks up most of the system RAM directly on browser launching & gives it back on browser closing..
The Toolset must therefore borrow the memory from the browser memory container on loading & give it back to the memory container on unloading. On rare occasions, the memory is not given back & therefore cannot be borrowed again or reacquired through other means, a reboot is necessary.
This can only happen in specific circumstances, for instance when closing the browser without warning, which may not provide the conditions for the Toolset to give back the memory it borrowed to the browser memory container as it normally should.
