PS3 [PS2 Emu on PS3] - Unlock Config Mode & Debug Info Mode Menus

@3141card stops by the forums today to show off one of his recent discoveries for the PS3. Following some of the progressions that PS2 Config Tool and the PS2 advancements in ManaGunz by Zar have brought of recent. Developer 3141card (Same dev who gave us the first VSH menu POC on the PS3) unlocks some new menus, when using the ps2netemu (PS2 Emulator) . Now access configuration settings & debug information that can be obtained by pressing a simple button combo , that was until now unknown. When you are in the ps2netemu menu. you are able to perform the button combo outlined by the dev's discovery, which then unlocks and gives access two new menus & options as seen in the video / screenshot provided,.. The PS3 has other hidden menu as well (unreleated to this release), that you can view @ psdevwiki.com also..

How useful are these options and information? (UPDATE See comment #2 below from 3141card) A bit unknown at this time, but no doubt a good discovered for the PS2 Emulator that resides in the PS3 Firmware. Stay tuned as more details arise from this recent discovery of these menu and new options that i am sure many enthusiasts will be checking out. ​

Just save the file and transfer it to the corresponding folder on your PS3 via FTP or USB + File Manager.

 

And if there is already config file, it does not copy over.

Delete the old and transfer the new one.

The config files are stored in the same folder as the PS2 ISO files (/dev_hdd0/PS2ISO), and they must be named the same as the ISO file.

Does that include the iso extension in the file name?

Exactly the same name.

When you mount a PS2 game through webMAN MOD, it first look into PS2CONFIG database (the folder in /dev_hdd0/game) if the game doesn't have one CONFIG file already in /dev_hdd0/PS2ISO. It gets the game ID from the file name (if not it tries to get it from the ISO). Then it searches the database and copy the CONFIG with the same name of the ISO + ".CONFIG"

The rest is done by Cobra payload. If the game has a <file-name>.ISO.CONFIG, the payload applies that config to fix the game.

If the game is a .BIN.ENC, the config file is also searched in the ENC folder of the database. If it is found the config is copied to /dev_hdd0/PS2ISO. The encrypted config is copied to the PS2 Classics launcher when the game is mounted.

Read again. The extensions .ISO and .CONFIG must be in all capital letters.

 

Still not working
Pressing start help no saving

 

Read again. The extensions .ISO and .CONFIG must be in all capital letters.

Only the file extension ".CONFIG" must be in uppercase. The file name must match the case of the ISO file name.

e.g.
pes2009.iso
pes2009.iso.CONFIG

This is the source code where the .CONFIG is loaded

Thanks Aldo!. I've always thought that all the extension must be in all caps. Good to know.

 

If I have no config file and start defug menu and try to save changes, it does not save. Any solution
Thanks
