PS3HEN PS3HEN - Official Release Thread (Homebrew Enabler for the PS3) v3.5.0 (4.93 support)

Guys I want to thank everyone that worked on this especially @habib mainly because that's the only definitive name left but I don't know how you keep up this amazing work answering all these questions from people that don't take the time to read the readme that comes with this. People keep asking the same questions and assuming we have features that aren't working yet. Guys if there was a new feature it would be documented don't just assume something is there because you want it. Take the time to read a bit before jumping the gun. They took the time to make this for us so you can take the time to read and not waste their time saying the same thing over and over again. Show a little appreciation. I'm sure if it's possible your requested features will be added and if they aren't be thankful we have what we have. These things take times. The first PS3HEN was YEARS in the making and most of us never thought we would get as far as we did with our mtdlr2 based systems.
 
Unable to get the pkg manager through **ps3xploit.com >Domain no Longer owned by team** (ps3xploit.me =new). It stays on the white enabling screen and thats it. What can i do?

- PSXISO Support is there!!!!
- BD/DVD Region patches
- BDISO support(stutter with xmb, use showtime)

Cinavia protection
videoplayer_plugin
DVD region check (not cracking RCE)
REBUG themed RCO & XML
AIO copy

NOTES:
if you get error 80010017 launching homebrew that simply means HEN failure, restart console and try again!(restart is important!)
also try deleting cache, browsing data, cookies and the likes from browser, make the exploit page the home page

DEVELOPERS:
#define SYSCALL8_OPCODE_IS_HEN 0x1337
using this if return 0x1337 its hen

ADVANCED POKE:syscall8(0x7003, addr, value);
this allows poking any location in lv2 memory BUT you have to restore original value before exiting to another application or exiting to xmb.USE WISELY OTHERWISE PS3 SHUTS DOWN

BDMIRROR:Managunz FTW!(please use Cobra payload because by default its MULTIMAN)
NOTE:mounting dev_blind will actually mount dev_flash. change files directly from dev_flash instead or hdd0/plugins/CFW/

Kernel Mode returns 0x53434500 on success to user webkit 0x8a000000. its good to measure HEN success. right now hen is already close to or is 100%


Users coming from v1 HEN, can either leave the old /dev_hdd0/plugins/CFW/ folder, or remove it, as it is no longer required for v2 HEN.

I love this code:
create_syscall2(389, sm_set_fan_policy_sc);
create_syscall2(409, sm_get_fan_policy_sc);

This adds a lot of potential functions to COBRA / MAMBA / PS3HEN ;)

and I like this one too :)
#define SYSCALL8_OPCODE_RUN_PAYLOAD 0x6CDF
#define SYSCALL8_OPCODE_RUN_PAYLOAD_DYNAMIC 0x6CE1
 
I was told that PS2 ISOs work through ManaGunZ on PS3HEN, but when I try to play one, I get "Unsupported Data". Was I being lied to?

Talk at the summit
 
when I try to activate the HEN it gets eternally loading and does not activate, this only happens in V2.0 in previous versions worked well.
trying to enable hen from xmb is not working for me but using the http://**ps3xploit.com >Domain no Longer owned by team** (ps3xploit.me =new)/hen/enabler/index.html does. I tried to reinstall hfw multiple time and installing hen but the problem still occurs.
Same and same.
Also, unfortunately still getting black screens with multiman and irisman hen.
 
Well, managed to install PS3HEN 2.0 and now can able to run webman mod, but need to hold L1 when launching.

The HEN update only installed and works perfectly when you're managed to reinstall the firmware by installing the OFW back first and then followed by HFW later on. Ignore the pop-up message while installing HAN after installing HFW.
 
Already?! This looks like a super streamlined update, thank you!

Edit: I think the only thing I would recommend would be changing up order of explanation in the OP a bit. I had to read it a few times, but it almost reads as if a user needs to copy PS3HEN.BIN and stackframe.bin to USB, run the ps3hen.html page, then perform desired offline instructions. I know you're supposed to choose between online or offline, but it reads a bit like you have to do the online install before doing the offline install. :)

very possibly webman-mod is using dynamic fan control, which is keeping your system under the predefined temperature by raising the fan speed to an appropriate level. Something the normal system doesn't do very well, and rather keeps it at 70+C, focusing on silent operation over longevity of your console. This can be adjusted in webman setup.
