My congratulations for this new version.

Can you explain for me what this mappath / remap thing for me?
This explanation can be straight and for dummies. hahaha

Just for me have a vague notion of this mechanism.

Thanks again!

PS3HEN is a set of exploits. One of them is a payload based on Cobra payload to add ISO support, path redirection, custom syscall hooks, etc.

mappath.c is one of the modules of the payload in charge of handle path redirection and other related features (homebrew blocker when CFW syscall are disabled, make rif from rap stored in /exdata, block PSP launcher if an UMD is not mounted, photoGUI, etc.)

mappath / remap is mainly a path manager. It has an internal list of paths that should be redirected, and the path replacement that the system should use when the original path is accessed. There is a hooked function (open_path_hook) that checks every path accessed by the system.

Remap is used for many functions, like redirect a game folder to /dev_bdvd or replace a system file temporarily by another in HDD.
 
OK so yet again i updated from 3.2.1 to 3.2.2 and alot of problems emerged immediately. It now buggs out like 70 % of times, from previous 4 % of times. Sigh.

How do i revert back to 3.2.1 now?

Edit: I uninstalled and reinstalled HEN completely,
... after this it seems to work great again.

the interesting part is that when my HEN got updated with the default update, it stated just signed, but when i reinstalled it stated WMM_signed ... after this it seems to work great again.

The reason that you got the default pkg the first time is because you were running 3.2.1, I assume.

With 3.2.2, it seen you have wmm installed if ran from HTML and downloaded wmm pkg.

The only difference between the 2 are the wmm one has the wmm pkg under /dev_hdd0/packages copied from hen install pkg.

Edit: IIRC the 3.2.1 payload, when running from xmb, and an update is found, it will still do the wmm check but since it doesn't see the hen_installing_bytes, it doesn't switch the pkg path name.

Thanks for reply, and thank you for your efforts making our playstations great again.

However it made a huge difference in stability of my Ps3 so far. Immediately after going from 3.2.1 to the update, i crashed several times both when activating HEN and also when intitializing unofficial multiman, once inside a game, as previously stated, crashed like many times in a row, reinstalling HEN from website using the WMM_signed.pkg made it work properly again, so im happy. Will continue to try it out tomorrow. :)

Well I'm glad it works now, but the only difference in packages is the other pkg inside. No file differences for any files. I'll double check the directories, but when I build the packages, it uses the same files for each one, default and wmm, and I just add the pkg manually to the wmm one before building.

Edit: The Uninstall HEN option works now in HFW tools and would be the next recommendation to do before reinstalling HEN, other than a firmware install.
 
Thank you, yes i used the function of uninstalling HEN using the tool once it did not freeze on activation. :)

Clean install usually is the best way to go :)

Anyone having issues from updates can try using the Uninstall Hen menu item in HFW Tools->Maintenance.

It is recommended to do this as it cleans and removes both the /dev_hdd0/hen/ and /dev_rewrite/hen/ directories, removes the added sprx and rco files (ie. Xai) from flash, restores the XML and rco back to OFW, and reboots.

After it reboots back to xmb, a simple install using the auto installer at ps3xploit.me will restore HEN back to working order. I did it like 60 times over all the firmware versions lol. :eek:
 
Just to report that mine auto-updated this morning. It did report that it could not verify and a manual reboot was required - however after a reboot it worked first time. Now on 3.2.2

Since the method to detect when the installer is finished installing was changed, the 3.2.1 payload will not auto reboot when installing 3.2.2 because the file is not present in the pkg that 3.2.1 is looking for. From 3.2.2+, it will auto reboot when using xmb to update. If using HTML installer, it does auto reboot still.

I don't know if this is the right topic for this plus many questions from users about the pending download 99% I made this change increasing the space to up to 99 download parts if you like it it would be a good idea to put it on HEN

Well,HEN includes @Devil's extended downloader plugin patches on it, so it's not a bad idea to add the queries for ...vsh/task, i thought it was already included in HEN pkg manager, so i was wrong


@esc0rtd3w what do you think ?

OFC your xml will need to be standarized, i already have one for that, so if Jason approves it can be included on HEN.

I don't understand the point of this. Why does it require so many extra XML entries? This is just letting users install pkg from vsh/task folders? Do those XML entries cover the default paths used by ps3?

It seems a bit of overkill, unless someone can explain why such a thing is needed.

This mod only has sense for users that use the download_plugin mod by DeVIL303 to download packages in background.

The file downloads completely but stay in the download queue stuck at 99%

This mod lets the user install the package directly from the vsh/task directory and later delete the package without having to move the file to /dev_hdd0/packages

The XML posted by zmod scan many possible names for vsh/task folder

I find it very useful, but most users probably don't need it.

Yes, you're right. Additionally, I'd like to share another project that is compatible with the PS3 browser and could be very useful. It's a learning chatbot that can answer questions and provide support for HEN. I invite you to carefully evaluate this project and consider the possibility of approving it.
