PS3HEN [Support Thread] PS3HEN Bugs, Problems, and Other Issues

[carlos m]

Then removing the Package Manager if HEN is disabled can be an inconvenient for some users.

In an off-topic subject: I recently added a feature to wMM's artemis that allows to select between art.txt, art_l2.txt and art_r2.txt with START, L2+START or R2+START. So the user can easily choose a main cheat list + 2 optional cheat lists.

Maybe you could add support to this idea in ArtemisPS3 if you like it.

Hi man, first thank you for your work with the webMan MOD tool, I just wanted to let you know that it looks like that the latest version of the app has a little issue that previous versions didn't have, it comes up when I launch the app and I select the PS3 webMAN (Configuration) ➔ refresh option, the app refreshes the XML but the webMAN and the folders icons from the XMB menu come up in the middle of the screen, it looks like a bug.

I know that this is not important but just for your information for future versions.

Best Regards

yes, even with HEN disabled (a fresh boot) you should be able to install official packages, like the ones you can get from your store purchases.

of course once you enable it then any packages can be installed, fake or debug too

Nice to know, I though it would return an error, maybe when i tried i used a custom one, i dunno

I tested more with the stuttering Package Manager. If i use the normal version of HEN and i load HEN before opening Package Manager, there is no stuttering. If i use debug version of HEN and i do the same thing, i get stuttering, which kinda makes sense. But if on normal or debug, i first go to package manager, i get stuttering, then when i enable HEN and go back to Package Manager, i also get stuttering still.

I haven't checked the differences between cex and dex explorer_plugin.srpx , but you've probably noticed that the "Standart" folder is causing this, the system tries to load it but fails (something missing in the sprx), so only mapping it when HEN is enabled was the solution i choose. One alternative is moving only the "STANDART" folder to another XML and map it when hen is enabled, so we can still install packages from other locations with hen disabled and fix the stutter issue.

Can you describe your steps, as there has been no code changes to 3.1.1, from 3.1.0, except hen revision. Just resource updates.

You installed HFW and HEN package installed ok? When you enable HEN, there are no issues? What homebrew are you trying?

I ended up figuring out that I had several things misconfigured.

Could you test changing type:x-xmb/xmlpackagefolder to type:x-xmb/folder-pixmap ?

I think the only feature affected would be that Install All when you press △ would not be available.
It could be solved re-mapping category_game.xml to the current file with when HEN is enabled.

Try using SELECT+R3+L2+R2 from in-game. That combo unloads webMAN and loads the video_rec plugin which has a smaller memory footprint.

Also try changing [MC] from 4-bg to default in /setup.ps3. The memory container 4-bg is shared between webMAN and video_rec.

You must be aware that video recording is a feature that consumes a large amount of memory, and not all games allow it.

Is freezing with hen bro

Seems the constant freezing is coming from webman mod v1.47.41. older version is more stable.

Try using the online updater on XMB to get the latest build.
If the issues continue, uninstall webMAN and download + install a previous version from releases

Yeah I did that. I'm now using v1.47.40. I know ps3 freezing is longstanding and freezing issue will not simply just go away no matter the version. I will uninstall and update latest version from the brewstore later and see if problem is with v1.47.41.

 

[Ormas]

Hey I updated HEN to 3.1.1 and I installed those custom themes and now the clock icon is gone and notifications are glitched. Any tips?

I now see that they were broken. Oops.

Yeap but i think it would break it , i'll try and report back.

Meanwhile I'm being attacked again, because a youtuber that no one knows is saying that I stole his work and posted it here as my creation.
I didn't know that explorer_plugin.srpx was created by youtubers and not by sony haha, as if here we don't know that sony has changed the layout files in rcos and sprxs, we found out that dex was causing problems way before this youtuber even made a "fix" for it.

But okay, I'm a thief.

Also is said that me and PSX-PLACE stole his HFW and released it

I'm afraid but cex explorer_plugin.sprx doesn't have support for type:x-xmb/xmlpackagefolder , so using cex pluging will not list the package files. (the child uses it to list the pkgs so it won work without enablinG hen)

We better hide it anyway, when hen is enabled it patches it to support it

@esc0rtd3w @bguerville

All folders stutters a lot and don't list pkg files, we better map it only when hen is enabled.

The only thing that works is the PSN bubbles

In my opinion we should hide the entire package manager as only the PlayStation Network Content folder works.

I don't think it's worth keeping it just for the PlayStation Network Content folder and map the rest when Hen is enabled

 

[esc0rtd3w]

just a side note. When testing yesterday, i noticed that the package manager still stutters when using xml to hide and show on 4.89. Its almost "random" as from my earlier tests it would not stutter when directly enabling hen and going to package manager, but it did stutter a couple times after testing multiple reboots and tries.

Hey i found a ver strange bug, i cant use file manager of magnagunz with the new HFW, its say new Firmware detected checking for offsets, somebody know someting?

 

[YsonyY]

Yep! It's v1.47.41! Reinstalled and all the problems came back with it. Console started freezing also noticed CCAPI don't work in this version.

This is probably not a HEN related issue. This thread is for problems with HEN. That seems like a magnagunz issue with 4.89 perhaps.

HFW is fine. it's the homebrews are not playing nice. webman mod old version seems to work fine but the latest version to trouble hahaha

Yep, i quoted the post here to pass the report to @Zar
https://www.psx-place.com/threads/managunz-ps3-backup-manager-by-zar.1198/page-75#post-334651

I guess is just a matter of time to be fixed, but keep in mind ManaGunZ was originaly designed for CFW and the HEN support is implemented as an addon... so i guess is needed to check this bug report in 4.89 CFW first... and eventually in 4.89 HEN
