PS3 [UPDATE] webMAN MOD 1.47.27 (20200517): Big Announcement - Important milestone's achieved ....

Update (v1.47.27 - 20200517) since the initial release of webMAN MOD v1.47.27 @aldostools has made huge improvements to the plugin with these latest revisions to v1.47.27.The developer is adding alot of new functionality to the plugin and has some big announcements in the latest changes. See UPDATED changelog and also quote from developer Aldostools himself about the latest progress provided to the PS3 Plugin in this latest update
d (Original Article) Developer @aldostools whom recently updated IRISMAN for 4.86 Support (& more) has also updated the popular plugin webMAN MOD to version 1.47.27 with support for 4.86 firmware. That has not been the only changes provided to the webMAN MOD plugin. For instance, If you are transferring files via FTP that information will be displayed in the Temperature Monitoring page (from a networked connected broswser: your ps3ip/cpursx.ps3). The plugin has some other additional features and fixes provided in this update marked in the changelog provided below.

webMAN MOD is a fork of @deank's original webMAN. Dean's version is solid and provides a great experience on its own and provides a great foundation to webMAN MOD which started out as a collection of mods and the developer Aldostool's really took over the fork's development and provided many new features / support and takes the plugin into modern times. Both are great options provided by great developer's and to get a bit of insight on their development perspective be sure to checkout our recent interviews of both of these developer's deank (vol.1) and also Aldostools in (vol. 3) from our Power Supply Series

  • Update May 17 via Aldostools (link)
    :cheese:Big Announcement::chicken:
    In the latest days the webMAN MOD suite of tools have achieved various important millestones:
    1- Now it's possible to play games stored in exFAT / NTFS / FAT32 / NET and internal HDD using prepISO (exFAT / NTFS)
    2- ps3netsrv now supports listing/mounting the content of multiple directories in a single folder.
    This expands the ability to merge the content from multiple sources / folders / servers.
    3- ROMS now can be played directly from remote servers (RetroArch + ps3netsrv)
    4- ROMS now show the name, icons & background when mounted
    5- New ability to execute SELF applications via PKG/ROM Launcher
    6- New ability to limit the maximum fan speed to stop the "Jet" noise caused by the dynamic fan control.
    7- Extended the PKG/ROM Launcher support for new RetroArch emulators

    And today we can celebrate a new achievement after years of research and tests! :lock::pineapple:

    PSPISO games now can be mounted and played directly from NTFS devices and from ps3netsrv without need to copy the ISO locally.

    This is a tremendous accomplishment, because it not only saves time to the user.
    It also saves the precious disk space in HDD0!! And eliminates the duplicated game listing that resulted of the copy.

    Enjoy all the new features! :chewie:

This might be silly, but is there a way to prevent webMAN from creating the extra folders on dev_hdd0/ like PS3ISO, PSPISO, DVDISO and such every time the homebrew plugin is loaded?
Thanks in advance

FYI Not only webMAN creates these folders.

The folder creation is not optional.

You could make a custom build with the following line commented:
https://github.com/aldostools/webMAN-MOD/blob/master/include/www_client.h#L383

Or you could delete the folders in /dev_hdd0/autoexec.bat
(You may need to add a wait for few seconds before delete the folders)
 
@aldostools, I tried installing a big pkg via NTFS HDD, using prepISO_1.27 and wMM 1.47.28, pkg can be installed normally on CFW 4.86.1 lite, but it do not work on HEN 3.0.1

Edit: If in NTFS HDD (packages) there are more than 2 pkg, in the Blu-ray and DVD folder only appears 1 pkg
@aldostools, I think @UFC3 is correct, only 1 pkg is scanned? I tried 5 different pkgs in the NTFS HDD > PKG folder.
 
When WebmanMod is loaded in the memory and dinamic fan speed control is activated it causes a black screen in multiman, and when i turn it back to syscom it fixes itself and let me open it, please how can i fix it, i love that option, dinamic fan speed control is so useful (it happens in every console i have, cech-2511a & cech-3001a both with hfw 4.86.1 hen 3.0.1 and the lastest version of Multiman and WebmanMod) also when i open Multiman "my games" folder disapears from xmb and when i close it the folder appears, i now is not that important but i think is something to consider...
Sorry for my bad English, im from Argentina...

prepISO generates one fake ISO per each pkg file found in /PKG folder of NTFS

Each fake ISO (*.ntfs[BDFILE]) contains only a single file.
So only pkg file is seen in /dev_bdvd and in Package Manager when the fake ISO is mounted.

I just tested again with a pendrive containing 5 pkg files. They were listed as expected after prepISO returned to XMB.

This seems to be an issue of HEN 3.0.1... Try with an older version of the payload or report the issue to the developers of HEN.

dynamic fan doesnt work with hen because if the speed changes while game is start/stopping it will cause blackscreen. only syscon or manual work fully. if you use manual i recommebd 35% normally.

C'est faux. J'utilise depuis très longtemps le contrôle dynamique de webMAN sur mes PS3 CECH-3004B et 4204C et tout fonctionne bien (lancement et arrêt des jeux PS1/PS2/PS3).
Je n'utilise aucun autre lanceur de jeux que webMAN et je remercie vivement "Aldo" pour son excellent travail pour la communauté PS3.

PS : J'ai eu de nombreux soucis avec les traductions automatiques et si une bonne âme veut traduire mes propos, je l'y autorise du moment qu'il parle et comprend bien l'Anglais. Moi, je suis une "bille" en Anglais.
Remerciements posthumes à mon excellent ami "UniqueUserName" décédé voila un an. Mon dieu, que le temps passe vite ...

if you use Auto #2 setting, you may not have any problems. this setting uses "syscon" unless temperature starts to get high.

Dynamic fan control works but it cause a black screen in other homebrews...

Is an incompatibility in between webmanmod and other homebrews (multiman or/and HEN ?)

Btw, in rebug firmares, someone tryed to ?:
1) Enter rebug toolbox and disable cobra
2) Enable the dynamic fan control inside irisman, and mount the game with irisman
3) Play the game


-----------
The syscalls used in all fancontrol homebrews are the same, so probably is not going to work either... but just as curiosity sake, incase it works it could give some hint about what is causing that incompatibility in webmanmod

i think it has to do with LV1 limits of hen. it only hangs if webman trys to change speed while enter/exit a game/app.

i have thought (but not really tested) that changing fan after starting game and before exiting might work. what i mean is start a game with syscon then use pc/phone browser to change to Auto mode. (and change back before exit game...maybe wait a few seconds to adjust)

to me superslims run much cooler anyway and manual setting works so i havent investigated or given it much new thought.

Dynamic fan control will only cause a black screen when the homebrews starts or exits, and will not have any impact on PS3 games,I'm very sure of that
Yes, you can use the combination button to switch the fan mode before the homebrew starts or exits
In fact, this issue has existed for some time,I hope that a developer can completely solve the issue

i think it is a limit of hen that can not be overcome. maybe webman could change the setting automatically after start game but it could not detect stop of game easily. a combo could be used for exit, but if the user forgets to use combo then ps3 will blackscreen.
 
i need help, basically any webman past 1.47.25 or .26 freezes at HEN enable tried .27 freezes, tried .28 and it worked until i had some issues trying to install HEN toolbox, now it just freezes at "HEN ENABLED" while flashing green and yellow and have to hold down the power button to shut the console down
