Nice one! You replied to my Reddit thread about loading games off the network which unfortunately does not work... I hope you or @aldostools could shed some light on as it would be so much convenient for someone who runs games off a NAS server. I am looking forward to the release of the GUI though. Will you be able to implement the addition of other files (Like ICON1.PAM and SND0.AT3) for games that have them?

Thank you for the suggestion. I'd love to support animated icons in the future! I'll put it on my issue-list for sure.
Regarding network games, I'm pretty sure I've used PS3 netserver in order to accomplish this (I think PS2 will have to copy over fully in order to work).
 
It would be a neat feature, I guess it's doable manually by unpacking and repacking the pkg file but it would be a time saver just to add them in one go...
In regards to ps3netsrv, I was talking about PS3 games, I know that it's not possible to run PS2 or PSP games from a network location. To be honest, I don't understand why it isn't working because loading the game through multiMAN or webMAN MOD isn't an issue at all for me.

Check 'show PSP Launcher' then save. Rescan to generate the nre xml with the link to the launcher.

I've tested and it seems like when mounting a PSP game within webMAN Games it automatically jumps into the launcher entry plus one more level and then stops. You might need a longer delay on the last step that should start the launcher?

Also, what commands mount PSP isos now, it seems like using /mount_ps3/ doens't work for me anymore? Thanks!

The wait is difficult to estimate the timing due it's very random and I don't have of a way to know what's exactly is happening on XMB.
I'll try to increase the timing a bit more in the next builds...

Regarding the /mount_ps3 it worked fine in my tests.

Yeah, I noticed that too, the increased wait seem to be especially needed during fresh reboots.

Weird, I can use /play.ps3/PSPISO/gamename.iso (mounts but beeps as it should), but /ps3_mount/PSPISO/gamename.iso doesn't do anything at all for me.
When you tested, did you achieve a full mount and load from xmb using just /ps3_mount/PSPISO/gamename.iso?
If so, very nice!

it is /mount_ps3, not /ps3_mount ;)
 
@aldostools Sorry, this is what lack of sleep do to you =)

It turns out I did have the right command and path after all (just a typo before):
/mount_ps3/dev_hdd0/PSPISO/Power Stone Collection.iso
The launch.txt just doesn't seem to parse through webMAN when using the /mount_ps3 command, i.e it doesn't generate an url.txt in the USRDIR -folder

Using the same exact command as above but through the chrome-browser mounts the ISO just fine, although it can't find a PSP Launcher since it just opens the first index in the games category.

Anyway, I don't know if your automatic browsing will would work as it is now when mounting a game through a webMAN Classics, it needs to find the PSP Launcher somehow in the list of games and it's index is on an arbitrary position. I guess the xml needs a named entry somehow?

Is it confirmed 100%? Could you please share how you managed to get games through ps3netsrv to mount and play successfully? I have ps3netsrv running on my Synology NAS as a package, it works fine for multiMAN and webMAN MOD as stated before.

I can that I'm 99% sure that I did managed to make a webMAN Classics PKG that pointed to an ISO distributed by ps3netsrv (mounted in webMAN), since it was a PS2 game it started to a transfer the full ISO over the network. Hence made me drop the idea since it wont work for my purpose.

What I'm trying to achieve is to mount and play PS3 games actually and I can't find any video on YouTube or anyone confirming whether it works or not.

Weird, I remember finding a guide (on youTube I believe) which was pretty straight forward. Started the server on my PC, put the games in the suggested folder structure, added the IP in webMAN, reloaded the XML and the games showed up.

I don't have any problems whatsoever loading the games through webMAN or multiMAN, the problem is creating pkgs for the said games and launch them from shortcuts.

Yes sorry, I've been a little bit distracted lately, I understand where you're at now. If I get the time to check my old computer I might find an answer for you. I'll post here when I know more.

I'm going to do some tests back and forth to see if webMAN v14 let's me mount PSP again.

FYI last night I updated PKGLAUNCH to add support for web commands ending with _ps3 (if there is any other command not working, the issue can be circumvented adding http://127.0.0.1/ or the word GET to the beginning of the line.
https://github.com/aldostools/webMAN-MOD/commit/b34c34dfaa6581478ae047becbc45ce6424a7d6f

In the weekend I submitted various commits related to your issue.
You can try using the packages in the latest release page:

Thank you very much, it's a luxury get updates related to my work.
I'll update tonight and test, two big thumbs up!

Hi! I just had time testing your last build, mount commands doesn't seem to register for me at all, I've made sure testing games that are working with /play.ps3 commands bu swapping it for /mount_ps3 instead, but nothings happens.

EDIT: Actually the /play.ps3 command now only mount the game, does not traverse to or start the iso.

EDIT2: reverting back to webMAN mod v14 fixed the issue
