PS3 webMAN MOD - General Information Thread 1.47.48q

mount_ps2_discfile

For PS2 Classics you can specify the media type in the LIMG segment. (1 = DVD, 2 = CD)

For PS2 ISO, Cobra payload auto-detects the media type. By default it assumes the disc being mounted is a DVD. If the disc has more than one track or if CD001 is not found at offset 0x8000 of the ISO image or if the TOC size is 0x800, then Cobra assumes the media type is a CD.

I guess your ISO image could have a TOC size == 0x800. Maybe changing the TOC size at offsets 0x80A6 and 0x80AA in the ISO image could fix your issue. The TOC size is stored twice in little endian and big endian format.

just changing it to random hex values? I could do FF.

Use a TOC value different to 00 08 00 00 and 00 00 08 00.

The ISO starts with the TOC value from original ISO. ie. 1E 02 00 00 and 00 00 02 1E.
But I didn't test the game for a long time due my PS3 is having problems.

That worked. Thanks

Hi, i'm new to this scene of modding PS3.

After a bit of research, two questions remain:

-I'm planing of using Webman mod only for controling the fan, as I like to have physical games; is Lite version enough, or should I use Full version?

-I'm going to install HEN, so, what's the safer way to access PSN?, enable HEN and then disable syscalls, or simply don't enable HEN?

@aldostools Sorry to ping

Best regards!

Is it possible for backwards compatible models to use ISOs for PS2 games from the external drive without copying them? In theory that emulator doesnt have a source limitation

Any idea if thats possible?

Any idea if thats possible?

I don't think so, because the PS2 gameos is isolated. Any attempt to change it would just be undone when entering PS2 mode.

I just found there is a way, even if its a little complex:

That's actually not something I thought about. Good luck.

Hey there, guys!

Simple question: is there a way to set a specific IP number for my PS3?
Everytime I want to connect to WebMAN MOD FTP server, I need to check in the VSH window what is my PS3 address and update my Filezilla connection. It changes all the time. Do I change this in WebMAN MOD setup or is it a PS3 native configuration? (I have not looked on it yet).

Thank you!

EDIT:
JUST FOUND IT. It is a native PS3 option.

Me again... Sorry but I need to clear this question from my mind:

Since I am new to the scene (Slim with PS3HEN v3.3.0 + HFW Released for 4.91 Firmware) I am exploring a lot of old posts in the forums and also in Reddit. A hundred, a thousand of them mention that — Dynamic Fan Control brings you freezing black screens — but they are posts from 1, 2, 3 4, years ago.

Is this already fixed in some of the latests version of WebMAN Mod?

Also:

Is the AUTO #2 fan control option also prone to black freezing screens? Or is it safe to be used with no black screens?
(And yes, I am aware about the PS2 games situation... I run them from PKG's tough... anyway...)

I got several black screen entering and exiting "Simple File Manager" and "RetroArch CE". I was using DYNAMIC Fan Control. Now I am at AUTO #2. Need to ask if it is safe this way, or shoul I really go to "Manual 35%, etc etc etc".

Thank you guys, for any explanation!

I don't think dynamic fan control is an issue... I personally don't use it, I leave mine at SYSCON, but I wonder if it's people setting their target temps too high (to keep the fan from getting too load) and causing thermal shutdown because then the fan isn't doing its job. Auto #2 is just a variation on the fan curves algorithm and shouldn't be any less stable than the default dynamic fan control.

My best advice for you is to keep your ps3 clean and dust free, then leave it at syscon and keep an eye on your temps -- that will set your baseline that your ps3 "just works". Once you feel confident things are working properly, then give dynamic control a try.
