prepNTFS 1.11 Changes

webMAN MOD 1.43.11 Changelog
Fixed:

• Added more wait time after disc eject. It seems to solve the issue that I had unmounting PS2ISO.
• Changing the fan mode from dynamic to manual, there was a delay of 0.5 secs while dynamic fan control was checking the temps. If the mode was changed to manual, after the delay the fan control could change it back to another random value.
• The VSH Menu now uses much less CPU. The frame display now uses cached values refreshed at different intervals, instead of get them on each frame (~12 times per second). CFW version is loaded once, temps are updated every 3 secs, devices are updated every 6 secs, ip address and payload type are updated once every time the menu is enabled.
• Improved pad response when VSH Menu is on, keeping the same frame rate (~12Hz).
• Updater Russian & Italian lang files
• The installed plugins are now compiled without WEB_CHAT flag.
• Fixed "PS2 fan mode". Also this mode now is shown in SELECT+START and /cpursx.ps3
• /unloadprx.ps3?prx= now allows partial name or plugin id (e.g. /unloadprx.ps3?prx=VSH_MENU)

New features:

• In addition to the combos to open the browser directly from XMB, the new /browser.ps3 command and the 2 new menu options in VSH Menu.
• This build adds the combo L2+START to quickly launch the mounted game (disc icon) while being on XMB (no matter which column or option you have selected)
• Once a game is mounted via html, if you click on the displayed icon the game will be launched on the PS3. This is nice to start the game once it's mounted from your mobile This option uses the new command /play.ps3
• Added support for explore plugin commands using /browser.ps3$
• Added /play.ps3 to launch XMB Functions (e.g: /play.ps3?col=network&seg=seg_premo) <- this will start Remote Play server from XMB.
• Added /klic.ps3 to dump game KLicensee
• Added 2 backgrounds theme in Vsh menu (thanks jriko)

VSH Menu works fine on my end. Try restoring the original stage2.cex. If the problem persists, verify if 1.43.12 does the same and try reinstalling the latest 1.43.15 from github.

Lords [MENTION=89]aldostools[/MENTION] and [MENTION=118]kozarovv[/MENTION] and friends of this site: I confess that I am disappointed and almost giving up using VSH MENU Webman mod, after several frustrating attempts can not understand why only in my ps3 (and I hope it's just my ps3 though think many friends with the same problem and have no courage to report) can no longer do enable the VSH MENU as many times could previously use this VSH menu.
Strictly follow the above instructions [MENTION=89]aldostools[/MENTION], installed previous versions of Webman mod versions that I had used the VSH MENU such as Webman 1:43:10 and 1:43:12 Webman and no more of these versions could enable the VSH MENU.
point out that this problem started happening to me after I've also tried unsuccessfully to install at the installer "cobra_patcher_7.2" I downloaded right here on the site, to my delight I saw that other brave fellows also reported not having achieved just as I (also not it was possible to install manually because whenever I try to copy the file to the location stage2.cex dev_flash / rebug / snake / stage2.cex my ps3 hangs and does not allow to manually transfer the file).

Well, as I was saying, since I tried to turn on that fateful "cobra_patcher_7.2" no longer able to use the VSH MENU, I made up the following steps:
-again Installed CFW "rebug 4.76 lite";
-I I created the ps3 database;
-I have restored the PS3 file system;
-I have tested all the old versions of mod Webman that allow have VSH menu;
But nothing worked, and I am here asking for help to you that can help me (especially [MENTION=89]aldostools[/MENTION]) because I've done everything and I would be very happy that someone said it was a bug, but which he left this bug?
I am grateful and praise to anyone who can help me with this cruel doubt that is taking me sleep!

Note:
Remember that this problem only arose after unsuccessfully tried to install the "cobra_patcher_7.2" and that installer was to have installed the files and stage2.cex
webftp_server.sprx, is that the problem has something to do with the webftp_server.sprx file?

 

(also not it was possible to install manually because whenever I try to copy the file to the location stage2.cex dev_flash / rebug / snake / stage2.cex my ps3 hangs and does not allow to manually transfer the file).

dev_blind enabled with multiman?,once replaced files, disables dev_blind writing.

after restart

-again Installed CFW "rebug 4.76 lite";

enabled Cobra with rebug toolbox?

 

[MENTION=1274]pedrofilho1979[/MENTION] try installing the Habib 4.76 as it has cobra7.02.Then install latest build modman remembering to hold R1.
[MENTION=89]aldostools[/MENTION] I still cannot restore blocked server automatically when i Disable CFW.I have installed the latest build.Could i change that button combo to restore blocked servers instead of block?

 

dev_blind enabled with multiman?,once replaced files, disables dev_blind writing.

[MENTION=681]ka69[/MENTION],

The blocked servers (if some were blocked) are restored automatically when the syscalls are blocked with +

 

Yes thats precisely the problem they do not restore when i use that combo for syscalls.The severs remain blocked.

 

enabling dev_blind with multiman not understand?

The blocked servers (if some were blocked) are restored automatically when the syscalls are blocked with +

I downloaded the file again you sent correct I did everything according to their guidelines but unfortunately did not work out, I could not install the VSH menu. Anyway thank you for trying to help.
And please do not misunderstand me, I'm not talking about aldostools, that's not my intention, however, much about his work and his person, I know [MENTION=89]aldostools[/MENTION] always here to help us, I am very grateful for his work and the great professional who is just'm eagerly calling for the help of [MENTION=89]aldostools[/MENTION] because I trust much that it will help me since he is the creator of VSH menu.
Humbly ask aldostools that while it may review this my problemae if possible help me find a solution, because I believe that somewhere someone Estra with the same problem as me or maybe he enlighten me to find where I am going wrong.

If you use the zip I posted then you want to have cobra is on and webman is off in tool box. There is a webftp_server.sprx built into rebug 4.76.1 lite and you don't want it to load at the same time as the webftp_server.sprx that is installed from the zip.

This is why you turn webman off in tool box.

Please stop talking about aldolstools, he is a good guy and has done a lot for us users. Maybe he is not ignoring you and is at work or asleep or something...

 

Thanks for the update Matsumot0 & Aldostools masters, working perfectly with CFW habib cobra 4.76, working perfectly the VSH menu. It would be nice if you could add an option to edit the MAC address in a next update. Sorry for my bad English.

You can search the offset of your MAC address in LV1 and use poke.lv1 to replace it

1. The name is being truncated when it finds the string " [" (space + square bracket), because the software assumes it's a tag. In your case " [Ru]" or " [PSN]".
Some tags typically used are: [BLxSxxxxx] to include the title id in the name, [auto] to auto play, [gd] to auto enable gameDATA, [online] to auto-disable syscalls, [raw] to force use raw_iso.sprx in ntfs.

If you want to include your custom tags, omit the space before "[" or use a different character like "(" or "{".

2. It only works when PARAM.SFO is enabled, because your file names or folders do not include the title id between square brackets. Thus, the software is unable to identify the title id to show the covers.

3. Maybe you're using a build of webftp_server.sprx that does not have the screenshot feature. It's omitted in almost all the builds in the installer, because the feature is already found in VSH Menu for webMAN.

If you need the screenshot, try using this build: http://aldostools.org/temp/test/webftp_server.sprx

1. Understand, THX!

2. Not good news Mayby realy override title by file/folder name witout blocking PARAM.SFO ? Pleaseeeeee....
A want to organize my collection perfeclty, may be some else want it too. For example, I move article 'The' to end of game's title for nice sort in list

3. I'm use webftp_server_ps3mapi.sprx from 1.43.15 PKG. VSH screening fine with it (my screens you see in preavius post ).
... some minutes to test you webftp_server.sprx...

4. About video-rec.sprx. Combos for activate it (srlrct+R3) not worked. All combos and video-rec combo is activated in /setup.ps. Custom combos not created.
Nonetheless I'm start the game and after this via browser use http://ip.of.my.ps3/videorec.ps3. Top-right informer say "Record started...". After stop record via /videorec.ps3 informer say "Record stopped..." but none videos not present in video or VIDEO folders. Maybe you know what need to do else?

 

If you need the screenshot, try using this build: http://aldostools.org/temp/test/webftp_server.sprx

Yeah! Work fine. ps3mapi.sprx and anothe sprx-file will be update future for package installers ?

 

About custom path for screenshots. I'want add this function to combo that screen saves to /dev_hdd0/photo/screenshots with standart name by date. Tried this variations:

/browser.ps3$screenshot_xmb/dev_hdd0/photo/screenshots/%s.bmp - screenshots not created
/browser.ps3$screenshot_xmb/dev_hdd0/photo/screenshots/%s or /screenshots/%date% or /screenshots/ - screenshot creaed inside /dev_hdd0

May be need another variables?

May be need another variables?

2. Ok, I have changed the logic of how the option "PARAM.SFO" is processed. From now if the option is unchecked it will only skip the title from the PARAM.SFO. It will continue getting the title id from it.

You can download the test build again.

3. All the builds are always updated, but only the full edition has the screenshot feature. From 1.43.16 the updater will include the option to install the "full" edition.

4. Maybe your recording settings are compatible with the game that you recorded, or the game uses too much memory ... preventing the use of video recording plugin.

5. The screenshots will not display on XMB... to do that it requires that the file be registered in the database and I don't know how to do it... unless you know how to do it, you won't see that feature.

2. Only webftp_server.sprx, right?

4. Ok, I'll test another games with video_rec-plugin too. Select+R3 combo not start recording however...

5. Undestand. How create screenshots in custom path with classic screenshot_%date%_%time%.bmp name?

6. Custom combos. To use its needs create, e.g., wm_custom_r2_circle file (without file extention) in folder /dev_hdd0/tmp/wm_combo. Inside wm_custom_r2_circle need write

GET /restart.ps3

, right ?

Not work

/browser.ps3$screenshot_xmb/dev_hdd0/screenshots/.bmp - create file .bmp (file without name, only dot+ext) inside dev_hdd0/screenshots
/browser.ps3$screenshot_xmb/dev_hdd0/screenshots/ - create file screenshot_%date%_%time%.bmp inside dev_hdd0, not inside dev_hdd0/screenshots/

Can you test this on you last test build (1.43.16) ?
