Hello mate. Thanks for your answer. I have Webman Mod updated to the latest version. I do not use MultiMan because it presented conflicts with WebMan, besides it is more comfortable to use Webman to launch games in ISO format. I installed Multiman some time ago, but having errors with webman I uninstalled it.
PS: I have HEN to the latest version 2.3.1.

hmm...i dont know what the problem is then...i only had this problem if i used multiman (usually i only used it for file manager) then exited and tried later to unmount with webman. i havent had the problem since several webman updates back.

it may be necessary to do a clean reinstallation of HEN and Webman Mod, including the HFW. it may be that way it solves. Another bug that I would like to report to the developers, is that when I enter Webman's configuration, in the configuration section of quick accesses with key combination, when uncheck certain combinations of buttons, some others stop working. For example Select + O to dismount game. So I must enable all other combinations to make it work.

I have another query ... what is the best method to store and run games from the internal HDD of the console? or rather, the best game format? PKG, ISO or folder? Thank you for your attention. Greetings.

 

What are the differences between the two uninstall options for webman mod?

AFAIK there's only one uninstall option in XMB. Where did you see 2 uninstall options?

ISO is the best because it doesn't require a rap like pkg and can be run from any device type (ntfs, net, fat32, internal HDD). Also the compatibility is better than folders.

Folder is recommended only if you need to modify the game. e.g. to add dlc to PS3 extra folder or to patch files.

Pkg is good because you don't need a backup manager, but they only work from internal HDD (unless you use gameDATA) and need a rap or a fix that will break when the game is updated.

Sorry, I didn't make it clear, what is the difference between uninstalling webman mod and uninstalling webman (unloading webman[R2+L3+R3] from memory)

R2+L3+R3 unloads webMAN MOD from memory, but the plugin stays installed on hdd.
So the next time that you reboot on CFW or enable HEN, the plugin will load again.

If you uninstall webMAN MOD, the files are remove from hdd and reboot.
So the next time that you reboot on CFW or enable HEN, the plugin will load not load because the files do not exist on hdd.

@aldostools just to report, as my controller is bugged and keep pressing random buttons

I realized sMan Gui works even without selecting it in WebManMod, cuz here it keeps appearing even i disabled it and rebooted a lot of times XD

 

@aldostools I have two questions for you. You would add such a small function as the selection of information appearing on the screen in the infobox after mount game. Two infoboxes appear. 1. The path of the game 2. Mounted game. It was nice to be able to choose what information should be displayed on the screen. I personally would prefer the lack of information displayed on the screen only info about the incorrect miunted of the game. Be the second info about mounted game and the incorrect info mounted game.

And second quastion.
I have already asked about it on the forum, but is it possible to remove the highlighted texts in wmm?

This is not a webMAN feature... The XMB file manager is an official feature that @DeViL303 discovered years ago.

The text that you marked on the picture cannot be removed unless you patch some sprx / rco files in /dev_flash

 

Yep but its in WMM XMB
#seg_webman_system_files

I have no idea how to hide these nasty access paths

Edit webMAN_PL.xml (or the xml corresponding to the selected language) and remove this line:

<Query class="type:x-xmb/folder-pixmap" key="seg_webman_system" src="#seg_webman_system_files"/>

This will remove the whole segment "System Files" (Pliki systemowe) which allows to navigate all file systems and remove files and folders.

webMAN_PL.xml and the other xml files are found in:

Bonjour @aldostools , bien le bonjour mon ami.

Il existe un problème avec le sLaunch contenu dans le "webMAN-Mod-1.47.25" (PS2 sous le HEN-2.3.1). Si je l'utilise pour lancer des jeux PS2 au format "PS2 Classic Placeholder" et si ce jeu possède une image en ".PNG" nommée comme lui, alors le lancement ne s'effectue pas correctement.
En effet, la position du lancement se met tout en haut de la colonne "Jeu" et rien d'autre ne se passe, il faut se mettre directement sur l'icône du "PS2 Classics Placeholder" qui est située dans un regroupement par Album et là, le lancement peut être fait.
Normalement, si c'est WMM qui lance le jeu, tout se passe très bien. L'image du jeu se copie sur celui du "Classics Placeholder" et le jeu peut être lancé sans souci.

Donc, un problème existe avec le sLaunch et les images des jeux.

Merci par avance si tu peux corriger ce problème.

Hello @aldostools, good morning my friend.

There is a problem with the sLaunch contained in "webMAN-Mod-1.47.25" (PS2 under HEN-2.3.1). If I use it to launch PS2 games in "PS2 Classic Placeholder" format and if this game has a ".PNG" image named after it, then the launch is not done correctly.
Indeed, the position of the launch is put at the top of the column "Game" and nothing else happens, it must be put directly on the icon of "PS2 Classics Placeholder" which is located in a grouping by Album and there, the launch can be done.
Normally, if WMM starts the game, everything is going very well. The image of the game is copied to that of the "Classics Placeholder" and the game can be started without worry.

So, a problem exists with the sLaunch and the images of the games.

Thank you in advance if you can correct this problem.

webMAN_PL.xml and the other xml files are found in:
/dev_hdd0/game/XMBMANPLS/USRDIR/FEATURES

I'm sorry but we did not understand. I do not want to delete "System Files" I want to edit these entries so that I can not see them a

/
fs:cell_FS_ADMINES_device.Cell_FS_ADMINFS;
etc.

so that the structure looks like this

/app_home

/host_root

/dev_flash

/dev_flash2

/dev_flash3

/dev_hdd0

BTW. I've already learned how to modulate xml so I know how to delete something from xmb :P

Bonsoir mon ami @Algol

The PS2 Placeholder can be located on any place of XMB, it depends of how you have the XMB grouped. So it is hard to set the position on it. Even the copy inside webMAN Games menu is hard to locate automatically.

The auto-position for PS2 Classics is currently designed to mount them from XMB.
As sLaunch can be called from any column in the XMB, the auto-position is even harder.

Days ago I was trying to launch PS2 Classics from /app_home/PS3_GAME icon like I do for PSN games, but it doesn't work... it shows an error about video. So for the moment there is not a fix for this issue.

BTW. I've already learned how to modulate xml so I know how to delete something from xmb :P

These labels that you want to remove are not hard-coded in XML files.
They are in rco and system sprx files... That goes beyond the scope of webMAN MOD.

Try asking to XMB modders... IMO @DeViL303 is the king in that area

 

Hey guys, found a problem with PS2 Auto CONFIGs on "FERROX 4.84 CEX V1.00 COBRA 7.55" firmware. With enabled "Auto CONFIG" option of ps2emu the CONFIG files created correctly but patches didn't make any effect (tried Silent Hill Origins with its white screen fog bug, both NTSC and PAL versions).

Then I've installed firmware "REBUG 4.84.2 REX" and tried CONFIGs again - they work! (also on this firmware CPU/RSX temperature is shown in PS2 mode). I made a backup of REBUG's /dev_flash/ps2emu folder and returned back on firmware "4.84 FERROX Cobra 7.55 CFW by Alexander" (mostly because I like the look of vanilla blue PS logos rather than red).

I've noticed that sizes of all ps2emu files are different with REBUG ones. After changing FERROX ps2emu files with REBUG's ps2emu files the CONFIGs started working properly.

So, there's something messed up with default FERROX ps2emu. @Alexander please make a fixed version of your firmare if it's possible.

OK, j'ai compris. Mais ce problème n'existe pas si le jeu n'a pas d'image attachée, si c'est l'icône bleu qui s'affiche alors tout va bien, aucun mauvais placement du lancement du jeu n'est visible.

Passe une bonne soirée chez toi et en compagnie de toute ta famille.

Algol "le papy".

 

Bon noite mon ami @Algol
Please try the latest build available on github / brewology or through online update.

Now webMAN do not attempt to auto-focus the PS2 Classic Launcher when the .BIN.ENC is mounted from sLaunch Menu.

It will require that you refresh the XML to get the fix.

Regarding the issue not happening if the game has a blue icon, it should be a coincidence. The auto-focus / auto-play does not depend if the game has an icon or not.

I hope you and your kids enjoy this new build.
