Thanks for the amazing Webman Mod!

 

Lots of improvements.. thanks aldo
So, what's with the new fan control algorithm?

 

Thanks for keeping the good work on webman mod. Aldo, could you take a look on why webman mod doesnt work (or doesn´t let you access configuration) on ps3 with broken bluetooth/wifi module?
Sman just works fine and i guess it uses a similar method. Couldnt remove that check?
This was previously talked here at psxplace (the page doesnst let me post a link wich was from this same site). Just happened that after many time without using y ps3, the BT module doesnt work, tried to install webman but got those errors about not having network/internet even thou im connected by cable, and like i said, sman works without problems.

 

Lots of improvements.. thanks aldo
So, what's with the new fan control algorithm?

The new algorithm is just an alternative method to cool your system in a less aggressive way than the original dynamic fan controller.

The fan speed is set proportionally to the current temperature with these 4 simple rules:
- If temp < 60°C, the system will use SYSCON mode (ideal for cool environments)
- Between 60°C and 69°C, the fan speed will be 31% + 2% per degree
- Between 70°C and 78°C, the fan speed will be 50% + 5% per degree
- Above 78°C, then fan speed will be set to 98%

These are the values:
60°C=31%, 61°C=33%, 62°C=35%, 63°C=37%, 64°C=39%, 65°C=41%, 66°C=43%, 67°C=45%, 68°C=47%, 69°C=49%
70°C=50%, 71°C=55%, 72°C=60%, 73°C=65%, 74°C=70%, 75°C=75%, 76°C=80%, 77°C=85%, 78°C=90%,+79°C=98%

It is the same algorithm implemented in the internal fan controller of MAMBA 8.2

For 60°C and above, the fan speed will be equal or greater than the minimum fan speed.
e.g. If min fan speed = 40%, between 60°C and 64°C the fan speed will be set to 40%.

 

I'm always impressed with your work as well as other devs. I noticed that if I try to pass small files by FTP, simply the connection terminates and I have to reboot the PS3 to get back to work. Do you know if the problem is with the HEN or with webmanMOD? Thanks again

 

with neither one of them,problem is with your filezilla/client and/or connection.use LAN with cat5e cable and single or maximum two simultaneous connections.

 

1.47.23.2 is available @ github
- Added update from XMB (download is only 2MB) - instant update after install, just need to reboot.
- Fixed a regression mounting /dev_blind

 

Aldo tank you very much, muchas gracias hermano!

@aldostools

thanks for update, in regards to: Fix black screen on home brews launched during content scanning.

My PS3 (Super Slim 4003) as of today is still prone to black screen hangups.
I say hangups, because thats what console does, it just becomes non responsive..

Ive HEN 2.2.2, Webman .23 and Multiman 4.84HEN (I hasten to add that on HEN 2.1.1 I had no black screen problems)

Ive noticed the crashes/hangups with multiman.
Yesterday before Webman update to version .23 Irisman blacked screened every time, now its intermittent hangups/crashes/black screens, that require console turned off at mains.

In regards to the new fan control logarithm, it is very good..
But I hasten to mention, my console now runs idle at 63oC and when gaming 67oC+ and only because I re-did the thermal paste, with arctic paste (before this my console, which was hardly used ran at 75oc+-80oC+..), the paste had hardened complexly.
But now with your new fan controls the fan ramps up gaming and ramps down on game exit, brilliant, thanks.

So, if your super slim is running in 70oC region or above, you need to redo the thermal paste

 

I have a small problem, some shortcuts like L2+Start and L2+R2 dont working

 

thank you for upload, keep going you do great job

Please verify that these shortcuts are selected in /setup.ps3

This selected, I already had this problem before. It's not something that bothers me, I just find it strange that this happens only in my CFW

That issue was in an earlier build, but it was fixed weeks ago.
I will check it again when I get back home... Thanks for your feedback.

Thanks for your report... L2+START and L2+R2 were left disabled by mistake during a test.
It should be fixed in wMM 1.47.23.4 beta

You can also use start (hold 2 seconds) to open Sman instead of L2+R2.

 

Is my PS3 or the same thing happens with the "toggle data" shortcut with select + square

 

wMM 1.47.23.5 beta is available for download from XMB and from Github.

The major enhancements in this build are:
- The VSH memory container [MC] now can be selected by id on /setup.ps3 (4-bg is recommended if video_rec is not used)
- Improved FTP server receiving small files.
- Increased the max number of FTP threads from 8 to 10
- iso folders & packages now are created on hdd0 on startup
