@aldostools

Found a small bug with webMAN 1.47.25 in displaying the CELL and RSX temps - RSX temp has been cut short.

 

@aldostools I've discovered another bug, now in XMB PS1 games folder. For some reason in XMB it shows me that I have only 58 PSX ISOs, but via web it shows correctly all my 81 ISOs.

I can't tell from what version of wMM this problem had appeared, but as far as I remember version 1.47.20 or so didn't had this problem, I believe.

Maybe I should try and completely uninstall and then reinstall wMM?

It depends of the screen resolution. It looks fine in the screens that I have tested.

You can adjust the parameters in /dev_hdd0/xmlhost/game_plugin/sman.css

If at the moment that you scanned the XML there was not enough memory or if memory profile does not allow more games in the section, the scanning will stop.

The HTML list can produce different results due the games are not grouped in sections like XML.

I recommend you that re-scan the XML again manually and disable the content scanning at startup. Also try changing the memory profile to allow more games in PSX section.

 

Aldo, how do you play Sega CD via wMM? BIOS_CD_x.bin and the game (Sonic CD) are copied into the ROMS/GEN/ folder but not detected.
I have installed pkg_launcher and retroach 1.7.7
Thanks.

Reference:

I haven't tried Sega CD lately... I think the BIOS goes in a directory of RetroArch.
I don't recall the name of the folder.

With the "item priority", as far as I know, it cannot be grouped again.
It becomes independent.

I have tried it, but it didn't work... did you manage to make it work as you suggested?

By the way, why am I unable to update webMAN MOD via built-in update option on PS3? It returns with error 80029567 at 1% downloading an update. I am on FERROX 4.84 Cobra 7.55 firmware now if it matters.

Try with Rebug 4.84.2... I just tested it again and it's working in Rebug.

Thank you for the file. I installed it on Rebug 4.84.2 and the icon didn't stay in a static place as required. If I press SQUARE the icon gets hidden in the albums or in the folders by format.

As I mentioned earlier, a workaround would be to modify category_game.xml and add a new query for PS2U10000. The problem is that many users won't like this "solution" and it would cause more issues/complains than benefits just to be able to auto-play PS2 Classics from sLauncher or from VSH menu.

The auto-play works when the game is mounted from "webMAN Games" menu. So for now I recommend to use that method of launch PS2 Classics.

 

It is suggested to add a set of combination key:Select + X to dismount game(same function as Select + O)
Because on the Japanese version PS3,the cross button is cancel function
So hopefully developers can add this functionality

Just use xregistry to make the button swaps for X/O permanent. Makes life much easier.

When item priority is used the app etc exist outside of any folders. I use this for multiMAN and keep the rest in folders.

Yes. The issue with that solution is that many people get used a layout and it's hard to change when you have ages using it. webMAN MOD now supports both layouts to solve this issue..

Yes I used it years ago. But for some reason, the item priority has no effect on my Rebug. I would have been a good option, since it's easy to detect if that package is installed. As the pkg is not behaving as expected on my system, I do not plan to support it.

 

@aldostools

Aldo I came up with another idea probably already somewhere in this forum exchanged "maybe"?
Auto-add covers ps3/ps2/psp/psx ISO to folders like config for ps2 is it possible? after installing multiman cover pack? Well, unless there's a function like that that I do not know about.

Thank you! Mem option was set to Min (320 KB) for some reason. Changed it to Standard (864 KB), rescanned XML, rebooted PS3 and problem had gone.

multiMAN and IRISMAN auto download covers, so when you run them the games get the covers automatically in webMAN.

Additionally, you have the online covers (a service provided by @DeViL303) that will show on XMB the covers for the games with missing covers.

And you have offline covers packs
https://www.psx-place.com/threads/multiman-cover-pack-v7-30.23748/

I think all covers options are already covered

 

I don't know if this is a bug, but sometimes when I uninstall webMAN MOD, install new version.
After PS3 will reboot while I'm holding L1 buttom, I cannot enter
webMAN Games -> webMAN Setup -> PS3 webMAN [Setup].
I'm getting:

When I'll power off, power on PS3, settings seems to work.

 

@aldostools I found a small problem that repeats itself from a few versions. I permanently removed all wmm files from the disk and reinstalled it. And now the problem after setting all the options on the one that suits me for saving and restarting ps3, wmm crash and deactivates. To make it work again I have toggle cobra on/off. Probably too big change of settings at once crash wmm.

 

Hi to everyone, thanks to accept me, web man its awesome, and i update webman mod to 1.43.25, and all its fine just the fan on my ps3 cech-3011a, when turn of the console, the fan keeps on all the time, i had to unplug de power cord to.shutdown, anyone had the same thing?

Hello DEX357,
I have tried to reproduce your issue selecting all the options in /setup.ps3 but I couldn't reproduce the bug. Maybe if you post the exact options that you selected I could reproduce it and check what is crashing the plugin.

I don't know if this is a bug, but sometimes when I uninstall webMAN MOD, install new version.
After PS3 will reboot while I'm holding L1 buttom, I cannot enter
webMAN Games -> webMAN Setup -> PS3 webMAN [Setup].
I'm getting:

When you uninstall and re-install webMAN, the settings are removed, then restored to the default values. These include scan for content at startup which may delay the startup of the http server. You will get the error if access the page and the service is not ready yet. If you retry few seconds later the /setup.ps3 should be available.

 

@aldostools ,

Don't know if this is a bug or not but when I unistalled webMAN mod from the option it also removed the installer icon and entry from the XMB but not the actual installer folder from the HDD, so it was on the HDD but not seen on the XMB.

I had to manually delete the folder from the HDD using MultiMAN File Manager then reinstall the installer pkg then reinstall webMAN MOD.

I did this because for some reason webMAN MOD was not showing the current IDPS being used, it kept constanlty showing the EID0 IDPS even though I had converted back to CEX so it should of shown the EID5 IDPS. So ithought that maybe something didn't install coreectly, so I removed all traces of webMAN MOD then re-installed it. The previsous version I used which was 1.47.09 didn't do this.

I wasn't using anything to spoof my IDPS or PSID at the time but I normally use CCAPI to do this anyways and it wasn't installed at the time.

The installer is not deleted intentionally...
1- The installer can be used to re-install the plugin if you need it again.
2- The installer is independent. It can be removed at any moment, before or after uninstall.

However, the issue with IDPS could be a bug.
Currently the IDPS/PSID are cached in the recent versions. I need check this.

 

@aldostools i rec video for you step by step what i did, and after video i cobra off and on and wmm work witch new settings :/

Edit1. Also I notice the option to remove singstar icon disappear
