Why I have app_home? I don´t understand what I do.

/app_home/PS3_GAME is a "virtual" path... some backup managers have an option to "mount" the backup in that icon

In ManaGunz, when you are in the game selector screen, and you click in triangle over a game icon (to see his settings), there is one setting to mount the backup in app_home

Otherway (by not enabling that option) when you click X in the game icon (to mount it) ManaGunz is going to take you back to XMB and you need to insert an original BluRay disc in the drive (a real disc of a different game)
So... you insert game2 in the drive and you see how the icon of game1 "pops up" in XMB taking the place of app_home

So... app_home is working a bit like a "discless" mode (because doesnt requires to insert a real BD disc in the drive)
But the compatibility of this app_home mount mode is limited, some games are not going to work by using it

--------------
To be honest, im not sure how many of the backup managers functions are going to work fine in HEN
 
I have a few questions:

1) Why does sometimes when exiting a game, when going back to XMB, my custom wave is changed for the default one? It does this randomly, sometimes I get the custom wave back, sometimes it stays with the stock one.

2) Why I'm now not able to use NoPSN Downloader nor PKG Linker? After installing those, there are no icons for them, maybe HEN's XML does not suppot HANextra slots nor PKG Linker under Package Manager. If its posible I would like to get them back, or at least know how to mod the XML so I can add them back.

Thanks in advance.

Edit: Fixed the wave by installing the custom one to HEN's virtual flash (or whatever it's called).

- About NoPSN Downloader : you are right, the 5 HAN extra slots were removed from the XMB.So even if NoPSN Downloader is installed, it doesn't show up. Well, for an easy solution to this, just download the NoPSN Resources from HAN Toolbox - they are the same. Seems that the CFW compatibles NoPSN app requiere eboot signing so I won't expend HAN NoPSN Resources with these.
- Same for PKG Linker. Use HAN Toolbox > External content.

So for PKG Linker, I still need to install the Package_List.pkg? I guess that the answer is yes because the PS3 need the IP and stuff.

Thank you,
I will not use multiman or managunz to load backups, I think it is more useful to convert backup copies with cfw2ofw tool and transfer them by multiman ftp.
I think that should be activated by multiman or by sen enabler.
I appreciate the information
 
Did someone try to use PSN? I'm curious if it's possible to use it, using backups of cfw2ofw, as I did in 4.82 and 4.83.
I was thinking about removing the pkg of offline hen, deleting temporary files with sen enabler and restarting the console in ofw mode with the same application, but this time do not activate hen.
And anyone knows why my psn logo is always in red?

I have error 8001009 because I try to use a custom eboot on my Persona 5 CD Backup. How should I resign it ? (the eboot is debug type)
 
Well I'm basically new to all this homebrew thing, been following the psx scene for some years now but never did something homebrew or cfw related. As of today since Hen release i been testing some of the homebrews posted here and the ones that work the best for me are MultiMAN and ManaGunZ, tried IrisMAN which should be supported by Hen but it didnt work for me, always blackscreen. Tried webMAN and at first 1.47.17 release didnt work for me, mounting games always froze my ps3 and had to restart it until i installed 1.47.18 and used a fix pkg, games started to work using the folder that hen enables to mount games, they dont launch mounting it to a game disc because it gives Error Code 80028f22, and fan control doesn't work. some games i tested work fine with multiman and some work the best with managunZ, at first they are a pain to launch but i dont know if is related to hen which is not 100% accurate and give blackscreen and restart to recovery mode but after a couples of tries they launch properly.
 
by the way, a few games are stuck on loading screen never going pass that, i don't know if i have to resign the eboot or anything else but im going to keep testing features

If your games are stuck on loading screen, resign the eboot with the following tool : ESSE RESIGNER

Then you put your EBOOT.BIN in the folder and do the following :

A. Resign EBOOT
2. Resign to 3.55
2 (not compress EBOOT)

and you're good !
 
Ok guys,one more noob question: is possible to install or play direct backuped games on a fat32 500gb HDD? What homebrew i need to use? Whats will be the game format for each System? ( PS1/PSP/PS2/PS3)

Thank you!

You could use multiman or managunZ for backup playing. PSX Games would be iso or bin/cue files, PS2 games are not supported yet (except as a PS2 Classics Convert type like on HAN) and PS3 games have to be of JB/Backup type : a folder with all the files, not an iso ifle
 
I'm having trouble enabling HEN usually I have to restart (hard reboot) the console more than 5 times to get it to enabled correctly, otherwise the hombrew doesn't boot (error 80010017) or it crashes in a black screen, and it takes a lot of time ,also there's no way to tell if it has enabled correctly without opening a hombrew app, webman mod notifications are the faster way to know if it has been enabled correctly
 
2 tests:

ReACT psn don't work for me, just blackscreen. the msg error says (UNKNOW CFW!) For me, so i think they don't launched a version for this ''semi-cfw''

Mod menus like gta v online and black ops 2 works (Online)


Tested by me on my slim 3001a.
