Iris Manager Estwald/D_Skywalk/Miralatijera have released Iris Manager v2.42

IrisManager is a port of HermesManager based on PSLIGHT, Tiny3D, PS3Soundlib and OpenPS3FTP, is a completly legal open code manager Made with Homebrew tools.

Supports the custom firmwares: 3.41 (Hermes), 3.55 (Kmeaw), 4.21 & 4.30 CEX (with LV1 access, like Rogero or Rebug), 4.31 CFW, 4.21 DEX, 4.40 CEX MLT and 4.41CFW.

Changelog 2.42:
Fixed crash when detecting between CFW 4.40 and CFW 4.41.
(Thanks to Rancid-o for the fix and LoboGuara for the notification)

Changelog 2.41
1) New Italian language update (thanks AlexanderPs3Mod)
2) Added as Simplified and Traditional Chinese languages ​​(thanks Liqianyu)
3) Added emulation of syscall 879 (Bd Media ID) for mode “Payload Disc Less” (it’s commented below how it works)
4) Improved auto disc CEX less in CFWs 3.55, 4.21 and 4.30. With USB device mounted on exit. No USB device, remember to click “PS” in Iris Manager to display the disc). If your CFW requires mounting a USB device for disc-less, remember that pressing START (Global Options) and then SELECT can watch and record the Event ID generated.
5) Added payloads DEX CEX corrected and CFW 4.41 and corresponding to patches from PS3 Ita Fan Control Manager (thanks to Zz_SACRO_zZ and Rancid-o especially for contributing and greetings to the rest of the Team for initiating a project based in Iris Manager)
6) Also added the method corrects CFW Error 0×80010009 in sharing the same keys (from 4.21 to 4.41) but the version of the executable is greater than that of CFW. In this case, I made a custom implementation code from Ita PS3 Team:
- The games and updates are patched to use Option “Check Files” (Test Game) that in my opinion, is the right choice for this
- Instead of using fixed offsets to read version is taken from within the SELF / SPRX header offset to prevent a possible change in position of the data (which would leave the executable unusable) and simplify the routine, which will serve to all executables.
- Instead of patching to version 3.41 which can lead to confusion and perhaps create problems in the future, we proceed to the same version patch for CFW detected. Thus, always inform a compatible version with the same keys.
- It manages all file errors that may occur.
7) Sandungas suggestion, add routes /dev_hdd0/GAMES/covers and /dev_hdd0/GAMEZ/covers as potential places to find cover art style using Multiman and avoid duplication of data between Managers. Not consider looking covers external drives because the process will be slow and complicated and we can all easily copy (with Managers Archive) content to the internal disk.

Media ID on BD

In anticipation of a possible check BD Media ID (Export 0xEF666B52 in liblv2 and syscall 879) has been included its emulation in the payload Disc Less.

To get it you need to be in “With BDVD Controller” (With BDVD Controller) and insert the disk after running Iris Manager. Failure to do so, the syscall return Error 0×80010005 and it will not be possible to obtain the ID. Press SELECT on the disc icon, we see in the options “BD ID: XX XX …” in blue because it is a Bluray disc and yellow when it comes to a game on the hard drive to recover the information.

My original disk MGS4 seems to not have BD Media ID and returns all data to 0 and error 0×80010006: This will be the default mode of operation of the emulation, then possibly some old games lack it.

When you insert a disc, you create a file in / dev_hdd0/game/IMANAGER4/config containing the ID and extension. Did. For example, for Kill 00081.did BCES-Zone 2, which is used as temporary store ID.

Later when launching the game dede hard disk (internal or external), or entering their options with SELECT, Disc-Less mode that ID is taken and stored in the file BDMEDIA_ID in your root directory (for example, in my case, on /dev_hdd0/GAMES/Killzone2/BDMEDIA_ID) and stored by the syscall function 7 in the payload 40 to be used from the syscall 879.

In short: if the BD Media ID is 16 bytes to 0, it will return the ID and error 0×80010006. If by syscall 40 function 7 keep an average ID, this ID is returned without error.
Thus, if a game is to check if it is running from the original disk using that facility, will give you the correct ID and avoid problems.

Showtime Andreas Öman has released a new test build of Showtime v4.3.207 Testing

Recent changes:

4.3.207

Fix bug making 'Refresh metdata...' option in item menu not to work at all

4.3.206

Avoid loading .mkv attachments into RAM

Instead we keep a reference to where in the MKV file the attachment
is located and we can later open a slice of the mkv-file as the attachment.

This combined with the fact that freetype can open fonts from a file
handle reduces the static memory use for attachments to 0 bytes

Fixes #1689 (out of memory (av error -12) with certain MKV files)

4.3.203

Initial attempt of a built-in FTP client in Showtime

To use it enter 'ftp://ip.address.of.ftpserver' in search bar
or create a bookmark (much like the CIFS/SMB client)

Note that the code has only been tested against a few FTP servers
so it's probably still buggy. If you find any problems and want
to report please turn on "FTP logging" in settings:dev and include
the logfile in ticket.

Download it from the Brewology Store.

Estwald/D_Skywalk have released Iris Manager v1.49.3..

Iris Manager

Changelog

* If you load a game for PS3 (not PSN, a disc game), some data are stored in a file (lastgame). Holding down L1 on startup, when Iris Manager is loading again, it will load automatically the last game, unless their presence is not detected or error.

* If in the root directory of the game (where usually the PS3_DISC_SFB is found), you put a file name containing ps2disc.txt with the destination path (eg. /dev_usb000/dataps2 or /dev_hdd/GAME/dataps2), that folder is mounted as /dev_ps2disc.

This feature can be useful for games like Sing Star, that can read tracks from PS2 discs.

deank has released multiMAN v04.18.04 update.

multiMAN

04.18.04 (2012-01-15)
* Fixed a bug introduced in mM 04.17.00: mM skipping 1-letter filenames (x.yyy) when copying folders
* When on-screen-keyboard (OSK) is used and user cancels the entry mM will not accept the entered text
* Created proper ring-buffer for mp3 playback which should mean no more glitches/pauses of the music
* Restored support for GLC3.PNG for themes in 8×4 mode
* Increased screenshot JPEG quality to 90% and 1MB buffer size
* Toolbox/IPF from /app_home will be activated when you quit mM with {PS} button on 4.30 Rogero CFWs


The bug about skipping 1-letter filenames is present in versions 04.17.00/01/02/03/04/05, 04.18.00/01/02/03 so if you’re on one of these versions deank strongly suggests that you update to 04.18.04. Thanks to GotIt4Free for sounding the alarm.

04.18.03
* Changed method for scanning of control-info for eboot.bin/self/sprx files
* [* Install Package Function] won’t allow adding the same PKG twice and allows ‘deselecting’ when “Standard” method is used

There are some other changes/improvements, too.

p.s. Have in mind that the change/fix for checking if games require higher firmware will make mM scan (“Verifying data…”) your games at least once.
Download it from the Brewology Store.

or

Download multiMAN ver 04.18.04 UPD (20130115).zip (5.78MB)

http://www.sendspace.com/file/x7pycr
