  • Estwald Releases Iris Manager v1.60 Beta 2

    Developer Estwald is back with more updates to Iris Manager. This update brings further improvements to PSX emulation such as not needing to patch ps1_emu. The developer also voices his preference of using ps1_netemu and urges you to read the .txt file included in the download as it contains new information regarding PSX ISO's for Iris Manager 1.60+.


    Changelog: Iris Manager 1.60
    • Added level PSX emulation syscall: patch no longer needed and can delete emulators versions "patched"
    • Works with ps1_netemu. Moreover, it is my choice RECOMMENDED smoother and games will I have to go wrong with ps1_emu, here are perfect
    • Files are needed. cue with the same name as the. bin. img, etc, to describe the ski audio. If it contains only the binary data, Iris Manager generates its corresponding TOC. psx_storage default also generates a TOC enough for this type of game. As I can complete wakefulness psx_storage operation.
    • Ability to load an external ROM to allow access to the transmission Memory Card (getting into dev_hdd0/game/IMANAGER4 ps1_rom.bin file.)
    • Pressing CIRCLE + EQUIS with external ROM enabled, runs ejected disc so you can access the PSX MC Manager without having to disconnect the USB device. Unplugging/replugging once, the disc will be mounted and run. More details IMPORTANT iso.txt psx 1.60, within the file. rar



    Extract from the "IMPORTANT 1.60 psx iso.txt" file included in the download.

    ATTENTION: the new method do not require ps1_emu or ps1_netemu patched

    Adding PSX isos for Iris Manager 1.60+:
    • Create PSXGAMES folder in root of HDD or USB devices
    • Put the PSX game folder here. The name of the folder is used as game name from Iris Manager.
    • PSX game files must be .iso, .bin, .img, .mdf (Alcohol 120) (or with caps .BIN, .IMG ...) containing sectors 2048 or 2336 or 2352 or 2448 bytes. You can put from 1 to 8 files with isos.
    • NEW!!!: Add .cue or .toc files (Iris Manager generate .toc when you copy your original CD) WITH THE SAME NAME as .iso, .bin, .img, etc. (Iris Manager ignore "FILE" token in the .cue file) with the tracks info, for Games with Audio tracks
    • DONīT USE .cue with WAV/MP3 files!!. All audio datas must be contained in the .bin/.img file file
    • Iris Manager use "TRACK", "MODE2", "AUDIO" and "INDEX 1" tokens to create the TOC for the game. If the game contain one track with DATAS only, Iris Manager can build the TOC data itself (internally psx_storage can also work, by default, with only ISO datas)
    • Iris manager get it in alphanumerical order. When you launch a game with multiple isos you can rotate the order in one screen in the last moment.

    Only one rule for multiple isos: they must have the same sector size in all!
    • You can put a COVER.JPG file (max size of 1024 x 1024 pixels)
    • PSX config is saved in the game folder

      Estwald already said a number of times that he WILL NOT be doing PS2 or PSP backups.

      @DeadPixel99 He said he wouldn't find the solution himself, however should an open source method be released I'm sure he would add it. Just like he said with PSP implementation but oct0xor already has PSP working for CFW 3.55 and looks as if he is waiting for Cobra to release their latest version.

      One thing I noticed, the animation with the CD cover images only works when it wants to. Sometimes the "zoom in, zoom out" Cover image works, sometimes, it does nothing. Any idea how to enable or disable this feature?

      Change Background Color in Global Options
      Iris Manager have 8 background colors
      The "animation zoom in, zoom out" on cover images, is activated in 4 background colors.

      I am experiencing a bug with Beta 3:

      1. When I exit multiMAN (back to XMB) and then launch IRIS, I get a black screen from IRIS. Have to press Power button (on/off) to reboot PS3.
      2. When I exit a PSX Game that I had loaded with IRIS, and return to IRIS, sometimes, IRIS GUI freezes, I can see the first page of game covers, but I can't select none of them or switch pages. I have to kill the power of the PS3 to reboot.


      Testing on KMEAW 3.55 with no patches emu files in the IRIS folder.
