IrisManager has been updated to v1.52. Following the previous breakthroughs for playing PSX ISOs on internal HDD/USB devices, which once was a Cobra exclusive feature. Has had the last several updates focused on improvements to the PSX ISO feature recently added. With a new v2 of the PSX Emulator, added support for .ISO and .MDF (alcohol) formats. As well as improvements to Memory Card functions, plus various other changes you can view below in the recent updates by the Iris Manager contributor's D_Skywalk & Estwald.

New Update:- 1.52

- Added check size when copying games (for the HDD if it is greater than the size + 1GB, aborts, in the case of USB if it is greater than the size + 1MB gives the possibility to abort)
- Added the default BD-Emu not mount the HDD: now you have two options, new and old, with a touch more latter
- Some parts of the code have been retouched, if influence random crashes when starting the program.
- The patch tools have been unified in the same zip file

Update - 1.51:

- Added support for 4.21 DEX
- Removed “PSX unsupported” message when a PSX “ISO” is launched (syscall 8 is required to make it work; LV1 patches are not needed)
- New version of the PSX emulator V2 (ps1_emu_patched2.self, do not rename it)
- Added support for .ISO and .MDF (alcohol) formats for PSX images.
* Images in MODE1/2048, MODE2/2336 and MODE2/2448 (CD-XA) are also supported.
* All the images of the same game must be in the same format.

Update - 1.50.6:

- Added option to list games per category using R2 (first all, then each category)
- Fixed issue where BR drive was dissapearing.
- Fixed problem with a poke that could affect 3.55.

Update - 1.50.5:

- Ability to run PSX ISO (since 1.50.0)
- Merged with code from D_Skywalk
- Fixed small bugs (the FTP bug was fixed in 1.50.1)
- Added option to copy PSX games from USB to HDD and viceversa.
- MC now is cached on internal HDD and updated on the original folder returning to Iris Manager

IrisManager has really gained my attention adding something new like PS1 ISO support. I think this is exactly what this Backup Manger needed. Keep coming with the features other don't offer!!!

Hopefully this ISO support dont stop here.

Where does one get the PS1_emu.self v2? I don't get it, why isn't this included with pkg?

@underball I don't see it too. Readme reads "Install ps1_emu_patched2.self (see patch_ps1emuv2.rar, notes.txt)" Or am I loosing it? Anyone else?

From what Im seeing, you need to extract your PS3 PS1_emu.self and then patch it, and then put it on the Iris Manager folder on the PS3. It cannot be included with pkg because I think each ps1_emu.self is individual.

Patching is not working here though :/

Copy the keys, ldr_curves and vsh_curves from the data folder in TrueAncestor SELF Resigner and paste them into the data folder in patch_tools_ps1emu_libfs folder

Ok, so irismanager-4-x v1.50.6 worked perfectly. Played a game too.

Deleted 1.50.6, and installed 1.52. I copied both libfs_patched.sprx and ps1_emu_patched2.self to the new IrisManager folder.
Now when I try to start v1.52 from xmb, I get a languages.ini error and it throws me back to the XMB.
It did install correctly though.

Anybody?

In the rar file, extract the language·ini from irismanager-4-x/LANGUAGES/ENGLISH
Copy language·ini to dev_hdd0/game/IMANAGER4/config

Any word on when PS2 iso compatibility will arrive for the first batch of PS3s? That would be great. I don't want to buy a friggin' cobra dongle to play them.

This really needs to be explained in the instructions readme for this package.

I found a pre-made one posted by loboguerra elsewhere, but to not include the whole instructions on how to patch the ps1_emu is pretty stupid.
