I made a program for Open Manager just for my use, but i decided later to share it with your community, hoping that someone can help me.
It is called Open Manager Tool
I think it works well, and for now it only add some feature more than the others "splitting programs".
The program check the integrity of the directories and the fat32 file compatibility, and add for every Game a so called "OMT.PRO" file.
That file contains all necessary data to autorun programs with specific options, such as controller patch or internal external hd installation compatibility.
Where: HDD0 says it is not compatible with internal HD and HDD1 that it's compatible. USB0 same as internal but for fat32 external SC20 says if controller patch syscall_2 is to be set or not BDR0 if an original BDrom must be putted or not into drive. OMV1.1.2 says that this game has been tested with this version of OpenManager ODV1.1 says that the game has been tested with that version of PSGroove dongle. CMT is for user comments
I made the structure easy, because i need help from someone to port this option files into Open Manager!!!
I cannot do by myself for time reasons, and for office reasons ( i cannot have a testing ps3 here )
The Open Manager modified has to, for example, look into these options and show to the user: the comments, the warnings if running internal compatible program from external drive (or disable these games), or running games without original bdrom inserted.
Could also check for compatibility version of the Dongle and the Manager.
The program has, also, some interesting features to manage these files, such us import/merge function and so on.
So, i'm also searching for proud guys that can fill out all the data! it's very important for all the community to share these settings!.
I will continue to maintain the program by myself, as Open Manager evolves, but i will also appreciate help by other coders.
As soon as possible i will upload the sources for that projects
They are compilable under Linux,Mac and Windows.
Edit:
Added source code for Open Manager Tool.
They are now without comments, sorry for that!
The entire project is compatible with "Qt SDK by Nokia Opensource".
If someone can compile the application under Linux or MacOs, will be very appreciated!
Please report bugs!
And remember to choose the root directory containing all game folders!
Edit: Added the plugin to show correctly the Icons
Edit: Version 1.1
Corrected some minor bugs.
Added utilities management for Covers.
The program will automatically add the covers located into "coversRepository" folder, if the correct game is found.
Covers can be imported from various image formats.
The program converts them into PNG compatible files with correct sizes (480Xiii) as the original Open Manager needs.
Also added support for side and back covers..
for future development of loaders... or future 3d covers...
Edit:
Added source files for Open Manager 117 modified to support omt.pro files.
It's not fully tested until i'll go home on sunday
Someone has reported that sometimes the controller patch doesn't work automatically.
Be patient i will check on sunday!
Edit:
Added compiled version for Ubuntu 32 bit. Thx to Lichtjaar!
Whooops! i forgot to put the icons folder for the installation! looks very bad without them!
Tomorrow morning here in gmt+1.00 i will put the correct one!
I'm working to add a library for icon0.png files.
Stupid question. Where do you get the framework from? Do i need to install Xcode?
Sorry. Fixed the problem. I did not package the app with the required qt framework. The attached app should work for you. I have tested it on another Mac of mine that does NOT have the SDK installed.
Edit: I will try to make the build include the provided icon in the source as the App icon.
