 - RELOAD.SELF from the application can be used in other homebrew tools to install PKG files via the bubble-method
 - Install Package Files app works on all firmwares

===========

04.14.00

Changes related only to 4.20-4.30 CEX/DEX CFWs:

BD-Mirror:
* BD-Mirror option now supports USB HDDs mounted as /dev_usb000 to /dev_usb127
* BD-Mirror option uses different approach now and doesn't move the PS3_GAME folder of USB games and doesn't modify the mount table
* After using BD-Mirror for USB games, the usb drive is still accessible in XMB (Video/Music/Photo/Saves)
* Improved disc-less support with BD-Mirror option enabled

USB Ports issues:
* When using more than one USB device mM will disconnect/reconnect them from/to the USB bus in the proper order
* This fixes games that crash when started from USB when multiple devices are connected

NTFS/PFS usage:
* It is now possible to use any NTFS usb drive without configuring its Vendor/Device IDs in USB.CFG
* When switching to NTFS/PFS mode use only one USB HDD connected (mM supports up to 2 partitions: FAT32+NTFS, NTFS+NTFS, FAT32+FAT32)
* To access the contents of NTFS drives use mmOS and /pvd_usb000 /pvd_usb001 (games from NTFS drives won't show in other display modes)

Other:
* Better support for data CD/DVD/BD discs and improved "Enable Direct Disc Access" function
* Improved BD-Mirror function for games on internal HDD
* Games started from mmOS icons/shortcuts handle BD-Mirror/Ext.Game Data options properly
* Online update server updated (5320 PS3 game covers and 3420 PS1/PS2 game covers)
* Updated showTIME media player (for mM) to version 04.01.264

Install Package Files (standalone application):
* Supports split pkg files named in the following format:
  filename.pkg.0 -> filename.pkg.63
  filename.pkg.001 -> filename.pkg.064
  filename.pkg.66600 -> filename.pkg.66663

* Upon launch/refresh the following folders are scanned:
 /dev_usb***/
 /dev_usb***/PKG
 /dev_usb***/packages
 /dev_hdd0/PKG
 /dev_hdd0/packages

* Updated stDISC application (better drive reset timing and support for 4.30CFW)
* Updated gameDATA, bdRESET and lastGAME applications to support 4.30CFW
* Updated showTIME media player (standalone) to version 04.01.264 (CEX/DEX)

>>> SUPPORT FOR AVCHD AND BDMV STRUCTURES <<<

Spoiler

multiMAN supports managing AVCHD and BDMV structures, but it doesn't actually PLAY them. It mounts them to their proper locations so your PS3 can find/recognize the structures and play them via XMB [Video] tab menu.

You can create proper AVCHD structures with various tools and equipment like multiAVCHD, AVCHD Coder, tsMuxeR, AVCHD camcoders.

Coloring and prefixes in the game display modes:

YELLOW COLOR = AVCHD
ORGANGE/RED COLOR = Blu-ray (BDMV)

* [Video] (YELLOW color) = AVCHD on external USB HDD/stick
* [Video] (ORANGE/RED color) = BDMV on external USB HDD/stick - NOT WORKING PROPERLY
* [HDD Video] (Yellow) = AVCHD on internal HDD
* [HDD Video] (Orange/Red) = BDMV on internal HDD

* AVCHD or BDMV on external HDD/USB must be stored in the root \ folder of your device:

X:\AVCHD_MOVIE_1\BDMV\INDEX.BDM
X:\BLURAY_MOVIE_2\BDMV\index.bdmv (NOT WORKING PROPERLY)

* AVCHD or BDMV on internal HDD must be stored in the same folder where your games are (for example /dev_hdd0/GAMES)

/dev_hdd0/GAMES/MOVIE_1/BDMV/INDEX.BDM
/dev_hdd0/GAMES/MOVIE_2/BDMV/index.bdmv

* AVCHD movies on external USB HDD/stick will be properly renamed upon activation (only ONE active AVCHD folder supported by PS3)

* BDMV (Blu-ray) movies on external USB will be mounted as BDMV disc (original BD game/video disc required) - NOT WORKING PROPERLY

* AVCHD movies on internal HDD will be mounted to externally connected USB/SDHC/MS storage device (USB stick/SDHC/MS card required with 22KB free)

* BDMV (Blu-ray) movies on internal HDD must be converted to AVCHD before mounting. multiMAN will prompt you to do it for you - accept it and convert it. Then it will be mounted as AVCHD.

* BDMV (Blu-ray) movies authored with JAVA extension (BD-J discs) are not supported. You can check the contents of BDJO or JAR folders. If there are files there - it won't work.

Playing back the mounted structure is done by activating the AVCHD icon from PS3's XMB Video tab - you must select the USB/SDHC/MS storage device, used for mounting.

>>> ABOUT FIRMWARES AND SYSCALLS <<<

Spoiler

PLEASE ALL READ CAREFULLY and educate yourself.

Let's put thing straight (as of Jan 26th 2011):
Firmware 3.41:

* PS3Jailbreak/PSGroove/PSFreedom (initial versions) = SYSCALL36
* Later sticks/payload revisions = SYSCALL6 + SYSCALL7 (Peek/Poke)
* Later payload revisions = SYSCALL8 (Hermes 4)
* Later payload revisions = SYSCALL35 (PL3)

***

Firmware 3.55:

* CFW GH: installing signed PKG files
* CFW Wutang: SYSCALL6 + SYSCALL7 (Peek/Poke) + signed PKG
* CFW Kmeaw: SYSCALL6 + SYSCALL7 (Peek/Poke) + signed + fake_signed PKG
* CFW WNK: SYSCALL6 + SYSCALL7 + signed PKG + SYSCALL36 + smth else

***

Now for 3.41 with original PSGroove/PSfreedom you get:

* SYSCALL36 (Enable BD-Emulator to run games with disc in tray)
* nothing else

Later PSG/PSF revisions:

* SYSCALL6 (peek: read values from lv2 (gameos) memory)
* SYSCALL7 (poke: write values to lv2 (gameos) memory)
* SYSCALL36 (Enable BD-Emulator to run games with disc in tray)
* nothing else

Later Hermes (1,2,3)

* SYSCALL6 (peek: read values from lv2 (gameos) memory)
* SYSCALL7 (poke: write values to lv2 (gameos) memory)
* SYSCALL36 (Enable BD-Emulator to run games with disc in tray)
* SYSCALL36 (also re-maps /app_home)

Now for 3.41 with Hermes4 you get:

* SYSCALL6 (peek: read values from lv2 (gameos) memory)
* SYSCALL7 (poke: write values to lv2 (gameos) memory)
* SYSCALL8 (allow redirections of any paths, including /dev_usb for AVCHD HDD)
* SYSCALL36 (allow redirection of /dev_bdvd to enable BD Emulator)
* SYSCALL36 (also re-maps /app_home)

For 3.41 with PL3 (regular) you get:

* SYSCALL35 (allow redirections of any paths, including /dev_usb for AVCHD HDD)
* SYSCALL36 (allow redirection of /dev_bdvd to enable BD Emulator)
* SYSCALL36 (also re-maps /app_home)

For 3.41 with PL3 DEV you get:

* SYSCALL6 (peek: read values from lv2 (gameos) memory)
* SYSCALL7 (poke: write values to lv2 (gameos) memory)
* SYSCALL35 (allow redirections of any paths, including /dev_usb for AVCHD HDD)
* SYSCALL36 (allow redirection of /dev_bdvd to enable BD Emulator)
* SYSCALL36 (also re-maps /app_home)

As you can see from the list, Hermes4 and PL3 DEV support ALL one may need and this is yet NOT PROVIDED for FW 3.55.

Have in mind that multiMAN supports and works with ANY of these listed modes/payloads/syscalls/firmwares. You must understand that it is a challenge to support so many variations and keep all stable, yet multiMAN does support them and is stable as of ver 01.14.00 both for 3.41 and 3.55 (+ older firmwares 3.10-3.30, which many of you forget about).

Now the differences in 3.55:

3.55: GH: provides a way to install signed packages, period!
3.55: WNK/WTNG/KMEAW: enable SYSCALL6 + SYSCALL7 for peek+poke + signed (or not) PKG files

As you can see: no syscall8, syscall35 or syscall36 in 3.55 firmwares (excl WNK).

Now, we are at the point where user must decide what to do:

* Use lv2 patcher and get:
- PL3 type of payload with a lot of freeze problems but with SYSCALL35+SYSCALL36+APP_HOME
- Start multiMAN (which will recognize PL3/syscall35) and be able to play AVCHD from internal HDD

* Use multiMAN 01.16.00-02.09.02 to get:
- No payload of any kind included in the distribution
- Support for "Black screen games" using external USB HDD

* BDEMU.BIN or external payload required to enable following functionality:
- Support for AVCHD/BDMV structures saved on internal HDD (AVCHD HDD)
- Path redirections for /dev_bdvd and /app_home
- BDEMU.BIN is not distributed with install packages

I hope this brief info helps you to understand some basics.

>>> PS3 NETWORK SERVER SETUP <<<

Spoiler

>>> SUPPORT FOR AVCHD AND BDMV STRUCTURES <<<

Spoiler

multiMAN supports managing AVCHD and BDMV structures, but it doesn't actually PLAY them. It mounts them to their proper locations so your PS3 can find/recognize the structures and play them via XMB [Video] tab menu.

You can create proper AVCHD structures with various tools and equipment like multiAVCHD, AVCHD Coder, tsMuxeR, AVCHD camcoders.

Coloring and prefixes in the game display modes:

YELLOW COLOR = AVCHD
ORGANGE/RED COLOR = Blu-ray (BDMV)

* [Video] (YELLOW color) = AVCHD on external USB HDD/stick
* [Video] (ORANGE/RED color) = BDMV on external USB HDD/stick - NOT WORKING PROPERLY
* [HDD Video] (Yellow) = AVCHD on internal HDD
* [HDD Video] (Orange/Red) = BDMV on internal HDD

* AVCHD or BDMV on external HDD/USB must be stored in the root \ folder of your device:

X:\AVCHD_MOVIE_1\BDMV\INDEX.BDM
X:\BLURAY_MOVIE_2\BDMV\index.bdmv (NOT WORKING PROPERLY)

* AVCHD or BDMV on internal HDD must be stored in the same folder where your games are (for example /dev_hdd0/GAMES)

/dev_hdd0/GAMES/MOVIE_1/BDMV/INDEX.BDM
/dev_hdd0/GAMES/MOVIE_2/BDMV/index.bdmv

* AVCHD movies on external USB HDD/stick will be properly renamed upon activation (only ONE active AVCHD folder supported by PS3)

* BDMV (Blu-ray) movies on external USB will be mounted as BDMV disc (original BD game/video disc required) - NOT WORKING PROPERLY

* AVCHD movies on internal HDD will be mounted to externally connected USB/SDHC/MS storage device (USB stick/SDHC/MS card required with 22KB free)

* BDMV (Blu-ray) movies on internal HDD must be converted to AVCHD before mounting. multiMAN will prompt you to do it for you - accept it and convert it. Then it will be mounted as AVCHD.

* BDMV (Blu-ray) movies authored with JAVA extension (BD-J discs) are not supported. You can check the contents of BDJO or JAR folders. If there are files there - it won't work.

Playing back the mounted structure is done by activating the AVCHD icon from PS3's XMB Video tab - you must select the USB/SDHC/MS storage device, used for mounting.

>>> ABOUT FIRMWARES AND SYSCALLS <<<

Spoiler

PLEASE ALL READ CAREFULLY and educate yourself.

Let's put thing straight (as of Jan 26th 2011):
Firmware 3.41:

* PS3Jailbreak/PSGroove/PSFreedom (initial versions) = SYSCALL36
* Later sticks/payload revisions = SYSCALL6 + SYSCALL7 (Peek/Poke)
* Later payload revisions = SYSCALL8 (Hermes 4)
* Later payload revisions = SYSCALL35 (PL3)

***

Firmware 3.55:

* CFW GH: installing signed PKG files
* CFW Wutang: SYSCALL6 + SYSCALL7 (Peek/Poke) + signed PKG
* CFW Kmeaw: SYSCALL6 + SYSCALL7 (Peek/Poke) + signed + fake_signed PKG
* CFW WNK: SYSCALL6 + SYSCALL7 + signed PKG + SYSCALL36 + smth else

***

Now for 3.41 with original PSGroove/PSfreedom you get:

* SYSCALL36 (Enable BD-Emulator to run games with disc in tray)
* nothing else

Later PSG/PSF revisions:

* SYSCALL6 (peek: read values from lv2 (gameos) memory)
* SYSCALL7 (poke: write values to lv2 (gameos) memory)
* SYSCALL36 (Enable BD-Emulator to run games with disc in tray)
* nothing else

Later Hermes (1,2,3)

* SYSCALL6 (peek: read values from lv2 (gameos) memory)
* SYSCALL7 (poke: write values to lv2 (gameos) memory)
* SYSCALL36 (Enable BD-Emulator to run games with disc in tray)
* SYSCALL36 (also re-maps /app_home)

Now for 3.41 with Hermes4 you get:

* SYSCALL6 (peek: read values from lv2 (gameos) memory)
* SYSCALL7 (poke: write values to lv2 (gameos) memory)
* SYSCALL8 (allow redirections of any paths, including /dev_usb for AVCHD HDD)
* SYSCALL36 (allow redirection of /dev_bdvd to enable BD Emulator)
* SYSCALL36 (also re-maps /app_home)

For 3.41 with PL3 (regular) you get:

* SYSCALL35 (allow redirections of any paths, including /dev_usb for AVCHD HDD)
* SYSCALL36 (allow redirection of /dev_bdvd to enable BD Emulator)
* SYSCALL36 (also re-maps /app_home)

For 3.41 with PL3 DEV you get:

* SYSCALL6 (peek: read values from lv2 (gameos) memory)
* SYSCALL7 (poke: write values to lv2 (gameos) memory)
* SYSCALL35 (allow redirections of any paths, including /dev_usb for AVCHD HDD)
* SYSCALL36 (allow redirection of /dev_bdvd to enable BD Emulator)
* SYSCALL36 (also re-maps /app_home)

As you can see from the list, Hermes4 and PL3 DEV support ALL one may need and this is yet NOT PROVIDED for FW 3.55.

Have in mind that multiMAN supports and works with ANY of these listed modes/payloads/syscalls/firmwares. You must understand that it is a challenge to support so many variations and keep all stable, yet multiMAN does support them and is stable as of ver 01.14.00 both for 3.41 and 3.55 (+ older firmwares 3.10-3.30, which many of you forget about).

Now the differences in 3.55:

3.55: GH: provides a way to install signed packages, period!
3.55: WNK/WTNG/KMEAW: enable SYSCALL6 + SYSCALL7 for peek+poke + signed (or not) PKG files

As you can see: no syscall8, syscall35 or syscall36 in 3.55 firmwares (excl WNK).

Now, we are at the point where user must decide what to do:

* Use lv2 patcher and get:
- PL3 type of payload with a lot of freeze problems but with SYSCALL35+SYSCALL36+APP_HOME
- Start multiMAN (which will recognize PL3/syscall35) and be able to play AVCHD from internal HDD

* Use multiMAN 01.16.00+ to get:
- No payload of any kind included in the distribution
- Support for "Black screen games" using external USB HDD

* BDEMU.BIN or external payload required to enable following functionality:
- Support for AVCHD/BDMV structures saved on internal HDD (AVCHD HDD)
- Path redirections for /dev_bdvd and /app_home
- BDEMU.BIN is not distributed with install packages

I hope this brief info helps you to understand some basics.

finally your own thread

**dlanor** · 12-10-2010,02:50 PM

Hi Dean!

It's good to see that you've made a proper release thread of your own now.

I've just set the 'sticky' status for this thread to make sure it stays near the top of the forum pages, and I removed the same status from the old thread (already locked by amp2006), allowing it to join other old threads 'sinking into oblivion' now that it has been replaced.

The only potential problem I can think of now is whether or not you can also change the thread title yourself or not. I'm not sure if a normal thread owner can do that, or if you have to be a moderator/admin to do it, (like me for example).

But if that ever becomes an issue, just drop me a line and I will make sure that the thread title matches that of your first post in it again.

Best regards: dlanor

**deank** · 12-10-2010,03:16 PM

Thanks, Ronald!

I'm not going to change the thread name anyway... No need for flashy announcements.

At least now I can keep stuff organized and probably it will be easier for all the users.

***

I changed the way INSTALLERS are provided for download. All covers are now separated in COVERS_PACK installer both for FW 3.40/41 and 01.90/03.30, so no need for the 'full releases'.

UPDATE installers - main executable + ini
BASE installers - main executable + interface images + ini
