[Sammelthread] Jailbreak-News -> Nur News und keine Diskussion!!

- Final hardware verification will start this week. All parts have been tested on development boards so no surprises are anticipated.

- While built-in disk ripping does work, it is too slow to be practical. There is another way which is much faster and can most likely be delivered in a future update, but we will not have time to verify this before launch. So we decided to remove built-in disk ripping from the feature list and put it on the WIP list.

- We have designed and completed software and a add-on board for connecting a PS3 drive to a PC via USB in order to dump games. This add-on board will be a part of the 3k3y kit.

A correction to the 3k3y status update: Built-in disk ripping will not be available on the release hardware. We took the hardware of 3k3y (where it was slow) and put it on an external board (where its blazing fast). This doesn't mean built-in disk ripping will never happen, it is still possible to do via the FPGA at high speeds.

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
Updated 8 translation files


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)


The showtime version provided with mM as standalone acts as the build-in one so it returns to mM. If you wish to quit to XMB either use the official build or use {PS} button -> Quit to XMB.

About NTFS - if you previously configured usb.cfg just stick to it. Without USB.CFG only two partitions will be available - that's it.

IrisManager v1.50-1.50.2
V1.50.0
What’s new:

- Ability to run PSX ISO

Extract from IMPORTANT psx iso.txt:

Install ps1_emu_patched.self (see patch_ps1emu.rar, notes.txt)

Adding PSX isos for Iris Manager 1.50+ :

- Create a 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 .bin or .img files (or BIN, .IMG) containing sectors of 2352 bytes. You can put from 1 to 8 “iso” files

- Iris manager get “isos” in alphanumerical order. When you launch a game with multiple isos you can rotate the order in one screen in the last moment.

- You can put a COVER.JPG file (max size of 1024 x 1024 pixels)

- PSX config is saved in the game folder.

Example of the game structure:
/ dev_usb000
/ PSXGAMES
/ Metal Gear Solid
| — COVER.JPG -> the cover
| — MGS1.IMG -> disc 1
|—- MGS2.IMG -> disc 2
| — psx_config.cfg -> psx config. saved from Iris Manager (Memory Card, Video Options …)

Iris Manager mount USB/ BDVD and HDD0 in this preference order to change virtually the disc. if one device can be mounted it is used for simulate EJECT/PUT the disc

if a game have two or more disc when the game ask for a disc change, unplug and plug USB device or eject and put the CD/DVD/BR disc to change of “iso” (to be sure when you “eject” it green led is blinking and when you put one “new” media green led is unblinking). The method is rotatory so when it use the last iso it turn to the first iso.

NOTE: You can use a BR disc without problem in the patched PSX Emu. Eject the media is unnecessary to play the game.
Some additional comments:

- The configuration of each game is saved in its folder, while the PSX game disc, is taken as reference for the games you have not saved the configuraración there.

- The order of the ISOS is alphanumeric (1.bin will be Disc 1, 2.bin will be Disc 2 and so on)

- When demos to run, if there are several, are presented with a screen that shows the order of the iso, but that makes pressing CIRCLE rotate upwards (so for example, if we are playing disc 2, you can select Start)

- If a USB device can be mounted, it is taken first as “eject”, otherwise a possible CD / DVD / BR can be mounted and ultimately the HDD (which you can not eject). This makes it possible that if we have a PSX game on the internal HDD, with a pendrive connected, disconnecting it and connecting it back, we can change from “ISO”.

- Changing ISO can only be done if the game is awaiting it and calling the appropriate function. This is because if you “eject” (even if you don’t see pendrive activity) the green led will flash. When inserted back, the “rotative” counter is updated.

- Internally the emulator supports 8 virtual files are rotated. Iris Manager assigns all consecutively. If a game had 3 albums would be allocated as follows: 1,2,3,1,2,3,1,2 by what we see in the following sequence instead of the three would go to 1.

- Although you can change discs should not tinker needlessly with that: a game may hang, so Use it only when necessary

- Note that this is the first version of the emulator: if a game does not work but you have the assurance that if it works from ps1_emu CDROM (not the net), you tell me if I can watch it.

- Indeed, in PSX options, choosing emulator is unnecessary for ISOS: the program knows which one needs to run (unless it doesn’t find it).

UPDATE 1.50.1:
-- Estwald updated Iris Manager to version 1.50.1 to solve a permission issue in the FTP Server.

UPDATE 1.50.2:
-- Estwald updated again to version 1.50.2 to fix a problem with the settings for PSX ISO
