4.46 Firmware CEX or DEX with LV2 Syscall 10 (e.g. Rebug)
4.50 Firmware with LV2 Syscall 10

how to:
. if you're on rebug, run the toolbox and enable the "LV2 Memory Protection" patch

. run the VSH Plugin Sample App

. For FTP Server, connect to your PS3 from PC using a FTP client on port 21 or 8021 (any password)

. For webMAN (Web Server), connect to your PS3 on port 80 from any web browser client (PC, Tablet, SmartPhone, etc.)

. For Remote Peek/Poke, connect to your PS3 from PC using a telnet client (e.g. putty) on port 4546

Remote Peek/Poke Plugin by user:
. remote peek/poke at any time
. full ram access via lv1 peek/poke

Usage:
Run via PRX Loader (old remote p/p plugin has to be removed or replaced)
connect your telnet client to your ps3 on port 4546

hvlog enable lv1 logging
hvprocdebug [process number] enable logging in lv1 process (3, 5, 6 or 9)

if the Debug output looks weird in putty, try enabling the option: Terminal > Implicit CR in every LF

webftp_server.sprx 1.30 (53 KB) by DeanK

• Single plugin
• webMAN 1.30
• FTP server 1.01

The reason to combine both in one is the issue with shutting down the PS3 when multiple plugins are loaded. Now both plugins work properly and system poweroff/shutdown works, too. Also the plugin loads faster with PRXLOADER (of course, because it is just one file).

You can also download the latest webMAN 1.30 for CCAPI: http://www.deanbg.com/webftp_server_ccapi.sprx

Changes in webMAN 1.30 updated 2014/07/12

• Added support for 4.60CFW CEX (with patches from Habib to fix errors 80010017 and 8001002b)

Changes in webMAN 1.29:

• Removed [x] Aggressive fan control mode option, because it is now the standard way of setting the fan
• Added Lowest fan speed: 22% option to set whatever (20-99%) you want for lowest speed of your PS3 fan. You will see a tick (enabled) only if you have fan control enabled in “Auto” mode.
• Decreased sprx size a bit and fixed few minor things

Changes in webMAN 1.28 (update #2):

• Fan speed is not longer set to “PS2 Emulator” value if fan control is disabled.
• Fix report fan speed 0% when fan control is disabled.
• Improved the fan control algorithm.

Changes in webMAN 1.28 (update #1):

• Fan control is supported on all CEX firmwares from 4.21 to 4.53
• After unloading webMAN with the combo (but not with /quit.ps3 from a browser) the fan will be set to the “PS2 Emulator” speed
• When PS2 ISO is loaded, webMAN will set the fan speed to the value set for “PS2 Emulator”
• webMAN can use dualshock/controllers assigned to slots 1, 2 and 3 (0 to 2)
• Added options in setup to disable selected PAD shortcuts/combos
• Improved handling of webMAN configuration data in memory

Changes in webMAN 1.28:

• Completely removed Estwald's fan control payload from webMAN
• Removed all syscall interceptions required for fan-control
• When you quit/unload webMAN (manually or via PSNPatch) the fan control is returned to SYSCON
• Added [x] Show PSP Launcher setting in [Setup] (next to PLAYSTATION(R)PORTABLE)
• Finally (the reason for the payload removal) the audio from the optical output is not interrupted anymore when fan speed is changed in auto-mode.
• All former fan-control functions are now implemented using one simple syscall (sys_sm_set_fan_policy)
• sprx size (53KB) and plugin memory usage decreased, the stress on the system is now less

Changes in webMAN 1.27 (update #4):

• Keeping NTFS USB HDDs from entering sleep mode should now work (if you didn’t disable USB polling in [Setup]). Drives are checked every 2 mins.
• Titles with dot ‘.’ in their names are displayed properly in the popup when mounted
• Enable/Disable /dev_blind is effective immediately when selected in [Setup], so no need for restart when you want to enable/disable writable /dev_flash
• Added option: [x] Disable temperature warnings.

Changes in webMAN 1.27 (update #3):

• webMAN can be unloaded from memory using the combo (L3+R3+R2). If you press the combo (or use /quit.ps3) you will see “webMAN unloaded!” popup message.
• The combo SELECT+L3 will show the available space on the system storage (/dev_hdd0) along with CPU/RSX temperatures.

Changes in webMAN 1.27 (update #2):

• Removed the option in [Setup] to select how many titles are displayed in one row
• The icons will auto-fit any screen/device
• Icons and titles are now properly aligned
• The size of the generated HTML (and the used buffer) is smaller
• Improved looks

Changes in webMAN 1.27 (update #1):

• Added notification popup when you load game (or use PREV/NEXT with SELECT+L1/R1)
• Added SELECT+R3 to show CPU/RSX temperatures in XMB or while in-game (while in-game press {PS} button and then SELECT+R3)
• Added support for sending messages to the PS3: http://your_ps3_ip_address/popup.ps3/Your message goes here…
• Decreased “Standard” and “Max” memory footprints
• Added “System overheat warning! CPU: xx RSX: …” popup message if CPU or RSX temperatures exceed 80°C
• Fail-safe combo changed to SELECT + L2 + R3 + L3 (to delete boot_plugins.txt and shutdown your PS3)

1. Connect a controller using USB cable
2. Press the {PS} button to turn on the PS3
3. Immediatelly press and hold both [SELECT]+[L2] + [R3] + [L3]]. Do not release until your PS3 turns off and then back on.

webMAN will delete boot_plugins.txt preventing plugins load on next boot and will restart your PS3 immediatelly. After boot you’re in plugins-free environment.

Changes in webMAN 1.26 (update #4):

• A new fan-control option is added in webMAN [Setup]:
• “PS2 Emulator: ** % fan speed” – you can set the desired value (default is 37%) for fan speed for PS2 emulator, or when the PS3 loads a system function (for database rebuild, firmware update, etc).

Changes in webMAN 1.26 (update #3):

• If you use the key combo for switching prev/next titles (SELECT+L1 / SELECT+R1) the green led will blink for about 3 seconds to indicate eject/reinsert of the game/video (ISO)

Changes in webMAN 1.26 (update #2):

• Added support for 4.53 CEX + Cobra
• Updated the display of the default ISO icons on the web interface

Changes in webMAN 1.26 (update #1):

• Removed auto-loading of last played game from NTFS drives
• Last-games combo (SELECT+L1 / SELECT+R1) now remembers 5 games

Changes in webMAN 1.23:

• It is now possible to browse network locations (/net0 and /net1) from [Files] mode
• It is possible to mount remote folder (as /dev_bdvd) by clicking the "" entry
• PSP Launcher is now present inside the "PLAYSTATION(R)PORTABLE" group for easy access (10x to @aldostools )
• Added option "Disable PAD shortcuts (restart/shutdown/prev/next)" to [Setup]: It will make webMAN stop monitoring the pad for commands.

• The caching of network png/jpg images for games/videos was also improved.

You may have to clear /dev_hdd0/tmp/wmptmp folder or/and use [Refresh HTML] / [Refresh XML] if you have content scan disabled.

Changes in webMAN 1.22

• Covers/images from nethost (.png/.jpg) are now used for PS1/PS2/PSP/PS3 ISO games and Blu-ray/DVD videos
• FTP performance seems ok
• In [Files] browser mode clicking will mount the selected folder as /dev_bdvd and /app_home, allowing you to install PKG files from local drives
• Copying 2KB+ PARAM.SFO from network/ISO is now ok
• Memory usage is decreased a bit
• In [Files] mode you can return to the root of the device you browse, by clicking the entry at the end (where it shows available free space)
• webMAN configuration is now a global/static and fixes the discrepancies in displayed options if you simultaneously view/edit [SETUP] options on multiple devices
• Added support for 4.53CFW when used with PRX Loader
• Optimized www service when serving files/images

webMAN 1.21: Names for PS3 ISO games are shown in "My Games" only and not in browser mode (yet).

• Fixed a bug which caused system lock (or no action) when user uses SELECT+L1/R1

I tested with my 80GB FAT PS3 and although everything was ok on the 160GB SLIM PS3 I could not get the SELECT+L1/R1 working. It turned out that the memory mapping for both consoles is different (may be a lot of other things are different, although it is just a PS3)... So my FAT PS3 would not react to SELECT+L1/R1 (causing memory faults).

Everything should be ok now and probably few other things got fixed in the way.

To use "SELECT+L1/R1" for scrolling last three games you must load at least three different games (via browser or from "My Games"). Otherwise nothing will happen when you hit the combo.

Changes in webMAN 1.20

• Added more delays for AUTOBOOT.ISO/lastgame when startup-content-scan is disabled
• [L3]+[R2]+[X] (shutdown) and [L3]+[R2]+[O] (restart) combos are more responsive now
• www server tweaked a bit to conserve memory and still serve all requests
• [SELECT]+[L1] (previous) and [SELECT]+[R1] (next) allow you to load the last three games/videos you loaded without the need of a browser/My Games

Changes in webMAN 1.19

• Added spoof FW version to 4.53.
• Restricted the simultaneous web connections to 3

• Improved memory usage in FTP service - now memory will be allocated only when you transfer files
• Fixed small issue with memory allocation when copying ICON0.PNG from mounted PS3 ISO games
• Added additional checks for available memory, preventing game/video playback crashes if user uses [Refresh XML] or [Refresh HTML] while in-game
• testplugin features for shutdown/restart are available in webMAN and there is no need to load the additional testplugin.sprx (L3+R2+[O] = RESTART / L3+R2+[X] = SHUTDOWN)
• New option in [Setup]: Plugin memory usage: Standard (1024KB), Min (384KB), Max (1408KB)

The standard one uses 1MB of memory (as it always did) when doing the initial scan and generating the [Games] list for browser mode.
The minimal one uses just 384KB (almost 3 times less) and if you don't have more than 300 games it should be the better option.

Using the "minimal" mode I get about 2200KB free memory reported in /cpursx.ps3 page, compared to 1500-1800KB when using the standard one.

The SPRX is updated and released the SOURCE: http://www.deanbg.com/webMAN_1.19.zip

• Added scanning of /ISO folder for PSP ISO games (ISO only – not CSO). If you have .CSO files you must use mmCM to extract them.

Changes in webMAN 1.18 update #3

• Refresh XML – refreshes mygames.xml for “My Games” XMB entry (/refresh.ps3)
• Refresh HTML – refreshes games.html – the [Games] list for browser mode (/index.ps3?html)

• The game list for browser mode is cached and won’t cause scan each time you open the page.
• There should be no duplicates for network games (unless you have more than one copy)
• This version should support larger games collections

The game list (for browser mode) is cached as /dev_hdd0/tmp/wmtmp/games.html and is refreshed only if you press [Refresh HTML] or if more than 12 hours have passed since the last refresh.

NOTE: I don’t know if I mentioned it before, but… DO NOT use [Refresh XML]/[Refresh HTML] while playing games. These functions require memory and for the short time they operate the game may run out of memory and crash. Use these ONLY while in XMB.

Changes in webMAN 1.18 update #2

• Manual fan control is now a free-text option in [SETUP]: 20% – 99%
• Added support for second network server
• Fixed loading of last NETWORK game on startup when content scan is disabled
• Added new xml file for droidMAN /dev_hdd0/xmlhost/game_plugin/mygames.droid

Changes in webMAN 1.18

• Rewrote auto-fan-control mode. It should be much better now.
• Changed manual fan speed values to: 25%, 30%, 35%, 40%, 45%, 50%, 55%, 60%, 70%, 75%, 100%
• Added the following options to webMAN setup: [x] Disable content scan at startup [x] Disable remote access to FTP/WWW services

Changes in webMAN 1.17 update #2

• Added support .JPG and .PNG in mM’s covers folder.
• Added options in dynamic fan control to auto set the fan speed based on: CPU, RSX, arithmetic average of CPU+RSX, or either CPU / RSX temperatures.

Changes in webMAN 1.17 update #1

• Auto option for fan-control is now really dynamic using fan-speed-step (up/down)
• A free temperature value is added (CELSIUS ONLY!) to set the desired HIGHEST temperature you’re comfortable for your PS3 to reach.

Make sure to enter [SETUP] and set your preferred highest temperature (the default should be 70′C, but also may show 62′C, because of the previous webMAN version).

PS3 CPU temperature is monitored constantly and fan speed is changed accordingly for the best experience (both for your ears and for your PS3 calmness) If you previously use a manual fan speed, you may find that with the “Auto” mode your PS3 can be MUCH quieter, while still keeping it cool to the level you want.

Changes in webMAN 1.17

Added "Enable dynamic fan control" option in [SETUP] - only for COBRA7-4.46 firmwares (thanks to Estwald for the fancontrol payload)
Added two modes: Auto (with 62'C/68/70/73/77'C thresholds) and 6 preset manual fan speeds:
Auto
25% fan speed (0x40)
38% (0x60)
44% (0x70)
56% (0x90)
75% (0xC0)
100% (0xF0)

Changing the fan options in [SETUP] are applied immediately and don't require restart (unless you want to disable the fan control).

Changes in webMAN 1.16

• Added [x] Disable FTP service option in SETUP
• Added [x] Disable USB polling option in SETUP
• Game list changed to 4 entries per line
• When mounting PS3/PS2/PSX ISO games and Blu-ray/DVD ISO videos from a browser – the icon/cover will be shown if present
• Network games now show in browser interface
• Local and network games (PS3) will show covers if available
• SETUP options for content scan are now applied to browser interface
• Fixed a major bug, which caused instability for some users with a lot of games/scanned-folders.
• Added /cpursx.ps3 page with 10 seconds autorefresh, to show current CPU/RSX temperatures

Update to webMAN 1.16 is highly recommended!

Changes in webMAN 1.16

• Added [x] Disable FTP service option in SETUP
• Added [x] Disable USB polling option in SETUP
• Game list changed to 4 entries per line
• When mounting PS3/PS2/PSX ISO games and Blu-ray/DVD ISO videos from a browser – the icon/cover will be shown if present
• Network games now show in browser interface
• Local and network games (PS3) will show covers if available
• SETUP options for content scan are now applied to browser interface
• Fixed a major bug, which caused instability for some users with a lot of games/scanned-folders.

Update to webMAN 1.16 is highly recommended!

Changes in webMAN 1.14

• For network games: --- The first time you load a network PS3 ISO or JB/folder game the PARAM.SFO will be cached and used later for TITLE and TITLE_ID and also ICON0.PNG will be cached --- When no mM is installed / no cover is available, cached .PNG will be used for image in "My Games -> PLAYSTATION3" folder --- PS3 ISO games will show proper title names the next time you reboot (after you loaded a net ISO at least once)

• Web browser will close as soon as possible and if mounting/loading takes more time - it will be performed in the background (so no more 2-3 seconds whitescreen)

• You can load one network game, play, load another, etc, etc, load local games/video.... All is ok until you load a PS1 network game. Once you load a network PS1 game you can only load local (hdd0/usb) games, but no more network stuff and you'll have to reboot. I'm trying to get it to mount ps3 games after ps1 bin/iso is loaded, but still can't. Anyway it is not that bad as it is.

In short.... Network games in folder/ISO format will show images (on next PS3 boot) after you load them at least once. Cached ICON0.PNG is saved in /dev_hdd0/tmp/wmtmp with the name of the JB/folder or the ISO name - (/net/Lego -> Lego.PNG /net/Batman.ISO -> Batman.PNG)

A quick note to those who have sync issues or can't get the network stuff working properly: Set your PS3 to use a static IP address. Using DHCP for dynamic IP may take too much time and cause webMAN to give up on waiting for connection to your PC/NAS. I added some reasonable delays, but you can avoid all that with a static IP if applicable in your environment.

Changes in webMAN 1.13

• Added option to enable network scan for games in ISO/JB format, BDISO and DVDISO
• Added server+ip options to setup your connection
• Network games in JB/folder format: PARAM.SFO is cached locally (in /dev_hdd0/tmp/wmtmp) --- Name of the game is read fro
