The bolded sounds like what you need to be worried about. Hopefully someone else has more information.

The server with "stun" in it jumps out to me as a voip server.

OK, a very early version of my ps3 homebrew wiki is now online at http://www.pshomebrew.net. The basic info of getting setup is there (which I'm sure I'll have to completely re-write in the next few days) and I've begun the Homebrew Directory, though I've only added Snes9x so far just to get all the formatting sorted. I'll be adding the rest of the apps today.

If anybody could make a logo that would be awesome(I'm terrible with graphics). If you would like to help the image should be a transparent .gif or .png 135x135 pixels.

Tinfoilt hat ON.

Sony helped bringing this development about. That is why they launched PSN+

Tinfoil hat OFF.

Spoiler

No, there really isn't any logic to what I just wrote.

 

[SonOfABeep]

All of these emulators need to have screen size modifiers - some of them overscan on my panasonic plasma, cutting off the top and bottom on 3S.

Glad that the SNES one at least allows you to modify the display size. FBA needs some work with regards to remapping controls as well.

Help?

How and where do I store my SNES roms on the internal hard drive? I have a slim so the two usb ports are most likely in use for other peripherals.

Great work kicking this off, I hope it becomes something. If I have anything worthwhile to contribute in the future, I will.

You can change the path in the options menu.

Is it safe to create a "ROM" folder anywhere on the internal hard drive?

 

[cyberheater]

Is it safe to create a "ROM" folder anywhere on the internal hard drive?

If a legitimate Sony authorised app didn't put it there then no.

Is it safe to create a "ROM" folder anywhere on the internal hard drive?

In terms of whether it will fuck up anything, then yes it is safe. If your asking whether Sony can detect it, then no it isn't.

Turns out Geohot is delibertly sabotaging other folks attempts to build on his work.

< @geohot> my anti lv2 patching isn’t just anti piracy

Apparently he's done something to prevent folks from enabling the kinds of homebrew he doesn't approve of. Quite a dick move.

If a legitimate Sony authorised app didn't put it there then no.

Of course it's safe. Go right ahead, many folks, myself included have already done so.

Yeah. I asked because I didn't want to corrupt the other files on the hard drive or make the system unbootable.

What kinds of homebrew am I missing out on?

 

[Slightly Live]

Nope. I'm talking about a technical limit put in place in a CFW by it's author. Like hell do I care what Sony thinks of any of this.

What kinds of homebrew am I missing out on?

Right now? Older game emulation, FTP and File manipulation. In future over the next few days, weeks and months? Check the OP for the wishlist. :lol

Geohit is preventing PS1 emulation and PS3 game backing up and playing from HDD as this requires lv2 access. But I'm sure others will find ways around it.

 

[KtSlime]

Nope. I'm talking about a technical limit put in place in a CFW by it's author. Like hell do I care what Sony thinks of any of this.

Which I was about to respond with: How is Geohot placing a limit on what people can do with their firmware different than what Sony has done.

Which would have devolved to, well the only thing you can't really do on Geohot's modified firmware is peek and poke.

Then someone would ask what peek and poke are for.

Then someone would say, cheating and piracy.

And then we would be in a conversation about piracy which does not belong in this thread.
:lol

I just posted what I though was new and relevant information. I wasn't aware of Geohot's stance before this. I assumed he was against backups and facilitation, not actively adding "security" to his "CFW" to prevent it. It reeks of job hunting.

 

[Fjolle]

Edit: nvm. Let's stay out of that discussion



Are you sure that it is something geohot has added? I thought that the only thing he changed with the cfw was the app loader?

I think he is against people bricking their PS3s and wasting time. modifying lv2 is pretty much a waste of time, because it will be what Sony has their most vested interests in, and is also easiest to mess up a system, and is also easiest for Sony change.

As geohot's modified firmware stands, there are few changes, a change to an config file, a couple of return value changes. I think he figures the less stepping on Sony's toes the more likely Sony will ignore us. Also, the fewer changes made, the easier to re implement those changes if Sony does something to the firmware.

Messing with lv2 is a lot of work for very little gain, especially when you consider that most problems have other more elegant solutions if people would take 5 seconds to think about their options.

heh, quick stab, but there's some symbology to it

didn't read the required size, but i think removing the text and leaving the open 'ps home' logo could work

look, it even has the 'web2.0 reflection' !!1 so i guess it meets all modern design canons

The SNES emulator runs really well. It's great to finally run homebrew on my PS3.

Does Yoshis island run in full framerate/without issues?

fba next is fine too and crt filter looks very good (although scanlines get slightly messed up with aspect ratio, hope they can fix that) and runs most stuff fullspeed.
Looks 100 times better than xbox1 emus on hdtv's, and menages to make old games look rather authentic and sexy even on a 50" screen.
For some reason Double Dragon runs very slow, as does chase hq, though. Strange, considering stuff like Dodonpachi, Esp.ra.de, Sf3, Warzard etc. run flawlessly.

I like it, might I add that your template should have a version history and 'quirks' section, for instance genplus needs its config file edited to where the roms are stored if not in the default place.

This will be good.

This is awesome, thanks! Would it be possible for you to make the changes you suggested? I only have gimp installed on this computer and I'm terrible with it. I also posted the wrong required size. It just needs to be 135 px in width, height doesn't matter.

Thanks, I'm still working on what stuff to include. I aim to have a full configuration guide for setting up rom paths etc. for every emulator. At the moment though I'm just essentially copy & pasting the info the authors provided.

Yeah. I went through all the shaded options but picked CRT as it looked the most authentic. The under/overscan is a neat addition. Really helps to get everything looking perfect. I'm looking forward to trying out some snes classics on my projector later on

 

[MMaRsu]

Wow, this was easier than I thought! But I can't get the MAME ROMs to be detected, even by putting them in a directory named FBANext-ROMS on my USB key…

I'm having the same problem

sure, nothing too sexy but i liked the idea of the 'open' ps home logo

also, the horizontal layout was probably better, but there's no way to keep that in the 135 width.

here you are

200 %

100 %

wait, the logo is too close to the upper part of the background, didn't see that.
please, use this one instead

 

[test_account]

I guess that he wanted to stop piracy as much as possible while still allowing much homebrew. But i think that someone alreay added peak and poke to firmware 3.55, so i dont think that it matters much what Geohot does. I mean, if Geohot doesnt add it in the PS3 CFW, then someone else probably will do it instead.

Exactly, other custom firmware could be run either way.

Here is a couple of pre-edited FBA XML files (right-click, save as..).

This one looks in dev_usb000/FBAroms/ (external drive): http://pshomebrew.net/downloads/USBfbanext-ps3.xml

This one looks in dev_hdd0/FBAroms/ : http://pshomebrew.net/downloads/HDDfbanext-ps3.xml

Just remove either USB or HDD from the file name then transfer to /dev_hdd0/game/FBAN00000/USRDIR/ via FTP or via a external drive using Comgenie's Awesome File Manager (link in OP)

Wiki is turning out well. Should link those files in the FBA Next wiki.

Btw, not sure if I'm doing this right but I had no issue copying to devhd but any copy from devhd would not work (sd cards and external hds). This is using awesome file manager.

Did you press select to turn on advanced mode? You can only copy to certain pre-allowed folders if you didn't.

Seriously, what a tool.

Yeah because of one out of context quote posted here from irc

 

[sajj316]

Yes, advance mode (Red back drop). What was weird is that I see the prompt that says copied after hitting O and start. I see it in the directory structure of the sd card and USB drive. When I plug the sd card or USB drive to the computer, it is not there.

 

[N.A]

I know your problem with files on external drives now.

Help, My files i copied to the external drive are not visible on my pc?

The files are marked as system files, which windows default hides. Go to Tools > Folder options and disable the following option: Hide protected operation system files.

Just to point out a mistake, over the fba-next download it says snes9x.
