First before anything we want to clarify that this thread is dedicated to community members and therefore DHorg the comments made about what this information is or is no longer cause is nothing more than mere envy, oppression, or that are to dispute.

New Linux Item

- The advantages are not required reinstalling all the PUP (from hardware checks) do not need to do: composite or go through the recovery
Services Packs
- These packs include the basics in order to use plugins, loaders, ftp, etc.
Compatibility with Games and Applications
- JFW DH uses a 341v2 core, this does not mean not being able to play all over now without patching.
- The JFW DH is compatible with games that include between 3.56 down, including the current patched to 3.55
- JFW DH runs natively games until 3.56 (original disks) without having to upgrade.
- PSN games that require npdrm 356, are also supported without upgrading (the current cfw not give this support)
- No need for a valid signature on the executable
- Not going to make a port to 3.55 of this JFW DH, since it includes much more than himself 3.55

And the video of JFW DH: The video shows the personal side with a CFW Coldboot / Soundboot changed and a new category "RetroLaunch" Minis are supported and saves them (PS1/PS2 games and their backups will also be part of this category).
Those who wondered what the icon is black "JaiCraB", it must match the Firm USB Loader.
DemonHades invites us to participate in their topic in order to advance the project as still no publication date.
First you need to backup everything on your PS3 excluding trophies (can be synced to PSN)
About 1Tb HDD,i don't recommend that as the PS3 Fat will bec...

Cobra-USB_PSX-Launcher
Some users have reported problems with some PAL ps1 games on NTSC systems and viceversa.
It is a bug that only affects a portion of users. This package solves those problems.
Instructions: after selecting a ps1 game of different TV system wtith mmCM, launch the included application instead of starting the ps1 game with the disc icon. If the game is of your TV system or if you don't have this problem at all, we recommend to play the game using the disc icon, as always, as it is expected to have bigger compatibility.

Includes:
• multiMAN ver 04.30.00 UPD CEX (20130331).pkg
• ps2classics.rar (modified by me)
This test update requires that you have 04.30.00 BASE or updated online to 04.30.00. The online version is also updated to this build.
Changes in ps2classic:
• Added 64bit file access functions to support 4GB+ files (for LIMG and encryption)
• Added asynchronous READ/WRITE to improve encryption speed (1GB / 3min)
• Added progress bar and 'Remaining time' information to the encryption
• Added check if the provided ISO is a CD or DVD image for proper LIMG header creation
Changes in multiMAN:
• Added support to encrypt standard disc-backup PS2 ISO files from /dev_hdd0/PS2ISO and /dev_usbxxx/PS2ISO to PS2 Classics
• Added support to delete PS2 Classics (ISO+folder)
• Added support to load PS2 Classics from USB HDD (folder will be transferred to internal HDD)
• Encryption is done by spawning "ps2classics" which resides in mM's USRDIR/sys/PS2C.BIN (the one provided in the ps2classics.rar above)
Basically it comes down to:
1) Rip your original PS2 game disc with multiMAN (it took just 4-5 mins to backup my KILLZONE disc) / or transfer a PS2 ISO backup to /dev_hdd0/PS2ISO
2) Go to RETRO column and load the ISO - you'll be prompted to convert to PS2 Classic
3) Conversion takes 2 to 5 mins and you'll be returned to multiMAN (you'll see the converted game with [PS2 Classic] suffix in the name)
4) Activate the PS2 Classic and start it from XMB/PS2 Classic Placeholder
Default CID and KLICENSE used (compatible with aldostools and CaptainCPS-X tools/apps):
CID: 2P0001-PS2U10000_00-0000111122223333
KLC: E4E54FD67C16C316F47829A30484D843
p.s. I was FINALLY able to test all this PS2-Classics stuff:
1) Download and install ReactPSN 2.24 and PS2ClassicsPlaceholder from mM's WEB column
- Create "aa" account and login with it (make sure AUTO-LOGIN is disabled so you can chose "ReactPSN Xrif Xedat" account)
- Copy /exdata folder (included in ReactPSN zip) with 2P0001-PS2U10000_00-0000111122223333.rap file in it on USB stick
- Start reactPSN and login with your regular account after reboot
= 2mins
2) Start multiMAN and put KILLZONE PS2 original disc
3) From game column select "Copy" while Killzone disc is displayed
4) Backup to /dev_hdd0 (PS2ISO)
= 10mins
5) After copy completes go to RETRO column and activate "KILLZONE" ISO
6) It prompts for encryption (4,4GB)
= 12min
7) Back to mM and RETRO column - activate "Killzone [PS2 Classic]"
8) Quit to XMB and start "PS2 Classics Placeholder"
= 30sec
TOTAL = 24mins to RIP a full 4,4GB DVD, convert to PS2 Classic and start it. ALL THAT ON THE PS3.

Contains modified source and PS3 executable "ps2classics.self". It can be used by any PS3 application to convert a regular disc PS2 ISO to ISO.BIN.ENC.
Can be used as easy as:
char* launchargv[8];
memset(launchargv, 0, sizeof(launchargv));
launchargv[0] = (char*)malloc( 2); strcpy(launchargv[0], "e");
launchargv[1] = (char*)malloc( 4); strcpy(launchargv[1], "cex");
launchargv[2] = (char*)malloc(i3); strcpy(launchargv[2], klc_path );
launchargv[3] = (char*)malloc(i1); strcpy(launchargv[3], iso_path1);
launchargv[4] = (char*)malloc(i2); strcpy(launchargv[4], iso_path2);
launchargv[5] = (char*)malloc(12); strcpy(launchargv[5], "ISO.BIN.ENC");
launchargv[6] = (char*)malloc(37); strcpy(launchargv[6], "2P0001-PS2U10000_00-0000111122223333");
launchargv[7] = NULL;
_Exitspawn(ps2classics, (char* const*)launchargv, NULL, NULL, 0, 1001, SYS_PROCESS_PRIMARY_STACK_SIZE_1M);
Where iso_path1 is the source iso, iso_path2 is the destination encrypted iso.bin.enc and klc_path is the path to the klicense.
I just tested it (launching a regular ISO in mM, it spawns the ps2classics.self and creates the encrypted ISO + a folder structure) - everything seems ok. It needs a nice progress bar, improved I/O by using async read/write and you're good to go. It doesn't support 4GB+ files, but properly adds missing info for CD ISO files.
Basically with mM you can dump your PS2 game disc, load it in the RETRO column, it will convert it to ps2classic in a minute or two and you can load it with ps2-classics-placeholder. I'll release a test mM later.
Showtime 04.03.128 by Andreas Oman is now available (for mM and as standalone in the WEB column).
