Developer zecoxao who recently ported the Full NoBD patch originally from MiraLaTijera (MLT) CFW to Rebug 4.46. Now with help from dev. sguerrini97 they have managed to get the correct patches working for 4.5X CFW. There is not PUP released but these are the patches that CFW developers will need if they apply this patch, that will give support to launch apps/homebrew even without a BluRay and Logic Board in working condition.

A PUP is sure to arise soon, so play it safe and do not install any random PuPs. if you do not have the means to recover from a brick then you should await for positive feedback on any CFW PuP release. As some may try to rush to be the first to release. Below are the patches needed for FULL NoBD Support for 4.5X Custom Firmwares so enjoy scene developers.

Note 3.55 user's have this option: FERROX 3.55 and 4.46 user have Rebug 4.46

About this CFW Release:
This custom firmware is designed primarily for those who have a bluray player with the logic board broken, and it is unable to start homebrew as the Factory Service Mode Tool 0.2.
In this way you can start and recover the BluRay player through the process of remarry without the aid of a flasher or Dongle .

LUA Player psl1ght-v2 port
(Quotes reformatted by STLcardsWS)

Compiled with psl1ght 2 and signed for 4.xx
The app search for "/dev_usb000/app.lua",
change nothing on lib code, fix only the usual path/name probs for psl1ght vs psl1ght-v2

I add e.g. TTF-font support, a sys-font in the example. But I am really not interested in LUA. Maybe someone
here have time and pleasure to add things like sound (from psl1ght or SDL) and other things to the LUA Player.

DOWNGRADE:

If you eventually want to downgrade from any version of CFW FERROX 4.x to an OFW CFW 3.xx or 4.xx, you have the foresight to have installed the first qaflag and set the DEBUG SYSTEM UPDATE "ON".

(For all those who incur 8002F157 error, it means you have not activated the MODE 'ON DEBUG ON qaflag through and then have to do the deashing on the console)

I remind you that, even if the CFW's has been tested by many users, it OpenModding.net the developer will take responsibility for any damage caused to your PS3.

To correct this error: Install CFW 4:21 Rebug or CFW that allows you to activate the qa flag and the mode 'debugging. Upgrade to OFW 3:55 for two times in a row. (That's right, to install RECOVERY twice the OFW 3.55. Proceed with the installation of any other CFW's)

I remind you that the starting point of this custom firmware is 3:55 Original Firmware or any custom firwmare ..

Is it my second, my third or even my fourth comeback? I used to leave the scene often, but I had never got a good reason if I am honest...I hadn't got time or I just got bored.

But this time, something sad had happened in my family and I thought I wouldn't have enough strength to work for the scene, so I decided to leave you with the last update TN-V8.

I have been in a hole in my life for a short time, but I was stronger than I thought and I could climb up the hole and here I am again. And as usually, every time I came back I also brought something great to you guys.

What can it be this time, heh? PS1 games with sound.
I have to admit, I was wrong with my statement about the PEOPS SPU plugin. I used to say that it is going to run at 5 FPS and this is completely wrong, it was a stupid thesis.

You all have surely heard about the 'PEOPS plugin' by Coldbird. This is the most brilliant idea ever guys. Here is his proof of concept 2 years ago.



The main idea of PEOPS SPU plugin is simple:

As the ME CPU isn't emulated in the PSPEMU, which is responsible for SPU emulation, we have to redirect the SPU calls (register write, DMA, XA processing) to the PEOPS SPU plugin and let it do the job for us. It sounds pretty simple, but the problem is, we have to find these callbacks in the pops module by Sony, which is pretty huge! It requires reverse engineering skills, experience and time.

Coldbird has given me his POC a long time ago, but sadly I could never have his plugin working.
Two weeks ago, I decided to write the plugin on my own and now I've nearly finished it. Most of the time I spent with reversing parts of the pops module, because primarily, the module must be understood, before any custom codes can be inject.

Anyways, I don't think you're interested in what I am blabbering here. So I show you a video now, just watch and listen carefully to the beautiful sound in Tekken 3. Enjoy:



I know, I know, it's awesome. But still there are quiet some bugs to fix. There are many games which don't have any sound effects yet or some sounds do always repeat (which sounds quiet funny haha xD)

But whenever it is done, the PEOPS SPU plugin will get shipped together with 6.60 TN-V9.

Donate me if you want to support the 6.60 TN-V9 development.

Changes in 0.23.000: Added new "Network Folders" menu to webMAN tools.

This new option let you mount a shared folder on the PC as a local folder (/dev_bdvd). You must have running PS3 NET Server on the PC and server address configured on webMAN.

With this option you can play (supported) remote videos, music, pictures, and install PKG files stored on a remote PC (virtually in any place of the globe) directly from XMB. You can also play shared rom files, browse remote folders and more.

Download in link below Or update directly on the PS3 from the About option in XMBM+ menu

Credits: All this is possible thanks to Cobra7's integrated network features and to @deank for the marvelous webMAN.

NOTE: WiFi networks can be too slow for certain operations. A wired network is highly recommended.

Hi guys, after a week and a half of work I present the plugin manager v 1.00 for CFW cex

This homebrew has as a basis the “CFW Setup”, developed by ps3ita team for their CFW cobra 4.50 DEx, but have completely different functions.

As you could see from the picture you have 5 options:
1) installs and activates *Webman v 1.29.3
2) installs and activates habibplugin. sprx
3) creates the file boot_plugins.txt (without written plugins directory)
4) Deletes all plugins in the console and leaves empty boot_plugins.txt file
5) Save from homebrew and exits.

* = for active means that the path of the plugin will be written to the file boot_plugins.txt.

For users who are poorly informed, by pressing the start key on one of the options, you can see a detailed explanation of the selected option.
Changelog:

Automatic acquisition of the language set in the console (send now only Italian and English, are already at work for French and Spanish).
Possibility to install/uninstall webma and habibplugin.
Self-creation dle boot_plugins.txt file.
When you install a plugin via this homebrew plugin path is written to the boot_plugins.txt file.

We are proud to present the 2.1 release, firstly we're updating the firmware to Improve stability and performance as well as fix bypass method not working for some PS3 models and we have made the Cobra browser the default game manager as well as displaying the firmware version in the browser and added new configuration options.

We haven now updated the bypass tools, the genps3swapdisc tool will now be able to update an existing swap disc when new eboots are added to it and previously converted isos will not need to be re-converted for the new swap disc. The EBOOT folder has also been updated, now with 5760 total eboots files.

The database has also been updated, and The user manual has now been updated illustrating new
config options.

A small number of 5.1B early production boards had a
manufacturing issue which caused them to corrupt data
and the PS3 would show an error when trying to run games.
We are releasing an update specifically for those boards which have issues and which should fix the problem, although we cannot guarantee every board will be fixed by the update. We recommend anyone with a defective board to return it for replacement after making sure the issue they are experiencing is caused by a defective board.

If the normal 2.1 firmware does not work for you and you get
error 80010017 or 80010007 in the XMB, but the error disappears
after you use the special 2.1 firmware for defective boards,
then your board has the defect and you can request a replacement.
