Today is a special day. This marks an important release. You are now able to dump metldr from a simple pkg install, instead of using linux resources. That's right, thanks to CMX, this awesome bundle allows you to dump metldr without going through red ribbons and debians!

This is a new XMB Mod ive been working on, Its called WebMAN Launchpad, and it allows for 12 of your favourite WM games, and 6 WM functions to be easily accessed from the XMB with large Shortcut icons. This has a few advantages (and some disadvantages) over normal webman XMB GUI, as you can set age limits on which games/items show up.
So for example you could set it up so that certain games and the Webman setup icon dont show up for users under 15 or 18 or whatever age you want.

This will install a new item above WebMAN Games on your XMB. Items can be added/removed too reasonably easily with a text editor.

There is a little bit of setup involved after you first install this as you need to put enter the paths for your 12 favourite backups (and thier cover links) into a text file called "WebMAN_Launchpad" which you will find at dev_hdd0/ root.

The text entry for each game looks like this example:


So just change those 2 links to your own links for each game/function you want to see with a large tile like in the video. If you want it to show less games just delete the entries from the text file.

For now the only way I can find to get the covers on to the PS3 initially is to host them and let them download, I cant get local links working yet but im sure its fixable. (note: the cover link must be direct and end in .png or .jpg, dropbox is good)

For a long time i have been trying/using most of the fan control apps that i could find on the interwebz. because of the 'gamesonic fan control utility' version 3.10 having a bug on Rebug firmwares, causing the psn 'Account Privacy' settings to be unable to access i've decided to write a app myself using Estwald payload (big props to him) and psl1ght.

Supported Firmwares
CEX - 3.41, 3.55, 4.21, 4.30 4.31, 4.40, 4.41, 4.46, 4.50, 4.53, 4.55,4.60, 4.70, 4.75, 4.78,
DEX - 3.55, 4.21, 4.30, 4.50, 4.55, 4.70, 4.76, 4.78

the application might work with other firmwares but because i'm not aware of the syscall_base of those specific firmwares, and also being lazy to install and test, i have removed the compatibility, nothing bad will happen if you run it, you will just get a 'firmware not supported' message
