Hacking Some questions

[Windows_10_User]

I'm on Rebug 4.84.2. Can someone answer the following questions?

1 - Do I have to download and install PS2CONFIG (like I did) if already having webMAN MOD's "Auto CONFIG" setting checked on "PLAYSTATION®2" on the "Scan for content" setting?

2 - After changing RetroArch's "Aspect Ratio" setting to "Custom" for each one of the cores I use and save by exiting RetroArch, I have to set it and exit RetroArch in some cores again because the "Aspect Ratio" setting is blank and I won't be able to play games since I'll have a white screen. I have to change RetroArch's "Aspect Ratio" setting again when having said problem, which is annoying.

3 - Do multiMAN and ManaGunZ support NTFS drives?

4 - Should I always connect my USB devices to the right PS3 USB port (my PS3 is Slim) or just when running the PlayStation 3 Toolset by @bguerville?

5 - What's SEN Enabler?

6 - After playing offline, I've signed into PSN and synced trophies but they still don't appear.

7 - What's the "GAMEZ" folder for?

8 - It seems my PS3's external HDD where the PS1 and PS3 games are stored is vibrating. I always put it on top of the PS3. May I have any future issues with it?

3. I think that only IrisMan and webMan support NTFS drives

4. It seems like a convention to do that so I guess so. I see no reasons to do it the other way anyway.

5. SEN Enabler will allow you to spoof to latest version so you'll be able to go online on any CFW.

6. Trophies should be synced on your PSN account when you go in your trophies collection while you're connected to the PSN.
I don't see why it doesn't work for you.

7. I guess that "Gamez" folder in an old thing that some people still use but no backup manager need it.

8. Try to reduce vibrations by placing it on a little tissue.
If it's not that, it may be because the PS3 "hard" shutdown the hard drive when you turn it off so it may have damaged your hard drive, idk.

I used it with FileZilla Client and only the FAT32 partition appears.

So, does that mean I can use it instead of PSN Patch? Do the odds of getting banned increase?

6. Trophies should be synced on your PSN account when you go in your trophies collection while you're connected to the PSN.

Maybe they don't appear because I wasn't connected to my PSN account but if I sync the them while connected to it will I have all of them, I mean, the ones I got while on CFW and being disconnected from my PSN account as well as the ones I already had on OFW while being connected to my PSN account?

yes, don't use both together. that's recommended. you should be able to sync trophies you got from either. you could even sync trophies you unlocked yourself. I think this is even true of the vita. as long as it's the same account it should work.

I've never used it, as well as reActPSN, only PSN Patch. I've heard the chance of getting banned increases if SEN Enabler is used.

 

[Eveldee]

I don't know where you heard that, but they basically so the same things.
Furthermore, SEN Enabler is more up-to-date than PSN Patch, even if it does not mean anything.

It seems I need an app called Charles Proxy to block some addresses along with SEN Enabler. How can I use it and is SEN Enabler compatible with Rebug CEX?

 

[Eveldee]

You use Charles Proxy with both SEN Enabler and PSN Patch, no one do it natively.
And yes, it is compatible with Rebug CEX, even thought I use it on Ferrox CEX.

I never used it (Charles Proxy). Which addresses should I add to it?

Will I be able to use Universal Media Server since after doing the PSN Patch's button combination and configuring the PS3's network settings on the XMB to stream videos from the PC to the PS3 it will be said to install the latest FW?

 

[Eveldee]

I can give you the addresses when I get on my computer if you want.
Also, you should use movian instead of using the Universal Media Server

Since I'm not american do I have to make some changes to them?

How can I stream the videos from the PC to the PS3? Do I watch the videos on multiMAN since it has Movian or do I have to download and install the latter? Do I need to do the PSN Patch's button combination as well as configure the PS3's network settings on the XMB like with Universal Media Server and install the latest FW? Also, when using Universal Media Server, the PC and the PS3 make a lot of noise and the videos freeze shortly after streaming them to the PS3. Maybe I don't have these problems in Movian.

 

[Eveldee]

You'll have to change one ip that is country-dependant.
You can stream to the PS3 using an FTP/Samba server.
I don't know since I never used multiMan, install the Homebrew if it doesn't work.
With Movian, you don't need to be connected to PSN so no reason for that.
I never encountered any issue on H264 encoded files in 1080p with flac audio, guess it wouldn't support x265.

Does Movian have a FTP server? If not, I'd have to use multiMAN's.

 

[Eveldee]

It has, but I use Samba personally as it is easier to use.
To connect to an ftp server, just type the link in the address bar, like:

ftp://someftp.com

Sorry, but before that, do you know how to delete SingStar from XMB? I already followed this tutorial and it didn't work since after restarting the PS3 it always returns.

EDIT: Also, should I have PSN Patch with webMAN MOD installed? Every time I do that "L3" + "R3" + "R2" button combination it unloads webMAN MOD but it's also PSN Patch's plugin's button combination so before accessing PSN should I remove this plugin, unload webMAN MOD and then run PSN Patch while pressing the "Cross" button?

 

[Eveldee]

There is an option in webMan configuration to disable singstar icon.
I don't know about that, I only use SEN Enabler plugin.

I can't find it. It seems it only existed on previous versions.

 

[Eveldee]

I think it was fixed in a new version, you should get it on GitHub.

I installed the latest version from there and I still can't find that setting. It seems it was removed since some previous versions had it.

Could you tell me how to stream video from the PC to the PS3 using Movian? I tried using it to play a 1080p MKV video from an external HDD and it reported a problem (I think it said the PS3's CPU was too slow to decode the video) and the video was slowing down a lot. I used deank's Movian, not multiMAN's or the official version.

Also, since I only used SEN Enabler to restore PSN's access and deleted it next, I guess I don't need Charles Proxy (though I accessed PSN without it). If no SEN Enabler version (as well as a HAN/CFW/PS3HEN version) that supported the latest FW was out, how could PSN be accessed? Would I have to wait for a new version (or a new HAN/CFW/PS3HEN version) that supported it to become available?
