[PS3 HOMEBREW] Iris Manager 1.60 Beta 4 Now Available

Following Beta 3, Estwald has now released Iris Manager Beta 4. Judging by these speedy releases Beta 5 could be around the corner. This release again improves PS1 emulation and also game compatibility. Vagrant Story and Resident Evil are now playable. Also added is a method to use cheats, the rest contains mostly bug fixes.

Changelog Iris Manager 1.60 Beta 4:


New improvements in ps1_emu emulation. Now games like Vagrant Story or Resident Evil work on ps1_netemu, thanks to the creation on the fly of the required data from the 0×930 (2352) bytes in the sector. Also some bugs were fixed on the payload.
Added mode 3 to payload_storage to let launch the ISO for the cheats disc having a PSX disc on the drive. Just attach a pendrive, run with cheats and at the appropriate time, eject the ISO removing the pendrive. That works at least with Xploder 4 (if it’s necessary, you’ll have to eject the disc and insert it again: as soon as you detach the pendrive, the payload is disabled and the disc will work normally).
Fixed some bugs, like copying file when the USB is almost full.
All the payloads were modified to add a detection flag. That let you restart the console, for example, if you used multiMAN and the syscall 8 is inactive.
Remember guys and girls that this is a Beta version, so bugs still need squashing.

Iris Manager 1.60 Beta 3 Out

Spoiler:
Iris Manager reaches Beta 3 of version 1.60 and brings more improvements to PSX emulation. This includes a fix for sound cuts, improvements to security (sounds like a Sony update (Just kidding)), internal_mc fix and SELF file execution from the Iris directory. Be sure to read the full changelog from Estwald below.

About Iris Manager 1.60 Beta 3:

Improved the emulation of ps1_emu. Fixed some bugs and added security improvements. No more annoying cuts in the sound.
Fixed the issue with the bad format of the Internal_MC. (There was a 0×0a instead of a 0xa0).
Added the ability to create a formatted Interna_MC (Video/Others)
Added the abiity to execute ps1_emu.self and ps1_netemu.self from Iris directory (copying a resigned ps1_emu.self into /dev_hdd0/game/IMANAGER4 it is possible to use the emulator from a version higher than the current firmware, and they can be patched or not).



Continue to test, in particular, I'm interested in reports regarding the problem of that black screen when you start the emulator (I got to check to see if the area where LV2 installed is clean, but it could be the instruction cache, therefore I have increased the number of cycles of the routine copying ) Greetings

Iris Manager Updated to v1.55 by Estwald

Spoiler:
Estwald has been busy pumping out alot of updates this past week to Iris Manager. He is back again providing yet more support for Iris, updating the backup manager to v1.55. This time around he has added support for 4.31 CFW and added new patches to improve the PS1 Emulator. Check below at the rough google translation for the details in the v1.55 update.

Rough Google Translation -- Release Quote by Estwald

What's new:

- 4.31 CFW Support Miralastijeras: Give thanks for my part, collaborative attitude author, who has tried to give me the job as possible (still, if I had not moved to CFW, would have been difficult, because there were things that fallitos missing and some we had gone mad: so that I could dump LV1 and LV2

- New Homelaunc1 for CFW 4.31

- New patch for PS1 EMULATOR: I put big that solves the problem that some games cause ps1_netemu call: I do fakeando the disk ID in sector 16. That was the reason why such Chrono Cross remained in black, but if another disk givest PSX, tore that game [+risas]

I also added a new patch to simulate TOC extended info, if necessary.

IMPORTANT: 4.31 ps1_emu not be used. Using 4.30 or less. I have to look at how viable is doing via syscall emulation (the biggest problem, to house the code, which is a lot and used to all versions)

- Fixed some minor bugs in the previous version.
