Correct module_action for PKG installs

Open jandal55 opened this issue 1 year ago • 1 comments

I recently used the toggle for /dev/hdd0/game in the "scan for content" submenu. This allows me to list all of the installed PKG games in a custom order alongside JB/ISO - GREAT!

However, if i try to launch one of these games, the default action is something like:

/mount_ps3/dev_hdd0/game/NPUA80105>

This results in nothing useful as these games (i guess) dont need to be mounted to run, and have a different folder structur to, for example, JB folder games. If i do this through the web interface i see "Game loaded successfully. Start the game from the disc icon" but obiously there isnt a disc icon anywhere.

Im wondering if there is another default action i could use to just launch the game directly, or if its something to do with the folder structure difference/lack of ps3disc.sfb or something like that. I can see a /play.ps3 action for playing mounted games - would that work here?

PKG games (aka npDRM games) cannot be launched directly by webMAN MOD. For that reason, the game must be mounted through the debug icon ★ app_home/PS3_GAME (aka ★ PlayStation®3).

If you don't have that icon listed on Game column of XMB, you need to enable the option /app_home found in the section "Scan for Content" of /setup.ps3. Save the settings and restart the console. The next time webMAN MOD is started, the debug icon should appear.

The web command /play.ps3 is an alias for /mount_ps3 that additionally jump to disc icon or app_home icon (depending what is mounted) and automatically click X to launch the mounted game.
