PSNpatch by KW

With the release of PSNpatch v04.70.06 the developer and creator KW of the Ps3 Homebrew Application and plugin, has a message to user's to READ the documentation and uasge docs (link). As this update was not needed if user's were properly reading the documentation provided by the developer. This update has a change in how the Unlock PSN access when disabling CFW feature works . Before this feature was for the plugin only as describe in the official docs, but now came be used from the app as well. So this should fix any issues where the documentation was not read, but the developer is asking for members to please reads those documents as most questions asked already have those answers provided in most cases.

Recent PSNpatch Changelogs:

NEW 4.70.06 (22/MAR/2015)
-Small "user friendly" update:
"Unlock PSN access when disabling CFW" is extended from "plugin-only" to both application and plugin (NOTE a)
-Several performance improvements;
-README and FAQ files updated: READ!

Notes:
a) This will help users having difficulties accessing PSNPatch documentation - where it was explained that the plugin must (should) be used for this.
b) You must read this document BEFORE USING PSNPATCH - no support will be given for questions already covered in this document or in the FAQ list.








4.70.05 (15/MAR/2015)
- psnpatch plugin updated to faster start-up (when locking psn access);
- non-cobra plugin-manager updated: faster, safer, smaller and firmware independent (4.XX CEX past and future);
- psnpatch deletes app_home from xmb in cobra but NOT in non-cobra (needed for discless start);
- source code updated.
- psnpatch pkg file was optimized once again: un-install psnpatch and reinstall new version to benefict from the small size.

Note I:
It has always been a major objective of psnpatch to be made firmware version independent.
This will guarantee that once a new firmware is released, we wouldn't need to wait for KW to release a new psnpatch version as the one already available would be compatible.
Almost everything was made this way: From the CFW disabling, to the IDPS spoofing, passing trough plugin compatibility or rap installs.
The plugin manager for non-cobra WAS not YET like this: A payload for every firmware version was needed.
With the new changes NOW included in 4.70.05,
PSNPatch will "patch" the payload to the currently running firmware version, hopefully making it "firmware independent" as all the other functions.


Note II:
Some users asked for a ISO loading in non-cobra.
This is not impossible, in fact, loading MAMBA for the job at start-up is easy and works.
But, it does not make sense in psnpatch scope:
Plugin loading in non-cobra firmwares opens the door for non-cobra firmwares to load plugins at boot,
like psnpatch plugin (for things like auto block psn and disable cfw from XMB)
or even a lightweight version of webman to load folder format games.
From here, plugins developers can do whatever they fit appropriate.
In my opinion, what is offered for non-cobra is already very nice.
When we want ISO, NET loading, PS3MAPI, and whatever more we can get from cobra ... we go for cobra








4.70.02 (3/MAR/2015) - BIG news for Non-Cobra CFW!
- Added auto-boot PLUGINS FOR NON-COBRA CFW !!!
- New psnpatch plugin updated to fully run in BOTH COBRA and NON-COBRA;
- Included webman-mod plugin for both cobra and non-cobra modes;
- "Block PSN Access" now works for BOTH COBRA and NON-COBRA at boot time;
- (providing the psnpatch plugin is installed - wait for psnpatch welcome message).
- IDPS auto-spoofing now works for BOTH COBRA and NON-COBRA at boot time;
- (providing the psnpatch plugin is installed - wait for psnpatch welcome message).
- Confirmed compatibility with 4.70 CFW
- (this is just a confirmation as no code changes were needed);

Notes for Non-Cobra plugins:
1) Non-cobra plugins should be configured in /dev_hdd0/prx_plugins.txt;
(psnpatch does this automatically when installing psnpatch or webman plugins);
2) Non-cobra plugins can mount games only in jailbreak format;
3) ISO support for non-cobra is comming
4) When in non-cobra CFW: go to new "TOOLBOX" menu in PSNPatch app to configure plugins;
5) Non-cobra plugins were tested just in 4.70, but it should be compatible with several previous CFW versions;
6) Many failsafe procedures were taken in consideration to install the non-cobra plugin handler.
In the event of something going wrong
(a broken plugin or an error installing the plugin handler),
there are 2 EASY failsafe procedures:
a) Create a "failsafe" file and place it in a folder named "core_flags" in a usb stick in the right usb port of the ps3.
This procedure can also be done to disable plugin loading from non-cobra cfw.
b) Re-install the CFW from the Recovery menu.
