Net Server not mounting PKG folder or GAMEI folders + GAMEI USB Issue

[pieterisme]

HI Aldo, having issues with the net server if adding folders
PKG or GAMEI dont seem to be found when broadcast with ps3netsrv_20240709, using latest version of webman mod 47.47h with evilnat 15beta
Folders are broadcasting, managed to get PKG working however it needed to be on its own share and has to be manually mounted in webman->net1\pkg to packages to be able to view them?? is this normal can this be automounted?

I cant seem to get GAMEI folder read via netserv, checked files are on net2\GAMEI - NPEB01899 (minecraft), BLES80616 (prepiso) but they dont show as installed or able to be run from *Playstation menu ??
I also tried a usb with GAMEI on it with the same folders, doesn't seem to refresh with xml or games even with USB game data on or off.. also GAME Data to usb seems to turn itself off after reboot? if this normal

--PS3_NET_Server.cfg --
[Settings]
whitelist=192.168.1.*
path0="D:\ps3_more\ps3netsrv_20240709\Share1"
port0="38008"
path1="D:\ps3_more\ps3netsrv_20240709\Share2"
port1="38009"
path2="D:\ps3_more\ps3netsrv_20240709\Share3"
port2="38010"

The folder names are case sensitive. The folders for the extracted packages should be GAMEI and the name of the sub-folder should be the content ID of the package or the game ID.

Example:

GAMEI\
|_ UP1000-NPEB12345_00-0000111122223333\
   |_ ICON0.PNG
   |_ PARAM.SFO
   |_ USRDIR\
       |_ EBOOT.BIN

To list the GAMEI games in the XMB menu, this option must be checked in /setup.ps3

Also icon ★app_home/PS3_GAME or ★PlayStationⓇ3 must be present on XMB game column. Otherwise the GAMEI folder will be ignored, since this icon is required to launch the remote games.

The remote packages stored in /PKG are not listed on webMAN Games. You need to mount /net0/PKG or /net2/PKG to see the packages in the Package Manager. Only the packages stored /PKG of the NTFS or exFAT devices are listed in the menu.

The redirection of dev_hdd0/game to USB is done in memory. It's temporary and it resets after reboot.

Sorry for the delayed response, my ps3netserv has the same folder structure as yours except the folders only have the game id eg. NPEB12345 but all the contents under it are present and I have the GAMEI on in the setup?? Also any idea how to exit games without a ps button the button combos dont seem to work. I am using a ps5 controller.

You can try mounting a different GAMEI game to see if it's a compatibility issue with that game.

To exit from a game you can bookmark this web command /xmb.ps3$exit on your Phone.
The full URL is something like http://10.0.0.33/xmb.ps3$exit (replace the IP address with the correct IP address of your PS3)

Any way to make the button commands available in games? I am currently just using the eject button with an old dvd to triggle an unmount or disrupt or something as it goes back to the xmb menu

If you cannot access the PS button in game, it make difficult to access the custom combos since they need to be executed from XMB or in-game XMB.

Your solution works but it causes more stress to the disc eject mechanism.

The web command on the smartphone can be convenient because it can be added as a shortcut on the phone's screen.
