Blinking green diode when launching IRISMAN 2nd time. Issue with CDDA in PS1 games. #13

I have a problem with blinking green diode. I mean... When I launch PS1 game through IRISMAN, exit from it. Launch once again IRISMAN, green diode in PS3 will start to blink: https://i.postimg.cc/GpStmk9W/led-blinksgreen.gif

IRISMAN 4.86.3 on Rebug 4.86.1 Lite.

IRISMAN has 2 methods for launching PS1 games:

1- If the game is stored in a storage with native file system (e.g. FAT32, internal HDD) the game is launched directly using a payload to call the emulator. Cobra/Mamba is not used.

2- If the game is stored in NTFS, IRISMAN launches the plugin "sprx_iso" (rawseciso proxy) and the plugin mounts the ISO using Cobra API. IRISMAN exits and the user can launch the game manually from XMB.

For some reason Estwald liked to make the green diode blink or change of color when Iris Manager performed some task... DeanK used to do the same in webMAN. Maybe they changed the led just because it was possible.

I never changed that code and left it as it was originally designed.

In your case that weird "alert" means that the internal fan controller of IRISMAN is not working. But that is normal, because the internal fan controller is disabled for PS3HEN.

Honestly I never look at the led lights since my PS3 is located behind the TV and only see it when I turn off the console manually.

I'm launching my PS1 games from hdd0:/PSXISO/... So as you said directly.

The diode will blink even when I will exit from IRISMAN. When I will turn off PS3 it will stop blinking.

As always, thank for detailed answer. Best regards.

If the blinking is too annoying... redownload IRISMAN from https://github.com/aldostools/IRISMAN/releases/tag/4.86.3

I have re-downloaded package (md5sum: 85ef8ab59002a9bd148a91644289030e), but the green diode still will blink when I launch IRISMAN 4.86.3 for the 2nd time.

Thank you for the feedback... I only changed IRISMAN, but I didn't check that the plugin sprx_iso (rawseciso) also has the code to show the green light blinking.

If when you launch the PS1 game, it returns to XMB, then it's using sprx_iso and it will show the led blinking.

My suggest is that ignore that light... Estwald used to change the led in multiple components of Iris.

I have also tested IRISMAN 4.85 with the same results... I don't know if this problem and with Memory Card are somehow related to FW?

Because I never spotted this before...

Anyway, little bit off-topic - I will edit issue title... The only Emulator that currently is supporting CDDA through IRISMAN is old_emu. With old_netemu in e.g. GTA music plays 2x faster then normal. I couldn't get music (CDDA) to work with ps1_emu or with ps1_netemu.

I do not have this problem with webMAN MOD v1.47.28, no matter if I choose ps1_emu or ps1_netemu.
