feature request: display games from game folder(installed pkg)

[retrosapien]

I'm not sure if this is possible or if it already exists in some other app. I'm looking for a way to update games on the ps3 that are installed to the game folder. I know Irisman can download and install game updates for disks/iso. Is this possible to do with installed psn games? I can't even figure out how to get Irisman to show them. With the servers being shutdown this will be more of an issue going forward. thanks

Since i know webman is your priority, if this can be done safely from webman, that might actually be better.

Is the info from this thread true? https://www.reddit.com/r/ps3homebrew/comments/ikgume/game_updates_on_ps3hen

If it is, I would still like to be able to see all games in irisman, but it would be less important if I can just update when launching the game from xmb.

Games can in fact be updated from the xmb without worry, as no sign in is required to fetch updates. A ps3 isn't even required as many tools can download updates on PC perfectly fine

As far as I remember, backup managers like multiMAN and IRISMAN only scan for updates of ISO and JB folders.

It is safe to download the updates and install them when you start a game. You don't require to be logged to PSN.

You can download the updates from the following page, save the packages to an USB pendrive then use Install All Packages. https://ps3.aldostools.org/updates.html

Thanks for the reassurance. I feel more confidant hitting that update button now.

Is that a comprehensive list of updates? Even if it's not, it's still quite impressive. I was looking for something like that while I waited for your reassurance.

The people at psndl and nopaystation need those in their database.

Bucanero could add this to pkgi. That was the first place I looked for a solution. I was surprised there was not a game updates database.

Is it just me or is it not possible to paste into the search bar on that update page?

also i learned something cool from Bucanero while posting a suggestion for pgki; This url format returns an xml with the update links from sony.

$ curl -k "https://a0.ww.np.dl.playstation.net/tpl/np/BLUS30538/BLUS30538-ver.xml"

Try using Chrome on the PC. I just tested it and it can paste fine.

Yes, you can use that URL to check the XML directly on playstation server.

[retrosapien]

Yep. Just me and my antique PC. Works fine on my phone. Lol just checked chrome on my pc and it's even worse. Doesn't even show the search bar. 🤣

As you probably seen, I couldn't even use the code block button. I had to use my phone to edit it.

But for future reference it looks like I just have to surround it with three backticks. 

😁

I also just noticed something in the web view on webman mod. While hovering over the gameid under the image in the game folder, it shows that update url. Clicking on it doesn't work, as it says my connection is not secure. I would just copy the url to the clipboard and use curl anyway, so that's not a big deal. So webman mod for the win after all. And pkgi with the assist. 😁
