4.46 Firmware Cex or Dex with LV2 Syscall 10 (e.g. Rebug)
4.50 Firmware with LV2 Syscall 10 (untested, dunno if it exists at all)

how to:

if you're on rebug, run the toolbox and enable the "LV2 Memory Protection" patch
run the VSH Plugin Sample App
connect to your PS3 from PC using a telnet client (e.g. putty) on port 4546
enjoy

Q&A

Q: What kind of other background tasks could be done?
A: ftp server, debug plugins, cheat plugins, fan utilities, etc.

plugin_dev folder (for plugin developers):

prx_loader.ppu.self is supposed to be loaded via tm (loads everything from /app_home)
edit plugins.txt to load your plugin
test_prx folder contains a simple prx example (have a look at cobra's netiso as well)

[Tutorial] How to use VHS PRX Loader for NOOBS

What is VSH PRX Loader?

It's an homebrew developed by user using Cobra USB source code, that allow to load plugins (tasks) in background, this mean you can use those plugins while gaming or browsing xmb.

Note: I Tested this only on Rebug 4.46 Rex, so it will be great to have feedbacks from other firmwares.
Note2: My main language it's not english, there might be some errors, please report them.

Requirements (taken from developer release note)
• 4.46 Firmware Cex or Dex with LV2 Syscall 10 (e.g. Rebug)
• 4.50 Firmware with LV2 Syscall 10 (untested, dunno if it exists at all)

1. Set up VHS PRX Loader "automatically"

This is the easy way to set up VHS PRX Loader, you just need to install the pacakge you want from Brewology. Those packages already includes all currently released plugins and the latest version of VHS PRX Loader. Pick the package you want and install it as usual.

1a. Set up VHS PRX Loader "manually"

Is it also possible to add some others plugins or update the existing plugins manually. To do that you need to have VHS PRX Loader installed, you can use brewology link above or install this version wich come without plugins. A plugin is "just" a .sprx file, to use it with this homebrew you need to place it in /dev_hdd0/game/PRXLOADER/USRDIR/ using the normal Multiman FTP or using an USB drive and mmOS. Once your .sprx is in place you have to choose wich plugins you want to activate, with the current version (1.02) of PRX Loader it can activate up to 6 plugins simultaneously. To activate your plugin, edit plugins.txt found in /dev_hdd0/game/PRXLOADER/USRDIR/ and add the path to your sprx, one path per line. Here is an example. (Click to expand)

2. Run VHS PRX Loader

First off you need to patch LV2 to disable auto shutdown on LV2 modification. Install the latest version of rebug toolbox from Rebug Website, Run Rebug toolbox, move to LV1 Patches column, and enable LV2 memory protection patch, do this every time you reboot your ps3. Now you can run PRX Loader homebrew, it should kick you back to xmb, this is normal and it mean it worked. If it shut down your ps3 it mean something went wrong with Rebug Toolbox, so remove and reinsert the power cord from your ps3, and try again. Now your plugin are loaded.

How to use FTP Server Plugin

Once this plugin is loaded you have to connect and transfer games to your ps3 using any FTP client from your PC while in XMB or while Gaming. I use WinSCP, but you can use any ftp client.

-For Hostname use your ps3 ip address
-For username write anonymous
-For password write anything you want.
-For port use 21 (or 8021 if 21 is already used)

Here is a login example. (Click to expand)

Attachment 48091

You can also browse your flash memory mounted as /dev_blind. Be extremely careful while browsing /dev_blind because you can brick your console if you delete important file from it.

How to use webMAN (or Web Server) Plugin

This is the easiest plugin to use. It allow to browse ps3 files and mount game remotely (games must be stored on PS3 HDD or PS3 USB, and mounted by a remote device) Just connect to your ps3 ip using a browser, you can use a pc browser or a mobile device like an iPhone, an iPad, or any smartphone with a browser and wifi connectivity. In order to work, both ps3 and pc/mobile device must be connected to the same network. Meanwhile, as for all plugins you can play a game, listen music and use your ps3 as you would normal do.
When you connect to your ps3 this is the interface you see.

If you press the [Game] Button you can mount all your games remotely just with a click. This is the [Game] Button interface.

After a game is Loaded, you can follow the on screen instruction.

How to use Remote PeekPoke Plugin

This plugin is more developer-oriented and is not meant to be used by users and it allow to remote peek/poke at any time and have full ram access via lv1 peek/poke. Is really easy to use it, you just need a telnet client, i use putty.

-Write your PS3 addres as Hostname
-Use Port 4546

[Blockierte Grafik: http://psx-scene.com/forums/attachm…-noobs-xtcn.png]

On the command line interface write help and press enter and the available commands will appear.

Deank releases FTP-Plugin for VSH PRXloader

vsh_ftp_server_prx.zip (27.16KB) (sprx+source)

Code

http://www.sendspace.com/file/7t19h9

* Added support for DATE/TIME when listing folders
* Added proper support for PWD, LIST, MLST, MLSD and MKD commands
* Added back "FEAT" command to help ftp clients negotiate the connection easier
* Added support for passive mode (PASV)
* Renaming of files/folders now work
* Increased send/receive buffer size a bit (reaching 9+MB/s)
* No longer a POC, but fully functional

ftp_server.sprx - 11 562 bytes

Pros: - PS3 FTP server on port 21 while in XMB/vsh/games (or port 8021 if 21 is used):

1) Browse, create, delete, rename files and folders
2) Send / Receive files
3) Full access to the PS3 filesystem
4) Speed: 7 to 10MB/s
5) Login: anonymous | Password: (anything)
6) Custom command: "SITE SHUTDOWN" will shutdown the ps3 (usually a prompt will appear at next boot to confirm that everything is ok)
7) Write access to /dev_flash (mounted as dev_blind)

My test: While loading "Beyond: Two Souls" I transferred 3 movies to /dev_hdd0 - 3GB each, without noticing game stutters or glitches

Cons:

None

***

This is a fully functional plugin now.

Let me know if you can test it with user's. (edit plugins.txt or rename ftp_server.sprx to my_plugin.sprx)

Thanks goes to user for the great prxloader tool and cobra for the release!!

Dean

webMAN 1.05 is now available (main article: http://psx-scene.com/forums/content…-remotely-3848/

http://www.deanbg.com/webftp_server.sprx

* Added support for /dev_usb001/2/3/6/7
* Added support/compatibility with Cobra-Rogero CFW (although not using the cobra functions)
* The plugin can be loaded at system startup on Cobra-Rogero CFW, giving you web/ftp without the need to manually load anything

To make the plugin load at system startup on Cobra7/Rogero firmware:

* Copy webftp_server.sprx to /dev_hdd0 (so its path will be /dev_hdd0/webftp_server.sprx)
* Create (or edit) [B]/dev_hdd0/boot_plugins.txt
