You need to use your twitter more! :P --IntelMiner 02:22, 30 March 2011 (CDT)

I'm not into all this internet social crap. I post things on my blog (http://www.defyboy.org) or announce them in #ps3dev --Admin 02:56, 31 March 2011 (CDT)

Oh, fair enough, I should probably join #ps3dev more often, too --IntelMiner 03:45, 31 March 2011 (CDT)

Defyboy, have you tried talking to Syscon via these points? -COK-001/002: http://goput.it/str/ftq.jpg -SEM-001: http://goput.it/str/txq.jpg

I have had some success with the Syscon UART I have not yet tried the southbridge, The JTAG doesn't respond. ----

Maybe time for some better rechapta or add a simple human question "what color are strawberries?" e.g. ;) Euss

There, simple capcha as obviously ReCapcha isn't working effectively anymore.

Proposal

make a category Storage with in it the pages

• Basic Bluray disc authentication procedure (BD-storage content/structure)
• Files on the PS3 (Dev_flash/harddrive content/structure)
• Flash (Flash content/structure)

then in each page the needed subsections just like done with the firmware pages (but instead of 1.00/1.02 etc the subsections

• firstregion
  • Header
  • Filetable
  • asecure
  • eEID
  • cISD
  • cCSD
  • trvk_prg
  • trv_pkg
  • creserved
  • ros
  • cvtrm
• second region
• CELL_EXTNOR_AREA
• Bootloader
• cell_ext_os_area

Simular can be done with harddrive, by splitting it into:

• dev_flash1
  • System folders (that are also replaced per FW install)
  • User folders
  • Other files
• dev_flash2
• dev_flash3
• FAT
• Other regions

etc.

Other storage devices: Syscon EEPROM, BD Flash, BT/Wifi Flash, Sixaxis/Dualshock3 Flash etc.

I see no good other way to split the pages to make them smaller and easy navigational Euss

Server error after changing host

http error 503 : User has reached the maximum amount of processes while being limited, Webmaster: please contact support. (9)

Euss

It's hostgator still, we haven't changed yet. I am sorting out some other issues with the new host. There was an unusually high volume of traffic yesterday so it should be fine for a while

Stop Wiki Spam

(already installed : http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:ConfirmEdit)
I want to give you a suggestion. change the Q&A question with something like "What is the abbreviation of 'Sony Entertainment Network' ?"; completely delete the question "This Wiki is devoted to which console?" because it's known that the bot knows the answer.

LocalSettings.php

line 160
file was not writeable for me

request Extensions

• http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Cite/Cite.php (proper sourcing of quotes)
• http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:ImageMap (very useable for mapping motherboards)

New sites - problems

• http://wiki.ps4dev.net

no errors making account anymore, only missing some extensions

Current bugs

• Imagick or related seems to have problems making thumbs @ RC-S380
• image upload fails many times with files <= 2MB
  • Internal error: Something went wrong with processing your upload on the wiki.
• call me old fashioned, but the old upload worked fine

Secret question change

while you take care of gitorious today, please change the secret question, since bots are ruining the recent changes page again, please :)

Wiki extensions problems (2022)

• It seems the ParserFunctions string support is not working, i realized about it when i was doing some experiments at the bottom of Template:Ps2configrev. As far i understand the string support is not enabled in a default installation, is required to add the line $wgPFEnableStringFunctions = true; in the webserver file LocalSettings.php, please enable it--Sandungas (talk) 16:38, 27 October 2022 (UTC)
  
• The SyntaxHighlight extension is broken since years ago, the only thing it does is to display the content as a <pre>. I was reading about it and i know it have many dependencies (pygments library, etc...) but at this point i think we can uninstall all them and reinstall the latest versions without much hassle because the extension is already completly broken--Sandungas (talk) 16:38, 27 October 2022 (UTC)
