EXCLUSIVE: andbey0nd releases 'rcp_bdemu' a faster way to manage games on DEX
More great 'scene' improvements today, for those using converted DEX consoles (or lucky enough to own legit ones), scene developer andbey0nd has released a little tiny utility that makes managing games on your DEX with BDEMU mode, much faster and quicker to switch games on your PS3.
Here is a separate standalone tool to serve the BDEMU communication on the PC side.
It is small, fast and command-line type and will be included in mmDM 02.01.00 by aldo.
It loads the BDEMU games in mM virtually at mM startup, mounts the games in 3-4 seconds
and displays debug information in the command window.
rcp_bdemu - Remote management of BDEMU partitions from mM 04.05.04+
===================================================================
Usage: rcp_bdemu.exe ps3_ip [bdemu_partitions]
rcp_bdemu.exe 192.168.1.5
rcp_bdemu.exe 192.168.1.7 10
* Default bdemu_partitions is 4 when not set
* Requires mM 04.05.04+ DEX, ProDG and LAN
* You can add TITLEID+TITLENAME for missing games in titleid.txt

01.00 - Initial Release
It requires that you pass the IP address of your PS3 as a parameter. You can pass a number
for the number of BDEMU partitions as second parameter - the default is 4 (0..3).

Also it seems developer 'aldostools' will include this improvement in his next version of 'mmDM', so stay tuned to PS3 Crunch for more DEX updates!
You DEX guys are releasing stuff faster than I can read it. I'm trying to read & gather as much information as possible about DEX before converting. I can't read fast enough! SLOOOOOOOOOOOOW DOWN guys! Aah! I'm just a slow reader actually. Your work is appreciated guys! I know all that you're providing will come in handy for me once converted. Thanks!

Here is the latest standalone version of rcp_bdemu. It now properly switches slots 6 to 10, but using these slots requires the PS3 to reboot (which is done automatically after slot is activated).
From the readme:
Code:
rcp_bdemu - Remote management of BDEMU partitions from mM 04.06.00+
===================================================================
Usage: rcp_bdemu.exe ps3_ip [bdemu_partitions]
rcp_bdemu.exe 192.168.1.5
rcp_bdemu.exe 192.168.1.7 10
* Default bdemu_partitions is 10 when not set
* Requires mM 04.06.00+ DEX, PC with ProDG installed and PS3 with wired LAN connection
* If you don't set input parameters (IP and number of partitions) rcp_bdemu will try to auto-detect them
(works only if PS3 is in "System Software Mode")

01.00 - Initial Release
02.00 - Fixed support for slots 6-10 (PS3 Restart is required)
If you don't set input parameters (IP and number of partitions) rcp_bdemu will try to auto-detect the IP and will assume 10 slots, but that only works if your PS3 is currently in "System Software Mode", otherwise you'll have to provide your PS3 IP address when you start rcp_bdemu.exe.
