  • multiMAN 2.00.01 Released - Multiple Fixes + Support for Split Files

    Dean, the author of multiMAN, has been very busy improving his game manager. He brings us his latest release, v2.00.01, which includes numerous improvements. There are far too many fixes to list, but trust us when we say you'll definitely want to update. The new release also brings us "support for playing games with split big files from USB HDD (up to 10 BIG 4+GB files supported)".

      The only other split games I have are BlazBlue Continuum Shift, Resonance of Fate, and Vanquish. So we'll see how that goes.
      Did you get any of your games to work i have SWTF Unleashed Sith Ed. and Darksiders and neither worked just the black screen and had to hard reset my ps3.

Not many if at all and the ones that can run the risk of getting banned every time they go online. Single player (sat at home alone, no online) is a thing of the past, that's why people keep buying a 2nd,3rd,4th and in my case 5th console, as jailbreaking/flashing leads you into a false sense of security, that your gonna end up with the ultimate gaming machine after doing these exploits! Well you don't! in most scenarios you get left behind in the times whilst everyone else is enjoying the real experience of online gaming. The real value of cfw would be to have the best of both worlds on one console, but in reality cfw&ofw on the one console that can play online and home brew ain't never ever ever gonna happen, so in the case of all ps3 owners on cfw3.55 who can't afford another console for online play, I suggest upgrade to 3.61 and enjoy the experience of online gaming, cuz that's why you purchased it, and for those who can afford 2x games consoles ......... Enjoy the best of both worlds
      Online gaming is the way to go? Lol. So, out of ALL the generations we haven't had online gaming, this one makes it special and so worth it? Is it a comfort knowing someone is being just as lazy on the other end of the connection playing Black Ops? Lol. It's not the important. We've survived almost 2 or 3 decades without internet, I think we can survive. I just think that you've never really modded anything, or you'd know that internet was something that would have been taken away easily. You got yourself into the mess. Some people, like myself, can live without online. Why? Because I actually have a life with people. Online is a luxury, not a necessity.

      Maravilloso Dean its a good solution to NTFS , i can confirm that it works , test Final Fantasy XIII with the BDEMU2 link posted on this thread and using HERMES option on multiman settings on payload emulator , multiman only install the splitted file on internal HDD , thats all .

      Hands down, Kmeaw is going to be the clear winner for CFW.
      Geohot can be done...........but..........you have to jump through some hoops in order to play backups with it.
      Kmeaw is a pretty simple install.

      To summarize:
      Once the install of Kmeaw is complete, install Multiman 2.00.01 then instal the BDEMU.pkg and start playing backups.

      That is the best combination to go with at the moment and you will get the best help available if you run into any problems.

      I wont be a **** like many other ones will be on here... No you cannot play backups on 3.56 and over you have to be on 3.55- to install a custom firmware. And no there isn't a downgrade available if you were wondering... Please do research before you ask
