In my opinion, Kmeaw is still the BEST!. All these new CFW's coming out and they still don't really do what the majority of jailbreakers expect them to do, (which is to play the latest games and to be able to have PSN access), so why bother upgrading from Kmeaw? If it's movies you like to watch, why not connect your pc to your 50" tv and use VLC media player to play all your media files, xlink & Kai have been around for years trying to give us online gaming, I understand the spoof 3.70 concept, but why not just disable the internet connection option on the ps3? After all you cant play online so why is it connected to the net? I am 100% grateful for what the DEV's have done for the scene. But I really can't see the point of all these CFW's if they kind of all do the same thing. I believe that given time we will be able to play the latest games on our CFW but doubt we will ever have PSN access. I can see the point of continually bringing news stories to the site in an attempt to make out that the scene isn't dieing, but without the ability to play the latest games then you may as well say it's dieing. I am still on Kmeaw 3.55 and still visit the site regularly for the news stories, but can't be bothered to read them now as it's all news I've heard before with frilly bits added that actually do nothing to help the end user. I suggest only reporting on the big news and leave all this trivial news stories to the lesser sites. And I still believe this is a great site so please don't take this the wrong way. Just cut down on all the bull crap CFW's that want to take kmeaw's No1 spot without offering nothing substantial ...... PEACE!
      some people like choices

      That's because you need to install BDEMU2 so MM can work correctly. Not trying to sound like an MM fanboy, but you ought to know that MM happens to be one of the most powerful managers out there. Here is the link in order for you to get BDEMU2 http://psx-scene.com/forums/downloads.php?do=file&id=38

      In the kmeaw 3.55 tutorial you are instructed to install LV2 in order to make Gaia or other managers work with 3.55. But with MM, you need BDEMU2. This is perhaps why Rogero is working and MM isn't working for you. You need to install BDEMU2 so MM has the payload it requires to work as it should. Plus you may need to run a game fix for each game you have in MM, since you had 3.41 before. Doesn't hurt to ask, but it does sting when you blame the wrong reason why it's not working.

      Any more MM issues please start a new thread in the MM section or if it's related to another issue, then just ask, before you diss the apps and it's devs. Knowledge is the key you are missing right now.

      I believe it is a combination of,
      members wanting to find out more,
      about Custom FW, Modified FW,
      and creating your own FW using PS3MFW.


      Or they are all asking about bitsbubba's cinavia file uploads, or his Pre-Patched Lv2 for BR Region Changing

      BTW: If you view this article from the front page, it is only 6 pages to read through, not 106. I know that if you view this topic from the forums, there are probably many more

      This will not work with German PS3s, the menu categories are completely mixed.

      really as far as I was aware the XMB was the same throughout regions, guess I need to install REBUG and switch throughout regions to see the differences
