      I haven't installed it yet, but I just wanted to point out that in the base version the aldos tools versions are quite old. They are not the latest versions.

      the new file manager is going to take many a bit longer to get used to. I kinda of miss that it shows two panes when I first open it up. Now I have to press extra buttons on my controller to achieve at least that which is default in the previous versions.

      But I am a trooper, I will keep on learning..

      OK got a dumb question. What happened to the Display Lock Mode setting? I had it set to Top Media Bar before installing, now the option to turn the lock off is gone and I can't hit L1/R1 to switch display modes

      @BLord,

      Go to the Settings.. it's there. I have my default and locked on 4x2 and it did not change it when I updated. And if I disable the lock, I can use L1 and R1 to change layouts.

      longer than 4 seconds that's for sure! I think a good 30 seconds or more. I get a dark screen for a while, then finally the showtime GUI opens. I plan to reinstall the self to make sure it's not showtime that got corrupted.

      Still got nothing. I had originally installed the update through multiMAN's update setting while the full + all the covers/etc were downloading. Also installed the new lastgame from the full download here and it said I already had a newer version installed. Thought maybe it was just a bad PARAM.SFO entry so I deleted the old one and installed this one. I've got bugs on this end

      also just tried to FTP the base file over and I can't connect. My PS3 is online and I checked the IP address and everything but nada

      Showtime takes 4 seconds to start. Uninstalled old Muliman and installed 4.03 full pkg.

      I did not install the base version online, instead I used the one on the first post in this thread.

      I FTP'd a few minutes ago some pics I took today (testing a new digital camera I just purchased). I used the new multiman and flashfxp, so no problems on this end.

      I did not see the Full update folders, I am curious? Was there a new version for lastgame--there was nothing mentioned in the changelog above about them? I did notice that in the base version there were extra pkgs (lastgame and bdreset) only for those using Cobra, so I didn't even bother with those. Since I use TB, I am still using the old one that was updated a few months back to make it work for TB.

      But I need to point out that I did find old versions of aldos tools (I reported this earlier in this topic), so whoever packaged the base and perhaps the full version placed some old versions, perhaps the lastgame and bdreset was also an old version? worth checking it out?

      I could ftp with BlackBox (glad I kept it). Tried installing the base from the front page over top and it still didn't work. Ended up deleting multiMAN and reinstalling the FULL pkg. I looked at the system menu again and I only had about half of the options before but the lock was just the first one I noticed

      The files were named differently than from 4.02 as well for bdreset and lastgame. It's a very good possibility it was a bad pack and some old versions got put in

      I envy you.

      I plan on testing it again. I am so busy playing Tiger Woods PGA Tour 13--Been on it for hours!!
