Deank has once again released an update for multiMAN. This wonderful piece of homebrew is now sitting at version 02.08.00. Highlighted features are support for launching PSX games from CD-R discs in the XMMB Game column and also in other display modes. Assign memory cards better and options for video to be set to 480/576/720/1080 for PAL & NTSC.

Added: Advanced option in XMMB Settings: "Expand Contents of XMMB media columns"
Added: SD/SDHC, CF and MS/MSPRO devices to Photo/Music/Video columns
Added: Standalone Web-Browser application with FTP (BROWSER.SELF) to avoid all memory issues
Added: Support for launching PSX games from CD-R discs (XMMB Game Column and other display modes)
Added: Launching directly ps1_emu.self or ps1_netemu.self from file manager will make multiMAN assign your Memory Cards properly, too

I have not tested any psx backups yet. Does multiMAN automatically choose between ps1_emu.self & ps1_netemu.self or does multiMAN prompt you to choose between the two methods of launching a game? (since some games use one or the other in order to launch) or WIP?

Actually there is a 02.08.01 update which brings more compatibility to PSX titles and fixes the problem when some games are not detected.

[multiMAN v02.08.01 release notes]
[Download]

multiMAN v02.08.01 New tests results:

- Final Fantasy VII [NTSC / US] - Detected / Run OK
- Final Fantasy VIII [NTSC / US] - Detected / Run OK
- Capcom vs SNK 2000 PRO [NTSC / US] - Detected / Run OK
- Castlevania: Symphony of the Night [NTSC / US] - Detected / Run OK
- The King of Fighters '99 [NTSC / JAPAN] - Detected / Run OK

All these disc are burn at 4x using very cheap discs (Maxell / Memorex), I made sure they were proper dumps, bad dumps could have different results and not work at all, so verify your disc images before burning, I've been using Alcohol 120% to burn them, but ImgBurn should be ok as well.

There is no need to use Disc Swap or Breaker Pro now .

In my personal experience my PS3 is not presenting any weird sounds while reading the backup discs, if you experience this, then make sure you are burning your disc well, look for information online on how to burn PS1 disc correctly, there are many guides online. Make sure as well that the disc image you're using has been flagged as a good dump, making dumps from scratched discs will definitely cause trouble.

Thanks to Dean for this great release!

SeeYa!

Hey, this is awesome!Great job deank.
Somebody knows if XA audio games are working properly?
Games like Megaman X4 are starting with no music sounds, just effects.

Deank there is something you should know if you dont already theres a bit of a bug for the psx games ive been playing some of my psx backups and they play great but when you press the playstation button on the pad you get the ingame menu come up asking you to quit multiman aswell as the psx menu that comes up so you might want to take a look at that. and if anyone knows deank please let him know about this incase he doesnt get to read this its nothing major but its something, also the psx saves work but when i goto the memory cards on the main xmb it says there both empty is that supposed to be like that if so how do i backup the saves.

Great release indeed, it works great on my Fat 80GB w/ Rebug 3.55.2 CFW. Thank you, Deank. However it seems impossible to boot PS1 backups on Waninkoko v2 CFW (on my Slim) this way. I always get black screen, full freezeup. Has anyone successfully booted up a PS1 backup this way on Waninkoko v2? If so then tell me how please. Thanks in advance.

There is nothing wrong with Multiman in this instance, please check that you have a proper backup and that you burned it properly. (I'm playing Megaman X4 right now it does have music.)

Tested it...

MegaMan X4 [SLUS-00561] - Detected / Runs OK / SFX + BGM OK

Make sure you get a proper dump of the disc image [should be around 564MB]. Then burn using the CUE file with ImgBurn at 4x (600KB) speed.

SeeYa!

x4? That is a hell of a lot slower than the max of x54. Infact, I don't have any problems coping at x54. I can understand copying at a slower speed, but doing so at less than 10% of the max speed is a bit extreme.

Burn Final Fantasy VIII at high speed rate and try to watch the intro video when you select 'New Game'
. If it works for you then surprise! you're just hell of a lucky guy!

By recommending to burn at the lowest speed possible I'm giving you almost 100% probability that the burning will be done correctly. If you don't want to believe the fact, then just look for more info online, and you will understand why.

Besides, what the hell do I gain by recommending people to burn at low speed?, if everyone want to burn at 9999x rate, fantastic! go on!

PS: My statements are not based on assumption, are based on facts.

SeeYa!

Hey, can i ask you something? i used to burn the games for ps2, wii and psx at x4 speed because under that (x2, x1 etc) my games didn't work. What happened there? why if you say that less speed is better, my games didn't orked at lower speed?
