Deank has updated multiMAN to version 04.10.00. This is a great update for anyone with a broken Blu-Ray drive user can now use 4.21 REX in DEX mode with fake BDEMU stick/image for 100% game compatibility (must have a working logic board and married to the PS3). There has also been full support added for 4.21 REX (REBUG) firmware, among many more features you find below in this massive update by deank.

Changelog:

04.10.00

* Added full support for 4.21REX (REBUG) firmware
* Added support for 4.21REX in DEX full mode (DEX flash + DEX lv2 kernel)
* Added support for PS1 disc backups for 4.21REX CFW in DEX/DEX mode
* Added support for direct-disc-access for 4.21REX CFW in DEX/DEX mode (data CD/DVD/BD discs)
* Added support for flashing 256MB NAND *.EID0.NANDBIN backups
* Users with broken BD drives can use 4.21REX in DEX mode with fake BDEMU stick/image for 100% game compatibility

IMPORTANT NOTE: If you're using DEX mode in 4.21REX, use this CEX version of mM (do not install the reguar DEX mM which is only for official dex firmwares).

===============================

This package also includes:

* Rebug Toolbox 02.00.00
* c2d + openssl
* DUMMY_BDEMU.rar

===============================

About DUMMY_BDEMU:

It is to help users with broken BD-ROM drives (which have a working logic board and married to the PS3). A lot of games have issues when started from /app_home or using "Direct Boot", that's why this is the BEST solution for such users. You will have to be on 4.21CFW REBUG (REX) with DEX Target ID flash and DEX LV2 Kernel (full DEX MODE).

Here is the readme:

If you do not want to waste a whole USB HDD you can use a
small 512MB USB STICK to emulate your broken BD-ROM.

Needed:
* PC and PS3
* USB stick/drive (512MB minimum size)
* Disc Image Generator Software (ps3gen)
* PLAYSTATION3.iso Dummy BDEMU image
* 4.21CFW REBUG (REX) operating in DEX mode with DEX lv2_kernel (FULL DEX MODE)

* Connect a USB HDD to be used for BDEMU
* Start "Disc Image Generator for Playstation3" (ps3gen)
* Click "Show" button in the top right-hand corner
* Click "Select File..." button
* Locate and select "PLAYSTATION3.iso" provided in this archive
* Click "Save / Emu ..." button
* Select "Write Image to BD Emulator HDD"
* Select your BDEMU USB HDD
* Pick a slot from the list and click "Write Image"

=====

On your PS3 with 4.21REX CFW and multiMAN 04.10.00 installed:

* Install "Rebug Toolbox 02.00.00" and launch it
* In SELECTOR: REBUG MODE / DEBUG XMB / DEBUG MENU
* In DEX/CEX: Flash your DEX EID0 NOR/NAND file (DEX-FLASH.EID0.NORBIN or DEX-FLASH.EID0.NANDBIN file on /dev_usb000 stick)
* Quit Toolbox and reboot your PS3
* In XMB "Settings" go to "Debug Settings" and set "Blu-ray Disc Access" option to "BD Emulator (USB)"
* Turn off your PS3
* Connect the BDEMU USB HDD drive/stick to the right-most port (/dev_usb000) - the port closest to the BD-ROM drive
* Turn on your PS3

* You should see "PLAYSTATION(R)3" Game Disc mounted in XMB Game column
* Start multiMAN 04.10.00+, load a game from internal HDD or external USB HDD connected to another port. Do not unplug the BDEMU USB drive.

* Start your game from the Disc Icon in XMB.

Done.

Hi Dean I created the PLAYSTATION3.iso image on my 2GB as well as on my 8 GB stick. When Entering into MultiMan, it boots right out of multiman. This only happens when the Blu-ray disc Access has been changed to: BD Emulator (USB).

Can somebody tell me, please: What's the best 4.xx Custom Firmware for those wanting to play ps3 games? I've been seeing so many releases that i'm starting to get a little confused to choose one.

Safest is any 3.55 cfw, then Rebug 4.21 cfw, then Rogero 4.21 cfw. Don't go above 4.21 for now.

Oh, Ok. Thank you, K@InEvIL. So you're saying that CFW 4.xx Rogero is the one with the best PS3 games compatibility? Do they work as perfect as they do with CFW 3.55? Can i play all the new games without the need of eboot fixes?

No there seems to be issues there also, as with when we first got 3.55 CFW, but with time I'm sure we'll all figure it out

CEX2DEX (Gunner 54) is working though, but I'm not sure if DEX file created is trustworthy. Got eid root key with eEID RKDumper (by flatz). Any ideas?

I did some further investigation with the created DEX NOR (with CEX2DEX from Gunner 54) and I found out that my PS3 is not from Japan, but from Hong Kong. I tried to use the c2d (from Deank) to revert it back from DEX to the original CEX NOR and it worked! But the only Target ID option that gave me the same MD5 was 8E (Hong Kong). So it seems that c2d is able to generate NORs with Target ID 8E (Hong Kong) but is not able to accept it as input, because the same file that was generated by it is treated as 'not valid' when on input side. Can someone please try to convert a NOR Target ID to 8E than try to revert it to the original Target ID with c2d and post results?

Update: I took the chance and changed Target ID in Rebug Toolbox. It's now on DEX/DEX. So current c2d seems to be incompatible with PS3's on Target ID 8E (Hong Kong). Use CEX2DEX from Gunner 54 instead.

Thanks DeanK for MMan and the rest. I'm going to hit that donate button -- been meaning to -- lets all pitch in a little cash !

Yes you can use it with working bd-rom drive - that's how i tested it.

@Deank- i have been experiencing slowdowns/freezes after i delete a game from internal hdd. Forcifully i have to quit mM everytime after that. This has been happening ever since i upgraded to rogero 4.30. Already updated to mM 4.10 version . Still facing this issue. Other than that everything is ok. Can you please sort this out?

When mM deletes a game from internal hdd it all goes into the PS3's hands... Sometimes you can see the HDD indicator flashing for another 30-40 seconds until the PS3 actually finishes its 'background job' - it's always been that way on all frimwares since the first Jailbreak. The issue manifests itself when the internal hdd is really full and it seems the PS3 tries to re-organize/defragment something in the background.

Samething here. I've managed to create the usb disk and it seems to be working properly (It shows "This is a dummy Blu-ray Disk application to aid support for broken ..." when run), but unfortunately multiman 4.10 CEX stopped working. When I try to run multiman it gives me Game Quit: No Request Event error. Rebug Toolboox is set to DEX/DEX "PS3 System Firmware 4.21 DEX", System Mode REBUG, XMB Debug, Debug Menu Type Debug. XMB Debug Settings Blu-ray Disc Access set to BD Emulator (USB). Tried both Equiv to BD Drive and HDD Native in Transfer Rate Pacing. Also tried to run multiman with and without the usb stick, but still no good. Even tried to delete and install multiman again. Other apps are working fine in DEX/DEX (Showtime, Rebug Toolbox). Any suggestions?

Are you sure you have the proper (fixed) mM version?

multiMAN ver 04.10.00 BASE CEX (20121104).rar (26.42MB)
Download multiMAN ver 04.10.00 BASE CEX (20121104).rar from Sendspace.com - send big files the easy way

The one from 20121103 had the issue you report and it was fixed.

Let me know how it goes.

Hi, great software. I have question..will this dummy_bd image emulator will be available also for rogero 4.21.1 or 4.30 CFW, or it will be available just for rebug CFW?

I agree with what you said + I feel the same way about psp support, I figure if cobra can implement the psp support into their dongle then it can be done. I know the game compatibility is low but after it becomes available to play psp games without that stupid dongle, people will find ways for games to work better.
