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.

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

Let me know how it goes.

Many thanks Deank! It's working flawlessly now! Congrats for the excellent work!

Hi Deank and thank you so much for your efforts

just wonder one thing in many forums i saw some users complaining that most of the games

are not running anymore from external HDD , copying them to the internal HDD will make them work .

But imagine what internal hdd you need if you have to copy almost all the games .

I also can confirmed this issue as only 3 games out of 9 ran from external disks yesterday when i tested

i forgot to say i'm running rogero 4.30 V1 .

i saw some of your advises stating you need to hook your disk to the extreme right USB port etc i will give a try and post the results here .

Thank you again

Yes, you can create as many 'lastgames' as you wish. The app looks in its folder for the file generated by mM (lastgame.bin or something) which points to the path of the game to be mounted. You'll have to create valid PKG install files for each copy with the new id.

You have two options:

1) Start the PS3 with NO USB DEVICES connected and once it starts connect your usb hdd to any port you wish
2) Start the PS3 ONLY with the game usb hdd connected to the rightmost port

Both should work.

Hello

The first option worked like a charm . ( i never had those kind of problems with my older PS3 )
In fact it seems like it's a very well known issue from your side i will spread the good news on the other forums as some
users were experiencing the same issues .

Thanks a lot .

i think my usb ports are just dying. even on 3.55 recently, when i would unplug something and plug something else in, the other port would seem to stop. so, if i had a game loaded, unplugged a charging controller and then plugged in my camera, when i'd go to load the game, it'd black screen. it'd even sometimes make my hard drive work real slow.

it works fine a lot though, too which is good. like, i just turned on my ps3 with a hd in the left slot and loaded a game from last game and it's fine. sometimes though, i do have to un/replug in the drive when i first go into multiman for it to read it.

Maybe the problem lies on the cable it self. I use this cable with my external HD one usb port uses to power it the other to transfer data so you gain more speed on reading/writing data!

When I need to charge my controller I conect it to my usb computer port! Since the pc is near the ps3. I wouldnt suggest to use any usb hubs or splitters! Also verify how much items you have plugged on your outlet! Some devices may be sucking more power!! Try plugging your ps3 on a single outlet away from the one you use to plug your tv etc!

Great as always. But I found out that game caching (for splitted files on external HDD) no longer works... or am I missing something? Has anything changed, or any option that needs to be set? (I was on mm 3.x and just installed 4.10...)

This multiman is great it works great with rebugs 4.21 perfectly i only found one game nfs most wanted didnt work so i used the 3.55 fix since all my other patched games worked and guess what it worked.

In "Settings" set "BD Emulator" to "Hermes", reboot your PS3 and try again.

So are these recent MM updates only for the newer firmwares? I've tried both 04.09.00 and 04.10.00 and neither of these will load my PSX discs (on my 3.55 kmeaw). I'm always going back to 04.06.00 to get them to work.

hi dean im on 4.10. i have successfully updated to rebug after briefly using rogero 4.21 as well as being a long time kmeaw 3.55 user.

I had been one of those guys getting black screens, errors, and kicked back to xmb after game launch. i thought nothing would work for me!

so what i've now learned after a painful period of trial and error, is that i can no longer keep both of my usb hard drives plugged in at the same time. on kmeaw, i previously had both hard drives connected through a powered hub, and the hub was plugged into the right most usb port.. on kmeaw i could run games from one or the other drive interchangeably and kept them both plugged in all the time

NOW i have to start the ps3 with ONLY one OR the other plugged in. this is right from a full power off. have to boot with only one or the other. when doing this games work great, i think every single game on either drive works BUT i just have to make sure that the correct drive is plugged in ie the one with the game i want to play

this is a pretty small price to pay to have most of the games working, but wondering if anyone has any suggestions on how to have both drives connected and working at the same time? as well i wanted to post this on the off chance it could help others

lastly, if you have more than one usb drive connected and your setup is working great, could you please reply with your config? ie how are the drives connected, one in each port, using a hub, if so which port, etc

@Grither, have you checked the changelog in the PS3 firmware updates to understand if perhaps Sony did something there? Just wondering. Maybe between 3.55 and 4.21, perhaps Sony made a lot of changes. Here is a good source: PlayStation 3 system software - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I hope you get your problem sorted out. I am still on Kmeaw and haven't jumped yet to test the waters on a higher CFW. I will be closely watching your post to see if it gets a response. Since I also have multiple USB HDDs on a hub always connected to my PS3.

PSX disc backups should work just like they did before.

Dean, thanks for your reply, but it already has those settings like that (just confirmed).

I'm experiencing it with Okami HD Japanese version - BLJM60467. It has a huge pkg file of about 7GB. I copied the disc structure as normally, to external USB HD on GAMEZ folder (where I have all the backups for historical reasons, never had problems in Multiman) using PS3 File Splitter on the PC. If I do "Test" in multiman it detects 3 split files, 1 big file, but when I select it to be mounted, MM doesn't cache the pkg file.

I tried copying it to internal using MMos and it joined the file, and then if I mount it with MM from the internal HD, the pkg file appears inside the disc on XMB and installs successfully.

Maybe this disc isn't very normal because it has a PKG file and not exactly a normal eboot, and thus MM doesn't cache it? Just guessing here, but it's strange.

I'm on Rogero CEX 4.30 1.3 if that helps.

Best regards and keep up the excelent work.

Since I came back to Kmeaw, I tried it, but it would not launch the PSX disc from my tray. So I had to use "ONE" app from my XMB. Can you tell me what I need to check to see if I can make it work in multiMAN 04.09.00?

Hi Dean, i am grateful for your awesome manager, i've been using it right from the start!

is it a known issue with current firmwares/multiman that you CAN'T have two external drives connected at the same time? i don't mind if that's the case, but if it is a known issue i'll stop blowing my brains out trying to get it working!

I used to have my two externals working together on 3.55 kmeaw but since upgrading, i can't get any game on either drive to work unless i have ONLY one drive plugged in. any thoughts?
