  • multiMAN 04.13.00 & A Handy Install PKG Tool Released

    PlayStation 3 developer Deank is back with another update to multiMAN. In this update you get a proper working Hermes payload for those running Rogero's CFW 4.30 CEX v2.00. That's going to fix 4GB+ split files stored on external drives. Also included is a handy application, suitable for all custom firmware, called Install Package Files. This tool is great for those who did not like the idea of the removal of install package files on Rogero's latest firmware.


    Changelog multiMAN 04.13.00 CEX BASE:
    Also online is mM 04.13.00 with a fix for Hermes payload for Rogero 4.30CFW v2:

    • Fixed issue with Hermes payload on 4.30CEX Rogero ver 2.00
      • 4+GB split files caching from USB and "Ext. Game Data" game option now work
    • Added standalone application "* Install Package Files"
      • RELOAD.SELF from the application can be used in other homebrew tools to install PKG files via the bubble-method
      • Install Package Files app works on all firmwares

    stDISC and gameDATA apps will be available later for Rogero 4.30CFW v2.

    About Install Package Files.pkg:
    This is a small handy tool for installing PKG files via the "bubble"/PSN method. It may be handy for Rogero 4.30CFW ver. 2.00 users. Rogero is preparing a firmware version which will have it 'build-in' in /dev_flash so you won't need multiMAN and you can't break/delete it, since it will appear in [/app_home] when you boot the PS3 and will come preinstalled.

    It comes with background running FTP server and /dev_blind mounted (for write access to /dev_flash).

      I still don't understand why it was taken out. Does the firmware appear now really like the OFW??? And what is this "cinivia"? Is that a copy protection like SafeDisc or SecuROM, but for blueray movies? I will update now to v2, after it didn't update straight from v1.04 to v2 yesterday...

      @EzioAuditore Base is the only release so far. (via PS3 update and added to psx-scene for others who don't have their PS3's with internet) Full version includes other files, but base is good enough to update.

      @Everyone complaining about the removal of the standard package install that we have become used to. Rogero removed it to make the GameOS look original. Perhaps the goal might be to make CFW 4.xx look like OFW so Sony wont detect CFW. A big reach that does not seem plausible at the moment, but maybe.

      I dont know why everyone praises rogero so much i mean sure he came out with the first 4.xx cfw but it did brick many consoles. & his releases still have bugs in them & than he removed pkg installer im sorry but that just makes me even more disgusted with it.
      I will stick with rebug 4.21 rex it has been perfect for me in everyway there were maybe 2 games i still had to patch but ever since multiman version right before this one even fixed those 2.

      i just dont understand why on other foroums people are suggesting everyone to move from rebug 4.21 to rogero & to that i say why?

      anyway thanks dean for your great releases it seems now all my games work even the newest out so thank you.

      @free47 You killing me. With Rogero 4.30 v2 you can install PKG files fine. No problem, except you have to do so within multiMAN. But with Deank's Package Installer app you can via XMB.

      EDIT: @ jac72 LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL

      Okay, on Rogero 4.30 v2, so when I go to install 4.13 through 4.12, it asks if I want to exit to XMB. No makes it do nothing, and Yes makes it go to the XMB and does nothing. What do I need to do to update?

      Don't update unless you have a method of getting into factory service mode (e3 card reader will work) or a hardware flasher. I Almost always brick after a downgrade while trying to go to the latest firmware (after the preparing to update screen, Blue screen) Just proceed at your own risk.

      Wow, just tried to download the update.. Time remaining - 212:30. I saw someone else having downloading issues the other day. I know once it took me 15 minutes to download an update, but this is far beyond that.. What could be causing this issue?

      if only deank could figure out ps3usercheat so he can use it in his homebrew. i'm certain more players will start it. as long as they don't attempt to use it on psn.
