MultiMAN 1.14.00 - Syscall36 - No More Lv2 Patch

Deanrr has brought us a very important new feature to his popular multiMAN application. Today, marked by the release of 1.14.00, is the end of using the LV2 patch to run multiMAN. Dean has now implemented a stable syscall36 function. That's right, just click on multiMAN and play! Other great additions to this great app is the ability to download updates without the use of a USB stick, a new Update/Cover download server, and a new format to options.ini. This is definantly a much, much needed version of multiman - so go on - Get It Now! Thanks Dean!

This requires you to have a Blu-ray Disk in the drive at all times!

* multiMAN v1.14.0 is a stand-alone install no prior installs reguired. If you have never installed multiMAN, use the Mega Pack to get all the extra's (covers & themes) installed, otherwise use the base package.

* multiMAN v1.14.0 should not require you to run Lv2 v/any! Do not run before multiman! You should only need Lv2 for Fix Permissions. I would restart the system after running Lv2.

* Delete prior install before installing.

WOW! I made first!

Anyway, great to see this update. I thought removing the lv2 stuff from 1.13.01-.04 was a step back. Great to see it again! Keep up the great work!

So how do I change a theme ? I click themes, wii black......i see some files changed color, but I go back to the GAMES tab and no theme changed.......still w/ the original. ALSO: how do I stop the background music? TIA

Another thing, I backed up Modern warfare but the server gave me the cover from MW2.......how do I manually change covers/pics so they can properly show when browsing my games? good manager.....keep it up.......

I don't think there's a way to shut off the music yet. As far as the cover goes, there's nothing you can do. The cover is coming from their server so that's a mess up on their end. You'll just have to wait till they fix that or implement an option where you can upload your own cover.

MultiMAN is an excellent backup-manager, but there are still two major additions to MultiMAN’s functionality which are needed (in my opinion). First, is the ability to run backup PS3 games without a BluRay disc loaded in the optical drive, and second the ability to load PSX and PS2 titles from the internal hard drive. Given the nature of the PS3 CFW scene, and the frequent updates to this program, hopefully such functionality will soon be implemented into MultiMAN.

This isn’t in anyway a complaint about MultiMAN; to my knowledge no backup manager can fully do these things yet. Who knows, perhaps MultiMAN will be the first.

Honestly, I don't think its that big of a deal to keep a disc in the drive. I'm eventually trading all of my discs, except Castlevania: LoS. Reason being is its the special edition and I want to keep it all together, so keeping the LoS disc in won't be an issue for me. Just keep your favorite game.

For PS2/PSX emulator capability, a dedicated emulator would be needed. MultiMAN alone is not enough.

#1 - I believe you can go into multiman via ftp and either remove the mp3 or music file and it wont play, or ftp in your own - make sure extension name is the same (.mp3 or whatever it is)

#2 - You can add your own covers if there is one you like better then the other. The cover has to be the same image size (pixels not file size), so ftp one back to your desktop, look at its properties/details, make your own, rename it to the exact file name and format of the one you are replacing + it has to be all in CAPS, ftp it back in! Be aware that when you delete multiman to install a newer version, you have to replace the file again. I don't believe that is the case when you install over it though.

*SIDE NOTE* If anyone's got AC I working on 3.55CFW Gaia/Multiman PM me! Thanks

This is great...

But have to use a disc in the drive is really a bad thing in my opinion.
First because some people have their bd-player broked, some just prefer to not use the disc to "economize" the bd-player (like me). And I dont know... I dont like so much the idea to have a disc all the time in the driver, BUT I think its not a big problem to just put the disc before use multiman.

If it can be a solution to remove ALL the freezing problems (except for the cases of uncompatible games) so I think it is really a good news... but if even with this, I keep having lockup issues, so I dont think its a big deal.

Ill give it a try... and I hope to nove have any kind of issues. Also I hope to this one be updated with a version that do not ask a disc in the drive.

well ive tried pretty much everything but I am still getting the resident payload error. Any help guys? i have no clue what i am dooing wrong. thanks in advance, sorry for the hassle. I am running geohots 3.55 cfw. shoul i just update to a different cfw? I ripped blackops from my disk, but it wont load on 1.13.0. that was the only version that did not give me the resident payload error. games still wont load anyway. I havent patched lv2 yet, could that be the problem?

Cheers

Draco

The disk drive issue stems from broken drives - right! So what we need is a way to re-marry a new Blu-ray drive controller board ($20) w/o having to do a BGA chip swap to a new board. Sony can do this right now via software on a pc called Objective Suites. So either we need to recover this program in its entirety or design our own software to do so. It can be done!

Recon this doesn't fix anyone's broken drive problems right now, but would be very helpful to all of you who want a working Blu-ray Drive. Then multiMAN having a disk requirement wouldn't be a issue.

Well... I got a freezing using it anyway ! =/
The first time I loaded the game it was fine. So I get ou the game and loaded again the MultiMan, it didnt loaded (blackscreen), I had to press power button at about 20seconds to turn PS3 off... this is not good.

I didnt turned my PS3 off after the installation of the new Multiman and before test the first game. MAYBE was that the problem... but I dont know... ill gve it a chance and continue using it. But if continue getting more and more lockup issues, I really dont know what I will do... this is boring and dangerous to the PS3. =///

To everyone stuck with a corrupt data icon, Boot in to safe mode then click restore file system. It will say your drive is corrupt just click ok (you won't lose any data) then once it finishes the corrupt data will still be there but you will now be able to delete it.

You have to edit option.ini before install. Just enable payload by putting a '1'.
Read readme for more instructions
