Deank has also stated "Compatibility-wise it is better than "Standard" and "Hermes" " For 3.55/4.21DEX users mM will now supports split-games, better disc-less compatibility and will also allow loading of PS1 backups in BIN+CUE from internal / external. The new payload also allows for some tweaks and there is now a 80% chance games that didn't work disc-less now will.. For all the details of the new payload please check the official Release Quote below for mM v04.20.00 BASE.

multiMAN ver 04.20.00 BASE (20130220) is now available online.

NOTE: It is a BASE version, which means that it can be installed over ANY previous version and is also suitable for first-time users.

Changelog:

* Introducing the new mM payload which makes mM independent and easy to port for various firmwares
* Supports only 3.55 CEX/DEX, 4.21 CEX/DEX, 4.30 CEX, 4.31 CEX
* BD-ROM Emulator option in Settings can be set to "Enable / Disable" - no more "Hermes"/"Standard"
* Compatibility-wise it is better than "Standard" and "Hermes".
* This payload overwrites 252 bytes of strings in LV2 memory (and not 4000 bytes of code like other payloads), it doesn't use syscalls and doesn't rely on firmware functions, executes fast and improves performance

* Added option in settings "Redirect /app_home":
--- Disable (/app_home will not be mounted at all)
--- Enable (/app_home as used in previous versions - points to the game - for disc-less)
--- Toolbox (on Rogero firmwares with pre-installed toolbox if you play from discs only - it allows you to return to stealthMAN without restart)

* For 3.55DEX and 4.21DEX mM now supports split-games, adds better disc-less compatibility and also allows loading of PS1 backups in BIN+CUE format from internal/external.

* IMPROVED DISC-LESS COMPATIBILITY:

The new payload allows for some tweaks and there is 80% chance that games that didn't work disc-less will now work.

Can I run ps1 games from the external USB drive now? Or do I still have to burn the disk?

Im still stuck here trying to get MM to play ps1 games, I have a bin/cue file on a usb flash drive in a folder named the same as the game, and one on a usb extrernal that also includes my PS3 backups. I start up MM, click right twice to Retro, navigate to my usb drive and nothing shows up to run. The usb stick says no psx backup present. I have a roms folder, when I navigate to there, no games are listed.

What am I doing wrong?

Make a folder named PSXISO throw your ps1 games in that folder, hit refresh in multiman and they should be chillin there in the retro collum.

And that folder can contain bin, cue or iso files or must they all be iso files?

Yeah bin or iso, doesn't matter.. Not sure what cue files are for, I just toss those out.

music support. it tells whatever is reading the files where things are located like music tracks.

i think just about every image file is supported, i haven't come across one that hasn't worked yet. then again, i'm not exactly looking for obscure playstation image files.

Thanks pal, got that sorted, all PSX games working fine. How do I get the Sega / SNES / mame roms to show now? I have them all in a ROMS folder on the external usb drive.

Yup...Just throw em all in the ROMS folder.. Then click usb under the retro column. You have to install the latest retroarch too for them to show... You'll find it here http://store.brewology.com/whatsnew.php?lang=

If you toss those out you lose the playback of music tracks from all mode 2 PS1 games. Which is pretty much most of them. Dont toss them out.

Oh, So what would that do.. cut out sound? Idk the only ps1 games I really play are Pepsi Man and Crash Warped.. They seem to sound just fine.

For best compatibility you need BIN+CUE or ISO+CUE. Cue files are text files which describe the physical layout of the 'disc'. If you use only ISO or only BIN then don't complain.

Also for other emulator types - read the options_default.ini - it is all explained there. You can't just put ALL roms in the "ROMS" folder. They must be in specific subfolders.

Does it matter what the sub folders are called? ROMS/SNES, ROMS/GENESIS, ROM/MAME etc?

Speaking of this, is it possible to make it so when Retroarch looks at a folder full of BIN/CUE files for Sega CD games, it doesn't list them all twice? You need to have both for the music to work in Sega CD, but Retroarch searches for both BIN and CUE as if they are separate roms, which is dumb, because you need to choose the BIN file to play the game. Choosing a CUE file in Retroarch crashes it.

Any chance you can make Multiman filter out the redundant CUE files from Retroarch listings in Multiman?

Bug Report

Using multiMAN 04.20.00 and Split4G.

When splitting files in filename.#.part multiMAN don't recognise the games being split even if they are.
But when using filename *.666## instead it works.

Tested on Uncharted 3, Killzone 1-2 & 3 (Triology)
God Of War Collection and so on.

mM doesn't support segaCD bin+cue as a ROM type - it only supports it for the PS1 emulation. The listing in RetroArch must be fixed by its developers.
