  • multiMAN v1.16.05 - New Options, Legend, & Speed Optimization

    MultiMAN author, Dean, has updated his popular manager to v1.16.05. The new version brings us a few new options, parental controls, and speed optimization. The parental controls seem like an odd addition. However, if you have children and violence concerns you (while piracy doesn't), then this options for you.

      with this release when you launch a game it doesnt show up the warning it used to show : "Do you like to run this game directly without going back to the XMB." Now it just goes back to the XMB no warning. Is this a problem or is it normal ???
