The Clash of the Managers

**ICE** · 11-19-2010,01:05 PM

No really... I've searched all over the place, but I can't seem to differentiate one Manager from the other, so could someone please just explain the big PROs and CONs of most managers.
I mean Open Manager, Gaia Manager, Rogero's Filemanager.
I hear GAIA has auto-cover download, which is always nice, but then I hear OM is just the most convenient with its patching mode, etc.
And as some extra info I might add I'm using PL3 payloads.

Thanks

Just look at the original post on each of the BM release threads. They all describe the options they have, and if you open each tab side by side, you can compare them yourself. Also, most of the managers can be installed concurrently. Meaning, you can have all of them installed on your PS3 and they won't harm each other and you can decide for yourself which one you'd rather use.

Have to admit,I have been somewhat confused also.I have BM 1.1 and Gaia both installed.When I transfered my first game,it showed up in BM 1.1.Kind of wanted Gaia,but did not know how to select which one it goes to.

Have used only Open Manager 1.17.2 and Gaia Manager. Neither works with NBA 2k11. Both will recognize it, and both will kick me back to XMB. But after loading my blu-ray disc in, both will pop up NBA 2K11 on the GAME tab, but when hitting X, both will freeze at a black screen.

So, no diff imo.

sounds like your having a permissions problem try copying from internal to external or visa versa inside of the manager using copy function

I vote for multiman. Nothing can do everything as well.

It's all a matter of opinion I won't touch nothing but Gaia it's been nothing but perfect since day 1 and all my games still work....
