multiMAN - multifunctional tool for your PS3 (Game manager/File manager/FTP/AVCHD/BDMV)

[deank]

Here it is again for those of you who requested it:

********************

Here I'll attach a WIP for what I posted earlier:

* multiMAN updated version to support special case of [R3] shadow copy
* ebootFIX PC application

There is a readme for ebootFIX application.

****

Step 1: Drag & Drop a GAME folder to ebootFIX.exe (I'd suggest to drag&drop PS3_GAME folder)
Step 2: If everthing goes well you'll get two PKG files + instructions TXT:

For example:

1) Drag&drop: F:\GAMES\BLES00682-NFS_Shift\PS3_GAME
2) You get 3 files in multiMAN_eboot_pkg folder:

* PS3PKG-BLES00682_00-NEEDFORSPEEDSHIF.pkg
* PS3PKG-BLES00682_00-NEEDFORSPEEDSHIF_355.pkg
* PS3PKG-BLES00682_00-NEEDFORSPEEDSHIF.txt

The last one is instructions how to proceed:

For example:

Steps:
========================================================================================
!) Delete all GAME DATA you may have on you PS3 system for "Need for Speed™ SHIFT" game!

1) Open multiMAN in file manager mode on your PS3 system
2) Browse to your game (on internal HDD) and press [R3] while PS3_GAME folder is selected

3) This operation will create SHADOW copy of "Need for Speed™ SHIFT" to:
       --> /dev_hdd0/G/E00682
   and --> /dev_hdd0/game/BLES00682

4) Exit multiMAN

5) Copy the generated PKG file to the root folder of USB stick or USB HDD:
   --> for firmwares 01.90-03.41: [PS3PKG-BLES00682_00-NEEDFORSPEEDSHIF.pkg]
   --> for firmwares 03.55-     : [PS3PKG-BLES00682_00-NEEDFORSPEEDSHIF-FW_355.pkg]

6) Install the PKG file from [* Install package file] menu on your PS3
7) Launch the game directly from "Need for Speed™ SHIFT (HDD)" icon on the [GAME] column in XMB
========================================================================================
*) DISCLAIMER: Use this application ONLY with legally owned content!

The automated SHADOW copy creates properly named subfolders in /dev_hdd0/G/ folder depending on the GAME_ID. By doing this - all game shadows are in the same location with recognizable folder names.

p.s. I created a small PL3_TEST.pkg for Wutangrza to test. I'll let you know if it works.

I have a feeling that the outcome of this particular part of your post is going to be the most eagerly anticipated for a lot of people.

Keep up the great work Dean

Tks for taking the job of adding the pl3 functions through a pkg Dean

No... it is just a test and I'd like to have a confirmation...

There are already RELEASES of multiMAN released around... I have no idea what is all that about and I'd like to ask people to be careful what they install with "multiMAN" in its name if it didn't come from me.

So after I backup a game in MultiMan (it doesnt show up in XMB) but when I launch the game in MultiMan it just takes me back to XMB what do I need to do to allow my backups to work?

We dont need a eboot fixer for cfw! Why not just implement the new syscall? Eboot fixer now is just a step back.. just have multiman work with new cfw as i said alot of issues would be resolved.

You need to have a disk in the drive (doesn't have to be the game you're playing) and select the disk icon from the XMB (it should be the name of the game you just loaded). If the game works diskless, you can try to load it from app_home/PS3_GAME without a disk in the drive.
