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

[TitaniumL]

Awesome, love the web_browser, soon enough multiMan should be renamed to "multiManOS" and replace GameOS... it already does for me.

More like soon enough it will change to "Multiman: It only does everything!"

Since I enjoy adding stuff to multiMAN - I had this idea for sometime to utilize the (network) icon in FILE MANAGER for a web browser.

It was already in the code so I enabled it today. I hope you'll like it. I mapped the button to PSX Store and you will get a nice web browser inside multiMAN:

Awesome man!

Hope it will be better than the PS3's default browser.

DNS only stops named address like Google. if an dev uses a real ip address (111.222.333.444 format) then the dns will not be used, so the ps3 can still get an external connection even with bad/no dns settings. it just cannot resolve a name to an ip address.

ok...so whats about the logs send to sony ? are they blocked by usin´the bad/no DNS ?

For the ones who keep asking which pkg should you install. I always choose the GH (geohot) pkg, it won't matter if a few weeks, months or whenever Sony plants the new firmware...as the inevitable will happen. It's nice to have loaded a signed app rather than unsigned. It defeats that sense of purpose of trying to make it harder for Sony to detect multiman as opposed to make it easier for them

I asked about 35 pages ago this question. Alot of people have since spoken of freezing, but no-one replied..

Can you still ftp to your PS3 when your PS3 is 'frozen'?

For me the server is still up and running, so it isn't technically 'frozen'.

If I disable ftp, multiman is fine and I get no freezes what-so-ever.

Can someone clarify that? It maybe that the server is causing the freezes (I may be very wrong on that point mind)

[lang=it]Ragazzi ho un problema... Ho installato su CFW Kmeaw, l'ultima versione di multiman, quando lo avvio, rimane bloccato su: "multiman is checking file system and playload..." Perché si blocca? Devo installare la versione 355GH?

Edit: non avevo visto che questo problema era già stato richiesto, scusate...
Edit2: ho risolto il problema installando la versione 355GH!
Edit3: non funziona, quando esco da multiman schermo nero!
[/lang]

got the same problem. It freezes at the screen with the message multiman is checking file system and payload.

I don't know why it's happening...
currently i'm reinstalling the kmeaw CFW and gonna try after it's done.

but wich version i need to install? The regular one or the 355GH one?

OK Guys after lots and lots of reading this is how i got this to work - the info is all there just takes a while to grasp it all.

Update to OFW 3.55 - Google how to

Install KMEAW (Latest Version)

Install Multiman (Latest Version)

Launch Multiman

Insert Game (if locks up insert game at xmb then launch Multiman.)

Press O to backup game.

Once backed up remove game and exit Multiman

Need for Speed here is an example - all games ive tried seem to work.

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

1) Open multiMAN in file manager mode on your PS3 system (press SELECT+START)
2) Browse to your game (on internal HDD) and press [R3] while PS3_GAME folder is selected - DONT OPEN PS3_GAME Just have mouse curser over it!!

3) This operation will create SHADOW copy of "Need for Speed™ Undercover" to:
--> /dev_hdd0/G/E00449
and --> /dev_hdd0/game/BLES00449

4) Exit multiMAN

THIS DOES NOT GENERATE A PKG

You need to FTP the game over to your computer BLES***** Folder

BIG TIME SAVING OPTION

You only need to copy the contents of the BLES folder and the EBOOT.BIN in the USRDIR to create the PKG

So EG

BLES*******
param.sfo etc and all other FILES in this folder from the PS3
USRDIR
ONLY need EBOOT.bin in here.

Drag that over the ebootfix.exe and it will create the PKG for the game just fine.

No need to copy the WHOLE GAME to computer.

The EBOOTFIX.EXE from Multiman MEGA package.

This WILL create the PKG Needed.

5) Copy the generated PKG file to the root folder of USB stick or USB HDD:
--> for firmwares 01.90-03.41: "[BLES00449] Need for Speed Undercover (HDD).pkg"
--> for firmwares 03.55- : "[BLES00449] Need for Speed Undercover (HDD)-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™ Undercover (HDD)" icon on the [GAME] column in XMB
8) If prompted to update to newer version - cancel the update
================================================== ======================================

Job Done People, i hope you find this useful.

Despite your tutorial to be a little messy, I managed to create a pkg and install it on the XMB. Only it does not run. neither with the originalk disk. And when I erase what I had installed, the same game i installed trogh multiman was affected. Then i erased the corrupted game with multiman and to my surprise no free space on hd. I formatted it but I think a bit of hd disappeared.
Do not ask how I managed that.
I hope i never need to use this again.

OK first post went unanswered. Lets try again.

Deank, is there a way to mark game titles so that it shows which ones require a BR in drive to start? I think it would be usefull if we can mark them to know,so that we don't have to hit wrong one, have it lock up and try again. This would help especially if you have a bunch of games. Thanks, everything going great with MM so far!!

[PS3Guy]

Can anyone assist me with the EBOOT FIX app? I'm having trouble getting games to run on the PS3. Every game I try to start after installing the "eboot pkg" file results in "corrupt game data" error.

Here are the steps I'm taking. My PS3 is running CFW 3.55 KMW.

1. Open multiMAN
2. Insert my game disc (ie. The Shoot, Cabela's Dangerous Hunts, etc)
3. In multiMAN, I copy the disc
4. I remove the disc. I run the game, runs perfectly. No issues.
5. Through FTP, I copy the ICON0.PNG, PARAM.SFO, EBOOT.BIN. I preserve the directory structure (PS3_GAME\USRDIR).
6. I drag the PS3_GAME folder over the ebootFIX.exe file.
7. The new "[BCUS98222] The Shoot (HDD).pkg/[BCUS98222] The Shoot (HDD)-FW_355.pkg" gets created.
8. On the PS3, I remove all game data (saves, etc)
9. In multiMAN, I delete the game directory /dev_hdd0/game/BCUS98222
10. In multiMAN, I go to the /dev_hdd0/GAMES/BCUS98222/PS3_GAME directory. Click R3. The shadow copies are created.
11. I exit multiMAN and install [BCUS98222] The Shoot (HDD)-FW_355.pkg
12. I opening the game from XMB and I get the "Corrupt Game Data" error.
13. I try opening the game in multiMAN and get the "Corrupt Game Data" error. Before running the ebootFIX it ran with no problems.

Any assistance would be appreciated.

Thank you in advance for your help.
