lastGAME app: Mounts the last game you launched from multiMAN and returns you to XMB. Start the game from disc icon or /app_home
ps3NETSRV PC app: To be used with multiMAN file manager /net_host# network folders.
EBOOTMOD/EBOOTFIX PC tools: Used to modify/covert games to XMB/PSN style (or reencrypt EBOOT/SPRX files)
bdRESET tool: Removes path redirections, removes bd-mirror (restores usb to normal mode) and moves the last game played in bd-mirror mode back to its location.
>>> BROWSER.SELF (standalone www+ftp applicaion) <<<Spoiler
This is a standalone browser, which can be used by any other application (not just multiMAN).
* Supports downloading of files
* FTP server running in the background (openps3ftp) (login: anonymous, password: <any>)
* Allocates ~150MB for the browser, so no more 'insuff. memory' errors
* If URL is parsed, it will open it. If not -> Official PS3 UK page is opened
* On exit it will return to the caller application (if RELOAD.SELF is present in the same folder)
* Downloaded files are saved under the current folder + ./DOWNLOADS
If present in multiMAN's USRDIR folder - it will be used instead of the build-in mM browser.
Other devs are free to use it in their apps.
The proper way would be to create your own EBOOT.BIN, which will call the BROWSER.SELF with any parameter/URL you wish.
Code:void launch_self(char *_self, char *_param)
char* launchargv[2];
char self[256];
sprintf(self, "%s", _self);
memset(launchargv, 0, sizeof(launchargv));
launchargv[0] = (char*)malloc(strlen(_param) + 1); strcpy(launchargv[0], _param);
launchargv[1] = NULL;
exitspawn((const char*)self, (char* const*)launchargv, NULL, NULL, 0, 64, SYS_PROCESS_PRIMARY_STACK_SIZE_512K);
Code:launch_self(browser_self, start_page);
>>> USER GUIDE (courtesy of gbatemp.net) <<<Spoiler
Code:* Proper structure:
* Wrong structure:
* Press "SELECT+L3" to refresh the list (or use the REFRESH option in system menu or XMMB Game column)
* Check options.ini/options_default.ini and edit it properly if you store your games in different than defined location
Code:It was reported numerous times that such problem may arise after installing KMEAW 3.55 CFW on a new PS3 system or after updating from 3.41. In any case the solution is easy enough:
* Download and install "FIX PERMISSIONS" package file (download link)
* Start the tool and wait for it to finish its job - it will return you back to XMB screen
* Try to launch multiMAN and load a game - all should be okay now.
Since version 02.00.00: XMMB display mode (XMB clone):
Since version 01.17.01:
MAIN MENU (Display mode #7 with XMM theme)

* Added preliminary support for 4.30CFW with LV1 peek/poke syscalls (sc 8/9) or lv1 mmap patch (hvsc 114)
(if such CFW is released then direct-disc-access/PS1 disc backups should work)
* Increased number of supported simultaneous FTP transfers to 8
* FTP user/password can be anything
* Added support for "Change BD-Movie Region" function for 4.30CFW
* Updated Showtime to 04.01.224
* Added check for EBOOT.BIN firmware version (offset 0x428) and prompt to 'fix' the version to your current one.
This will fix 80010009 errors for 04.20-04.31 games without updates if EBOOT.BIN is encrypted with 4.20/0x1C key revision or lower.
Tested NFS:MW on 4.21REX without installing the 01.01 udpate for the game.
* Added full support for Rogero 4.30CFW Version 2.00
- LV1 peek/poke support
- PS1 disc backups support
- Direct Disc Access support
* Added new function in "Home" column - "* Install Package Files"
* Added new option in "Settings" - "Install Package Files Method"
- User can pick from either "Standard" or "PSN Style (bubble)" modes
- Bubble mode shows installable packages as PSN downloaded content in Game column (or under Rebug's Package Manager/PSN Content)
- To select a package file (*.pkg):
-- Use [* Install Package Files] option in Home column or
-- double click on a pkg file in mmOS/File Manager (when "bubble" method is used the PS3 will reboot)
* Fixed copying of AVCHD/Blu-ray movie backups from Video column
* Fixed issue with Hermes payload on 4.30CEX Rogero ver 2.00
- 4+GB split files caching from USB and "Ext. Game Data" game option now work
* Added standalone application "* Install Package Files"
- RELOAD.SELF from the application can be used in other homebrew tools to install PKG files via the bubble-method
- Install Package Files app works on all firmwares
Changes related only to 4.20-4.30 CEX/DEX CFWs:
* BD-Mirror option now supports USB HDDs mounted as /dev_usb000 to /dev_usb127
* BD-Mirror option uses different approach now and doesn't move the PS3_GAME folder of USB games and doesn't modify the mount table
* After using BD-Mirror for USB games, the usb drive is still accessible in XMB (Video/Music/Photo/Saves)
* Improved disc-less support with BD-Mirror option enabled
USB Ports issues:
* When using more than one USB device mM will disconnect/reconnect them from/to the USB bus in the proper order
* This fixes games that crash when started from USB when multiple devices are connected
NTFS/PFS usage:
* It is now possible to use any NTFS usb drive without configuring its Vendor/Device IDs in USB.CFG
* When switching to NTFS/PFS mode use only one USB HDD connected (mM supports up to 2 partitions: FAT32+NTFS, NTFS+NTFS, FAT32+FAT32)
* To access the contents of NTFS drives use mmOS and /pvd_usb000 /pvd_usb001 (games from NTFS drives won't show in other display modes)
* Better support for data CD/DVD/BD discs and improved "Enable Direct Disc Access" function
* Improved BD-Mirror function for games on internal HDD
* Games started from mmOS icons/shortcuts handle BD-Mirror/Ext.Game Data options properly
* Online update server updated (5320 PS3 game covers and 3420 PS1/PS2 game covers)
* Updated showTIME media player (for mM) to version 04.01.264
Install Package Files (standalone application):
* Supports split pkg files named in the following format:
filename.pkg.0 -> filename.pkg.63
filename.pkg.001 -> filename.pkg.064
filename.pkg.66600 -> filename.pkg.66663
* Upon launch/refresh the following folders are scanned:
* Updated stDISC application (better drive reset timing and support for 4.30CFW)
* Updated gameDATA, bdRESET and lastGAME applications to support 4.30CFW
* Updated showTIME media player (standalone) to version 04.01.264 (CEX/DEX)

Each PC HOST goes in separate mounted folder (net_host#). Max of 10 hosts supported (0-9).
Hosts are defined in "SETTINGS column/menu
The usage is quite simple:
Code:ps3netsrv.exe root_path port_to_listen [IP_RESTRICTIONS]
ps3netsrv.exe d:\downloads 11222
ps3netsrv.exe h: 60806
ps3netsrv.exe e:\temp 22333 192.168.1.*
Code:ps3serv.exe d:\music 11222
(c) 2012, PS3 Network server for multiMAN 04.01.00
* Serving path : d:\music
multiMAN supports managing AVCHD and BDMV structures, but it doesn't actually PLAY them. It mounts them to their proper locations so your PS3 can find/recognize the structures and play them via XMB [Video] tab menu.
You can create proper AVCHD structures with various tools and equipment like multiAVCHD, AVCHD Coder, tsMuxeR, AVCHD camcoders.
Coloring and prefixes in the game display modes:
ORGANGE/RED COLOR = Blu-ray (BDMV)
* [Video] (YELLOW color) = AVCHD on external USB HDD/stick
* [Video] (ORANGE/RED color) = BDMV on external USB HDD/stick - NOT WORKING PROPERLY
* [HDD Video] (Yellow) = AVCHD on internal HDD
* [HDD Video] (Orange/Red) = BDMV on internal HDD
* AVCHD or BDMV on external HDD/USB must be stored in the root \ folder of your device:
X:\BLURAY_MOVIE_2\BDMV\index.bdmv (NOT WORKING PROPERLY)
* AVCHD or BDMV on internal HDD must be stored in the same folder where your games are (for example /dev_hdd0/GAMES)
* AVCHD movies on external USB HDD/stick will be properly renamed upon activation (only ONE active AVCHD folder supported by PS3)
* BDMV (Blu-ray) movies on external USB will be mounted as BDMV disc (original BD game/video disc required) - NOT WORKING PROPERLY
* AVCHD movies on internal HDD will be mounted to externally connected USB/SDHC/MS storage device (USB stick/SDHC/MS card required with 22KB free)
* BDMV (Blu-ray) movies on internal HDD must be converted to AVCHD before mounting. multiMAN will prompt you to do it for you - accept it and convert it. Then it will be mounted as AVCHD.
* BDMV (Blu-ray) movies authored with JAVA extension (BD-J discs) are not supported. You can check the contents of BDJO or JAR folders. If there are files there - it won't work.
Playing back the mounted structure is done by activating the AVCHD icon from PS3's XMB Video tab - you must select the USB/SDHC/MS storage device, used for mounting.
PLEASE ALL READ CAREFULLY and educate yourself.
Let's put thing straight (as of Jan 26th 2011):
Firmware 3.41:
* PS3Jailbreak/PSGroove/PSFreedom (initial versions) = SYSCALL36
* Later sticks/payload revisions = SYSCALL6 + SYSCALL7 (Peek/Poke)
* Later payload revisions = SYSCALL8 (Hermes 4)
* Later payload revisions = SYSCALL35 (PL3)
Firmware 3.55:
* CFW GH: installing signed PKG files
* CFW Wutang: SYSCALL6 + SYSCALL7 (Peek/Poke) + signed PKG
* CFW Kmeaw: SYSCALL6 + SYSCALL7 (Peek/Poke) + signed + fake_signed PKG
* CFW WNK: SYSCALL6 + SYSCALL7 + signed PKG + SYSCALL36 + smth else
Now for 3.41 with original PSGroove/PSfreedom you get:
* SYSCALL36 (Enable BD-Emulator to run games with disc in tray)
* nothing else
Later PSG/PSF revisions:
* SYSCALL6 (peek: read values from lv2 (gameos) memory)
* SYSCALL7 (poke: write values to lv2 (gameos) memory)
* SYSCALL36 (Enable BD-Emulator to run games with disc in tray)
* nothing else
Later Hermes (1,2,3)
* SYSCALL6 (peek: read values from lv2 (gameos) memory)
* SYSCALL7 (poke: write values to lv2 (gameos) memory)
* SYSCALL36 (Enable BD-Emulator to run games with disc in tray)
* SYSCALL36 (also re-maps /app_home)
Now for 3.41 with Hermes4 you get:
* SYSCALL6 (peek: read values from lv2 (gameos) memory)
* SYSCALL7 (poke: write values to lv2 (gameos) memory)
* SYSCALL8 (allow redirections of any paths, including /dev_usb for AVCHD HDD)
* SYSCALL36 (allow redirection of /dev_bdvd to enable BD Emulator)
* SYSCALL36 (also re-maps /app_home)
For 3.41 with PL3 (regular) you get:
* SYSCALL35 (allow redirections of any paths, including /dev_usb for AVCHD HDD)
* SYSCALL36 (allow redirection of /dev_bdvd to enable BD Emulator)
* SYSCALL36 (also re-maps /app_home)
For 3.41 with PL3 DEV you get:
* SYSCALL6 (peek: read values from lv2 (gameos) memory)
* SYSCALL7 (poke: write values to lv2 (gameos) memory)
* SYSCALL35 (allow redirections of any paths, including /dev_usb for AVCHD HDD)
* SYSCALL36 (allow redirection of /dev_bdvd to enable BD Emulator)
* SYSCALL36 (also re-maps /app_home)
As you can see from the list, Hermes4 and PL3 DEV support ALL one may need and this is yet NOT PROVIDED for FW 3.55.
Have in mind that multiMAN supports and works with ANY of these listed modes/payloads/syscalls/firmwares. You must understand that it is a challenge to support so many variations and keep all stable, yet multiMAN does support them and is stable as of ver 01.14.00 both for 3.41 and 3.55 (+ older firmwares 3.10-3.30, which many of you forget about).
Now the differences in 3.55:
3.55: GH: provides a way to install signed packages, period!
3.55: WNK/WTNG/KMEAW: enable SYSCALL6 + SYSCALL7 for peek+poke + signed (or not) PKG files
As you can see: no syscall8, syscall35 or syscall36 in 3.55 firmwares (excl WNK).
Now, we are at the point where user must decide what to do:
* Use lv2 patcher and get:
- PL3 type of payload with a lot of freeze problems but with SYSCALL35+SYSCALL36+APP_HOME
- Start multiMAN (which will recognize PL3/syscall35) and be able to play AVCHD from internal HDD
* Use multiMAN 01.16.00-02.09.02 to get:
- No payload of any kind included in the distribution
- Support for "Black screen games" using external USB HDD
* BDEMU.BIN or external payload required to enable following functionality:
- Support for AVCHD/BDMV structures saved on internal HDD (AVCHD HDD)
- Path redirections for /dev_bdvd and /app_home
- BDEMU.BIN is not distributed with install packages
I hope this brief info helps you to understand some basics.
* I read your posts
* I'm not obliged by some country of federal or whatever law to answer to each and every post and request
* When I find time and if request seems feasible - I try to implement it
* If I don't answer it doesn't mean you're ignored - it means I'm considering your request
* It is impossible to be formally polite with everyone by answering their questions and requests
* The support I get is not worth mentioning, so I can't quit my day job just to be available to all of you
