• Backup Managers, PS3 Hacks , 08.10.2010

    The folks over at Elotrolado have modified Jurai2′s Sexy Manager to “Flex Manager”, making the interface similar to Netflix, except instead of movies, its your PS3 games stored on the HDD.

    Game covers should be placed in the following directory: /dev_hdd0/games/OMAN46756/covers/. They should be 348×400, title needs to be that of the game ID, and PNG reportedly does not work. This is compatible w/ v3 Hermes.

      Quick and easy way to get game covers is google, just change the search options under resolution to Exactly... and enter in 348x400

      That is just a quick search I did and turned up bunch just on the first page.

      I had such a blast constantly re-flashing my Xplain, rebooting and testing normal mode, patched mode, peek, poke, etc and I will tell you what... I'm taking a break. :P
      The thing works, so I am happy.
      By now everyone who has planned to JB the PS3 has done so or is preparing to, so it's great to see a strong homebrew scene coming about.
      Thanks for everything and congrads!!!!!!! :D :D

      Not working to well for me either using the TI-84 and v1.1 of flex manager. I downloaded a .rar package from the source site that had 140 titles. They didn't have the game ids but i used ftp and transfered them anyway. Some worked some didn't. I then tried renaming the images with the disc ids and now even less work.I don't know if I'm doing something wrong or what. If someone could help me with this issue it would be greatly appreciated

      Hopefully those working on open manager see this; this manager looks very nice but is total junk behind the scenes.

      netflix style, huh? yeah... i am pretty sure hibernatus created this style originally with wiiflow, which, is by far superior... but this looks ok for right now... looks like things are really starting to come along...

      Awesome job guys worked like a charm after sorting an initial problem (used Covers instead of covers for folder name and covers didn't show as well as the .png not working but .PNG working) it definitely enhances the look and makes it easier to access games on hard drive only thing I would say is I would have preferred some kind of percentage bar / time remaining when transferring files from disc as opposed to how many files done/ left but that's just me but once again nice app keep up the good work it is very much appreciated

      My backups aren't working anymore, here's what I did:

      1. Used my iphone2g to jailbreak, used original open manager = success!
      2. Updated the iphone2g hack with the recent package that includes hermesv3, jailbroke my ps3, did not test any games.
      3. Installed Flex Manager, said I want to use LAUNC12345 = games don't launch! black screen!
      4. Tried running original backup manager = same problem!
      5. Deleted Flex Manager, run original backup manager = same problem!
      6. Reinstall Flex Manager, chose NO when asked about LAUN12345 = same problem!
      7. Tried running original backup manager = same problem!

      Any suggestions?

      UPDATE: I went back to using the original iphone 2g jailbreak package and now both flex manager and backup manager work. Guess it was a problem with the new version with hermes v3. Too bad :/

      if anyone has found the whiteness of flex manager well a little blinding psx member RobbieH has come up with a 'carbon mesh' version and its a lot more pleasing on the eyes..
