• Backup Managers, PS3 Hacks , 21.10.2010

    The folks over at Elotrolado have released a pretty snazzy version of Open Manager for the PS3.

    Files:
    - UP0001-OMAN46756_00-0000111122223333.pkg
    Package of Open Manager. To install, copy to a USB drive and install from Install package files

    - Open Copy Install.pkg
    Utility that allows checking games installed on internal/external drive, deleting, copying from one drive to another drive and patching intallations on internal drive

    - OM2.1x-SRC
    Source code of Open Manager, for being modified by developers

    Controls:
    X: Runs a game
    START: Runs a game directly, without having to access XMB (select game and press START instead of X)
    O: Copies from internal HDD, external HDD or BluRay
    ^: Deletes a game
    L3: Checks files
    R3: Corrects file access permissions
    L1: Enables/Disables controller/saves patch i.e. F1 (hermes v1)
    R1: Enables/Disables FTP
    R2: Switches between GAME/HOMEBREW modes
    SELECT: Enables/Disables Loading game data fron external drive

    How ir works:
    Proper use of game installation (install game data) on external drive:

    *Note: if the game is already installed on internal drive, delete it using Game Data Utility in XMB

    1. Run Open Manager v2.1x
    2. Select the game to be installed on the external drive and press SELECT to mount the external drive
    3. Press X and launch the game from the disk icon or app_home/ps3_game icon
    4. Follow game’s installation steps and quit the game using PS when installation completes
    5. Run Open Copy Install, select the installed game and press [] to mark on internal drive that the game as installed (if this step is omitted, installation will be requested again every time PS3 is reset)
    6. All steps done

    To launch the game, always run OP 2.1x, select the game and notice that configuration for using external drive was saved. Press X and launch the game as usual.

      open manager version number 5,002. looks like they added something about copying so this update is good for people that likes to copy stuff I guess I dunno...... still no big updates like it was meant to be last month with the mentioning of a psp emulator and dreamcast emulator, thing is we havent got not 1 update on the "progress" yea.....I have one more day till I upgrade if nothing ground breaking comes through between now and mid friday. This isn't a good start. I'll predict what's to come before the day is over 1. Backup Manager version 5,002 that supports a better interface and ftp app program number 203. :musicus:

      I can see that it runs games directly, without having to access \app_home\PS3_HOME On XMB. What if we took this feature and put it in XMBoot so we could launch games direct from the xmb link icon made by XMboot.

      The we can run games direct with out having to enter backupmanager and lanuch games from the \app_home\PS3_HOME folder in xmb.

      This have to be possible????

      Check your FTP client connection mode. I do not think obm FTP supports passive mode. Also make sure obm have started the FTP server. A
      simply telnet to your ps3 ip on port 21 will do the trick. Btw the obm FTP server is not
      stable. I suggest to use the blackbox
      FTP server instead. Much more stable.

      Just go ahead and update today, that way you'll just complain about $ony's release times over at the playstation forums vs. here.....

      Hi Guys,

      Im not able to play DBZ Raging Blast 2.
      I use OM 2.1.
      I copied the EBOOT from UFC 2010 to DBZRB2
      Changed the PARAM.SFO to 3.41.
      I switched PATCH>3.41 "On" also PATCH "On" (L1)
      then "X" to launch but when i start the game from the XMB it stays black?

      please what did i do wrong?
