• We all know deank is probably the most dedicated PS3 Developer there is on the PS3 Scene, whether it be big updates, or minor updates, he is always working on multiMAN, today he releases version 02.07.00 which is a huge update, here is a quote from the change log:

    * Added: LV2 access rights to use LV1 Storage Manager (syscall 864)
    * Added: LV1 patch for user access to sys_storage functions (syscalls 600 to 623)

    * The above two for regular users mean:

    * Thanks to graf_chokolo and the SACD-Ripper guys!

    * -> Access to all types of optical discs inside multiMAN (file/folder mode):
    * -> Copy/Backup of Blu-ray Movie Discs (decryption may be required on PC) (previously possible only via OtherOS)
    * -> Copy/Backup of DVD-Video discs (decryption may be required on PC)
    * -> Copy/Backup of PSX and Playstation 2 Discs
    * -> Access to AACSMKB_RO.inf on a Blu-ray movie disc to restore lost DRL1/DRL2
    * -> Direct playback of movies/music (avi, mkv, etc) from BD-R/BD-RE/DVD-R/DVD-RW via Showtime for multiMAN

    That’s about it. In short it means that you can now access and copy files/folders from any optical disc (be it to rip a blu-ray movie or transfer a backup of PS3 game from DVD or BDR to your ps3, watch videos in Showtime, etc)

    The download is yet not available, but will be released later today.

    UPDATE 1:

    Please update to 02.07.01 if you installed 02.07.00.

    The link below will take you to the updated with links to 02.07.01 UPD/BASE/FULL.

    There was an issue, which caused some games to error out with weird messages (because of the storage manager intervention). Sorry about that.

    You can also update online to 02.07.01.

      would there be any way to add bits from a pc program, such as DVDFab, to the program, as they can back-up DVD abd Blu-Ray movies, and decrypt them too, meaning there could be a way to play the back on the PS3 via multiMAN.

      Just an idea.

      Great work again Dean, may not update my PS3, but ALWAYS updating multiMAN

      I'm leaning probably not, due to the legality of DVD/BD DRM decryption software in some places.

      Totally understand what ur saying on that, however, I'm sure it is legal to make back-ups of any material u own, and if u dont have a Blu-Ray drive on ur PC, then u can not make a legal back-up using that device, so by using the PS3 BR drive, it is the only way u can do it. Thats the way programs like DVDFab get around it.

      I might be wrong, so please dont flame me, and I also know that in some countries it is illegal to make back-ups full stop.

      While I do wish there was full NTFS access myself, I agree with your post 110% Multiman is fantastic!

      Something I want even more then NTFS support is PS1/PS2 back up support so I can ditch my piles of games and just have them all under one roof so to speak.

      By back up support I mean playing off the hard drive, although thinking about it... PS1 games will probably never play off a hard drive?

      Is it even possible?

      Anyway Deank your the best!

      * -> Copy/Backup of PSX and Playstation 2 Discs

      Deank's release post:

      Multiman is awesome thanks deank, i will definitely be giving this update a try.

      i was wondering if there is any way to fool the PS3 into thinking a PS3 game is present? As i think this would allow discless booting of games that require a disc.

      Or would perhaps patching the eboot work like in PSN backups? This one i doubt as you can run say a GTA:EFLC backup with NFS:HP in drive which means its not an issue of file paths.

      Unfortunately according to Sony you don't own your discs or your PS3 anymore. You may buy either in any store on planet earth, but you are only granted license to use them at Sony's discretion. (Oh and as long as you update your firmware to the most recent release).

      I don't have PSX discs, so I can't say for sure it works. I tested with PS2 and Blu-ray movie discs. As you know you can backup PS2 discs on your PC, so it is not a big deal. The cool thing is that you can now access regular DVD/DVDRW/BDR/BDRE discs and their contents. That was my goal.

      Later I can add ripping to ISO, but currently it makes no sense to do it. If I find a way to mount ISO images (like Cobra) then I'll do it.

      BASE/FULL links are available in multiMAN's thread.

      Only if you agree to Sonys new ToS, imo they can get f*cked they're pushing things too far, although i do respect copyrights so i actually own copies of the games i backup (idc if you believe me btw, i know its true and thats enough)

      SH1T! I just installed Ubuntu 10.04 LTS over REBUG 3.55.2 OtherOS++ on my PS3 Slim... I managed to finish it ON FRIDAY, being one of my motivations to "backup" BD, and now I found this!

      very cool!! I hope this means you are working on cobra-like support so we can use the backups...I tested it out and R&C backed up just fine, as well as mounted to the bd drive...when I click to load it, I get an error telling me I'm stupid for trying to load a ps2 game with a slim

      soooo...that means they are mountable, somewhat I don't get any fancy banner or anything like when a ps3/psp game is mounted, but it shows that it's a ps2 disk, as opposed to the usual "unsupported data" disk logo

      Actually PS2 games don't support cover art and icons - you only see the disc in XMB - nothing else. But what you say is really interesting. You say you actually see a disc icon and not the "unsupported/broken" icon?!

      I should check this.

      Awesome development, this was previously only possible with Cobra USB. Now it should be possible for emu devs to implement playback of games direct from CD. Although AFAIK the only CD based systems currently properly emulated on PS3 are PC-Engine, PC-FX, and CD32.

      I'm not sure if I understand your question. I get ~10MB/s from the BD disc, which I think is not bad. What is the expected speed?

      09-18-2011
      01:38 PM

      Yes, I'll explain...
      All backup loaders make use of bdmount right?
      It's ''in a rough way telling'' an emulator of a real BD disc, let's say what Daemon tools do. This is known to have a limmit to the transfer rate of PS3's BD, so the transfer speed of playing games through internal/external are all limmited to the read speed of BD. Take as an example of a BD game backed up to Internal and the same game bought from PSN. The load times differ.

      Even if multiMAN is able to mount PS2 games at some point as Cobra does, you will not be able to run them properly on Non-BC PS3 models, they can be forced with the software emulator, but they will not be playable (glitches, practically slow motion, crashes, controller issues, etc...), as the hardware doesn't have whats needed to run them.

      Actually that my cousin tried it, F1, Disgea tittles and Tekken 4, worked well so far. It's a case of debate how bad it works, there are also surprises in the fact. Not that I doubt it's bad, but people haven't even put up videos so far demonstrating how bad it is, and they dont take in account the polygon counts etc. Every tittle will have a different result. You can't just say bad bad bad without some videos and tests in real time. Bad is also a case of per-person.

      Well I never said "bad", as I do understand very well that "bad, good, ugly, fat, slim, etc..." its just perspective of an individual. I'm just pointing out some real technical facts, so people don't get their hopes high on things that 'could' disappoint them later because the performance is not as expected.

      SeeYa!

      I found one of my old psx disks to try and back it up but it does not show up in MM, that is unless I am just looking in the wrong place, or missing a setting...

      It is saved where your games are. It will probably show as PS2 disc, but don't worry. The main idea was to enable access to optical discs, not really to deal with their contents at the moment.

      The reason why this the best backup manager is because, Dean actually communicates with the community regularly. Not even these AMAZING updates is enough for him. In that regard, I am very grateful for the all the work you do on your homebrew. ^ ^

      Amazing release. Keep up the good work.

      Oh i understand that part, but I mean where does it show in MM for me to be able to back it up? Like which column is it located in for me to select backup/copy?

      Just a question about backing up a BDROM (blu ray movie) Since the file size is usually around 40gb i assume that MM has the ability to save the rip to an external NTFS drive?

      Like when i click triangle and click copy i can select the ntfs drive or no? Do i have to change the file format to NTFS in MM settings first?

      Hi first of all I gotta say awesome work on mm used it for the first time tonight. Now I just have a quick question, I'm having so much trouble backing up a bd movie. It's been a while since I've messed with all of this, since i got my teensy in last year to be exact so I'm a little behind on everything. I'm on 3.41 ofw with the teensy hack how do I go about copying a BD movie. I've tried triangle on the xmb in mm and ftp and neither produce the results needed. What am I doing wrong if anyone can help please

      ****UPDATE****
      Ok disregard, I solved my problem. I bit the bullet and updated to kmeaw 3.55 and all is showing up ok :D

      So far I have tried to backup two different PSX games and both freeze part way through. It looks like it is copying, then it just stops, time keeps counting up but nothing happens. Unsure if this is something I am doing wrong or if it is a problem with MM.

      Also on a side not about MM, Can MM read games from a NTFS external drive?

      Yes multiMAN can read from external NTFS drive, but first you must edit a file called "USB.CFG" where multiMAN was installed on the PS3 hdd, with your drive specifications. If you're on Windows OS you can get those values from the Device Manager.

      >>> USB.CFG <<<
      [spoiler]
      Code:
      0x12ab:0x3c4d:1
      VENDOR_ID:PRODUCT_ID:NUM_OF_PARTITIONS

      Hexadecimal values must be lowercase:

      0x02E8:0x6A14:1 = Wrong
      0x02e8:0x6a14:1 = Right
      [/spoiler]
      Remember that this feature allows only reading games, for copy or transfer purposes, not playing them since the NTFS driver only support reading and not writing.

      SeeYa!

      Sir, does it mean when i insert new bluray movie disc, my bluray playback will be restored due to loss of DRL1/DRL2? As currently my Blu-ray Drive doesn't recognize my Juiced 2: Hot Import Nights game BD, it only shows loading disc icon and not booting... Thanks...

      I'm always updating my multiMAN... Thanks DeanK for this great manager...

      I don't have PSX discs and I can't test it. I guess for PSX we'll have to go with ISO mode.

      To other people with troubles:

      These new functions work on CFW 3.55 only (no 3.41). Tested ok with kmeaw and rebug. Probably it won't work with Waninkoko or Cobra, so don't report it as a bug, because I can't help you with that.

      so by this do you just mean we will have to stick with ftping over iso files or is there another ps3 backup method?

      Also on a side note since I know nothing about it but seen it mentioned, can this Cobra thing play ps1/ps2 backups? on a non BC system?

      Thanks for all your help.

      Check the VIDEO column for "BD/DVD" icon/entry. Also check file manager. It works if you're on CFW 3.55.

      Read my post above. If you're on waninkoko firmware it won't work.

      I don't have a cobra dongle and can't say anything about it. About the ISO format. It is possible to add a function in multiMAN to backup discs to ISO format and I may do it in time.

      Hi DeanK,

      Great work, just a quick question if I may regarding bluray.

      I have backed one up to try it, when I select the folder it asks to activate and I say 'Yes' and it says I can selcet from the XMB but there is no entry in the video on the xmb for me to play it, I am being a complete div? Do I need to create an ISO on the PC first and ftp back to my internal and if so where do I place the ISO for it to show in the VIDEO column?

      Sorry for being dim.

      Waninkoko firmware users may try to update to multiMAN 02.07.02 and check if it fixes the issue. Of course they won't get access to the 'optical-disc-functions' but at least it won't crash.

      I keep hoping someone will find a way to give us back access to third party peripherals. Still have 3 controllers that I bought online thinking they were official Playstation controllers (look exactly like they should), but since the update that wiped out 3rd party can only use them if they're plugged in. C'mon Dean, you may be my only hope.

      You can now try these old DVD-R discs - they will work (that was the idea).

      Yes, you can now backup your games to BDR/BDRE discs or DVD/RW if game fits and then use these discs to transfer back to PS3 (int/ext) and play the backup.

      Since the ps3 already plays ps1 games, should it take much work to be able to mount ps1 games to play from backup?
      If I understand how a ps3 backup works it just mounts the disk to look like its in the drive, so shouldn't it work for ps1 games?
      Sorry if this sounds extremely noobish, I am relatively new to all these thing, though ps3hax has taught me much so far.

      The PS3 can be booted in BD-EMULATOR mode, where you can use any ISO image as if it was actually in your bd-disc tray. It requires few changes to the kernel.

      Setting the Boot Parameter

      On the Debugging Station and the Reference Tool, set "Blu-ray Disc Access" in the Debug Settings column of the system software to "BD Emulator (USB)". On the Reference Tool (DECR-1000/DECR-1000A), it can be set from the system software and also on the Administration Tool. In the "Boot parameters" screen, select "BD Emulator (DEV)" for "Blu-ray Disc Access".

      Note:
      On the Debugging Station and Reference Tool, "BD Drive" is selected by default.


      After this setting is completed, reset the target system to enable the BD emulator. To use the USB mass storage as the HDD for the BD emulator, connect it to the system before resetting.

      Accessing from the Game Application

      The game application can access under the mount point "/dev_bdvd".

      perhaps I am reading this wrong, but from what I understand your talking about a debug system and such, so am I to understand this cannot be done to a retail ps3?

      I have a BC ps3...and I CAN test it if anyone wants me to. And I will confirm whether it works or not.

      Unless I too am reading that wrong.....but I don't see any other way to read it other then what it says. But where do the iso's go when it backs them up?? lol that and I don't know if I'm ready to update my Multiman that I got to this if this isn't what I think it is. I'll update tonight if this is what I hope it is. If it can play the backups then I'm sold.

      would it be possible in the MM file Manager to have it able to browse a network drive?

      You can backup PS1 and PS2 discs.
      You cannot use / play them with multiMAN at this moment.
      You can do many other things with those backups, just like if you do them on a PC. Let your creativity fly .
      You could make ISOs, then use with Cobra if you have one.

      SeeYa!

      Backward Compatibility is a hardware feature (at least for PS2, PS1 is supported by all PS3 models), if you have a PS3 model that is Non-BC then the most that could be done would be enabling the PS2 Software Emulator, but the console itself would still be Non-BC.

      SeeYa!

      Yes, you can now backup your games to BDR/BDRE discs or DVD/RW if game fits and then use these discs to transfer back to PS3 (int/ext) and play the backup.
      haven't tryed it yet but is it possible to grab a game that has aleady been backed up to a external drive use those files and move to BD or DVD to play on a different PS3?

      First post in multiMAN thread updated with:

      multiMAN ver 02.07.03 UPDATE (20110920-134201).pkg (1.63 MB)

      * Changed: multiMAN starts faster now
      * Fixed: Unnecessary auto-refresh/scan for content on each startup
      * Added: Advanced option in XMMB Settings:

      Expand Contents of XMMB media columns
      Sets whether to scan and show content in music, photo, video and retro columns.

      When option is disabled, multiMAN will not scan your usb/hard drive/etc for supported files (mp3/avi/roms/etc).

      That's a pretty cool feature which would be even more useful if there was some kind of unrar or unzip implemented into multiman. That way some 8.5GB+ BD backups could be squeezed onto a DL DVDR as not everyone has a BD burner. Also DL BDR media is still relatively expensive, so those with BD burners could squeeze some DL BD games onto a SL BDR.

      Also, multiple versions of the same game compress really well as they share many of the same files, so instead of wasting HDD space with multiple versions of the same game they could all be backed up to one disc and then copied back from disc through multiman when required.

      PlayStation 3 (PS3) Specifications and Details

      BD(Blu-ray Disk)/DVD/CD Drive (Read Only) Maximum Read Speed:
      BD 2x (BD-ROM)
      DVD 8x (DVD-ROM)
      CD 24x (CD-ROM)
      Theoretically it should be 4x faster to transfer to PS3 from DVD than BD, so best to backup to DVD if they fit. Theoretically CD should be 12x faster than BD, but very few games will be under 700mb.

      "Theoretically" 1x 2x 3x 4x for CD/DVD/BD are totally different.

      BD-R 1x = 36MB/s where CD-ROM 1x = 150KB/s

      Some more news

      You can now RIP optical discs (DVD/BD) to ISO format. The speed is good:

      6MB/s for DVD
      10MB/s for Blu-ray discs



      It is a test function, so if anyone wants to test it - contact me on IRC in #multiMAN channel. I'd like to know if the ISO files generated by multiMAN can be used with Cobra.

      Neat feature, I believe cobra works with previous ISOs created on a PC, so if these work on a PC they should work with cobra.

      Originally Posted by deank View Post

      So the theoretical maximum would be 72MB/s, but generating ISOs will be slower, so what's the current speed for just copying BD in non-iso format? Presumably somewhere between 10 MB/s and 72 MB/s.

      I'm wondering how practical it would be to have "pseudo playback" of BD & DVD backups by temporarily caching the disc contents to HDD and mounting it, it could then be deleted/overwritten after playing the game and returning to multiman. Say for example an average game is 5 GB, at 10 MB/s it would take 500 seconds or 8 min 20 sec to cache to HDD, which wouldn't be very practical except for the smallest of games. However, at 72 MB/s it would only take 69 seconds, or about a minute, which is much more practical.

      These cobra dongles, do they have some hardware component in them that allows the ps1/ps2 backup mounting/playing or is it just a software feature, because if it is a software feature it should be able to be added to MM or at least to a custom Firmware. A Firmware with that might just make me switch from Rebug.

      @deank,
      (I think) I found the cause of the "browse" (or explore) icon NOT listing the ROMS images (in /ROMS/snes, /ROMS/fba, etc.):
      if the roms are .zip files, the "browse" under Retro do not list them.

      i.e. I created a folder "/dev_usb00/ROMS/test" with rom1.gba, rom2.gbc, rom3.zip, rom4.zip; the "browse" only listed the rom1 and rom2. rom3 and rom4 were not listed.

      I would say your post was WORTHLESS (useless or whatever you want to call it ) Deank work is great.. If you don't like it, there are plenty of backup managers you could use..
      Or better yet don't use anyone's work, and make your own... and you can have any feature you want. (maybe you will gather soon respect for these devs

      KIDDIES GROW UP PLEASE, Deank don't have to share any of this with you.. (im glad he does )

      What is more USELESS an update you don't know how to use or nothing at all.. I would think nothing at all would be worthless.. (give that some thought next time you feel an update dont apply to your needs)

      Edit: Also one great use (havent tried it but im sure it possiable) You have no BluRay drive in PC.. Well now you can rip via ps3 and FTP to PC... Drive f*cked in your PC well now you can use your PS3 drive and FTP to ps3.. So many uses ....

      Why do people always reply like this, just because I ask if it can be done and that if it could it would be good, does not mean I think it is easy. I know I can't make/do it, but it doesn't mean I don't have interest in knowing how it works and if it is possible.
      I always thank the devs for any and all of there hard work, doesn't mean I think its all simple.

      Well if you had read the threads here you would easily find out.. (but who cares people for the most part are here to help) Please dont take my post the wrong way.. Im just saying it wasnt easy.. They are working on it im sure. (cobra features) Cobra put some security to protect thier device for as long as possiable to gather most profits... Soon you will see cobra features..

      And to answer the question first asked it is Software, not hardware..i believe

      The only reason Rax909 thought it was useless, is because he dosnt really understand things that well, im guessing you may be in the same boat.

      deank is a very dedicated developer, he dosnt do this for fame or money, so any feature that he adds, whether it be big or small, is in no way useless.

      any way to copy the iso image to external instead of just internal.
      I know i can just tranfer it in file manager or even ptf it. I just think it would be great to have that option to where you would want to save the image

      I added "Create ISO" option in file manager when you select /dev_bdvd. There you can select the destination (in the opposite directory pane).

      The theoretical transfer speed is ~8.58MB/s when copying blu-ray discs. multiMAN reaches ~8.56/8.57MBs.

      There is a progress bar now + speed/remaining information. It will be available in the next update.

      "It says Copied 307/604 MB (6/90)" <--- this means that you're copying in normal file/folder format and not in ISO.

      Try to use "Create ISO" instead.

      Currently ISO format is supported if the disc is authored in iso9660/2048 bytes/sector. If your psx disc is in cdrom/2352 format it may not work. Actually I can't test PSX iso backup because I don't have such discs.

      hi. juz wanna ask what should the backup data contains if you backup psx game? if it is .bin file, is suggest just to dload it on a site for future use... As of the moment, multiMAN's main purpose i think was the ps3 should only read DVD-R/CD-R regarding it can back up data. so if you guyz want psx game, just google it...

      Thanks to DeanK for this feature... Coz i tried it before (I inserted DVD-R) and it doesn't work... and only DeanK juz made it tho... Thanks

      hi deank, thanks for even bothering to reply on a noobs post

      i updated to the .07 version and now it backs out to xmb. So i put in faster on bluray, loaded up multiman, selected insidious, now when it even shows the title and the picture, but now when i play it plays faster. I searched how to decrypt blu rays but they require to be first ripped etc. how do i go on about decrypting the back up made by multiman? what shall i use? Thanks
