Team Cobra updated their multiMAN Cobra Manager to version 4.00.00 and added a nice little bonus: this version also works without the Cobra dongle, so everyone can updated their multiMAN to this latest version. Cobra features do not work without the dongle, but this way people without the Cobra CFW can have an updated version of multiMAN.

Improved “Coverflow” display mode
Added preparations for experimental support for multi-disc PSX games in CUE+BIN or ISO format for up to 4 discs (“Required Cobra USB/FW update will be announced when PSX multidisc support is available”)
mmCM 04.00.00 will work without CobraUSB dongle connected (See the ‘Second Quote’ below for more information).
New mmCM users will have to install mmCM 04.00.00 FULL version.Cobra USB
And this is the full changelog since DeanK released his last version 2.92.00
Added function “Create ISO from folder”
Support for *.0/.31, *.001/.032, *.66600/.66631 split file formats
Join split files in file manager (select and copy the first file to get the rest joined)
New display mode “XBDM” – XBOX Dash Clone
Added option “Detect Game Title in ISO Images” to allow using ISO filenames and *not* scan for game names in local database
Improved scanning for retro roms/iso and covers (populating the Retro column)
New THEME format (.thm). One theme – one file. Easy installation within multiMAN/mmCM without going to XMB to install theme pkg files.
mmTM – Easy to use PC application to create thm files from folders (separate download).
multiMAN/mmCM will try to read disc volume labels and display in VIDEO column (BD/DVD entry) and in other display modes.
Added indication (rotating refresh icon next to the column icon) when multiMAN/mmCM is loading/extracting title thumbnails (XMMB [mode)*]Added pop-up notifications when new versions of multiMAN/mmCM and Showtime are available for download

Its nice until I read that the cobra features will not work. meaning it's basically useless. But I guess I won't need to reinstall the official MM when I install TB so I guess that's cool, no need to keep installing and reinstalling both Multimans when I plan on going back and forth between the cfws. So I guess for me it is ok that this was updated like this. But I just don't like the idea they strip the features away.

Deank made a big work so we can say he is out!
01-12-2012
06:40 PM
[MENTION=214377]SoldOut[/MENTION], Dean has said He did not sale out. Frankly who gives a rats ass even if he did. He busted his ass with MM, He got like ZERO donations. Even if he did sale out I would rather see him work with "Cobra" people who atleast offer features. Instead of $60 for a toggle that will let me play only 3.60+ games that someone picks what I should be playing. If wanna play Resistance 3 I have to "Buy" a real pirate copy just to play it.
01-12-2012

When you grow up you realize a family, house payments and bills need to be paid whether anybody else likes it or not
THANXX Dean< I can't express enough how much I enjoy your work and see all the time and passion you put in
I hope the best for you in every endeavor you choose
Good Luck

deank use ****ty code that other pos3 devs laugh at,his code was all ps3 sdk,he making profit from stolen property
01-12-2012
06:59 PM
Regardless of how he did it, mM is THE most popular piece of software on a JB'd PS3 going and he has said more than once that his code is OPEN for any and all to use it.

for the stolen SDK thing well no ****, Let's look back at the original xbox scene. Everything there was made a stolen SDK, Not a single person *****ed. I know nothing about 360 scene so I know nothing if a SDK is currently used for not. Also projectorfreak is right in the real world, You do what you have when you have bills and responsibilities you do what you have too. So if he did sale out and is making money good for him.

What a clever way to market and advertise the Cobra dongle. Quit flaming Deank. He worked his ass off to bring us a FREE MM...and guess what, it's still FREE. I guess you must like doing your work for free too. We have no proof that he's working for Cobra. But if he is then, GOOD! I'm glad to see him get some respect plus a check. Pay da Man!

well now..this is unexpectedly suprise
Didin't ever think they would release anything for free..
Don't know yet if i will install this,if more people try and confirm good then yes why not
what abouth BDEMU2 support in this 4.00 version of cobra/mm ? since cobra uses payload inside dongle? so they don't need BDEMU
abouth DeanK
even even if he works underground for Cobra that is fine by me,he give end users like us many many great features and we all should respect that! He can do whatever he wants!!!
But from last post from him abouth MM clone,he does not work for them!

01-12-2012
08:58 PM
Wait, so what are the features we can use with that one that are not present on the last update of the official Deank version fo mM? That sounds like a marketing trick based on carefully used language and sentences, which is very rare and suspicious for a product comming out of Cobra Team... Atleast I have to agree that it's a nice and successful attempt to saperate themselfs from the True Blue illness...
01-12-2012

09:14 PM
Who are you (as in anyone) to judge DeanK and what he does with HIS software. He could sell it if it wants to and not a word that anyone says means a damn. To my understanding he commented on Cobra's use of MultiMan stating he wasn't working on it and they are free to modify and basically charge money for it. Now the modified version has been released minus the Cobra Dongle's selling features and everyone is raging at DeanK. What a bunch of ungrateful chaps. Go program your own content management system and get back to us and until then I am adding a lot of people to my ignore list.

Wow, this scene blows. It blows hard.
You guys are raging at a creator of a free program that you no doubt use every time you use your PS3. Not to mention the fact that he specifically said that he has nothing to do with Cobra, but was happy that someone took the code and modified it/added features. Where is the problem? I do not see a reason for Dean to lie and even if he did, the program is still free and now anyone can use it. You guys are just being ungrateful little leechers. Also, yes, he did use a stolen SDK, but that does not mean it is not his work and that he does not deserve any credit. It does not matter what tools he used, he still made it and supported it damn well with updates and new features over the last year or so. multiMan is the king of backup managers and it is free....
tl;dr - Stop biting the hand that feeds.
01-12-2012
10:03 PM
Agreed. The people who complain are just ungrateful pieces of trash.. plain and simple. I remember when DeanK was coming out with several updates a week and there were people complaining about too many updates. Ungrateful. I haven't powered on my PS3 in months, people like SoldOut are the reason I won't power it on for many months to come. I could care less though.

im annoyed of whats happening to ps3 hombrew, deank didnt sell out multiman, it came from open manager so anyone can modify it,after all hes done for the community, some company uses his program for the dongles they sell and they blame him not cobra?, at the end of the day dean will get respect for his free service.
http://www.ps3hax.net/showpost.php?p...&postcount=104
anyway i thought that we would get cobra features for not having one, it would be wrong of them to make it only for cobra users, as they didn't come up with the source.

Seriously, I don't understand the ****ing problem, free updated multiMAN for everyone from Team Cobra. Can someone say what's the ****ing problem with it? People should be happy about such news...
PS. I'm against dongles and so, but random insulting people and being ungrateful is the worst...
01-12-2012
10:42 PM
When there's nothing new on the scene, you ***** about "no ps3 news". When somebody releases something new and nice, you start *****in' about who/how/why he/she made it. Srsly, wtf is wrong with you guys? Can't you just enjoy the news? Why all the hate? Why can't you just stfu and let the devs do what they do best? If you came to this site just to troll, i sugges you, gtfo and let the big boys talk.

if i want to install this over an old version of mm and don't have internet to update do i have to delete or uninstall and will it erase my games? can anyone please answer.

12:16 AM
[MENTION=214377]SoldOut[/MENTION] um dude these new MM updates work on non cobra 2, so even if he did sell out (which he said he didn't and i like to take people for their word until proven otherwise) he is still updating MM and even if you don't own a cobra you benefit from it so stfu and what happens happens
01-13-2012

12:30 AM
Why is everyone talking as if DeanK sold out? Multiman is open-source, which means ANYONE with enough programming experience can modify it and release it as they please (I do believe it was under the GPL license). As an open-source programmer, you may not like some modifications of your source, but nonetheless, it's open-source to prevent the eventual decay of the software.
01-13-2012
01:45 AM
I guess everyone is saying that he sold out because multiman had being released like once a week before this cobra version appeared. And no updates from Dean. Maybe thats why. Anyway i'm grateful to Dean, but i still hate dongles.

01-13-2012

Its may be true that it is partly deank's work, he did work hard on it and if he wanted to sell it fair enough, what i don't like is the dishonesty and lies, i don't like the pretence that the first cmMm wasn't his, when he knows it is.
This scene has become a joke and if you guys only knew half the corruption that exists.
Also the reason that the devs have left have nothing to do with the PS3 users, its to do with other so called devs and the with holding of tools and information.
Am i glad this mM supports all firmwares, hell yes, am i glad deank lied, hell no.

I heard that people found traces that it's infact Deank's work, and they are people I trust.
I don't get when everybody says that "we are ok if he decided to work for them, it's not like we are going to lose our respect for him, we just want an official responce" and people come back with a constructed message.
I'm not going to lose my respect for him whatever is the truth but seriously, Deank was the only person that i trusted with all of my soul, it was the last thing that I believed in this mess called PS3 scene, now that this happens, my interest for PS3 is dead, completelly, I cannot trust anyone anymore for nothing, there are no boarders anymore saperating the stars and the villains of this scene which means the complete death of this scene.
I'm seriously sad right now, nearly crying.

i might give it a try later.
01-13-2012
04:21 AM
This release does not need BDEMU.... It works out of the box, so to say.
I honestly do not care whether or not Deank went to Cobra, but nothing, and I do mean NOTHING, points to him contributing anything to Cobra's version other than the source they used.

Check that by the way and the time it got last edited and the time of the update on our frontpage:
http://www.ps3hax.net/showpost.php?p=220066&postcount=1
It's not like we are going to hate or lose our respect or anything at all against Deank, I feel exactly the same I felt always about him but this whole situation is loathing me, it enforces what i said once, that it's not the scene's fault that devs leave, it's the cheap and easy excuse for people to leave for their own reasons (getting hired for dongles, they are unable to put in practice their work, they got bored etc) but in the end the result is always the same, exactly the same as when Sony does a move, people end up being abandoned with the blame that they are monsters and malicious, which is sooo untrue and sooo unfair.

I don't have any problem with cobra whatsoever. it brought new features and most importantly did not add DRM to somebody else's existing work.
if deank worked for them that's his call. there would be no shame in it and no need to deny it IMO

the dongle then told the cobra devs and they paid him out after all he did get the psx
working if so its hes choice i wont complain
01-13-2012
07:20 AM
Its the lieing and denying that is p*ssing me off, if he had said that it was his work from the beginning, i would have had no problem, after all he worked hard on perfecting it, he deserved a little bit of a pay cheque, but he didn't have to lie.
01-13-2012
07:32 AM
It's his choice whatever he did or did not do and lets be realistic here, we are talking about a games console that he created a bit of software for, not some medical breakthrough etc.
01-13-2012
07:33 AM
All the scene has turned into is a auction whoever can make the most money from its user base, and who can hold back the most information to themselves to see for profit, all the ps3 devs are in this auction house and that is the main reason why the ps3 scene is so rubbish and fails.
01-13-2012
07:34 AM
This sounds like a dev on the Cobra team got conscientious objection, otherwise Cobra wouldn't let non Cobra users enjoy this new release
I would really like to know how the "scene" works lately and who is behind the recent developments in the "scene". Only problem is if we know, $ony will also know...

But still i keep coming back to the site to check if there's any progress made. Just for the sake hoping that a healthy scene will emerge some day.
But it still is sad

This scene is a joke we got the sell outs geohot/deank, the e-fame whores mathieulh/DH, and hardly any progress being made. I updated my ps3 awhile back and can't say I regret my decision if this is what is made up of the devs in the scene. I expect it from big evil Sony not these guys.

No one can blame him for wanting paid for his work but he shouldn't of lied to everyone saying he didn't sell out, be a man and tell the truth F's. All good for him he done great work and I for one think he should get paid but don't BS US that's all lol

09:18 AM
While speaking, the whole Cobra Team has been exposed, everyone with names, I'm not gonna redirect or give links find it yourself...
What a shame, all of them with no exception were devs from PS3 scene, most of them left because they "had enough of negativity", what a cheap lie...
I think devs are the ones who actually have the problem here and not sceners...
What a hall of shame...
It makes me regret my beliefs about Cobra USB...
I wonder for how long they thought this would have been kept a secret?
01-13-2012
09:29 AM
I agree with you on this one.
I remember when first cmMM came out (03.00) and i linked to some website saying DeanK could be working with Cobra Team (and i have no problem with that of course lol )
Then Deank said he was not working for them and he does not mind if someone uses his code ect ect.. and look now
I just don't know why he would lie saying he is not working for them when high chance are he is working for them all along,also i did not see anywhere that someone could make almost perfect close of MM
Still will have high respect for him and what he has done to us,but he didin't need to lie.This is only thing that bothers me
edit:btw so we don't need BDEMU2 installed in this cmMM? someone said it works without it? what abouth hermes payload? and is ccMM useing PL3? if so then i will probaby stay on .02.09 with hermes.
01-13-2012
09:43 AM
It seems that here and on another site there are couple of people who love to speculate a lot. They post something and all of a sudden it becomes a FACT and everyone uses it as a starting point to continue the blames and misinformation.
Please re-read again my post and POINT OUT exactly what I lied about, how is the money involved when you have multiMAN 01.00.00 to 04.00.00 for free and how come you blame me for anything. I've never asked anything from any of you and this was the last thing I expected to see on this forum. Did I steal anything from you? Did I promise anything and then later back off or lie about? No. The attitude from some posters makes me think that no matter what I do, did or would do - there will always be someone who'll complain, so just leave me alone, will you?

does it means CobraUSB dongle can work on any firmware? because this update of mmCM asks the system to insert cobra card but if you are on FW 3.41 or on CFW 3.55, the cobra USB is itself enough or we have to install their CFW 3.55 cobra?
because I wonder the interest of this version if the cobra usb is not compatible with our current firmware, Why make a mmCM for all FW when you have to install their CFW for their dongle and psp/psp fonctions is very useless and idiot
hence if someone can confirm this Dongle CObra usb can work with this mmCM whatever the FW (OFW3.41-CFW3.55) ; i will be grateful (even if I wont buy it lol, I am against DRM business of hackers)
and what about BDEMU2 -hermes payload - PL3? are they removed or still on mmCM like v2.9?
NB: DEANK don't bother to justify you because your work with CObra Team, all the PS3 scene/Devs/Hacker are looking for money, it is normal that you are also bit by the cobra giving you the taste of money , hence be proud of what your have done and not with who you do it because your MultiMan (cobra) manager is the best even if you gave up the PS2 function for your new team. even being sale out, your manager it the best and thanks for this homebrew
Deank, tell your cobra team that a dongle for 3.41 using this mmCM without their useless CFW will be a good gift for us in 2012 and we will forget that you work for them

2.) Cobra released cmMM, when people assumed it was you who created it, you didn't admit that it was you, you spoke of how you were glad that "someone else" took up "your work", you pretended someone else created it, knowing all along that it was you who created it.
3.) Its no secret that you always wanted money for mM, you complained about not receiving any donations, etc.
4.) You deleted mM of Google Code.
5.) You release mM 4.0 under Cobra's name. solidifying that you indeed worked for a DRM dongle creator, now don't try and deceive anyone and say you did tyhat sh*t for free, Cobra payed you for mMCM 3.0 to 4.0.
6.) My personal belief is that the only reason you released mmCM is because people like [MENTION=134644]CrashSerious[/MENTION] were calling you out on Twitter, stating that you sold out, so you had to redeem yourself, by releasing a "free" version of mMCM.
Finally, i don't care or have a problem with you earning money of Cobra, what annoys me is that you deceived your followers, by pretending that you were going off to rewrite your code, then going and joining the ranks of Cobra team.
Anyhow, thats me out for a couple of weeks, i said i was doing it a few days ago.
The sell outs, the DRM dongles, True Blue, JB-King, have goten under my skin too much, its making me be a bigger ass hole than i already am and its making me nasty to people on IRC, so i need a break, so see you in a couple of weeks

Well on a semi-better note. I emailed the cobra team and asked if some how the app/home and package install will be left there. While I wrote them that email I figured I ask about 3.60+ support and they said they are working on it. This is what they said "3.We investigate the way to add this feature and as soon as we have more info the web site will be updated." So here is to hoping.
01-13-2012

maybe im just a drama whore but I'd like to know who the developers are on Team Cobra, and im too much of a silly to figure out how to google them
can anybody lmgtfy for me ? :P
One one side, I can kind of agree with how [MENTION=114607]deank[/MENTION] decided to go about this. In a world that's full on hate, why would he admit to what he did? If he does/did/whatever it would just pretty much exile him.
Myself, I would probably stay under the covers too, just because this scene is full of whining maggots.
I'm almost ashamed to have been a part of this for so long after all of the bullshiddery started happening. The one scene that I have ever been partially involved with (well besides old warez scenes but that's ancient history, and even then, I was just a boob in the front :P) and it collapses soon after becoming part of it.
You see a lot of things like this though. And Dean, im not labeling you as selling out or whatever. I don't have any real information and haven't kept up with everything, but I would never fault you for leaving for better things. You have to put yourself before others, and if you have to step on some toes to do so, sometimes that's what you have to do (after all, it's just some stupid internet "Scene", I cant remember what member mentioned about the likes of a scene or what he said). It's hard emotionally and mentally sometimes but, if the outcome is greater in the long run, more power to you.
Speaking on the donation thing, I just wanted to give a random story.
I live in a more upper-class neighbourhood in my city; I'm in Canada. We would be contacted by various charities to do door-to-door donation soliciting for Heart-And-Stroke and others. What I've come to notice, is that there's maybe 5% (if that) of the people in our neighbourhood who were willing to donate. Everybody else either said that they donated at the office, or wouldn't even answer their door.
We went campaigning in middle to lower income neighbourhoods, and got probably more than 20x the donations we did in our own 'hood. It's kind of pathetic.
The people who have money to give, don't want to. The people who don't have money to give, WILL GIVE what they don't have.

Also some stuff leak out which prove directly that you are involved in this release.
Nobody is sad about you or losing his faith for you, but it's sad the fact that people lie and return putting the blame on others for their own choice.
I highly doubt that anyone of us would bash you if you had come out with a post saying:
"Guys, I don't know how you feel about it but I had an intresting converstation with Cobra team and they asked me to work with them and since latelly my economics are bad, I couldn't resist on agreeing."
Tell me, would anyone hate you for that? Also if people didn't care and didn't believe in you and multiMan I doubt that Cobra team would approach you or something of what happens like right now would happen. This is a result of love, not hate, love pains sometimes too.

I received an email from Cobra Team and they confirm that nothing changed
moreover it is just another MOD of multiman with updates and functions that doesn't work without dongle but also WITHOUT CFW 3.55 COBRA which is double useless.
so why his release?
this version is just a fake because it doesn't do what it does lol

If you would pay attention, you would know that greg doesnt pick battles, people just drag him in there when he speaks his mind. :P
Thats what i like about the guy, he doesn't just states his opinion, he does it with conviction <---- i really hope this sentence is correct.....
Also, gregory, it's sad to see you leave, if only for a little break. It's a shame a "scene" can do that to people....
I always enjoyed your honest opinion, how ever you stated it.

Its a shame that a grown man cant admit the truth, you'd think at your age you would be capable of that, guess not, oh well, keep treating the people that love your work like dummies, they enjoy it.
But ok i will play your game
deank never worked with Cobra, everyone else in the scene are stupid and tell lies, only dean tells the truth...
Oh and people like me are few, because the peasants im surrounded by, don't like honesty, they enjoy being lied to, they are willing to buy DRM dongles.
Anyhow, as i said im done with this thread, stop dragging me back, i don't want to read more of your lies, i don't have time or patience to fight with you and if it comes down to it, i will give my position up here as this is not the scene i joined in 2008, people were more honest then, we had people wanting to Hack the PS3 for the sake of it, now its all just money.

I dont think to fight on a debate and waste time to tell he is wrong or a liar or business man will change the fact that money rules the world and I follow some devs on twitter claiming there are against this hack business but do nothing to eradicate it like the beginnig when they jailbreak the psjailbreak dongle
you are like DOn Quichotte fighting against a windmill and to be hungry will not change this issue, the only solution is to break their business and make their specific functions runs dongleless but you can't, nobody can't and maybe your feel powerless and frustrated that urge you to be hungry and disrespect those who works for money.
I don"t have cobra or trueblue and no CFW lol because I am against this business but I respect the guy for his work and not the guy for his money. and about dongles, I am sad that there are DRM but hoping that a good dev will be brave to break it and everyone will be happy but don't tell me there is no good dev to hack this Hack of DRM-DOngles.
maybe you have to motivate people around do to work on this issue, il will be productive instead of spending time to be hungry.

I am very rarely wrong, i usually have something to back myself up with, but if this turns out that i am wrong, i will publicly apologise and [MENTION=1]Pirate[/MENTION] can take my moderator status and my News Writing privelages as it would be clear i am not worthy of having them.

01:26 PM
imho u will loose games/z folder if u delete MM but not if u update/reinstall & it was like this around year ago so mayB it changed same like "PS3 scene" did
i wonder why D didnt join any group b4 cause ppl *****ed even about updates & only hope is that Cobra will join TB so at least we have 2 buy only 1 dongle
01-13-2012
01:31 PM
it is the only way to tell a lesson to Dongle Creators that everytime you come back, WE all will bust open your device because one guy is not enough and I am sure many devs can help and this only way to fight the dongle creators by threatening them that the PS3 scene dont negociate with them lol
it is a fantasm because I am sure their devices will never be bust-opened because cobra is nearly one year old hence it has made a lot of money and I am sure Trueblue will live until the same period or even more because Devs doesnt want really to bust open their device because it will lead to piracy/warez which I think is the main reason their devices are not bust-opened.
for example , about TrueBlue; why to bust open this device ? to share the exploit of TrueBlue but I saw in ps3devwiki that all game patched by TrueBlue are resigned Dongleless hence it is known the exploit or tools to resign them but not shared to fight this one DRM Dongle or maybe they are Liars on ps3devwiki
I am sorry, but finally there is no way to fight te DRM Dongle Creators and I want to add that between "give donations" seeing nothing for more than one year" VS "pay a dongle" making them to play New backup : their choice is fastly made unfortunately.

01-13-2012
02:05 PM
Do not apologize, stick to your rant, because its true. you speak your mind, even when it goes against the crowd. you bring out the haters. but those haters are mostly blind sheep. It sickens me, Dean Mislead and was deceitful. Period. And whats really disgusting is the deank fanclub that can not allow someone to say something that puts their leader in a bad light.
Apprantly you are easy to hate on because CrashSerious also said he sold out and you don't see the fanclub on him.
I agree with what you said greg exept the part of still respecting him. I Respected him. no longer, Just because he released multiman does not mean he gets to treat people like that. It is a slap in the face and his sheep just say thanks and asks for another.
I remember the fiasco back when people thought They stole it from him, and they started complaining and defending him...and some Hating on him. and instead of saying the truth he said
I think dean is skilled, but now I think of him as Math, Skilled but comes with drama.
I think this is all a real shame. Drama that could have been avoided.
I wonder if it will be the same when the rest of the crew for Cobra and True blue is discovered. will there be forgiveness or hate?
01-13-2012
02:07 PM
@ -> Deank
You're right in your assumption that no matter what you do people will complain as this is a fact of life and the more "famous" you get the more negative attention seekers will deface your name and work. Part of this fame is learning when and when not to respond to these sorts.
Seeing the headline about a new variation of Multiman made me really happy until I started to read comments. I expected to read stuff about the few new features and how the program works, etc ... but instead I stumbled into a immature argument over you. Other sites these sorts of outbursts are non-existent. It seems like ps3hax is a breeding ground for spectators and attention seeking little kids who state they dislike the scene due to the same actions they participate in.
A prime example is this "super size me" ego moderator GregoryRasputin. He sways from supporting the popular majority on any given topic that he participates in these childlike arguments and will back down in a corner if put in one. His comments fuel the fire that sparks the lights in the mouths of these children who bash you and others. As a moderator he should be more stable, less hot headed and more of a leader then a hater.
I myself will refrain from posting anymore or visiting this site due to the previously mentioned moderator and the majority of it's users. There is nothing here you can't find elsewhere with less fuss.
Deank, let these kids wallow in their own ****e and they will eventually consume themselves and the site will be no more. It's a waste of time.
(I now expect this post to be promptly deleted and/or my account banned which would further fortify my opinion of the leadership on this joke of a scene site - ps3hax.com. Can you take the same ****e you spit out with dignity or bury it like cowards?)

Back to the topic in hand.
From what my mere intelligence understands, this updated version of MM (possibly made by Deank or not) comes with Cobra features. HOWEVER these features can only be used with a Cobra Dongle thing and to use the dongle with mmCM you have to be on the cobra CFW.. is that right?
So all n all, the new free mmCM for normal CFW rebug, kneaw etc.. is just like the old MM but it comes with a new logo and a bunch of new features us normal users can't use.
Why does this sound similar to Sonys normal firmware updates. Yes kiddies have a new update that has a couple of supposed "new" features but unless you paying for it (Playstation+) they really aint no use to you.
01-13-2012
02:18 PM
Let's say worst case scenario Deank is helping Cobra. I don't see how it's selling out when the latest version of MM is still free. If Deank was making newer versions without helping Cobra, you still wouldn't get Cobra features. So working on the assumption that Deank is helping them it would look like he's still trying to give both sides what they want. Apparently that wouldn't be enough though. It doesn't appear that any drama is coming from Deank himself but, more so from the posts creating drama...much ado about nothing.

Agree 100% with this post. I disagree with a lot of things Greg does/writes (though I agree with a lot more than I disagree) but I respect that he always, no matter what, stands up for what he believes in and will always speak the truth. I think PS3hax would be a much sorrier place without him.
On topic, Don't really see the point in this, as I understand it's just MM with cobra features which can't be used if you don't have a Cobra? Seems more like an advert for Cobra than something which helps the scene.
P.S. I think Deank has done a fantastic job over the years and respect him 100% for his work. If he has "soldout" (for want of a better word) it's a shame but them's the breaks, he doesn't owe us anything and everybody has bills to pay.
Would be nice to have a clear explanation from him regarding the situation but that's up to him if he wants to provide it.
01-13-2012
03:01 PM
So now this goes from calling Deank a sellout to Berating Greg's opinion. nice. this is getting the scene no where. BTW, for people who keep saying that Deank is a sell out, read this: http://www.ps3hax.net/showthread.php?t=30723&page=11. make sure you scroll down to his remarks.

03:13 PM
I don't think you, greg, respect deank at all. If you do, i'd hate to see how you disrespect someone. Again, though, with the homophobia? What if he is gay and likes to do that? Your diss just turns into, well, what you do best, ignorance.
Have any feature questions been answered about not having the dongle? This thread has been out of hand since it even started.

Hey i have Tons of respect for you.. I don't care if they say you "Sold Out" .. I wouldnt even call it selling out, if you are working with them
Say he is working with Cobra.. Deank just threw the scene a bone..
Before did MM support cobra..? NO ..
Why is it up to Deank to give us Cobra features? Hasn't he done enough for all of us.. With no Deank we would be using Rogero Manager (which is a good choice but MM is far better, IMO ) Deank even help Rogero with things.. So he is not a SELFISH person at all...
Deank isnt holding back the scene.. IF he is working with cobra he just gave cobra users a better option... and yet gave all the new features excluding cobra to the scene...
FEatures he didnt create? so anywork that was done by him is OURS to ENJOY !!!!
[MENTION=7773]GregoryRasputin[/MENTION]
Say you are wrong.. How are you helping the scene ?
By pissing off one of the great PS3 devs..
Deank, GR doesnt Speak for all of us.!!!!!!!
Deank i will take your word for it, because you have been so loyal to the scene.. But if you are working with them, best of luck because i know it was in the best intentions..
BTW @ GR.. attacking members is a violation of forum rules..
Maybe have some respect for a guy who has NO DOUBT increased traffic here by making his home here..
Have some respect for a guy who has put 3500 hours into the scene ...
Best of wishes and i hope you continue your work for the PS3 scene deank
Have loved all of your HARD WORK
MUCH RESPECT DEANK

3500 hours... That says alot.. And i dont doubt if it is acually more..

I would luv to see hime even come close to what you have created
Yes i would pay/free either way is all good with me 
I would be sad without multiMAN, honestly .I don't care what you been up to ,i hope you are *HAPPY* -> This is all i like to say. Thanks for everything you have done for the scene & if ever a breakthrough in the feature, i would love to see you back with multiMAN on a new FW, if that can ever be
01-13-2012
05:19 PM
All I will say is that I think Greg is a good mod, never had a problem with him and I agree with a lot of things I have read by him around the forums.
Deank is like the Sir Alex Ferguson of the PS3 scene - the best for what he does and contributes and a LEGEND, thank you for your amazing creations!
Cobra team have given me and others EXACTLY what we have wanted from our PS3s - the ability to truly live up to a marketing tagline ironically by Sony - "it only plays everything". Thanks to Cobra I can play region-free PS1/PS2/PS3/PS3/Blu-ray/DVD media whenever I like and when I originally bought the dongle months ago I was just grateful for playing PS1 backups. Their support is phenomenal and they're the only people I would genuinely pay a premium to regarding the PS3 hacking scene.
But to those who b*tch and moan about things being given to you that you wouldn't have got in the first place AND in some cases for free - **** all of you.
The end.
