DeanK has released multiMAN 04.17.04. There is now also a BARE version (only 3.8MB) available for those that complained about the size of multiMAN.

multiMAN 04.17.04 update is available online (cex/dex/stealth)
multiMAN ver 04.17.04 UPD CEX (20121226).pkg (1.76MB)
http://www.sendspace.com/file/jl0lo6* Visual improvements
* Added SD/MS/CF entries in Retro
* Fade-in for game backgrounds
* Some other improvements related to copying/scanning/verifying/etc
* multiMAN “minimal”/”bare” version available (read below)=======================================
Few weeks ago some people requested a ‘minimalistic’ version of multiMAN. For them I created this package:
multiMAN ver 04.17.04 BARE CEX (20121226) (only 3.8MB)
http://www.sendspace.com/file/z6auaoThis is a skinned down version (BARE). It can be installed on any PS3 without the need of a previous mM installation. It is like a “base” but the differences are:
* Simple theme (2MB) (no theme music)
* No GUI translations (English only)
* No user fonts (only system fonts will be used)
* No PS1/PS2/PSP names/IDs database (no game names will be displayed)
* AIOMOD not included (old BD-Mirror method for USB games will be used on 4.21+CFWs)Do not use it unless you’re the one who asked for it. BARE can be installed on any firmware for normal users who don’t really need any of the listed above features. Of course NONE of these features are present in other BUMs so everyone should be happy. It can be installed on top of your current mM if you wish to test it (you will not notice much difference, because you already have the fonts/translations/aiomod/themes installed).
This bare version is suitable for:
* English speaking users
* All 3.41/3.55 (non Cobra/TB) firmwares
* All 4.21+ firmwares (disc may be required when booting bd-mirror USB games if AIOMOD.BIN is not present)
* Weeners who complain all the time that 130MB is too much for a stupid PS3 homebrew like mM=======================================

What version of mm you using LOL. I've used mm since day one of its release and it still continues to be the best, regardless of all the drama.
My mm file size is 1076mb / aka 1gb

also the base download is around 130mb

I complain why we don't have the FULL package with covers anymore?!

The latest one included the covers was v4.08.00 = 280.7MB
Also, he should ditch packing ps3tools in multiMan archive, every time I
download multiMan the 130MB, ESET complains about PS3Tools as a possible
threat (false positive maybe).
I complain, then I exist

I've never uninstalled mm, always just updated. Could be all the covers it downloaded, cause I have that set to auto download game covers. Not 100% sure, but my mm file is 1gb ^_^ lol
Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining, just informing ^_^
************* [ - Post Merged - ] *************

Mm auto downloads covers, faster and easier for deank. That way he don't have to pack so much.

BASE FULL is a little misleading. Is it base or is it Full?

I appreciate this light weight version, but why lower yourself by putting that in the changelog? Different strokes, different folks..
Thanks.

MultiMan is definitely not stupid, just a little fat. (apart from this light version which sounds great, thanks for that)

I hope this answers your question.

Its doubtful that those who complained about MM and then labeled it as bloatware will now see this light version as being a benefit or thank DeanK for his efforts in its creation, and if they do, Im certain they will then be lumped in with the rest of us who, according to one, have DeanK's ball sweat on our foreheads because we are grateful, thankful and appreciative and have no problem posting our gratitude.
Thanks again Deank for your continued support of an awesome program.

If you are unhappy with this forum, you can always go follow your benevolent leader and become a CrunchTard.

Dont mistake my post. I actually like you..............mostly, but you use your position as a moderator to push your weight around as if by doing so it will somehow make your already enormous penis that much larger, and its wrong. People should be able to tell DeanK that we appreciate his work without you coming in calling us dick suckers or worse.
Nothing I said in my innitial post here in this thread was worth mod intervention or warning.
...........but, really it doesnt matter what is right, it only matters what you believe is right.............isnt that right?

There is a difference in believing what is right and knowing what is right, its a pity you want to overlook what is right.

So much hate for a guy that fills your site with news, why is it even reported here then?
12-27-2012

Yea, but you always sh*ting him.
Sorry for saying that, but he is right.
I remember you compalining about DeanK & Cobra Team...
We all know he was worked with Cobra guys, and almost all of us hate re-drm sh*ts...
But it doesn't change anything about mM's quality.
Also, 4.17.04 is works superfast. So it's not a sh*tware or something FOR ME...
Multiman is the best homebrew for me...
If you wanna just load a game, you have a too many options.
But if you wanna do more (like FTP & File manager) you definetely need a mM...
I don't wanna install a bunch of software to do seperate things.
Which is step forwards mM to any other loader...

If you can properly decipher the english language you'll notice i never said you hate him. you will also notice i never said you are the poster of said news about Mm. i simply asked why, if there is so much discord, does his program fill this site with news?
12-28-2012
05:29 PM
"So much hate for the guy" = You hate the motherf*cker, if you can't even properly decipher your own damn use of the English language, then STFU and don't use it.
Secondly, mM does not fill this site news, we post so much more than mM.
Besides that comment you made about Cobra already proves you are an idiot, so stop typing already, before you make a bigger ass of yourself, Merry Christmas

Ok, I and others had asked for a light weight version. Deank provides a lightweight version. this shows he listens to users. so far so good.

then he f***s it up by calling everyone who wants a compact version a "weener".
I´m not using MM right now but if I was I would probably use the "weener" version, lol.
I apreciate your work Deank but with comments like that it seems your giving and pissing on us at the same time. definately unnecessary.
Oh ya, thanks for the weener version.
12-28-2012
09:44 PM
Compact version sounds nice.
Guess I'm one of those "weeners" then.
BTW, how the hell do I get rid of the annoying boot sound?
It sounds like an old Windows/Microsoft fanfare crap.
Edit: nvm, it's usdir/sys/boot.mp3
...And gone it is.

Does anyone know if you still need to install BDEMU2 if you do a new install on a PS3?
I've updated a friends console to rogero 4.30 v2.03, installed the latest mm 04.17.03 but when I try to install BDEMU2 I get the error 80029564.
But then backups seem to be working...
12-29-2012
02:47 PM
I guess i figured since you have a link to KOTD you would understand that you can "hate on" someone without hating the person. but then you must have similar delusions of grandeur and the mental ability of the prodical son.
ok i will ask this as a straight up question since you still have not answered: why is multiman news posted on this site?
Bigo93:
BDEMU is only needed if you dont have a payload with ps3 syscall36 in your dongle/cfw which rogero includes. so not needed for you.
12-29-2012
04:10 PM
Oh and you don't have any knowledge about Cobra, you have proven that and returned with the weakest rebuttal ever.
Oh and mM is posted here because someone decides to post it, that should have been obvious, but of course you aren't that bright.....
12-29-2012
07:31 PM
If you open a voting poll with all the backup managers listed on it , we would see definitively that Multiman would destroy them all to small tiny bits << its just reality nothing more ...
But I'm against monopoly , so other devs that created backup managers should try to make a fight , post better versions (themes for them,adding functions etc )and compete with it by releasing more updates and more things to them .
Though I agree that updating it frequently doesn't mean that is better but it has very strong effect on cfw users .
But the thing I hate the most is the cobra naming multiman ! Cobra is full DRM (and all agree no matter who you ask in ps3 scene).
It's integrated function also leaves room for rumors (sellout , maybe it can play cobra functions without the dongle etc etc )...
And also DeanK behavior is not much to be liked , in this case calling people that have constructive criticism "weeners" , cobra naming (MmCm) and many other cases ...

WTF are you talking abut people?
If words comes to piracy and IF you wanna play the game you ever want "you never complain about 50gb game size" but 130mb MM size is bothers you?
New MM is superfast and I confirm that, so "slowdown" is not the issue...
Is that really matter 130mb or 500mb for superfast multi tool?
Or you are one of that "ungraetfull bus***rds" who have complain about everything?
-Just like "My iPhone5 is not have that app * dammit you have a iPhone5 and you complaining about it?
12-29-2012
10:07 PM
The other thing you guys keep forgetting, is that mM would never have existed, without deank ripping off other devs work, which he is still doing to day.
But of course you guys don't care about the morals....
