I don't play the game online so cannot test this..

In the tools @deank released the other day you have the tool to change Game Data Mode in your XMB? What if you was to change that from HDD to USB (when booting game from disc) that way Multiman and homebrew disappear from the XMB..

Just an idea and new to all this so please don't flame if it's the stupiest idea in the world

I am now transferring my BOPS2 backup to USB, so hopefully in an hour i will report back. Great Idea,either way.

Anyone else could confirm that this method works with an account which was previously banned?

After deleting MM you can reinstall it normally can't you?

Hence why this trick is better, it hides multiman and every other homebrew app on the XMB when in USB mode. So if this pans out...no deleting/reinstalling multiman needed. I just made room on my usb for the copying my BOPS2 backup...so i will report back if this pans out and will try my two banned accounts.

from reading all the pages on here it looks like everyone had to make new accounts regardless of deleting the whole internall HDD, could you try with a new account? Really interested to see if the fix works... might play online then

As you can see, I've been wondering the same thing. Except I have an almost full 3TB hard drive and haven't been able to try. I'm interested in seeing what you find out.

ahhhh, nice to see it wasn't a stupid comment from me then - except I was thinking the other way round, changing the XMB to look for the Game Folder on the USB obviosuly it won't find multiman.

So I was thinking.
1. clean install of black ops 2 on the HDD
2. delete all previous game data
3. open multiman and bd mirror black ops 2 from external
4. at xmb change game mode to USB
5. Multiman is still there but it doesn't work, as I guess it can't find the files
6. my guess is black ops would still boot as it's on the USB HDD
7. game mode is in USB so the servers might not be able to detect multiman on the HDD

just a thought, only got the PS3 on Monday so as I said I'm new to all this..

[kevin_1351]

so your idea is kinda to set the root of the game in the usb hdd, so when it searches for the homebrew, it doesnt find anything.. right?
but how do u change the game mode in xmb?
