Many of you would have ignored today's date, but it was September 23-24th last year when an anonymous developer released the source code for the FIRST PS3 GAME MANAGER application.

It was a cornerstone for all the followed development of various applications and a great inspiration for me to look again at C code and try to do something with it.

Just one year ago we've got the great applications which made all we have now possible:

* The First Open-source Backup Manager
* Comgenie's Awesome File Manager
* PS3 FTP server
* Blackbox FTP server
* JaiCrab's dev_flash on USB





I want to thank all the developers behind these great applications, which actually gave the solid ground to work on any other app around.

Thanks to PSJB, PSGroove/PSFreedom, Hermes, KaKaRoTo, flukes1, kmeaw, netkas, fail0verflow team, graf_chokolo and all the others I can't remember right now!

Thank you guys! Anonymous or not, you are those who made it possible to develop new stuff and improve while learning from your work.

multiMAN will celebrate its 1st year in just 2-3 days, too

Thank you all for letting us use our PS3 computers for so many things.

7th September, was the very first Homebrew app, created by CJCP, it was an FTP manager.

Ten day's later on the 17th of September Comgenie released his Awesome Filemanager.

So many homebrew app's and games have been released since then, so much has went on in the scene, so im going to say thanks to all involved in making it happen

STOP YOUR TOLLING

jurai was also one of the earlier Open-source Backup Manager developers.

I remember that I registered in ps3hax 1 year ago, just to help him to fix a terrible bug in the file_copy function.
...That one line fix still exists in multiMAN LOL

Happy Birthday!

if((fsiz+chunk) > msiz) chunk = (msiz-fsiz);

A bit dirty but works, eh?
