All I can say is it does not work properly. It says it allows PSP support when plugging the PSP into the system. Except when I tested it...it did absolutely nothing at all. If anything it took away PSP support from my experience testing it.

Pretty sure you need to have CFW on it and change the USB mount option from memory stick to UMD.
Obviously they forgot to clarify it.
OFW does NOT allow UMD access.

OK people heres what I got so far from reading up to post 64:
Multiman is under the GNU license and that means that people are allowed to edit modify and basically alter the crap out of it but isn't allowed to be commercialized or bundled with a commercialized product without the original developers say so.
The TB and cobra are equally the same in terms of running legitimate backups and also running pirated games, regardless of features.
As of now there is no word on where Deank is and if he even was a part of this, and he will deal with it(or not) once he returns.
Cobra fans are backing up the cobra dongle and are also saying irrelevant and unfactional statements while its also the same in some case on the other side.
This is obviously good news in the overall PS3 scene and I'm guessing some are angry about the legal issues involving this topic (including myself) as a developers work is being stolen (because it is sold for profit, thereby violating the license) and put into something that one needs to purchase for its features when the original license states it is free.

PS: I have quite a headache now from many different reasons and I hope I got everything, and if I got anything wrong please say so in a kind manner as I will admit I am not right about everything-anything.

Your dead right TizzyT!

Meh,

Instead of trying figure out about if Deank did sell his soul to the Devil, why not hack or concentrate our efforts against those damn dongles - reverse engineer those f u c ks to no-end a la PSJB. Put an end to those useless dongle once and for all.

Oh, oups, where's my mind? Rationality and common sense is not something to be known around here - I'll make sure to buy those tickets before it gets sold-out for the next upcoming ps3dramaoperascene event show.

I don't really get the issue here, Cobra's version of Multiman is freely available to download from their site. If a normal user added Cobra support to opensource Multiman and freely released it would there be a problem? Obviously there will be an issue if Cobra don't release the source code though.

First of all I want to leave clear that I'm not against multiMAN or Cobra, or anything that moves the PS3 scene forward.

Now, in my opinion, I think people should stop prolonging the multiMAN source code license drama, since first of all multiMAN is not a licensed application by Sony and to compile it you need to use the 'Confidential' Sony PS3 SDK and tools (from what I understand no matter what license you use, that's not good in legal terms).

If Dean did or didn't give Cobra Team permission to use his code, then that's between Dean and Cobra team. The only one who can act here is Dean.

Anyway, 'if' they didn't ask for permission to use multiMAN code in their closed source build, then I honestly doubt Dean can proceed legally without it causing some troubles to him as well, since Dean has released binaries of multiMAN which have compiled object code (libraries, headers, etc) from the Confidential Sony PS3 SDK.

With all that said, I think Cobra Team should release the modified source code of multiMAN as an act of respect and consideration to Dean, or at least send the modified code to him.

Finally, I see the latest Cobra update as a very good one, the only thing that I don't like as a fellow programmer is to see an Open Source application go Closed Source by unofficial developers. And in other notes, I will not be able to use this for a while since my PS3 PSU died recently xD.

PS: I don't intend to cause any irritation with my comments, I'm just posting my personal opinion, so I apologize if my message seems disrespectful to anyone's opinion.

SeeYaa!

Legality of using it commercially aside, shouldn't they now release their modified source code? IF they did, would that give us a better idea of how their dongle interacts with stuff like the ps2/psp emulators?
