AVCHD / GAME / FILE manager (mod of OBM by dean)

[muny21]

is the remote play feature for your next update because it does not work. it says this content cannot be used during remote play on my psp? also i keep forgetting to ask about this. is it possible in file manager to add a select all or select multiple files option instead of having to copy one file at a time. thanks.

[deank]

wow so multiman works from the psp now. damn that is awesome. great work.

It will be available shortly in 01.10.02

Awesome Dean

Another short question: Is it possible to add support for other controllers? I'm thinking about the BD Remote.

I tried to add the BD Remote a month ago, but I have no info on the specs. I tried (I'D LOVE TO USE THE BD REMOTE instead of the clumsy game pad) but it didn't work. I'll give it a try soon again.

Remote play will be available shortly. In file-manager... I may add such feature, until then you can copy folders and files, not a selection.

I just updated to 1.10.01.

And every time i start MultiMan now it scans for something. It take a lifetime to start the manager. First its just a black screen for 30-40sec or so. Then a scan index before it starts.

What is this? And can i turn it of?

And a second question: Is there someway to chance the background. I tried to replace the AVCHD.PNG without luck

[deank]

I'm sorry but you have something wrong in your options.ini.

**

First post updated with links to 01.10.02

01.10.02 - Added REMOTE PLAY to multiMAN and the games it launches
01.10.02 - Left analogue stick now moves the mouse like the RIGHT one to be compatible with PSP in remote-play mode for FILE MANAGER in multiMAN
01.10.02 - Fixed issue with "CF Card icon" displaying when PS3 has no internet connection (and possible black-screen lock-up).

Thanks to point me in the right direction!

Somehow i hade a old version of Options.ini. Did a new one from Options_defult.ini and it work perfectly..

But i still have two questions.. I cant find the folder that contain the games background. I recall that it used to be the cache folder. Where can i find them now?

And the background for the Manager? Is that it is? Or can i change it?

One more small issue:
When in setup screen [L2] and pressing PS button application freezes.

Great work!!! PERFECTall-in-one solution!

Here i don't have this problem, i can open the setup screen and it does not freeze. Maybe is your payload.

Don't press [PS] while in the [SETUP] (L2) mode - there is no reason to. It will freeze also while doing some other things, so just make sure it is in normal mode (displaying games or file manager) and then use the PS button.

edit: Now when you mentioned it I know how to fix all possible scenarios with [PS] button being pressed. That will be in the next release.

Thanks to point me in the right direction!

The manager's background is in USRDIR named PICBG.PNG. That is for mode#3.

Hey Deanrr,

I gave bowsing UDF BD-Rs another try and noticed that you can indeed access all BD-R subfolders from the XMB, under Photo, Music and Video. (Unlike when using the multiMAN File Manager, where you can only access 2 levels)

So whatever the reason for it not working in multiMAN is, it appears to be unrelated to PS3's GameOS; otherwise it wouldn't be possible to browse data BD-Rs from the XMB.

Unfortunately there haven't been any updates regarding this since the first release of multiMAN. Don't you think you could give it another look? A working file manager would make multiMAN the most powerful PS3 utility.
