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

[calivera]

The game manager (1.07.02) can't find my external hard drive. I'm using a 2TB WD elements hard drive. The usb port is working, I tested a 8GB stick and the manager detects it fine. I tried a 500 GB hard but it couldnt find it either. Is there a size limit on hard drives? Any thoughts?

change the directory in the .ini to /GAMEZ

[calivera]

Is this what you mean?

# Backup games to these folders:
hdd_dir=/dev_hdd0/GAMEZ
usb_dir=GAMEZ

# Look for game backups recursively in these folders:
# (leave blank for USB (usb_home) root (/) folder)
hdd_home=/dev_hdd0/GAMEZ
usb_home=/GAMEZ

I should also add that I couldnt install the manager from the ext HDD, I used a 8GB stick. I`m using a Fat system with 2 usb ports

moh from psx-scene said he is collaborating with other developers to create a "unified" backup manager. drizzt is in on it. i'm just wondering if you're a part of it too. it would be great if you are.

No, I'm not. My goal was to make somewhat of useful tool, which is not just a backup manager.

to deanrr can you add covers config to the next release?

# Look for covers backups recursively in these folders:
# (leave blank for USB (usb_home) root (/) folder)
hdd_home=/dev_hdd0/BDCOVERZ
usb_home=/BDCOVERZ

thankz

hi again,

nice name btw xD (MultiMAN)

i have an idea, what do you think about an update function in MultiMAN ??

you know, your Program connect to a server (maybe your own) and checks if the files are the newest one... (maybe with download function) so its a way easier to get your updates ^^

Keep up the good work !!

Yes, I'll add new options in the in for the covers in the next update.

Yes, but for it to work it will require USB flash/stick/hdd connected to get the update saved there. Then user quits and installs it. I know of no way to initiate the update process (after download) within the application, yet.

you can write, that the user have to plug in an usb stick or something, before he can update...

and i think its no problem to quit to the xmb and press "install pgk files".. or not ?!

BTW: Thank you for your openness to new ideas.

sorry bad english

greets

Make sure the Playstation3 identifies your drive as "External" either in Video or Music/Photo tabs of XMB.

Your external USB should have at least one FAT32 formatted partition (max 512GB) - the FS should be FAT32 and NOT NTFS or fat32ext.

dean, is it possible to execute files in a ps3? maybe eboot.bin? when yes we can use your filemanager to

execute eboot.bin´s
view pictures
play mp3 files
play bink, vob and avi files
edit ascii files
decompress psarc ect.

i dream about a "totalcommander" for ps3
