Ok, I finally got multiMAN to read my roms. I had to delete my original options.ini and make it just like my options_default.ini (even though i thought that the options_default.ini took precedence over the regular options.ini but, whatever...) but have now run into another problem.
Where does multiMAN want your snes srams to be? I dont want to lose all my snes9x saves.
Question: I have firmware 3.55 and MultiMan 02.00.02 and everything works fine EXCEPT: on my usb drive I have several games that I 'copied' over, on a few I get this error: "can't launch games with big files, use Hermes option for BD-Emulator type in setting XMMB column".
The usb drive is a 250 gigger and fat32... some of the games work from there... just not the big ones like UFC or call of duty 4 due to file size. How do I fix this? I am a noob. I had to take my unit to get it "fixed". My thoughts are move all the files back to the internal drive, then format the usb to NTFS and reshuffle? can somebody please shoot me or walk me through this? Than You
Thank you for all of your work deank , i have a quick question about showtime. I can watch without any problems mkv files if they are inside a usb pendrive but when i try to make it read from my 1 tb external hard drive (formatted into nfts with the procedure to work with ps3) they won't show up. What can i do? or should i contact Showtime programmer? Thank you very much for your nswer and your work.
NTFS access is for copying files in the File Manager only as the support is built ino MM itself and not into CFW / payload hence it couldn't work outside of MM / while running any other app or game.

To utilize the RETRO column you must have multiMAN-friendly SNES9x emulator version installed. If you don't have one, here is a current build:

BUG FIX for the Retro column cache: I found out what was wrong with the retro column and the cache file. The problem manifests only when user doesn't go to the retro column. Then an empty cache file is created and next time nothing shows. It is okay now, so you can safely update to get the fix.
Here is a quick fix. It is also available via online update for users which are still on 02.00.02.
Dean, can I just install the version 02.00.03 over the version 02.00.02? or do I need to uninstall the version 02.00.02 before intall this last version? If do not it is possible to develop just an update file?
