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

[PSPSwampy]

Connect up via FTP and "download" your /dev_hdd0/game/BLES80608/USRDIR/options.ini (and options_default.ini) file(s) and check the games locations are set correctly.
i.e. the sections that start...
# Backup games to these folders:
and
# Main search folders:
or
# Secondary search folders:

FYI mine are set as follows:

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

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

# Secondary search folders:
#
hdd_home2=/dev_hdd0/GAMEZ
hdd_home3=/dev_hdd0/game/OMAN46756/GAMEZ
hdd_home4=/dev_hdd0/game/LAUN12345/GAMEZ
hdd_home5=/dev_hdd0/game/GAIA01985/BDRIPS
usb_home2=/GAMEZ

I think they are the defaults - don't thnk i ever changed mine - maybe you did though?

p.s.
I put my games in the /dev_hdd0/GAMES/ folder as that's outside of any manager path and should (fingers crossed) prevent uninstall issues!
- Chances are your games were previously in the \USRDIR\ of the application folder (e.g. LAUN12345\USRDIR\Games\.... ) and this is why they were uninstalled ?

But take my word on this with a little pinch of salt - i'm not the expert on MM/backup managers in general - don't use them too much

My options.ini and options_default.ini is fine. MM has been working great for me until the update. I actually had a different backup manager when i was still using a dongle and on 3.41FW a few months ago. I think it was Open Backup manager that i was using at the time that i deleted and it took my games along with it.

Any who, I'll probably move the GAMES folder into another folder allowing it to become a sub folder and editing the ini's accordingly.

[PSPSwampy]

Ok no worries - just worth checking (especially after an update)

Good luck sorting it anyway.

Someone who knows more about MM (maybe even the great man himself) may have a better idea.

Got it working again. I just uninstalled then reinstalled Multiman and everything is back to normal.

Thanks Dean - constant progess - you're unstopable ...

[Armen1er]

I don't get it dean, we can only use one of the emulators at a time because you have 3 different packages each with a different emulator.. i'm just curious why is that?

[Zackandjon]

Love it, encore! Alright I am amazed at the turnout of this program and the collaboration. Well I have a few questions and maybe a suggestions.

When I set the multiman mega package theme to something else (other then the original which I have used the whole time) It is suppose to change the complete look of multiman right? I see pictures of your XMMB all the time and they change, but mine does not is that because I need to download it?

Because I have the mega package and some came with it and my XMMB stays the same all the time (I keep it locked on that because my son plays with MM as well). I change the theme, even reset it but the XMMB stays the same, other screens change and that is where I little glitch happens. As I change from one theme to another some of the screens don't change, so I will have metroid music and a zelda background.

I installed the snes emulator, then the sega emulator, and I can only see the snes games no sega games and I am just about to install the nes pkg to see if that works.

My suggestions was that when highlighting the retro game add a button for a gui of adding / selecting which codes you want before you start the game. Or even in this for instance menu the ability to change the title or download the cover from a database.

I have to use the computer to DL anything because wired/wireless on MM it crashes and doesn't work causing me to Hard Reset the PS3.

I don't get it dean, we can only use one of the emulators at a time because you have 3 different packages each with a different emulator.. i'm just curious why is that?

You've got it wrong - there are FOUR packages - one for multiMAN itself and 3 for retro emus - 1 one for each. Simply install all 4 of them and then you can run each emu or retro game directly from MM or each emu individually from XMB

I was thinking that for a sec wasn't sure, i got it now thx for the quick response grandpahomer and MM is the greatest hands down. cheers
