** = World's first implementation
Awesome! I got this free PSN code from a card and it worked! I got it from freepsnforeverâ--� com...
How exactly do I copy games with multiman in such a way that the XMB still shows them as installed?
So which version do I actually have, and where can I manually get non-psmove update files? so what version am i on? 4.4 or 4.06?
As to what the alternative option is, only time will tell but some people suggested being able to create their own although that hasn't been implemented at this time.
I wouldn't care so much except that it also can't seem to connect to whatever server is needed to download game updates like it used to. Anyway, I got the 4.40.00 base cex pkg file and installed it.
Started mmcm again and it asked me the 3 questions and loaded the default theme. I went to system information and it still says 04.06.02 despite the xmb saying it's 4.40.00. It also still won't connect to any servers.
No there is nothing wrong with my network, I connected the ps3 a web site just fine and can ftp to and from it. What's going on here?
Update: it was working, I read all the information about 4.41 CFW and also information about MultiMan 4.40 very carefully , then I realized I miss one step as recommendation to make it working with MM 4.40, there was missing one step 4.41.1 Lite CFW.
so, I tried to install 4.41.1 Lite again after backup then install 4.41.2 Lite and then install MM 4.40 again, the BDrom working perfectly without re-enable it.
