IrisManager v1.2 PS3 Game Backup Manager with Drizztz Arrives

qucik question about Iris manager and the hdd cache function for big file games. when i press play it states , game marked as unplayable, going too cache to hdd cache. then press ok and it says it will saves 2.49 gigs, and then starts copying to hdd cach.

does it copy the whole 18 gigs to hdd cache en when game finishes it will be deleted? and if you have little room on hdd for example 5 gigs , does it alllow chaching large files then the 5 gigs?

and it takes around 30 mins to do that, do i have to do that everytime before playing the game let it copy for 30 mins?

thanks man, that was helpful.

You have to go into whatever backup manager you use and pick the game from there. Some games will let you launch them from the backup manager and/or without a game disc in the system (it doesn't matter what game disc you use). But in a lot of cases (at least in my experience) this does not work.

So you may have to choose not to "direct boot" which will take you back to the XMB. If done correctly, the game you chose in the manager will now show up instead of the game that is actually in the system. I use Multiman as my backup manager, so there may be some slight differences to what I say, and what you must do. But for them most part I believe that is how a lot of the managers work.

It is also worth stating that some games will not work depending on if you are trying to run them from the PS3's HDD or an external. It all may not make sense at first, but just make sure you take time and read the instructions for whatever manager(s) you use.

ok please help.. i know I'm a noob but since i don't understand this technology talk... does when i back up my game with this software will i be able to run the game from the xmb or do i have to do some other stuff? plz help.

Thanks for replying, that is actually one thing I was wondering about, if files split with the existing pc utilities are compatible with Iris, or if we need Iris to split them.

I guess I'll have to try it over the weekend and see!
