deank stated to the PlayStation 3 scene that he was not in bed with Cobra (aka

CrashSerious appear to think otherwise, to quote via Twitter:
"Huge thanks to deank for leaving the scene and selling out to Cobra [/satire]"

I hope it won't be too much $$...
I tried adding game_bg_overlay=0 to the config.bin file but that didn't work either. There used to be a view mode called "Game list (user background)" but it's gone now.
What I'm trying to do is to get something like this working again since Deank removed that view mode. I find it odd how you can change the background for every view but that one now.
The reason I want this is because there is something wrong with that specific view, that makes the image not change to the selected game if you move through your list too fast.
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?
