From deank: A lot of stuff fixed (except the one that it always forgets to apply the correct setting for subtitle OUTLINE/SHADOW).
You can get it online too.
Installation: Save the downloaded file as: /dev_hdd0/game/BLES80608/USRDIR/SHOWTIME.SELF
Since version 02.05.00 of multiMAN you can update your SHOWTIME within multiMAN, by going to XMMB Video tab -> Press [TRIANGLE] while "Start Showtime" is selected -> Update.
