BD-Mirror option now supports USB HDDs mounted as /dev_usb000 to /dev_usb127
BD-Mirror option uses different approach now and doesn't move the PS3_GAME folder of USB games and doesn't modify the mount table
After using BD-Mirror for USB games, the usb drive is still accessible in XMB (Video/Music/Photo/Saves)
Improved disc-less support with BD-Mirror option enabled

USB Ports issues:

When using more than one USB device mM will disconnect/reconnect them from/to the USB bus in the proper order
This fixes games that crash when started from USB when multiple devices are connected

NTFS/PFS usage:

It is now possible to use any NTFS usb drive without configuring its Vendor/Device IDs in USB.CFG
When switching to NTFS/PFS mode use only one USB HDD connected (mM supports up to 2 partitions: FAT32+NTFS, NTFS+NTFS, FAT32+FAT32)
To access the contents of NTFS drives use mmOS and /pvd_usb000 /pvd_usb001 (games from NTFS drives won't show in other display modes)

Other:

Better support for data CD/DVD/BD discs and improved "Enable Direct Disc Access" function
Improved BD-Mirror function for games on internal HDD
Games started from mmOS icons/shortcuts handle BD-Mirror/Ext.Game Data options properly
Online update server updated (5320 PS3 game covers and 3420 PS1/PS2 game covers)
Updated showTIME media player (for mM) to version 04.01.264
Updated 8 translation files

Install Package Files (standalone application):

Supports split pkg files named in the following format: filename.pkg.0 -> filename.pkg.63, filename.pkg.001 -> filename.pkg.064, filename.pkg.66600 -> filename.pkg.66663
Upon launch/refresh the following folders are scanned: /dev_usb***/, /dev_usb***/PKG, /dev_usb***/packages, /dev_hdd0/PKG, /dev_hdd0/packages
Updated stDISC application (better drive reset timing and support for 4.30CFW)
Updated gameDATA, bdRESET and lastGAME applications to support 4.30CFW
Updated showTIME media player (standalone) to version 04.01.264 (CEX/DEX)

The showtime version provided with mM as standalone acts as the build-in one so it returns to mM. If you wish to quit to XMB either use the official build or use {PS} button -> Quit to XMB.

About NTFS - if you previously configured usb.cfg just stick to it. Without USB.CFG only two partitions will be available - that's it.

This works perfectly I already got Manhunt 2 and Scarface working on 4.30.2 REBUG with the 4.40 Spoofer!

Today PlayStation 3 developer deank has released multiMAN v04.30.00 which now includes support for loading PS2 Classics among the changes outlined below.

Download: LANG_CZ.TXT by [B by sinsizer

MultiMAN v04.30.00 Changelog:

• Added support for various 4.40CFWs
• Added support for loading PS2 Classics (from /dev_hdd0/PS2ISO) (thanks flatz & ing.pereira)

multiMAN ver 04.30.00 BASE (20130324) Includes:

• multiMAN ver 04.30.00 BASE CEX (20130324).pkg
• multiMAN ver 04.30.00 BASE DEX (20130324).pkg
• multiMAN ver 04.30.00 BASE STEALTH (20130324).zip
• Showtime 04.03.100 [CEX].pkg
• Showtime 04.03.100 [DEX].pkg

Also available online and in the WEB column for those who want to test PS2 Classics. What I added to mM is just a simple function to link the iso.bin.enc files to the placeholder app. Whatever it requires is not changed. I don't have any ps2 classics to test anything. mM already has a PS1+PS2 database of almost 4000 covers (already available in the FULL version and online), hence few lines to link the encrypted isos to the placeholders. The haters are barking at the wrong tree.

You need http://www.mediafire.com/?zi9iscna23w4prn (PS2_Classics_Placeholder_R2.rar by CaptainCPS-X) installed and your ps2 classics in /dev_hdd0/PS2ISO as subfolders. It is also available for download in mM's WEB column.

If you don't have memory-cards, mM will create them for you under SAVEDATA subfolder in the game folder.

Use the following structure format:

/dev_hdd0/PS2ISO/Test Game (simple naming format - no cover download)
/dev_hdd0/PS2ISO/Test Game/ISO.BIN.ENC
/dev_hdd0/PS2ISO/Test Game/COVER.JPG (not mandatory, but if present will have higher priority than downloaded covers)
/dev_hdd0/PS2ISO/Test Game/SAVEDATA/SCEVMC0.VME (mM will create it if missing)
/dev_hdd0/PS2ISO/Test Game/SAVEDATA/SCEVMC1.VME (mM will create it if missing)

or even better, the recommended format:

/dev_hdd0/PS2ISO/[SCUS-97194] NFL GameDay 2003 (mM will use the gameID and will download the cover if available)
/dev_hdd0/PS2ISO/[SCUS-97194] NFL GameDay 2003/ISO.BIN.ENC
/dev_hdd0/PS2ISO/[SCUS-97194] NFL GameDay 2003/COVER.JPG (not mandatory, but if present will have higher priority than downloaded cover)
/dev_hdd0/PS2ISO/[SCUS-97194] NFL GameDay 2003/SAVEDATA/SCEVMC0.VME (mM will create it if missing)
/dev_hdd0/PS2ISO/[SCUS-97194] NFL GameDay 2003/SAVEDATA/SCEVMC1.VME (mM will create it if missing)

Basically you only need the ISO.BIN.ENC and nothing else:

/dev_hdd0/PS2ISO/MyPS2Classic/ISO.BIN.ENC

and mM will show "MyPS2Classic" disc icon in the RETRO column. If you name your folder with the game-id, mM will download the cover. If you put "COVER.JPG" next to the iso, mM will use it instead. That's it.
