88w ago - Today PlayStation 3 developer deank has updated the PS3 Game Backup Manager to multiMAN version 02.06.02, which incorporates a refresh speed modification that still maintains the homebrew application's overall performance.

Download: multiMAN v02.06.02 PS3 Update (20110912-212500) (1.3 MB) / Showtime SELF Version 3.1.265.g6e201.dirty (3.95 MB) / multiMAN v02.06.02 Update OpenFTP (20110914-165700) (1.29 MB) / multiMAN v02.06.03 Update OpenPS3FTP (20110914-180000) (1.29 MB) / multiMAN v02.06.03 Update (20110915-150000) (1.29 MB)

multiMAN v02.06.02 PS3 Update (20110912-212500) Changes:

• multiMAN versions 01.10.00-02.06.00 ran in VSYNC mode (it caused barely-noticed tearing because of the double refresh rate). Latest update compensates the speed by lowering the refresh speed, while keeping the performance. It means no tearing (unless you really want it - switch with SELECT+SQUARE)..
  
• Opening a SIDE menu will make current entry icon zoom 8x and visible enough in 480p/576p modes. Looks pretty in photo, music, game/fave/retro columns.
