- Multiman 4.80.00

The game is not emulated.
There is no payload.

What does "The game is not emulated." and "There is no payload" mean?

Is that when trying to play ISO games, because of no Cobra/Mamba payload?

Multiman 4.80.00 works to play games in folder format on your CFW. Just had to enable BD-ROM Emulator and reboot the PS3. Then the game showed in app/home, and if a disc is in the drive shows there also.

Nice work. Thanks for release.

it's a vanilla CFW Cobra/Mamba hasn't been fully ported over to 4.81 yet

yes

 

FYI, the link is for 4.80..

Was straight from Sony's site. i guess they did not update the link when they updated the update on the website.

That's what I figured, seems other regions get the update before we do here in US. seems they did that last time also with the announcement but not update the link

 

Im not sure about the situation with PSNPatch and Darknet 4.81 as it is a plugin and this new FW is non Cobra? Can it still be used with a loader?

its an app and/or plugin same as Sen Enabler. (plugin is optional in both).

 

lol I guess most people know that I do and planned for this fw.
Idk when/if I myself will release because these days I'm finding stuff more important than just these games...it's not as fun as used to be.besides, this might be last PS3 revision because after that ps4 pro is going to be released

Always best to go out with a new featured cfw.[emoji106] lol

 

its not about who does first but its about who does best

If you are making one which I really hope you are.. Any chance you could add a query in the network catogory so that xmpd could be installed without modding any flash files. I've also asked @Joonie if it can be added to rebug as think this is a must have in the homebrew community but obvs ill leave it upto the master himself

 

Guys, @playerkp420 or @habib please make a DB Cfw. thanks

 

Thanks for the reply guys

Hello darkjiros!

I've had problems trying to play my films in DVD video or in BD video in this CFW and the COBRA version. Always 800299d2 error appears. With others 4.81 CFW they work great so, do I've to activate something after installing this CFW?

Thanks if you could help me.

There was an error in encryption.
So I made a new encryption and a pkg.
Run pkg and choose remove to install and reboot the PS3.
