ManaGunZ is a AIO (All-in-one) type Homebrew, this backup manager on steroids is an iris Manager Fork with a bit of a different appericnace and many unique functions and features that normally would take other tools for the PC to accomplish.
Note: This Video Demonstration is of Version 1.00 -
Game settings
Direct Boot It allow you to launch the game directly after mounting it. There isn't lot of game which support it (every Lego games works with), with this you don't have to go back to the XMB to launch the game.
Clean Syscall It disable peek & poke syscall, especially syscall 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 35, 36, this syscall doesn't exist in a OFW. So, this option prevent you to be banned from PSN (especially with Black Ops II) but this isn't guaranted, risk 0 with a CFW doesn't exist. Moreover there is soooo many way to detect a CFW...
Change IDPS It change your IDPS in the lv2
Ext. Game Data It allow you to install gamedata in your usb device instead of inside your system. Basically , it redirect the path : "/dev_hdd0/game" to "/dev_usb000/GAMEI"
Payload Here you can choose which payload it will use to mount your game. I don't really know if a payload is better than another... from my experience, I always saw same results with every payloads You can choose the payloads
- Iris
- multiMAN
- Cobra
- Mamba
BD Emulation Here you can choose which type of emulation it will use to mount you game. This option allow to make some game working without any issue. This option is available for JB games only. You have the choice between 3 possibilities :
- None : There isn't any "special emulation", the path "/dev_bdvd" is just redirected to the path of the game.
- BD-Mirror : it patch the mount table in the lv2 to remplace the device dev_bdvd or dev_ps2disk for internal by the device where is stored the backup. This option works fine in extern only if there is only 1 device plugged.
- BD-EMU : It redirect the path of the libfs.sprx to the path of a libfs patched.
Patch libfs This option is available for JB games and if you choose "Emulation : BD-EMU". It allow you to choose which patched libfs do you want to use. I found 3 way too patch it from : MM, Iris and ReactPSN. I don't know if there is a patch better than an others.
Mount /app_home Basically, this is a redirection of the patch /app_home to the path "/dev_bdvd". This option allow to make some game working without any issue.
Use patched plugin This option is available if you choose "Yes" to mount "/app_home". The path "/app_home" is remplaced by "/dev_bdvd" inside the plugin explore_plugin.sprx . Also, the icon of the "/app_home" in the XMB is changed to a disk. Basically, it redirect the path of the original plugin to patched plugin

Theme For each user interface, you can choose a theme.
You can create your own theme and you just have to put it to the following path : "dev_usbXXX/Themes/name_of_the_UI/name_of_your_theme"
For example, if you want to use your theme named "Example" for the UI "List", then put your images inside the directory named "Example" and then move your folder to the path "dev_usbXXX/Themes/List/Example".
You can also use multiMAN themes (*.thm) or original themes (*.p3t). Just put your themes in the folders "Themes". For example, "dev_usbXXX/Themes/MyTheme.thm" or "dev_usbXXX/Themes/MyTheme.p3t"
Then you just have to load your theme in ManaGunZ settings. Once you loaded it, it will be converted if needed and stored in ManaGunZ directory. So, you won't need to plug your device to use this theme anymore.
The name of the images of the theme can't be changed. For each theme you have a list of image.
