Question about using ISOs

Control your emotions. With that attitude you may get less help in the future. They're only trying to help, even if their response is not what you expected, you just wait patiently for the correct answer or try to find it yourself.

He was told I didn't want to use anything but sman, and then he goes on to recommend almost every other application out there. He was barely on topic. That's trolling to me I don't care what anyone says. It's like ADD can't focus on the topic at hand going on a tangent. If you don't want to help me anymore because of that don't. Had nothing to do with you.

I know. There are more polite ways to say the same. :eagerness:

I was not talking about my help. I was meaning getting help in general from others to people showing attitude.

Though, I don't know if that will lead to less file corruption (what it does do is speed up the reading process since there are less files to look for, I think).

It will not and doesn't matter. Backup Managers nor ISO itself aren't self-aware and cannot determine if some files is corrupted (without additional validation system like checksums, par, snapshots on fs side etc.). Integrity of disc image can be quickly check but still it is not very reliable. His state completely doesn't make sense. There is no difference if file became corrupted or part of disc image. Consequences will be the same in both cases, and both needs additional way to validating.

If you felt that I derailed your thread, I deeply apologize. I think I may have something similar to ADD since I've been known to go on tangents during conversations. I had given you what I thought was the answer to your question in my first post, and since you didn't comment on it I thought your issued had been solved. The only loader I recommended to you was MGZ, because of its GUI; I recommended Irisman to Coldheart, and said that if you ever wanted to use NTFS (in the future, now, doesn't matter) that you might prefer using anything but multiMAN.

I did have an answer to some of the other threads you opened, but to be honest I didn't want to give any information if you were going to react like this. Again, I apologize for the trouble.

There is no trolling in this forum, any attempt gets stamped out fairly quickly by the moderation team. Proposing solutions & alternatives making sense is healthy for the community, others will read this thread & benefit from all the ideas.

@AlexRhine was only trying to help, like everyone else in this thread who spent some of their free time on your problems, yet even after he apologised, being real gracious about it all imho, you keep hitting that nail & now you are telling @aldostools, a respected & experienced community contributor who also happen to be helping you, to mind his own business?

Strictly speaking, it may or may not have anything to do with Aldo however it has everything to do with the moderation team so on the team's behalf I can tell you that Aldo's friendly warning was correct.
You can do what you want within the forum guidelines constraints but with this kind of attitude, I would expect little from forum members having read this thread in the future.

Here's my problem: lot of games in iso splitted to fat32 on ntfs hdd, multiman cant see those games.

Have you run prepISO for the drive? It is needed for it to see the games on the drive. And I have been having troubles with multiMAN myself with Cobra 8.3 so I switched to IRISMAN and all my issues went away. DeanK has not updated the app in a while. Not sure why the issues popped up but went with a maintained manager and has native support for NTFS drives.

When multiMAN starts, it executes /dev_hdd0/game/BLES80608/USRDIR/sys/prepNTFS.self to scan the content in NTFS.
That self is an early version of prepNTFS that doesn't support split ISO, exFAT and other features that I added to prepISO.

I compiled a version of prepISO that should be compatible with multiMAN that adds support for split ISO on NTFS, exFAT, etc.
Replace the file in the path above with the file in the attachment.

Note: Fake ISOs are scanned but multiMAN does not support them.

EDIT: Fixed cached file format used by multiMAN. It is important to note that the file format is different to the format used by webMAN MOD and may cause a crash to "Connect the controller using a USB cable, and then press PS button." screen if a game scanned with multiMAN is mounted by webMAN MOD and viceversa.
