Multiman 04.17.00 Base disponible (maj)

DeanK, célèbre développeur Playstation 3, met à jour la nouvelle version de son application phare : Multiman. Pour rappel, cet utilitaire est issu d'un savant mélange d'Open Manager, Simple AVCHD et File Manager. Vous pourrez donc lancer des backups, regarder des vidéos au format AVCHD ou autre, gérer vos fichiers et vos dossiers et jouer à vos anciens jeux à l'aide des émulateurs compatibles avec cet homebrew.

La grosse nouveauté de cette version vient du fait que 2 PS3 se situant n'importe où dans le monde (ou en local) peuvent se connecter ensemble, et ainsi tranférer vos fichiers de l'une à l'autre sans avoir besoin de PC ou de clé USB. Les 2 doivent être en 04.16.00 minimum. DeanK précise que tout est faisable entre les 2 consoles (jeux, vidéos, photos, etc).

Vous noterez la présence d'une version Stealth qui d'après deank est plus sûre pour le PSN.

Pour rappel, Multiman peut être mis à jour directement via le manager dans ses options.

While on the 'improvement' track I decided to remove and completely rewrite another major function in mM - copying folders/games. Currently the memory used by the new function is down to 6MB (from 12MB - used to be 32MB in the beginning). While at it I added the double progress bar so you can monitor the progress for each file and the overall progress.
