multiMAN
multiMAN
multiMAN is one of the oldest and most feature-rich managers for the PlayStation 3. Unlike a background plugin, it is a full graphical application that takes over the screen with its own colorful interface, complete with cover art, file browsers, and built-in media tools.
Main features
- A game browser that displays your backups with cover images and lets you launch them directly
- Tools for copying, backing up, and restoring game data to internal or external drives
- An integrated file manager for browsing the console's filesystem
- A built-in FTP server and network features for transfers
- Media playback and additional utilities bundled in
Interface modes
multiMAN offers several display modes, from a polished cover-flow view to a plain list, so you can pick whatever feels fastest. A trimmed-down variant historically called mmCM exists for users who want the management features with a smaller footprint.
Good to know
multiMAN does almost everything in one place, which makes it a great single-app solution. The trade-off is that it is heavier than a lean plugin like webMAN MOD. manager backups
Always keep multiMAN updated to a version that matches your firmware. Running a mismatched build can cause crashes or features that simply do not work.
