Hey there everyone!

I decided to have ps3hax as the new home for multiMAN, so from now on information and updates will be posted ONLY in this forum.

Here is a multifunctional tool, which includes 8 different display modes (for games, AVCHD and Blu-ray) and File Manager + background running FTP server.
