Thread: Team Cobra Releases Updated 'mmCM' v04.00.00 (aka) 'multiMAN Cobra Manager'

Team Cobra has been hard at work adding many features and improvements to their 'mmCM' app (aka) (the special updated 'multiMAN' app for their Cobra-USB dongle users), and their latest release of 'mmCM' is really a big bonus for everyone else as it is now possible also to run it with most of the New & Improved (non-Cobra) features on any Jailbroken PS3 running CFW without the 'Cobra-USB' dongle!

Hello!

• Added support for jpg/png covers for BD/DVD ISO files in "Coverflow" mode
• Added PIC1.PNG/SND0.AT3 (background image and music) support to lastGAME and "PSP Launcher" for PSP ISO files
• Improved performance when extracting CSO to ISO and when creating ISO files from folders
• SIXAXIS gyroscope affects screensaver mode (wave/tilt the controller to navigate the starfield)
• Improved "Coverflow" display mode
• Added preparations for experimental support for multi-disc PSX games in CUE+BIN or ISO format for up to 4 discs ("Required Cobra USB/FW update will be announced when PSX multidisc support is available")
• mmCM 04.00.00 will work without CobraUSB dongle connected (See the 'Second Quote' below for more information).

New mmCM users will have to install mmCM 04.00.00 FULL version.

Awesome. Might install just for the text view. Good to see deans work being continued.

"mmCM 04.00.00 will work without CobraUSB dongle connected (See the 'Second Quote' below for more information)."

So they've opened it up to regular CFW users? Just missing cobra-specific features like ps2 compatibility?

I can't even remember the last time I updated multiman.
This was well needed. Thanks Dean/Cobra

Mad props to Cobra for some innovation. I'm guessing the PSP stuff won't work? I'm still debating on installing a CFW and I'm more inclined to now due to the fact Sony basically won the lawsuit against them removing the OtherOS feature I purchased the PS3 for in the first place. Looks like hacking the PS3 to install Linux and enjoy a handful of games I already own is my only option if I want to play any 3.55+ original games (if/when that becomes a non-dongle possibility).

has anyone figured out the themes? seems like the old themes do not work anymore or cannot be loaded.

New THEME format (.thm). One theme - one file. Easy installation within multiMAN/mmCM without going to XMB to install theme pkg files.

how can I convert Simple Is Beautiful theme to a .thm format?

Or where can I get this app, see below:

* mmTM - Easy to use PC application to create thm files from folders (separate download).

I'm finding it increasingly difficult to believe that this is not the work of Deank. It just has to be him. He probably just wants to remain anonymous due to all the drama and moaners that would complain about him going over to the dark-side. Personally, I feel that if he is at Team Cobra then good luck to him, he deserves a few bucks for the countless hours he's put into multiMAN.
Think about it.
1 - Official multiMAN updates stop, and many weeks go by.
2 - Along comes mmCM v3.00.00 and then the updates start again. These updates have Dean's trademarks written all over them.
3 - Along comes mmCM v4.00.00 which works for both Cobra users and non-users. This makes sense if it really is Dean, as he just has to work on this one project for all users now.
I reckon the official multiMAN will never be updated again, but who cares so long as Dean keeps updating mmCM.

Thanks Dean
