Yes, that's how it works. mM will join the needed files to your internal HDD (not the whole game). There is no other way and it's always been that way.
Dean Thank you for clear my doubt i thought that split games install would go to GAMEI folder like every other game on external ...

Can you put it back to prior 04.14 updates as 0.4.13 was so much smoother and quicker and a lot less buggier.
If you dont believe me go try it out for yourself. 04.13 is so much smoother and faster than any update over 04.14.
I have multiman 04.16.04 and i don't have that problem everything runs smooth ... I want you try to configure multiman to open with the interface that you want probably it will sort your problems ... Go to Settings and Default Display Mode press X and choose one of the 8 modes them go out of multiman and open again if does work delete multiman and go to 04.14.00 and install all the update untill 04.16.04 and them you will have your problem solved ...

????? WTF?
I'm having problems with the 8x4 set as thats what it loads at and thats the only one I've ever used since its turned up so long ago.
Back on 04.13 was the last time it was great. It was fast, smooth and no problems then DeanK messed with it and now its buggy as hell. There are now a refresh icon and a disc icon. There is no disc in the drive so that icon shouldnt be there. So I now have 2 wasted spots. Instead of games I have them two.
It always refreshes when it loads also. So instead of seeing my games I see a screen of refresh icons and have to wait for all the game icons to show up.
Then if I scroll down to the next page it does it all over again. All refresh icons and have to wait for all the icons to show up.
In 04.13 its just game icons, no refreshing the list, no disc icons or refresh icons.
AND when you press O instead of it saying "quit Y or N" it now changes all the icons to some menu. When you finally find the quit button and quit when you load up MM again it goes back to that menu instead of the games list.
I update to see if its fixed and see its not so I downgrade back to 04.13 as its so much better than what he's changed 8x4 to. I would like him to change it back as its was so much more friendlier and faster and a LOT less bugs.
BTW, I cant update to the latest update (04.16.4) it says it cant download via the UPDATE button in MM.
I was at 04.16.3 when I tried.
WHERE can I find the latest version to download via PC?
And is 04.14.00 the last base file? So we have to install 2 files every time we want to update from now on?

Reason: Merged Posts
There are no bugs in 8x4 and it is actually faster than before. Instead of waiting 1-2-3 seconds for the old 8x4 page to display it now shows with no delay and then covers are loaded. The total time is about 2 times less than before. The "Start Game From Disc" entry - it has another purpose - to launch burned PS1/PS3 backups. You can disable the icon in "Settings" -> "Hide BD Disc Icon". You can always quit by holding [O].
Also you should watch your tone.

* Improved 'Verifying data' of USB games by a factor of 50
* Improved scan before copying a game/folder
* Improved loading folders in mmOS
* Improved just a bit deleting games/folders
* Greatly improved loading content when browsing PS3 HDD/USB drives in game modes

* Scanning for active USB storage devices is now performed in the background and will speed up loading games on 4.**CFW
* Verifying games in now performed in the background (when possible) to avoid delays when loading games
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.
I used LittleBigPlanet game as a test/reference when I started improving things last week and finally got about 15-30% speed increase.
8343MB (240 files):
Before the optimizations:
HDD->USB = 13:20min (800 seconds) (~10.4MB/s)
USB->HDD = 11:30min (690 seconds) (~12.1MB/s)
Of course with games with less files the transfer speed hits the limit of the internal HDD (~30MB/s) or the external USB (~20MB/s) like for example copying GT5 (14056MB in 19 files):
Copying from PS3 Game Disc is at ~8.4MB/s (which is the max. read rate of the ps3 bd-drive).
It may not look THAT much faster, but probably with larger games the saved time will be a lot more. 5 or 15 mins saved is still something.
D
p.s. To those who wonder about the latest speed improvements - you may remember my posts during the year: "Saved 5MB or RAM here... 20MB or RAM there... another 15MB RAM saved..." so finally I found time to utilize the resources I managed to free. Now I had to rewrite a lot of functions from scratch and optimize them as much as I can. The result is more speed and stability.

Well for me it loads about 4 times longer. I only use 8x4 and everytime it loads it refreshes the current page of games so it straight away takes about 4 more seconds. Then if I scroll down to the next page it again refreshes all the icons taking another 4 seconds.
On 04.13 it didn't refresh the icons, they were all there ready so it took an extra 0 seconds. So already the older version is 4 seconds faster.
If I pressed O at all it went to the menu if I pressed it or held it went there anyway.
And with the disc icon I still use it when I put a disc in so if I hid it then how would I backup that game? With older versions it didn't show up unless there was a disc in the drive, even if it was an original or a backup it was there and when you removed the disc the icon would also disappear. Now its always there regardless of a disc in the drive or not. If you click the icon with no disc in the drive it locks up the PS3 and you have to reset it.
To me it looks like you tried to add features and just screwed it up from how it was all good and working. Sometimes adding features isn't always a good thing.
I guess you'll tell me to stay on 04.13 then. Ok, I'm happy with the nice and fast look like it used to be, thanks for the awesome software btw. Now will you tell me how to remove the undate banner that happens everytime it boots. I still want the showtime updates but not the MM updates if I have to stay on a old version as its better for me.
The reason for the 8x4 change was to make it use the same engine like all other modes which means that you can also browse video files, music, pictures, retro roms and games. It is now possible to access all features of mM in this mode while previously it was restricted only to the games. If you wish - update to 04.17.00 and check if it is slower than your expectations and decide what to do next. I will not bring the old 8x4 back.

I've just updated to 04.16.06 as it says. It keeps telling me there is a 04.17 update but thats what it gives me.
Its still got the same bugs so i will be staying on 04.13 as that is much faster and smoother.
How do I stop it from telling me there is an update? the top right banner that comes up every time you load MM?
First of all Kudos for all the great work you've done so far.
I have a (probably easy) question: I am still running version 1.16 (shame shame) What is the best way to update to 4.16??
(It's not like i did not searched for this answer but I've lost track for a while and now i see that there are lots of unfamiliar terms and changes i'm not aware of.)
Yes, that's how it works. mM will join the needed files to your internal HDD (not the whole game). There is no other way and it's always been that way.
Hi Dean...about this, but on Rogero 4.30 v2.03 can not start games with big files (4GB +) split from USB HDD?
