  • Use the File Manager to combine split files (.666## or .#) created when moving large files to FAT32 drives.
  • Keep backups organized in the folders multiMAN expects (GAMES, PS3ISO, PS2ISO, PSXISO).
  • Remove PS3_UPDATE folders from backups to avoid accidental OFW updates.
  • Use symbolic links to save internal HDD space (works only on internal drive).
  • If a game fails, try BD Mirror or let multiMAN apply its patch when prompted.
  • For faster mounts and lower memory usage, pair multiMAN with webMAN (mounting) or a COBRA-enabled payload when applicable.
  • When using network hosting, run PS3netsrv on your PC and point multiMAN’s Net_Host to it.
