It should work if you check external on the game settings? What does it do when you try to play a game? Does it send you back to XMB?

Load multiman then go to the game you would like to load (I use BD MIRROR & EXTERNAL game options when Direct Booting from XMB) and load it. once multiman redirects you to your XMB go to where "/app_home/PS3_GAME/" was and it should now say "Playstation®3" and hit X to load your game. Smile
Some newer games are not compatible with this booting method, check your games compatibility here in the "direct boot" column Smile :

yes its just sending me back to xmb. iv got it set to BD mirror and external. On my old ps3 it worked a treat and would load a game as playstation3 like you say. But on this slim its just not loading iv tried alot of games aswell with no joy still. The main game i want load is advanced warfare.

Advanced Warfare worked for me when direct booting it, it might be your firmware???
I'm running Rogero 4.55 v1.00 & Habib 4.65 CEX and AW started Smoothly from Playstation®3 on both.
What firmware are you running ? Smile
and What's the version ?

Download and install rogero downgrader, then download and Install rogero 3.55 cfw. After that you can install any CFW over the Rogero 3.55 CFW. Smile
