(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Hey everyone, pointless ‘pre’ story but I recently got “grounded” from MW2 and my Dad took the disc…blah blah blah

So before I had multiMAN 1.15.03 on with the following process:

3.55 OFW  Geohotz 3.55 CFW  Wanikokos 3.55 CFW

On Wanikokos CFW I had on multiMAN with a backup of MW2 and I tried to fix my black screen issue but everything I tried failed to work (delete backup  delete multiMAN  re-install multiMAN  re-back up MW2  select backup and press [select] + [X] at the same time  say no to prompt  go to disc that says MW2) and so I read on the forum that kmeaw CFW is the best CFW out there. So I decided to try kmeaw CFW out. The following is the process I took from the very beginning:

3.55 OFW  Geohotz 3.55 CFW  Wanikokos 3.55 CFW  3.55 OFW  kmeaw 3.55 CFW

After successful installation, I went to install package files and installed multiMAN 1.15.03.pkg along with lv2.pkg. I went into the lv2.pkg and had NO idea what to do there so there is my first question:

What is lv2.pkg:
What does it?
Do I still need it for multiman 1.15.03?
How to I successfully use it in order to run back-ups?


After going into lv2.pkg and having no idea what to do, I went to multiMAN and tried to play the backup of MW2 with Gran Turismo 5 in the disc slot. Once again I get a black screen, therefore bringing me to my final question:

How do I fix MW2 ‘black screen’ issue:
What causes this?
Is there something I am doing wrong?
Step by step (short) tutorial explaining how to get MW2 back-up working.

Honestly if you reply to this thread and you fix my problem I will +rep you no doubt…I am sorry if I am annoying people by “posting the same thing.” I have literally searched everywhere for answers and have gotten no luck, so if you have something negative to say, go ahead, waste your time, my time, and anyone else who sees this.

I am hoping to answer a lot of questions people have about this so yea, that is about it!

Thank You!!

the lv2 patches some techincal stuff in the RAM that allows the backup manager to virtually mount a disc to the BD-Drive, and you do not need to use it for multiman 1.15.03. I haven't tested it, but I think to fix the black screen error you have to copy the game to an external USB drive, then boot it by pressing [Select] + [X] in multiman.

Choose the disc that says MW2, and personally I like multiman but they ultimately all do the same thing.

ok number one your installing the files wrong on mw2 if the files is patch.mp.ff could be ps3 and xbox there called the same number 2 try a different patch and just overwrite the patch of mw2 or delete it re download it start over multiman is one of the best look on youtube so much easier to explain
