• Extract "multiMAN [EBOOT_FIX].rar" inside a folder, anywhere on your computer.
• Open this new folder and keep it open
• Put your Game folders on your computer or external drive.
If you dumped your Bluray game to internal, use a game manager to copy the game on the external HDD, or use an FTP server to transfer the game to your computer.
You can use FAT32 with split files too.
• Open your game in a new explorer window with to have "MultiMan [EBOOT_FIX]" folder and your game folder side by side.
• Drag and drop your game folder on eboot_fix.exe, a new command window will open to patch the game automatically.

Note (show)
• Wait until the Command window close by itself (1 to 5 minutes).
• You should now have 2 new folders in the "multiMAN [EBOOT_FIX]" folder :
- [BLUS30339] [NPDRM] Castlevania Lords of Shadow (HDD)
- [BLUS30339] [RETAIL] Castlevania Lords of Shadow
•Go into the NPDRM folder, ex. for Castlevania: "[BLUS30339] [NPDRM] Castlevania Lords of Shadow (HDD)".
There you will find :
- "[BLUS30339] Castlevania Lords of Shadow (HDD).txt" --> A step by step installation guide
- "[BLUS30339] Castlevania Lords of Shadow (HDD).pkg" --> The pkg to install on PS3 firmwares from 1.90 to 3.41
- "[BLUS30339] Castlevania Lords of Shadow (HDD)-FW_355.pkg" --> The pkg to install on PS3 firmware 3.55
• Copy the correct pkg file to the root of your FAT32 USB device.
On PS3
• Boot your PS3 in jailbreak mode, or use a Custom Firmware.
• Go to "Game Data Utility" at the top of the GAME column on XMB.
• Delete any related game data from the game that you want to create as PSN-like icon.
• Plug the FAT32 USB device into the console.
• Go to the "★ Install Package Files" menu under the GAME column on your XMB and select the .PKG file you created previously.
• Go back to XMB and launch multiMAN
• Put MultiMan in file manager mode (press SELECT+START, or L1/R1 to change mode up to the file manager mode).
• Browse to your installed game (the real one, used by your manager), put the cursor over PS3_GAME folder (Do not go inside), and press R3.
/dev_hdd0/gamez/[BLUS30339] Castlevania Lords of Shadow/PS3_GAME/
• It will ask if you want to create a shadow copy of the selected folder, answer yes.
This operation will create SHADOW copy of "Castlevania: Lords of Shadow™" to:
/dev_hdd0/G/U30339 and /dev_hdd0/game/BLUS30339/
• Exit multiMAN (top right icon in the file manager mode)
• Launch the game directly from "Castlevania: Lords of Shadow™ (HDD)" icon on the [GAME] column in XMB
• If prompted to update the game to newer version - cancel the update
