Post: MultiMan- "Bye Bye Old firmwares!"
02-13-2013, 10:24 AM #1
(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Deank has released a statement mentioning that he is dropping support for ALL firmwares whether they are CEX or DEX. This includes popular CFWs like Rebug 4.21.2 and PS3ita 4.21 v.9. The change will take place on v5.00.00 which means if you want to stay on a lower firmware then 4.19.00 is the last you can use.

This is a HUGE decision by Deank as many people still use 3.55 CFWs like Kmeaw and 4.XX like Rebug REX. Some have started to speculate that huge firmware revisions will be taking place with Rebug's website going down and now the 4.30 DEX firmware being released. This could lead (IF developers can figure out how Sony patched 4.30+ DEX conversions) to a 4.31 REX firmware and a new 4.3X DEX firmware with better 4.XX support from MultiMan.

If you want to stay on 4.21 or lower CFWs then stay on 4.19.00 MM or switch to Iris Manager.

With multiMAN 05.00.00 only 4.30 and higher firmwares will be supported. Supporting 14 different firmwares is too hard to maintain compatibility with.

These will no longer be supported:

3.41 OFW
3.41 OFW + DONGLE
3.41 MFW (HERMES)
3.55 OFW
3.55 CFW KMEAW
3.55 CFW COBRA
3.55 CFW TB
3.55 CFW REBUG/ROGERO
3.55 OFW DEX
3.55 CFW DEX
4.21 OFW DEX
4.21 CFW REBUG
4.21 CFW ROGERO 1.00..2.03

These and later will be supported:

4.30 CFW ROGERO 2.05..
4.30 CFW REBUG
4.31 CFW

In the beginning mM used to support 1.90/3.00/3.14/3.21 firmwares but then suddenly the new additions started to cause issues with these old firmwares so I leveled up at 3.41. Now 2 years and 6 months later I think it is time to go up again.

Users of unsupported firmwares can stay with 04.19.00 or lower multiMAN version – anyway – it has more than everything one may need. Or switch to Iris.


Me I'm sticking with my PS3ita 4.21 v.9 DEX firmware and I'll live with 4.19.00 but tell me what you think of this decision. Are you angry or upset with it?

{EDIT}To clear some of this up and to back him up on this decision, look the fact is, 4.19.00 is a great release and has very few bugs. There is practically no reasons to stay on 3.55 or 4.21 CFW besides the REX version. 4.30 CFWs can do ALMOST everything that 3.55 can plus more like no patching of games to work.

Deank NEVER said he was going to completely abandon the previous firmwares, he is just not focusing on making it compatible with ALL firmwares, meaning 5.00.00 MAY work on 3.55 but may have bugs that he will not care to fix.

The politics of releasing something so small as homebrew or a backup manager is rather irrelevant. Shouldn't really matter why they release as long as it works and personally I like Iris for the PSX ISO support which has been a Cobra exclusive. Being a previous Cobra owner, it wasn't worth the buy and Iris fills MMs gaps. My opinion on the jump to higher firmwares is, well, times change. Change with them or be left behind. Those on DEX are mainly for RTEing now and they will be ok with version 4.19. Staying specifically with a few firmwares means instead of fixing bugs, deank will be making the manager better and adding features.

I like the move. Time to upgrade gentlemen.

Understood, even though I think he's being kind of lazy for cutting support for 4.21

Do a barrel roll!
Thats why you make mm 5.0 for whatever firmware your on yourself which i dont see why you couldnt. haha but i think it is completely stupid to do this imo and btw Iris manager blows people that shit to mm is like a dvd player compared to a blu ray player it is useless when mm has better capabilities and is easier to use , freak your fancy gui iris manager. does iris manager have stealth? I may be wrong but i think it doesnt.
excuse the language people.

I didn't mean it like that. It's just that a lot of people still use 4.21 CFW. I know he works extremely hard.

Edit: Just read the other replies. I'm not the only one who said that he's being kind of lazy. Also, I said that I understood & I didn't mean it as criticism.

when someones doing something for you for free you don't complain that he's to lazy to do more for you.......maybe he thinks your lazy since you do nothing at all and you should make a new manager.......people LOL

by the way, i've tried iris....multiman is defiantly better

Updated thread to show some crowd control comments. Please DO NOT hate on Deank for this decision because he makes it on his own time for everyone for FREE.

This may sound dumb Derek, but you're good at coding/modding. I just started learning Python as it is the "universal langauge." Did I choose the right one to learn first, where should I go from there?
