This will run games without inserting a disc into your system. It will also help you to make some games work, which all require BD-Mirror which is a known multiman, Irishman, and other managers.
Requirments:
Custom firmware version 4.66
This is where all the necessary files are located to patch explorer_plugin.sprx and libfs.sprx of a FW 4.46 system
Iris_BDEMU_DISCLESS_MODE
Note: Works on both CEX and DEX I used Rebug's 4.46 D-REX, but normal REX and Rogero CFW/MFWs should work as well.
Instructions:
Step 1 Use Multiman or you can use Filezilla to copy explore_plugin.sprx system file, located in /dev_flash/vsh/module/ to your USB drive or PC.
Step 2 Locate and copy libfs.sprx system file residing in /dev_flash/sys/external/ directory, the same way you did in Step 1.
Step 3 Download and extract the patchers on your PC. They are located under the following link:
Iris_BDEMU_DISCLESS_MODE
Step 4 Place explore_plugin.sprx, libfs.sprx in the same directory where you extracted the contents of Iris_BDEMU_DISCLESS_MODE.rar /.zip on your PC.
Step 5 Run patch_explorer_plugin.bat to create explorer_plugin_patched.sprx in the same directory on your PC.
Step 6 Run patch_libfs.bat to create libfs_patched.sprx in the same directory on your PC.
Step 7 Rename the newly created exporer_plugin_patched.sprx to explorer_plugin_446.sprx on your PC. (Note that: if you are on a firmware with a different version number than 4.46, make sure that the number corresponds to that firmware's version number you are using.)
Step 8 Copy explorer_plugin_446.sprx and libfs_patched.sprx into your Playstation 3 system's /dev_hdd0/game/PS3ITAMNG (if you are using PS ITA Manager) or /dev_hdd0/game/IMANAGER directory (if you are using IRIS Manager).
Step 9 Start PS ITA or IRIS Manager from the XMB on your Playstation 3 system.
Step 10 Check the General Options menu by pressing the [START] button on your controller while PS ITA or IRIS Manager is running. On the bottom of your screen you should see a message saying:
"payload-sk1e resident - new syscall8 v8 (libfs_patched found!)" (Note, that the name of the payload could vary on different firmwares!)
Step 11 Activate "Disc- Less" mode by selecting Tools -> With BDVD Controller (this is normally the default playload used by PS ITA Manager).
Step 12 When prompted with a message asking: "Want to use Disc - Less payload?" answer "Yes". and PS ITA / IRIS will exit.
Step 13 In order to test if "Disc - Less" mode is running properly pick a game that requires a disc. (NOTE: That if you are using an external storage drive to proved the game image, you need to rename your GAMES folder to GAMEZ in order to allow PS ITA / IRIS to recognize your installed games).
Tested on Grand Turismo 6 with the following settings:

Press [SELECT] while the game is selected to enter the Game Options sub menu.
Pick Config. Game from the Game Options Sub menu
In this menu you can setup the launch conditions of your game.
Enable Requires Disc, by pressing the "DPAD" into the direction where "yes" is located.
Set "BD EMU" to mount "BDVD" in a similar way you did in the previous step.
Select "Save Config.", and the game launch settings will be saved in a .cfg file.
Now select "Return" and press "X" to start the game. You'll be thrown back into XMB.

When you go back into PS ITA manager you'll be prompted with a message saying that in order to activate fake disc mode you need to have USB mass storage device attached to your ps3. After arriving in the menu and pressing the PS button, you should see a big animation in the background saying that a fake disc was inserted.
If you start the game again and enter XMB, you will find two additional icons one with the name of the game you are launching and one using the name "Game". Start the one which uses the title of the game (normally located under the Package Manager).
Note 1: Normally, you will need Mount BD for games located on your external hard drive and use libfs mode (BD-Emu) if the game is located on your internal hard drive.
Note 2: Make sure you don't use the payloads of IRIS Manager / Multiman at the same time. It could crash your system. Just avoid using both backup managers.
