For "Technical Support" on making themes, tutorials etc then please make a forum post about it and not the shoutbox. Also check the HELP ME!! forum first.
Based on PSLIGHT, Tiny3D, PS3Soundlib and OpenPS3FTP, it’s the first open code manager made with Homebrew tools.
It’s thought for the psgroove-hermesv4 base and concretely for CFW 3.41 (it’s compatible with the old dongle, but in that case there will be some inactive features). This program must only be used for the legitimate use of backup, and the author declines third parts misuse of the program and only recognizes the uses that the Spanish Legislation in the private area allows.
Controls
At games screen:
LEFT/RIGHT/UP/DOWN -> move to select game. When limits reached, it changes screen
Test Game -> Makes a test reporting if the game has big or splitted files
Copy EBOOT.BIN from USB -> Copies an external EBOOT.BIN from "/dev_usb/ps3game" to "/dev_hdd0/game/HMANAGER4/self" directory. The expected name is "ID".BIN (e.g. in GT5 the name would be BCES-00569.BIN). This feature requires payload v4D and the activation of the
"extern EBOOT.BIN" feature. Thus, it’s possible to launch the original bluray in 3.41 with modified self
Return -> Returns
Config. Game screen
Fix Permissions -> Switches between "Default" (console’s original, needed in some games), "Ps Jailbreak" and "v4 Perms (F1)", which is the
Payload V4 default mode
Select XMB -> Switches between "Debug" (XMB with jailbreak) and "Retail" (requires disk to launch game, but allows other things)
Online Updates -> By default is "on" (does nothing)... switching to "off" in payload v4D modifies "on the fly" the application’s version,
avoiding upgrades.
Extern EBOOT.BIN -> Switches between "on" (requires a previously copied with it’s ID EBOOT.BIN) and "off"
Save Config -> Saves the configuration in "/dev_hdd0/game/HMANAGER4/config"
Return -> Returns
Global Options screen
Video Adjust -> Screen adjust
Change Game Directory -> To change games directory (autodetects between "/dev_hdd0/GAMEZ " and "/dev_hdd0/game/xxxx/GAMEZ")
Change Background Color -> Changes background color
Press To Enable Syscall Security -> When enabled, it doesn’t allow other programs to use 6,7,8 and 36 syscalls used by payload
Press To Disable Syscall Security Remember to modify "hmanager_key" and compile the program if you want maximum security
Load PS3LoadX -> Option to load the developing utility PS3LoadX. If permissions were set to "default" it can be useful as well
as convenient to first launch HMANAGER to ensure the latest payload version
Initialize FTP Server -> Once started, shows IP and port. From a FTP client , access as anonymous
Quote:D_Skywalk has successfully ported Hermes’s backup manager to the 3.55 CFW. The manager which previously only supported by the 3.41 CFW is an open source solution powered with a legal SDK, PSL1GHT, unlike any other backup managers around. With that description, it doesn’t mean it will support more games but, hey, it’s from Hermes.
You need run LV2 Patcher v8+ before load The Hermes Awesome Manager!
+ LV2 Patch is not integratet into the code but detection is working atm.
+ Includes a complete diff (other managers should start to do the same)
+ 3.55 stealth version use ID of Lemmings Demo (NPUA80034)
+ The other version use the official ID of hermes (HMANAGER4)
Kudos

Quote:- BDEMU added to launch games from /dev_usb00x/PS3_GAME with black screen like Modern Warfare. Allow to launch games from /app_home/ without any Bluray disc inserted. (it needs the option "BD Emu (for USB)" in "On")
I haven't tried it out but I think it just supports changing the background color in the options menu rather than actual images.
I think most of it's user base are from elotrolado (a spanish site)
edit: updated the opening post with the 3.55 copy of Hmanager 1.3
