It is important to state that multiMAN itself does not encourage piracy. The primary purpose of the multiman 4.90 pkg is to:

You should only play backups of games for which you own the original disc. Circumventing DRM to play downloaded ROMs of games you do not own violates copyright laws in most jurisdictions. Always respect the intellectual property of developers.


The PlayStation 3 homebrew scene has persisted for over a decade, largely sustained by the "multiMAN" software suite. Originally released as a backup manager, multiMAN evolved into a comprehensive file manager, FTP server, and media player.

With the release of Sony’s OFW 4.90, changes to the system’s internal syscalls and security certificates necessitated an update to homebrew applications to prevent functionality loss. multiMAN 4.90 (specifically versions 4.90.00 and subsequent updates) serves as a compatibility bridge, ensuring that users updating to the latest firmware signature retain access to their homebrew capabilities. This paper outlines the technical specifications, installation requirements, and feature set of this specific version.


Before proceeding, ensure your PS3 is running a compatible firmware: CFW 4.90 (e.g., Evilnat, Ferrox) or HFW 4.90 (for HEN users).
