[News] Hermes PSGroove and Backup Manager v2, Does?


Many have asked me about this new version of the Backup Manager and the changes introduced by Hermes (aka English coder) we discover them!

Start with just remind you that this is not the Backup Manager 2, but more correctly it is a modification of a Backup Manager therefore the actual version is 1.2, is called Backup Manager v2 simply because the author calls it but remember that you will not find none of the improvements that were to be introduced with the second generation of the utility!

After we pass the required precision analysis:
version of the code that is proposing the launch of Hermes allows backup games even if you put a BD player in the original.
What the PSGroove by Hermes is to redirect the BD_Device menu item App_Home/PS3_GAME making it possible to boot directly from XMB Backups, however, this feature allows the initiation of a single

EBOOT.BIN excellent and useful if you always use the same game.

Here's a few hours after release modified code was born Backup Manager v2 which would (in theory but not in practice) to start every game, as did the previous Backup Manager, but without having to enter any BD (thanks to the work of Hermes). Once you select the backup you want to boot to the XMB will come ripoprtati exactly like the old BM only this time, instead of starting the game like a normal BD, you must select App_Home/PS3_GAME and the game starts (in theory ) normally!

But if you start a game in the drive keeping the original BD disc will encounter an error. The thing that is immediately evident is the narrow compatibility with titles available in practice (tested direttamente da chi scrive) su tutti i giochi provati (21) solo 4 sono realmente giocabili!


Pro:
Possibilità (remota) di avviare giochi senza BD nel lettore.

Ottimo per chi ha la lente del lettore fuori uso. Possibilità di avviare un gioco in modo istantaneo (se compatibile).


Contro: Comatibilità molto scarsa, meno del 50% ( in media 3 giochi su 4 non partono).
Si può avviare solo un EBOOT.BIN in modo istantaneo. Non è possibile "smontare" il Backup scelto.




Considerazioni Final

To conclude (as I said on my twitter) I decided not to rebuild a "best" version of Backup Manager v2 as still unstable and in my opinion useless (except in special cases) but I decided to compile the version of PSGroove by Hermes for anyone who wanted to try it now lies in the Download this article.
