Aldo's tools collection has become a serious staple for the PS3 community. Thanks to these constantly updating interfaces, new users and veterans alike have been able to enjoy the best parts of what the custom firmware experience as to offer. Since the latest development trend these days is all about Cobra firmware, Aldo has tried his hand at updating some of the most popular apps to support it. The changes are extensive, so I'll let the developer fill you in below!

LastGAME Customizer 1.3

This new tool takes advantage of the customization options that multiMAN's lastGAME applet offers, allowing to create PKG files that mount games, PS1 games and AVCHD movies directly from the XMB, without having to launch multiMAN's GUI (btw lastGAME = multiMAN without GUI)

Features:

• Current version supports lastGAME 4.1 and the newest lastGAME 9.0:
  9.0: loads the new multiMAN's payload on 3.55, 4.21, 4.30, 4.31, 4.40, 4.41, 4.46 and 4.50
  9.0 COBRA: for COBRA 7.0 CFW implemented on 4.46 Rogero v1.00
  multiMAN 04.20.00+ is required for PSX isos
  4.1: loads Hermes payload for firmwares 3.41, 3.55, 4.21, 4.30 (multiMAN is not required)
• Allows to connect to PS3 via FTP to retrieve the list of games installed on HDD or on external devices
• Supports drag & drop of multiple folders (x:GAMES) to create multiple PKGs instantly
• Supports command line interface (CLI). Use /? for info.
• Allows to mount ISOs (PS2, PSP, PSX, DVD, BDM) and load remote backups (Cobra dongle is required)
• Support direct boot (certain games only). Games that require BD mirror are now supported in lastGAME8.

Changes in 1.3: Added support for lastGAME9 and lastGAME9 [COBRA].

Note: For BD-mirror feature, multiMAN 04.50.xx must be installed. BD-mirror setting is stored in the PS3GAME.INI created for each game by multiMAN or by Game Settings Manager

PS3 NET Server GUI 1.01

It's an improved GUI for the PS3 NET Server (the PC side of multiMAN).
(hosts hide in system tray, remember last used folders, supports up to 10 hosts, white list, etc.)

Changes: Includes the newest ps3netsrv.exe from DeanK with support for loading network games in JB/FOLDER format on Cobra 7.0 and minor changes to GUI.

PS3 HDD GUI 1.3

It's a GUI for the PS3 HDD reader tool created by 3141card. Now includes a PS3 HDD Hex Viewer to view/dump sectors.

The tool is a simple on-the-fly decrypter and ufs2 reader that allows to browse the content of your gameos (dev_hdd0) and copy files and folders to PC.

PS3 HDD will only read (Nothing is written to the PS3 HDD, so it should be very safe). PS3 HDD for Slim and FAT models are now supported.

A virtualbox-image of linux with a kernel compiled for ufs read/write support is available here and a ufs read-only version is here. The commands are for slim hdd's only.
