PS3HEN multiman keeps asking me to change the firmware...

[amin87]

hello.
My console is a HFW 4.84 ps3HEN. I've installed multiman and I have WWE 2k17. whenever I launch the game I face this message:

"This game requires 4.80 update. Do you want to change it to 4.70?"

If I hit 'No', there would be no problem and I can run the game without any problem. But if I hit 'Yes', my game blackscreens and no way to back to normal but deleting and recopying the game to the console.
I've googled about it and a solution was to enable mirror bd option in multiman when the game is selected. Another solution was to install PS3HEN version of multiman. I've done them but I still receive this message. I'm worried if someone else want to run this game and accidentally hits the 'yes' button. is there anyway not to receive this message again?

you're right but I'm a multiman fan. Is there any solution with multiman?

I think it's a key revision thing. the keys should be the same though.

could you please explain more? I didn't get it...

I don't really know much about the key revision, but it's a byte long (i.e. 0E). it pertains to the firmware version.

Well as far as I know the key revision must be located in Eboot.bin file in game directory. If I hit Yes, it changes this file to boot it from the mentioned firmware. but it results in blackscreen in PS3HEN...

hmm...looks like the key revision has been the same since the last new key. I thought it might've changed. if you're on a lower firmware than the game requires, I think that message appears. I just looked, key revision is 2 bytes, but only 1 byte is used. the other two numbers are 00 (i.e. 001C).

The problem solved!
I converted the game to the iso file. there is no more question about the frimware version. I think the reason is that it's not possible for multman to change the iso packed games and changing the keys...

glad you got it sorted. that message is what it would say post 4.21 in case the game needed it.
