PS3 Games Manager
[ FOR THOSE THAT HAVE DOWNLOADED THE VERSIONS 0.30 OR 0.31, PLEASE DELETE IT AND DOWNLOAD THIS ONE (0.36b). THERE WAS A BUG THAT PREVENTED IT TO WORK ]
PS3 Games Manager version 0.36b (beta) is a totally new and revolutionary manager application for the Playstation 3, that features a lot of new functions and makes managing your games a totally new experience.
The software is written in PHP and Javascript, runs on Apache webserver (or any other webserver supporting PHP and running on Linux) and uses Webman APIs to control the PS3 remotely from any computer browser and any mobile device.
It completely eliminates the need to use Webman or Multiman with the joypad to launch games from the PS3 itself. A version that will be able to run on a Windows webserver supporting PHP will be also released soon.
