Following up on the previous update of XMB Manager Plus (XMBM+) developer's Aldostools & Samson have made some updates and improvements to this XMB Modification that comes loaded with added functionality to the XMB. This XMB Mod takes over the Install Package File feature found on PS3 CFW's and supercharges it. You will still be able to install package files, but with many new additions such as a built-in XMB File Browser, Quick web links to Homebrew Store, Scene Sites (such as this one), Radio Links, Game & Save Manager and tons of other features[break]s[/break], you can get an idea of what this mod offers in the video below, but be warned that is a much older version and there is some changes and additions not seen in the video. This update provides a fix for a problem that has been around for sometime and Aldostools explains more about it below, but no longer should you see duplicate pkg's listed in the Package Manager. You can checkout more about this and all the details of XMB Manager Plus in the information provided below:
