(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); I found a file that stores everything on you hdd, is in /dev_hdd0/mms/db/metadata_db_hdd

Open it in ftp download and open it in a hex editor and have a look.

Its near the bottom it has every game and app listed in it except multiman...

I dony know if sony can see this file or not, i deleted it and it rebuilds when you restart with all the aps listed and deleting the app from the list makes it not work properly.

So as much as i hate to say it since my app wipes them, i dont think wiping out or replacing the .dat files is gonna help.

I think the homebrew is gonna be ok though without worry from sony just because in the ipod case running unsigned/unofficial apps is allowed just not pirated shit. So im gonna just use it and see what happens, the games will show their id's so no worries there i guess.

wait, why would multiman be an exception? its not on your list? and do i only need a CFW + Multiman to run backups from an external HDD?

Have you tried deleting an application to see if it still shows after its been deleted?... I only have cfw and multiman right now on my system had some emulators earlier though just thought I would ask/ see if anyone else has tried this.

So i can play homebrew games perfectly fine? I don't play any pirated/backup games, I'd rather buy them.
