Developer Aldo Vargas has updated the webMAN Mod plugin , albeit only in its Lite version to fix a bug in DEX mode only.

The webMAN Mod plugin provides extended services for PlayStation 3 consoles such as web server, ftp server, file manager, netiso, ntfs, gamepad emulation, ps3mapi, task automation, memory debugger and more.

The developers’ goal has always been clear to everyone, to create an AIO plugin that includes many of the features available on the PS3 scene in an easy and intuitive way.

The webMAN MOD plugin is the result of the hard work of several users, developers and artists collaborating with development, knowledge, resources, feedback and ideas.
