My Post was:
I ripped my ps3 games (portal2/bournout paradise) to my ps3's hard disk and played them with no problem from multiman and they were showing up like a real disk. A long time this was working fine, but for some reason now the games are showing up in the folder (/app_home/) above the package installer in the XMB and no longer showing up as a "real" disk. This is a problem for me because portal2 and burnout paradise are only working if the "real" disk is inserted and if I load them up via the folder, portal2 gave me a yellow triangle on boot and burnout is stuck at the loading screen.

SOLUTION:
I was playing around with the rebug toolbox and found a solution.
All I had to do was enabling the cobra mode in the tolbox and now the disc is showing up as it was before.

NOTE:
I don't know why this is working or what cobra mode is but it's working.

IIRC there was a patch for portal 2 to fix this. I had this issue years ago.

I can't get the patch working I replaced the files in my ripped portal2 but I'm still getting this yellow triangle shit.
 
Have you tried maybe reinstalling your firmware and multiman. Sounds like something may have gotten corrupted. Are these the only two games that don't work? Do you have other games you could try and see if the problem persists.

IIRC it was a known issue with certain games, from higher fw working on lower CFW.

@Aladie what CFW you running?

I don't have burnout but I do have portal 2 and I'm also on 4.82 and no issues here. Maybe try dumping the games again or just for the heck of it try reinstalling rebug to see if it helps. Any chance you've tried loading the games via webman rather then multiman to see if they work? Multiman hasn't worked properly for me since I installed rebug 4.82 on my system and only sees one of my network games where webman works perfectly.

The fun times of BD emulation. I've accidentally loaded my entire library of games as 1 mega disc before lol

Have you tried re-enabling the BD emulation in multiman? Sometimes it has hiccups and screws up. Also make sure that the backup has it selected in the menu that you can get into for a specific game (This might have changed idk.) I havent used my old ps3 in so long.

Even selecting it in the game settings itself did not work? Do you have a disc in the ps3??? lol Sorry I gotta ask.
If you do have a disc in the ps3, then I would try reinstalling multiman or redumping your game.

I have no disk in my ps3 and yes I tried everything in the game settings, but it did not work. In the next days I will reinstall everything on my ps3 and look if it works.

Well dude, stick a random disc in and load up portal 2... You need a disc in the tray for it to work. any ps3 disc

I thought it was a pain at first to have to have a random ps3 disc in there, but I just used a terrible game as the base for all of my backups.

@Aladie I hope thats the issue lol If not then idk what is

Well I'll try that, but I don't have a disc here cause I'm not home. Is there no other solution?

It needs a disc to mount over I believe. Not any other choice other than the folder loading but I dont trust that if you are going online.
