Game Compatibility / CFW Related (KMEAW/REBUG/ROGERO 3.55CFWs):

- Improved compatibility for the so-called "Black-Screen-Games" (BSG) which *until now* required
the "BD-Mirror" option and worked ONLY from external usb HDD (otherwise game would lock/loop/error during load).

- Now users of the listed firmwares can use the "BD-Mirror" option for game backups stored in the INTERNAL HDD.
It may improve the compatibility of over 100 games (some older titles, some newer),
for example AC1 / Colin Dirt 1 / Prince Of Persia / CoD / MW / Tomb Raider, incl. titles which had sound issues.

- A partial list of some games that may gain from the new option can be found here:
http://pastie.org/pastes/4115732/text
- It is now possible to set "BD-Mirror" option for games in Internal HDD and it enables the new functionality.
The option works both with PS3 Game Disc in the tray and in discless mode from /app_home.

- The option is available in the "Game Settings" menu for each game in the list

Wichtig! BD Mirror funktioniert nur bei den oben genannten CFW´s!

* Changed folder "Paste" behavior in mmOS - when overwriting existing folder the destination will not be deleted before pasting
* Added 3 key combos in mmOS (for full list please refer to "navigation.txt"):
- SELECT+(CROSS hold) - Select All
- SELECT+(L2/R2) - Scroll to top/bottom of folder/file list
* Extended "FTP Server" options in "Settings": Disable / Enable (1 min. TO)...(9 min. TO) / (No timeout) to set ftp connection timeouts
* Added 4.20 to "Firmware Version" option in "Settings"

• Added support for ZIP files (4GB ZIP filesize limit)

• Added support for extracting ZIP files in mmOS (unzip supports subfolders, too); User can enter the target folder name to extract the zip in.
  --- Unzip in the same folder: ([O]->Unzip Here)
  --- Unzip in a different folder: ([O]->Copy -> (go to a different folder) -> [O]->Unzip Here)
  --- Double-click a .zip file - extracts archive to TEMP location and opens target folder
  ------ TIP: To extract into current folder enter single dot . for folder name;

• Added support for installable ZIP packages when filename is in special format (double click on such special zip in mmOS):
  --- PS3~dev_hdd0~GAMES~BLES12345~dlc.zip will prompt the user to install the contents in /dev_hdd0/GAMES/BLES12345/dlc folder
  --- PS3~dev_blind~test.zip -> will make mM enable WRITE access to dev_flash and install the contents of the .zip in /dev_blind/test (/dev_flash/test) folder (use with caution)
  ------ TIP#1: Special ZIP naming convention: prefix is "PS3", "/" is replaced by "~"
  ------ TIP#2: This approach can be used to restore backups of /dev_hdd0/home or install patch-fixes or other data
