Multiman is a widely used multi-function homebrew application for PlayStation 3 that provides file management, game launching, and backup loading. HEN (Homebrew ENabler) is a method used on certain PS3 consoles—primarily those running custom firmware-unfriendly system versions—to enable homebrew and unsigned code. The term "HEN 489" refers to using HEN on PS3 firmware 4.89 to run Multiman and other homebrew. This essay summarizes what Multiman is, how HEN 4.89 relates to it, typical features and limitations, and important safety and legality considerations.

HEN (Homebrew ENabler) is a partial softmod that runs on official firmware (OFW) versions 4.86 through 4.91. Unlike CFW, HEN does not flash the NAND/NOR; it loads from the internal memory card (HDD) via the internet browser or a game exploit. Version 4.89 refers to the OFW version that HEN is patched against.

For a long time, HEN users struggled with external USB drives formatted to NTFS (for files larger than 4GB). With multiMAN on 4.89/4.90, NTFS support is finally rock solid.
