PS3:ManaGunZ

ManaGunZ (MGZ) is a backup manager built from the ground up. It is compatible with both the Mamba and Cobra payloads. It has a few unique features including creating game mounting shortcuts on the XMB, choosing a payload to run a game, and checking a game's MD5 hash to verify that it is not corrupt.

The download link for an up to date version compatble with 4.9x custom firmwares is found here.
