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 the stable version is found here, whereas the more up to date nightly build is here.
