Not true.. I have prep_ntfs and never freeze my webMan MOD at all. Been used it for over 6 years.


Had other issues as well and all were gone after no ntfsprep

Very true on CFWs over the years - Done a few thousand ps3 and its pretty common issue on some CFWs - Since its not needed I canned it.

What's Dev pup?

EDIT: I bought an used PS3 since the previous stopped reading BRs, installed webMAN MOD's latest version and it hasn't been freezing my PS3 so maybe it was the previous PS3's HDD's fault. Anyway, I got used to IRISMAN so I uninstalled webMAN MOD.

Hello! I have a question. What if I playing a game on a USB and game need to install game data. Where game data will install? On USB or on a HDD? Please answer!

Yes, game data tool, but it only works with fat32 afaik. It's part of wmm.

What is the best way to play PS3 ISOs from an external drive anyway if it's a 5tb drive? I can't do fat32 because it's too big (over 2gb and the PS3 craps itself with fat32) so I am using exFAT which is working fine for PS3 ISOs but I cannot mount PS1 ISOs and PS2 ISOs never dump to the internal when I select them.

ps1 isos go in the PSXISO folder iirc. I've never tried exfat or ntfs (no longer use an external hdd actually), and ps2 iso games have to go on internal anyway. I don't know why they're only dumping to external if that's what you mean. it may be designed that way on purpose, just haven't dumped a game in like 8 years or so, so things have probably changed.

I do know you can make a multi-partition drive with fat32 for psxiso and pkg games, and ntfs/exfat for ps3 iso games. a.o.m.e.i. might be able to help you with that.
