Not multiman or the best GUI but it works - ntfs iso mounter - Install 1.1 then 1.2 update .pkg

I have a dual-partition external HDD. The first partition is FAT32, the second partition is NTFS. I simply installed multiman and sMAN, and with the proper folder setups It seems to automatically detect my NTFS partition games without any additional configuration.

You can't run PS2 games from the external hard drive. You have to copy them onto the internal. WebMan MOD will display a list of your PS2 ISO from ntfs:\\PS2ISO, but when you load a game it will take some time as it will copy the game to your internal drive.

As for the USB.CFG file, when I went into mmOS and tried to launch the PFS driver (bottom left hand corner option menu) it complained about not having the config file. So I created the config file and now it can read the drive just fine.

I would advise running prepNTFS if you're using WebMan MOD and then rescan the drive using its options. That should have it display your games from the NTFS external USB drive.

Just in case, there's better than using a ntfs disk... you can load games from a NAS directly

why people cares about ntfs.

Waste of time!

Because that's how they come formatted and is the best format to use for windows. Some people aren't dedicating their drive solely to play backups so they leave ntfs if possible so they don't get the file restrictions of fat32 when they use it as a drive for their computer.

I fixed this issue by using IRISMAN since it's file manager can read most if not all NTFS drives without issues, if it's a portable HDD then you need to plug it into a AC powered USB hub otherwise it won't read since the PS3 doesn't supply the drive with any power.

I used my external drive perfectly fine without external power

External and portable HDD are different.

I can't get the PS3 to read a portable HDD even though it's plugged in, haven't tested the external HDD yet but I only got PS1 games on it.

Mine is a portable hdd. Those two terms are usually used interchangeably in my experience. It's just got the single usb cable going to the ps3 and can successfully load games

I use a 1TB western digital portable HDD and the PS3 refuses to read it unless there is a power source.

They are not used interchangeably when you go to buy them, they are distinctly different products, mixing them confuses the situation.

External needs a power source, portable does not.

It doesn't matter what file system you use, USB is just not ideal. Streaming ISO over gigabit ethernet using ps3netsrv is a smoother experience.

NTFS allows you to store your full game ISO reducing the clutter of JB format games and also there are no split files so your backup manager doesn't need to process them. I just wish someone would hack in some GPT support..

WD Westerm Elements, needs a USB Y CABLE.

IT's suck!

Yep! I wanna GPT support to use my 4TB portable.
Actually i do use my 4TB External Seagate with my Ps3.

I don't care to much about NTFS, you can run fine .iso 40GB+ splited with FAT32!

Weird, my 1tb western digital passport drive works fine

It is better than fat32 for PS3 jailbreak.

Me too. I have 1tb and works fine.

Until you decide to bring it to a friend's house. Also not everyone has a gigabit switch/router. And back in ps2 days I tried streaming games and most games played terribly.
