Hacking Questions about webMAN MOD

[Windows_10_User]

Do I have to download and install PS2CONFIG.pkg (like I did) if already having webMAN MOD's "Auto CONFIG" setting checked on "PLAYSTATION®2" on the "Scan for content" setting?

Also, no matter what I do, webMAN MOD freezes my PS3. I formatted the HDD, reinstalled CFW, reinstalled webMAN MOD and changed webMAN MOD's memory usage settings to no avail. What more should I do?

I was told webMAN MOD already comes with PS2 CONFIG files (those installed by PS2 CONFIG Database [which already comes with webMAN MOD] and it may be manually installed by installing PS2CONFIG.pkg) for the PS2 ISOs and that they're mainly needed on PS3HEN with encrypted PS2 games (which are in the ENC format and they're also inside the PKG one [the official PS2 Classics also have encrypted PS2 games inside the PKG file]) mounted by webMAN MOD so I don't need it since I have CFW and I don't have encrypted PS2 games (except inside some official PS2 Classics [the PS2 games I tried were in the ISO and BIN/CUE formats]).

EDIT: It seems webMAN MOD's "Auto CONFIG" setting automatically looks for the matching PS2 CONFIG file in ManaGunZ's MANAGUNZ0 folder (I didn't even install ManaGunZ) and in webMAN MOD's UDPWEBMOD folder. If the PS2 ISO or BIN/CUE already has a CONFIG file associated, that file is used without having to perform said search. ManaGunZ allows to create PS2 CONFIG files.

EDIT 2: I bought an used PS3 since the previous stopped reading BRs, installed webMAN MOD 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 again. To fix the PS2 games mentioned here so that they can be played on CFW without (or with less) issues after being mounted by IRISMAN, their respective PS2 CONFIG files have to be downloaded from here, they have to be renamed them so that their names match the games', their names also have to have ".iso/.bin" (if the "iso/bin" filename extension is in lowercase) or ".ISO/.BIN" (if the "BIN" filename extension is in uppercase) before "CONFIG" to work and they have to be in the same location as the corresponding games (in the PS3's PS2ISO folder). These PS2 CONFIG files can also increase frame rate in some PS2 games. I deleted PS2 CONFIG Database (which is installed by PS2CONFIG) since I have CFW and not PS3HEN, use IRISMAN and not webMAN MOD and I don't have encrypted PS2 games (except inside some official PS2 Classics).

Apparently, all PS1 emulators have harcoded PS1 game configurations, ps2_emu, ps2_gxemu and ps2_softemu have hardcoded PS2 game configurations and only ps2_netemu can load PS2 game configurations from an external file.

EDIT: I gave webMAN MOD a new chance and before reinstalling it I deleted IRISMAN. The "webMAN games" setting was empty with my external HDD connected to the PS3, which is odd. I disconnected it, restarted the PS3 and it was no longer empty. I installed prepISO, connect the external HDD to the PS3 (the "webMAN games" setting is no longer empty) and use prepISO to scan the external HDD every time I make changes to my PS1 and PS3 games in the external HDD (which are now in the same partition, since when I was using IRISMAN I wanted to be able to toggle between the PS1 emulators and I couldn't do that if running PS1 games from the external HDD's NTFS partition where my PS3 games were but only if running the PS1 games from the external HDD's FAT32 partition [and it had to be the first external HDD partition, because if not, the PS1 games weren't even found]) since the external HDD is formatted as NTFS (also, IIRC, even after using prepISO, it wasn't reflecting the changes I made to the PS1 and PS3 games in the external HDD when it had two partitions [a FAT32 one for PS1 games and a NTFS one for PS3 ones] but it does after putting them in a single NTFS one).
