1: So I purchased a PS3 last week and got CFW onto it.
The console couldn't play games for more than 10 minutes without the fan going into maximum overdrive. I would always just turn the PS3 off as soon as it started, hoping to reserve as much life in it as possible.
Then I got Webman and Cobra. Best thing ever. I tinkered with the fan settings, which are now at:
Auto at (unmarked) - 76 C Lowest fan speed (unchecked) - 27%
Manual at (marked) - 55% PS2 Emulator fan speed - 40%
Games play for a looooot longer, lasting up to an hour (which is the longest i've played, so it might go for even longer ) But the system makes so much noise now because of the fan settings.
What is the minimum settings for the options that can provide a cool and healthy PS3, but also a nice and quiet experience? Will adding a cooling station (specifically the one at the bottom of this list) allow for me to turn the speed down as well?
2: Along with Webman, I got these folders - PS3, PS2, PS, PSP
Is it safe to launch games from them without starting Multiman, or immediately on boot?
It would be a lot more convenient than launching Multiman, mounting the game, and then playing it.
I just wanted to be sure.
3: Can I get Console, PSN or ID banned without even having a PSN account? Pretty nervous about this one. I likely wont be doing any online gaming in the future, but I still wanna be careful.
Thank you all!
Fourth extra question I forgot about: I had a 32GB USB that I used for file transferring purposes to the PS3. It I'm pretty sure was fat32, otherwise the PS3 wouldn't read it. I lost the USB, but have another exact model. I cant copy large files to it because of the 4GB limitation. Why did the other one work perfectly fine? It could hold games up to 10GB.
Is there some sort of secret way to copy files larger than 4GB to a fat32 USB? I really don't want to use the file splitting method.
