That was fantastic man!
Did all of that, sorry for not keeping you up to date but I was doing everything you said.
It all works absolutely fine now!
I do have a separate two questions.
1. The PS3 idles high or at least it seems high to me 65-75C. Would it be recommended to reapply thermal paste to the cooler and possibly a fan mod?
2. What does webMAN exactly do? Can I have my PS3 ISOs backed up on my PC HDD and allow the PS3 to access it through the LAN and run the games straight that way? Or would it still require me to copy them over to the PS3s local HDD?
And most of all thank you and anybody else who helped, who helped me set this up. I've been away from the PS3 modding scene for like 6 years so everything's different to me
Ok webMAN-MOD is what most people use nowadays.
It replaces any backup managers.
You can either put your iso games on internal hdd or external hdd (fat32 or ntfs) in folder PS3ISO. (you can also use PS2 games in PS2ISO, some ps1 & psp too).
It's also pissible to use JB format instead of ISO (basically you extract the iso contents) in which case it goes into the GAMES folder.
As you asked you can also use webman to mount iso games from your PC or NAS or network share through LAN or wifi using a software called ps3netsrv (there is a GUI for ps3netsrv as well).
Run ps3netsrv on PC, mount a share.
Go to webMAN-MOD setup page & check the box scan for LAN games, put your pc ip address then save & reboot.
The games on your PC should now be listed in webMAN-MOD games & you can use them just like an internal game!
As far as the temperature is concerned, as I said earlier, in webman setup page you should set dynamic fan control then choose auto at a value comprised between 60 & 65.
The reason your PS3 heated up is likely because when you used the ps3 without cobra webman did not work & the fan control didn't either!
When you make changes to the setup page don't forget to save (button at bottom of page) then reboot.
You should read about webMAN-MOD carefully in the webMAN-MOD general information thread. Look for it, lot to learn...
You can access the setup from your PC too by using hxxp://ps3 ip address/setup.ps3 or on the ps3 with localhost/setup.ps3
WebMAN-MOD is updated often so don't forget to update from time to time (just check the thread for new releases)
Also be careful if you want to go online. Do some research about PSNPatch & how to use it to protect yourself from a ban if you sign in PSN.
