So, as the title says, I'm having issues with the latest version of wm, idk why this is happening, I was safe with 1.37.47, but I remembered that there was an update, and now I can't play games from my hdd, it's a seagate of 1tb, what's weird though, is that when I unplug my hdd, the console boots normally, the thing is, wm is having trouble with my hdd for some reason, because when I deleted wm, the console boots with the hdd in, and trying going to irisman or managunz works without any issues and I can launch a game... is someone having a similar issue??

I realize that this is a few months old, and this issue may have been resolved by now (although I've done a lot of investigating and haven't found much [I recall in one post in the github page for webman there was a reply by the person maintaining the software, I think it's aldos, that stated that this issue was unfixable... or maybe it was different issue, but I'm pretty sure it was this]). But I was having the same issue, and couldn't even load anything from my HDD with Irisman or ManaGunz... until I stumbled upon the reason I was having this trouble. You might already be aware, but if your HDD is improperly formatted, it will not work properly when connected to the console. Beyond the ntfs/fat32/exfat formatting, there exists another layer of format which is one of two types: either GTP or MBR. As I've come to learn, MBR is the older format, and most newer drives are formatted using GTP. You'll need to install a partition manager (plenty of them out there, I use AMOEI Partition Assistant, which is free), that is the only way I found of even checking to see if your HDD is GTP or MBR. MBR (Master Boot Record) is what is required to be used with the ps3. Mine was formatted GTP, so I converted it using the same program and it works swimmingly now with Irisman (idk if it works with webman, tho, because in my haste in trying to make it work, I accidentally unticked the box in webman setup that allows for the webman setup icon to be displayed, so now I cannot access that menu or any of webman options, because i cant get past the initial webman games folder; actually looking for a solution to that which is why I found this thread, lol)
