Instead of converting PS1 games manually to run at 60Hz than 50Hz on PAL systems, isn't there an option for them PAL users to make the console default to NTSC/60Hz?

Multiman allows to change the region of BD/DVDs which is great, but this is a different issue.

If I had owned a hacked PS3 during 2010~2015 I'd have bought tons of Blu-rays from around the world (thankfully only three regions but still) though due to the region lock I lost interest, and the "please update your firmware to watch your Blu-ray" did not help.

Could you tell me what did you mean with the last paragraph? What do the latest FW updates offer regarding BRs? Without them one can't play recent BRs in the PS3?

Sony wouldn't allow users to watch Blu-rays without updating the firmware. I remember I had no internet connection and because the console was on an older fw it wouldn't let me watch the BD I bought. 😠

It's aacs actually. I messed up.

What are those?

But does that go for all BRs or just recent ones? I've never heard of that and I find it odd.

gaming mode isn't the be all end all of lag with some TVs, i have one where the gaming mode actually makes things lag more "for the sake of image quality"
That makes no sense, literally the entire point of game mode is to reduce latency. On some modern TVs it also does other things, like enabling VRR/FreeSync.

I don't understand why the PS2s have some problems with some PS2 game discs. Do these problems affect the PS2 Slim more than the Fat one?
The reason why some games have problems is because the emulation isn't good enough.

The reason why it's different on different ps2's is because they changed the IOP

Blu-ray movies/shows.

I'd hope they got rid of that stupid requirement, but I doubt it. Test it yourself.

Do you know why the "Disable content scan on startup" webMAN MOD setting is unchecked? How will webMAN MOD reflect the changes made to the external HDD where my PS3 games are, then?

that's normal. I have it disabled on my 360 as well, because it just slows things down when most of the time you're not adding new games. it's advised to keep it like that with both systems.

Why is it advised to keep it this way? Does it increase the likelihood of freezing my PS3? Also, some of my games only have the right icons after running them.

like I said, it slows down the system having to scan at every boot. makes no sense unless you're adding games at every boot, by which I'd say you have a piracy problem then.

Does the PS2 Classics Launcher mentioned in webMAN MOD's GitHub repository need to be used when webMAN MOD already reads PS2 games?

But if dozens of games are added (even if assuming more won't be added after that), does that mean that setting must be enabled? If so, will it take a lot of time? And what about after doing it and disabling the setting, will it take a lot of time to list all the games?
