A Question About .ISO Files

Post by MollyJanet »

Hi, I recently homebrewed my PS3 Super Slim. And I was thinking about what format I should store my games in. I store the games directly on the build in HDD and mount them via webMan.

The thing about .iso files is, that when I launch a game for the first time the PS3 is installing the game data. And it seems like when I launch a 5GB game that it is installing those 5GB again in the \dev_hdd0\game folder.

Do I understand that correctly, and wouldn't the folder format be more space efficient?
