    Extended services for PS3 console (web server, ftp server, netiso, ntfs, ps3mapi, etc.)

    that model has partial ps2 hardware compactibility witch is good no need for .pkg converts (ps2classics = emulation) psn official (is ps2 emulation) only use .ISO that models (for use ps2 hardware chips); also common cause shutdown is overheat or necs (capacitors) are faulty, bad .iso dumps (verify .iso hash file integrity in redump.org) for test ps3 use webmamod and xmb keep pressing start+select till you hear a beep (with this you will see temps each second ) then run (30min - 1hour) heavy intensive games like last of us or gran turismo 6 and check temps, absolute safe temps are 75c (CPU or RSX) above that limit is overheat (80c critical - 85c+ random shutdowns) ps2 harware mode can`t check temp because level access override many functions in ps3 include check temps but if you use ps2 software only emulation you will see temps overlay when press PS button in gameplay (this ps2 software mode is no recomended in that model because you are using CPU for emulation is the same all later ps3 models only can emulate ps2 in CPU = low compactibility, bugs, black screens, shutdowns etc) in webmamod you can change the ps2 emulator maybe you change o "something" change default mode to software mode with increase temps in ps3 (many people has afraid playing ps2 in ps3 slim superslim because load that ps2 emulation put in ps3 CEll CPU) my recomendation is verify with good .ISO dump you are not running ps2 in software mode , in webmamod you had not enabled ps2classic option or check official developer wiki here https://github.com/aldostools/webMAN-MOD/wiki (also use offcial releases and updates from webmamod creator there) how to disable ps2 software modes or corresponded settings; if not change, use ps3 game for test in heavy gaming load (last of us or gran turismo 6 with combo button for check temps) if your ps3 shutdown it mean NECS capacitors are faulty (or bad sign your CELL CPU /RSX are failing too with is bad) but best tool for access error hardware logs is using the PS3 SYSCON tool https://github.com/db260179/ps3syscon (warning require tecnicall skills, solder, ) i use personally for debug hardware errors and fix possible ps3 errors ; for last verify webmamod has temps override to autodynamic 68c (default) and ps2 settings in default 40% also my recomendation that models up the default fan % to 33 (**ny default fan policy is too low = more heat in ps3) good luck.
