Allow automatic copying/deleting of PS2 ISOs to the internal HDD #130

I noticed that if you load a PS2 ISO directly off an external drive, it will mount the game and show it on the XMB, but if you try to launch it, the console will freeze with a black screen. I am aware that PS2 ISOs can only be launched from the internal storage, but if this is the only way they can be launched, ManaGunz should automatically copy the PS2 ISO to the internal storage once the game is selected. And for people who would rather archive their games on external storage, I think there should be an optional setting to clear the PS2 ISO folder on the internal HDD whenever ManaGunz is launched or after a PS2 game is exited, to avoid taking up unnecessary space on the internal storage (HDD size is limited on PS3).

I believe that the edition of these settings will make the PS3 one of the best consoles to mod, since games from three generations will be able to be launched from a simple interface with automatic PS2 configuration and no manual copying or deletion of files. I personally prefer to use ManaGunz instead of Webman or Multiman because those two programs tend to heat up my PS3 Slim.

I think that would be a perfect addition to ManaGunZ. I prefer ManaGunZ over Irisman, Multiman and even webMAN Mod for its 3d cover options and coverflow look. But I'm missing the option to automatically copy PS2 iso files from NTFS usb to internal storage AND an easy option to delete selected PS2 isos from internal within the coverflow ui.

IMHO both features would make this excellent backup manager even better.
