First PS3 backup info released

it doesnt even make sense, PAL should be in line right now waiting for ours to finish obviously...

 

some proof would be nice.

 

i just really want to know what version have they tested this up to?!

so then i can make a decision as to shall i sell my 1.6 jap PS3 or keep it!!??

 

hi so when will we be able to play iso games on the ps3 and how will we do it

 

you do it by reading through this thread and doing some research

 

Note from PDX

 

Some news from ps3news left by pdx.

That's kool how they got sc out before tues. I don't get who made summer 07 the best if it's not even here yet. I know dark alex made summer 06 good. Are they bring him back into it again? whoo knowz

 

"a nudge and warning of the tidal wave coming"? i hope that's the loader, but i'm probably going to be disappointed.

 

ya if they got splinter cell db out before street date. Y dont they make it playable before street date by releasing the loader tomorrow or tonight.

 

lol, who cares when they release it, we cant do crap with the games, i say dont even work on the games until we can actually play them on the ps3 from the HDD.... so pointless, they are happy for another game release when we cant do anything with it

 

Hi guys,
By: "Now just remember who made summer of 2007 the best.", I think they meant: "We will make the summer of 20007 the best, and you should remember it.", when it happens.
So they might be saying that they will release the loader before the summer so that we can have a great summer!

Hmm, is my theory too far-fetched?!

Oh, I got carried away with those zeroes!

And why does it say that I'm a newbie? It's written there, under my username. So publicly!

I really hope they release it before the summer. So many games coming out that I want to play..
I'm hesitant to buy an external hard drive (not internal, because I don't really see the point in that - it costs more for less storage) because I don't know if there will be certain limitations as far as compatibility goes. For instance, I've read about the formatting of the hard drive (I know that you can always change that) and also the speed, such as the PS3 working best with a hard drive at its own speed (not the 7200rpm one, or whatever it is). And I'm also hesitant to install any stuff like Linux because I'm thinking we might not need it.

*I plan to buy an external hard drive really soon (need it to back up my computer files because I'm going to clean install vista again). I'm hoping I'll be able partition it so that it will be part NTFS and part FAT32, for use with both my laptop and PS3. The only thing I'm unsure of is the rpm speed the PS3 can handle/works best with. Will a faster rpm speed (7200rpm) make things unstable, since the PS3 comes with a 5400rpm drive?

 

A guy over there in the forums in making some big progress. He was able to load a film iso in linux and i believe he crashed it to get to xmb and the film worked. And he is still experimenting with things. He has 1.60 too! there may be hope even if we update!!

 

I wish they would just release the loader. I don't want to screw with my PS3 until I know for sure that I have to. As for the 1.60 firmware, I don't really need it. All I've been doing is playing Resistance offline/co-op and some PS2 games. If I had broadband internet, then I would definitely have upgraded firmwares by now. But since I don't need to play online, I'm alright holding off on the firmware updates.

 

Everyone needs to forget bout PDX... Their mindless rants about what they want us to believe are child play.. Check out the guys in the other forums...They seem to have made more sense in the Last week than PDx has since the PS3 came out....

 

Hey Jlhfit, you say "Check out the guys in the other forums...They seem to have made more sense in the Last week than PDx has since the PS3 came out....".

What forum? Who? Where? Is there a link?

 

I bought this one http://www.futureshop.ca/catalog/proddetail.asp?logon=&langid=EN&sku_id=0665000FS10080571&catid= .hope it works well with my ps3

 

Nice.
I got this one.
here
I think they will work. But like I said, I've read somewhere (it wasn't the most reliable place, but still) that the PS3 will work best with hard drives that run at 5400rpm. That's all that is really worrying me.

 

Ok... 1st I dont know why PS3 neWS BANNed me, all I ask on of the guys, not even a mod... "if he happened to be Paradox giving us hints" Then bam I was banned from posting...... THats a little suspicious.. Seems to me THey are checking out and commenting on our post...
Anyway I came back he to write, that I have been trying and playing with linux....Since PDX cant get it right.... Ok... I have numerous questions... 1st let me start by saying.... I was able to copy swap magic and a ps2 game to my external HDD through Linux.... But I formatted to EXT3.... Ok YD reconizes the drive, but XMB doesnt..WHy??? Will it only reconize FAT32?? and if so..>WTF... thats basically hindering us from loading big game off the drive....
Ok I cant see my hdd in XMB mode now to even test the stuff I have done.... WHat do I do from here???? I am going to change formats back to FAT32 and try the dumps again.... I think that is we can somehow get PS2 game backs working then that will open the door to how the PS3 Loader works.... Please Everyone instead of bashing me and others..... HELP together..... Start putting all your trial and errors here...... Thanks
