I have just got my PS3Key and it seems to work fine. It allows me to install packages, I can ftp to my ps3. all that stuff works fine. However when I try to launch a game, it just dumps me back to the main PS3 screen. I have tried flex manager and open manager and the same thing happens. Both list the games fine, I even managed to get the covers to show up, but I'm not sure what I am missing. The only 2 games I have right now are the sports champions, and start the party. I copied the whole game over, but they do not launch, only dumps me back out to the main screen. Is there something else I have to install ? Any help would be much appreciated.
OK, forgive me, but I am slowly starting to figure out how this works. I guess I need to have an original game in the drive. I use open manager to select the game, and when I launch it, it basically goes back to the menu, and the system thinks that the game I want to launch is in the drive, is this correct ? I was able to launch start the party with sports champions in the drive. I thought the ps3key didn't require a disc in the drive, but maybe I'm mistaken. Anything else I'm missing here, or is this basically how it works ?
yup,,thats the only way to play the games,,,you need an original in the drive,,there will be a future update i hope that you wont need a disc in the drive,,just like the jtagged xbox,,but for now,,i can live with it,,
You dont need a disk in the drive. There should be a line of text that says something along the lines of apps/PS3 GAME. Load the game via the manager, go to XBM, select the item name as described above. Only a few games I have encountered so far still need disk in drive. Make sure you ahve the latest firmware on your PS3 Key as well http://www.ps3key.com/en/members/downloads/
