you go to the icon click on it, if that doesnt work (because you havent setup the folders correctly), press triangle, then go to display all, close thread

Yus, one trick i've learned of is to install a linux partition - that reads NTFS just fine.

ok, quick Q. Its a game file I've got on here. I can only seem to access the drive through Music, Pictures or videos, all of which say there is no associtated file. Howdo I install or copy the game file to the HD?

Is it a savegame, or an actual game?

If it's the former I believe you have to do it through the 'game data' screen under the game tab on XMB. If it's the latter, well that's a poorly bird of prey and we won't help you with that

Can you play avi files through a usb hard drive plugged into the PS3?

I downloaded a game demo from playstation network. I was at work at the time. Surely thats not illegal? lol

It's likely to be for the PSP then so why not plug the PSP into your PC?

Butters · 17 Mar 2008 at 19:56

eh!? Its for the PS3

ic1male · 17 Mar 2008 at 19:58

I'm confused. You've accessed the PSN on your computer at work and downloaded a demo? Last I knew, it was only the PSN for PSP that was available by Internet... :confused:

As far as I know there's no way to download PS3 demos (officially) from anywhere but a PS3. You won't be able to copy it onto the PS3 as the functionality just isn't provided.

I shall download it through the PS3 then

ic1male · 17 Mar 2008 at 22:12

Can you tell us what you've downloaded?

Butters · 17 Mar 2008 at 22:34
