f@h upgrade

msmalls74 · 25 Apr 2007 at 22:30

According to a few websites the PS3 gets a new version of its f@h client on Thursday.
Exhibiting its continued commitment to the program, SCE also announced that starting tomorrow, it is providing a Folding@home application update that will further enhance the user experience. The updated software features an improvement in folding calculation speeds, increased visibility of user location on the globe and the ability for users to create longer donor or team names.

PS3 users can download the new update version 1.1 by restarting the Folding@home application. New Folding@home users can join the program by simply clicking on the Folding@home icon within the Network menu of the XMB™ (XrossMediaBar) or can optionally set the application to run automatically whenever the PS3 is idle

Do you have to register to use the F@H?

Just wondering because I'd rather register online than on the PS3

There's no registration, per se. When you set up a client you tell it your name. When it completes work it will credit points to the name you gave it. There are no user accounts in any traditional sense.

Feel free to point your PS3 to BillytheImpaler(OcUK) on team 10
