(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); okay, so I had a major problem this morning !!
My 3.41 ps3 YLODed !!!
managed to get it running again by reflowing CPU/GPU but scared it might happen again..
So i started trying some stuff :p
From my 3.41 i data transferred 6 different patches to my other ps3 (which is on 3.50)
detail: I transfered them to 6 different HDD :p
now I can change patch just by replacing HDD

now this may not be interesting to people who actually HAVE a 3.41, but imagine this:
your friend has 3.41 ps3, you don't..
you take your ps3 over to his place with 3 or 4 HDD, transfer some patches to the HDDs & once you get home, just swap HDD to change patch

I'm doing this right now & even though data transfer doesn't take that long, this is a LOT faster :p

maybe this helps, maybe it doesn't, but at least I tried


EDIT:
just to stop the spamming (got like a million messages about something that's EXPLAINED on this forum, but thought i'd just add it here..)

TUTORIAL:
---------------

needed:
- 2 x PS3 (3.41 & 3.50)
- converted patches for PS3: download You must login or register to view this content.
- Ethernet cable (straight or cross) ==> THIS IS AN ORDINARY INTERNETCABLE, FOR THE NOOBS AMONG YOU !
- on your(/the) 3.41 you need the FTP server installed (read You must login or register to view this content. to configure it)

what do you do:
- use filezilla to upload a modded patch to your 3.41 PS3
- use data transfer utility to transfer the data on your 3.41 system to the 3.50 ps3
- swap the HDD in the 3.50 system, put in another one & format (you will need 3.50 update on usb drive to do this! download 3.50 You must login or register to view this content.)
- repeat steps 1 - 3 for every patch/HDD you have & start swapping

if any questions, post HERE & don't pm me, as other might be able to answer questions better than me

Good Job. I got A 3.15 Ps3 Waiting to That Bring PSGroove to It.

everytime when i swap HDDs the ps3 says that it must be formated...

try the 2gb disc
Tell me how it worked out, I wanna see if there's a MIN limit to HDD size in ps3

EDIT:
updated original post, cause there were too many questions in my message box

if i had the money i would seriously buy one with a patch where i can choose who to verify

backing up ??
you need to hook up 2 ps3s to get this to work..
it's not the backup function you use, but DATA TRANSFER UTILITY !!
TRANSFER your DATA (read modded patch) from the 3.41 to the 3.50 ps3, then just boot mw2 on 3.50 system & THERE'S YOUR MODS !

60gb drive will only have 54gb free because of the File Allocation Table (basically a quick menu for the drive to localize files & jump to that sector ==> faster than reading entire drive everytime)
this is where the FAT32 comes from, because your disc is formatted in this structure..

NTFS loses even more space on disc, but is (read: should be :p) faster & more secure..
too bad only WINDOWS uses this file system
