Post: A note to future cloners & duplicators
01-31-2011, 09:54 AM #1
(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Most of you have seen how to duplicate/clone on GT5. After the firmware update, you will no longer be allowed to save your data to your USB or be able to use your saved data from your USB to your PS3.

Why has this happened? Sony have now put strict security measures in their new firmware which disallow any form of USB or HDD.

If you're thinking of cloning or duplicating any time soon, I wouldn't recommend it (if you're on 3.56). If you're on firmware 3.55, knock yourself out as there are no security measures.

Do not risk it, you could lose your data forever.

If they introduce the online cache for saving, couldn't you just do the same thing & dupe from there?

I was on 3.56 and it doesn't stop me duplicating car from my dupe to my main.

So, I will say your claims is not true.

Cheers!

I think it does work, but only on certain models i.e. those with 16Mb flash memory rather than those with 256Mb Flash memory.
Have a look at this link to see what people are saying.

Okay? It may for you but doesn't for me. No need to stick your nose up at me about it.

Thanks for clarifying this, it doesn't work for me in the UK, maybe it's probably the type of USB I'm using, idk.

This is a hardware bug issue from the latest firmware upgrade, not a GT5 issue.
