How large is that flash drive of yours? Better be one big ass drive if you plan on using it for PS3 backups. Use the search box. This has been posted many times before.

I have 16 GB flash drive

Playing a game directly FROM a flashdrive isn't possible as the Ps3 itself needs to run the game. The USB itself cannot run it, and the Ps3 requires it to be installed. Sorry.

some games are larger than 20gb and some are less get 2tb hard drive if you want to play backup games.

not true!!!

Inside the flash drive make a folder called GAMEZ and then get the id of the game as another folder inside it. I.e \GAMEZ\BLESXXX\(everything inside the games folder as in PS3_GAME, PS3_EXTRA... etc).

Some games can run off a USB device, but some games cannot be run off it.
(someone correct me if im wrong)

So untrue buddy. Know your fact's before you post something of the such.

you download the game extract it once its done extracting drag and drop it to your flash drive will take 40 mins...NOW depeding what ur backup manager is u Make a folder called GAMES OR GAMEZ and then ur ps3 game put it on ur ps3 launch ur Back up manager and u will see the game and just press X to launch :p
