(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); The developer behind the Ps3Wizard, as well as several other works, PsDev brings us a new application to use on our PCs that checks to see if you have everything setup correctly on your USB to install CFW. Now no one should have any problems not being able to put the CFW onto their USB drive.



As my first contest entry-

I was bored, so I whipped up an application that checks to see if the folders that you have to setup for you to be able to install the CFW on the ps3 are named and correct so you never have to wonder why the ps3 could not find the update. Source code is included



Took me 5 min to develop



How to: Just place the .exe file in your flash drive where you have your folders and cfw setup run it and it will tell you if there is a typo, the foldername correct, the pup name correct and then if so it tell you your ready to go. THE PROGRAM HAS TO BE RIGHT WHERE THE FOLDERS ARE REMEMBER



Pictures:



With everything correct-



it should look like that ^^^^^



WITH A ERROR like wrong spelled folder

// - Verify 'Cfw' folder

SourcePath += "\\PS3\\UPDATE\\PS3UPDAT.PUP";

cout << "- Checking see if Folders For CFW are correct" << endl;



if (!Exists(SourcePath))

Quit("Error: Folders are not correct(" + SourcePath + ")
");




Quit("
You are now ready to the USB into the ps3!
");

return 0;

Just a tip, you generally shouldn't use 'using namespace std;' and instead if you need something from std such as cout use std::cout as using namespaces will blow up in your face eventually, especially if you start to create larger applications and use more libraries in your programs.
