    PS3 Purchased PSN game - how to backup to avoid huge re-download?

    Great list. It helps me a lot understand what is stored where, and so choose the important bits which I need to backup regularly (the games I am currently playing and care about the progress data - for example) I am currently copying some of this stuff. The old PS3 is amazingly slow at...

    PS3 Purchased PSN game - how to backup to avoid huge re-download?

    Thanks for the info. There is enough data on hdd0 to make a complete backup not something I would want to do often. Also, chances are I would just want to restore this one or two games, not all the others. Are you saying I can just enable hen normally, then copy /game directory for the pinball...

    PS3 Purchased PSN game - how to backup to avoid huge re-download?

    I purchased a pinball game from PSN and downloaded it. On first run, it found an update and is currently downloading it - but it is 3.3 GB so it will take a while. My question is how do I backup this game so I do not have to download this all again? I am running a PS3 with the latest Hen, and...

    PS3 Superslim can see wifi but can't connect

    Well, we got a second one from the shop. The replacement was worse than the first one. On first start it reported a corrupt file system, and was never able to recover past about 40%. Maybe the Superslims are getting a bit unreliable. Anyway, he's given up, got his money back :(

    PS3 Superslim can see wifi but can't connect

    Well according to the config page on the router it is using WPA/WPA2. Yeah. It's in a different room, but it would be a good test. Actually, he just rang me and is having troubles with his controller when in wireless mode now. Maybe the console is sick. It is under a 90 day warranty, so...

    PS3 Superslim can see wifi but can't connect

    A friend has a Superslim PS3 that can see his wifi (scans and finds SSID) but when we try and connect to it, it fails saying the password may be wrong. We know the password is correct because it's the default one written on the router, and our phones and other computers all connect properly...

    PS3HEN PS3HEN - Official Release Thread (Homebrew Enabler for the PS3)

    Just to report that mine auto-updated this morning. It did report that it could not verify and a manual reboot was required - however after a reboot it worked first time. Now on 3.2.2

    Does this mean I should hold off on updating to 3.2.2 ?

    How do I stop PS3 from signing in to PSN?

    Thanks heaps. Yes I am on 4.90. I am not sure I fully understood it, but I generated a new device password (used the phone app), and when I fired up the PS3 and went to PSN it asked me to sign in. I happily unchecked the automatic signin box, and hit signin - forgetting that I had...

    PS3HEN Tips to avoid black screens & HEN init failures

    Seems to me that stuff plugged into the USB system seems to often stop HEN initialising. Yesterday HEN was just sitting spinning, and as soon as I unplugged a second controller that was plugged in and charging, HEN immediately finished initialising properly. I have also see it fail to...
