Currently going through the process from the wiki page, but it doesn't seem to be changing directory when typing in "cd e:\patch" it just stays on the C:\users
What am I doing wrong?
NM, I was a fool for trying to change the directory to a temporary drive. All went well once I moved it to my desktop.

for dirt 2 you can recover 4gb if you delete the install.nfs file, but only after you've installed the game data.

Only a few games do this (I know F1 2010 does, it's another Codemasters game too) but most don't GT5 for example only extracts 60-70% of the files from the 11GB GT.vol, the rest are read from the disc.
You can delete extra content from some games. For example you can delete the Frontline .pkg from the new Medal of Honor.

So what is the best internal drive to buy?
It looks like some of them have stuttering problems.

Hey I got a really weird thing going on that I don't quite understand. I have a MGS 80 GB ps3 that I put a 640 GB HDD in and have been using flawlessly. I've had no problem installing and playing back my games. Now my friend brought his 60 GB Launch system over last night and we struggled for quite a while to get a 1 TB drive in there (succeeded in the end). All seemed well and good so we set it up properly and ran a restore for all the previous files before going to sleep. Now I wake up to start helping him install his games and run into a huge issue:
When trying to install a game through mulitMAN 1.14 (haven't tried Gaia 2.06 yet). It will let the copy run through until it almost finishes (99%), then freeze up and stop doing anything (HDD access led is no longer blinking and the console becomes unresponsive to any button inputs). I am going to try the Gaia, but this problem concerns me because it works perfectly fine on my system but I am getting these errors on his.
Another weird problem that I don't understand (it might be related) is that whenever I install a game to his HDD (using multiMAN 1.14) it doesn't show what files are being copied in the background like it does when I do the exact same thing on my system. Has this happened to anyone else? Is it just some setting in the .ini that could be changed?
Edit: Picture showing what happens:

Can I rip with Multiman or Gaia then FTP to my PC for storage and later use. Then I can just us my PC for storage.

Going through the stuttering problem thread linked to earlier, it seems that most people are having problems with the WD BPVT model hard drives, while finding success with the BEVT ones. The Seagate Momentus series also seems to be a good choice, along with some of the Samsung Spinpoints.
Since I can get it with my Prime account, I'm personally gong to try the WD6400BEVT.
While we're at it though, an HDD Compatibility list should probably be added to the wiki.

I tried this last night but I think my fireftp won't let me move files over 4gb to my nasbox for some reason.
I imagine you could, I just need to get a legit ftp client. I wonder if cute ftp is still around...
also.

if anyone hears anything about a mame emulator PLEASE PLEASE POST <3

Try using Gaia or running the fix permissions pkg: http://www.pshomebrew.net/wiki/Fix_File_Permissions

Fixed! It might be possible to run from external if you remove/downsample the FMVs though.

Yes.

It's not full MAME. But FBAnext supports CPS1/2/3, Neo Geo, Cave roms and more.

That picture was taken when I tried to install Killzone 2. I tried Disgaea 3 with Gaia since that is small and it went through completely. Killzone 2 is running now in Gaia so if I am lucky it will work fine.
I just don't understand how MM could install / copy perfectly for me, yet be so weird for him. I put the 1.14 MM on my usb and installed it on mine right before his so they should be exactly the same. I even tried backing up something onto an external from my ps3 and then copying it to his and that too showed no file data in the background and froze at 99%. I should also mention that this happened on both 1.13.04 w/ lvl2 and on 1.14.
Edit: Killzone 2 just installed fine through Gaia 2.05. Although, it says the game is 12.06 GB, while MM said 12.3. Weird.

So if I wanna go online tonight, to play a backup up game online ( let's say GT5 or whatever ), what PKG programs should I run and should I make a new PSN account and use that to play online?
I mean sure it's not safe but if I never go online I might be banned already anyway haha.

Wouldnt the safest way be to run the game directly from the disc? Then there isnt any backup manager running at least (assuming that it is easier for Sony to detect any backup manager if it is running rather than just being installed on the PS3).MMaRsu said:

FFXIII is compatible externally, I've been using it for a few days now.

Oh I know, but I just want to know what's the safest method aside from running it from the disc, because why even run the BM if you're not going to use it?
I haven't been online since I upgraded to CFW so I'm just wondering.
I just wanna go online and only worry about Sony checking if I have a CFW.

The backup manager would still be useful for games being played offlineMMaRsu said:
I just thought that it would be safer to run the game directly from the disc if you want to play online. I did get the impression that you werent going to play a lot of PS3 games online (but please correct me if i'm wrong), so it might be worth to run the game from the disc if you want to play online if you wanted the safest method (assuming that it is any safer to run the game directly from the disc instead of using a backup manager) http://psx-scene.com/forums/717956-post4865.html
sounds like deank got discless support working again in multiman.

Out of curiousity, why is discless mode needed? Isnt it just to have any disc in the PS3 and then the games will start?
True, you dont need to login to PSN to be able to download game updates. But seeing that connections are done to Playstation.net without being connected to PSN, i guess that the game updates are also coming from Playstation.netDoctorWho said:

I don't mind having a disc sitting in there, but I think some people rather have no disc at all and others have dead Blu-Ray drives on their PS3. I'm presuming those people have to rip games onto their computers via BD-drive and then FTP or transfer the game over another way.

But isnt it just rip all the games and then leave a "random" PS3 game in there?greatestjediever said:
But fair enough
Not having to have a disc in the PS3 can be more handy than having to have a disc in the PS3 indeed, but i was just wondering if there was any bigger advantage to have discless mode, like maybe the game could boot directly from the backup manager (or is that possible now? Or do you have to go back to the XMB to start the game?).squatingyeti

I think discless will mainly serve the older PS3 model crowd. Some of the fat models have seriously shoddy lasers and spending extra money to fix them, when no longer needed, just makes no sense.
Sorry if I'm posting a repeat question.
Suppose i'm playing a backup of one of my games. I play it, earn my trophies and complete the game or come close to completing the game.
I then copy that game save to a non jailbroken ps3 and load an official nlu ray copy of the game.
Will it recognize my game save and update the trophies?
