I'm back to using my PC and Media Go as my PSP fridge. But they updated Media Go recently as well and it broke some things... Ended up losing a Star Ocean save over it. Was near the end of the game too. Dammit.

Hey Guest. Check out your NeoGAF Wrapped 2025 results here!
PS3 FW 4.00 removes PSP copy functionality for installed PSone/Minis
- Thread starter Wario64
- Start date
huh? I thought the install bubble disappears after installing? Is this one of the things they changed in 4.0 too? Is it only for Vita/PSP compatible content like minis/PS1/PSP games?
Huh, now that I look I see saves aren't in Media Go anymore, though they ARE on the computer still.
... Why are you fucking everything up Sony?

It's pretty fucking scary how closed and walled PS4 will be. Like a fucking fortress that only accepts your CC.
PS3 to PS4 will be like, dunno, PC to Mac?

Probably more like PC to iPad at this rate. I'd lament that this is what happens when people abuse an open system, but it seems more an example of what happens when you fail to keep a system as secured as you should have.
EDIT: Nevermind, you just click on games then Saved Data. Wouldn't have surprise me with Sony as of late though if they had neutered it.

I don't know, every time you copy from PS3 to PSP there is an online check that verifies if your PSP is linked to your account and if Firmware is not updated doesn't let you copy
It doesn't anymore for items you can play on both PSP and PS3. After you install them, the bubble stays there so you can move those items to a PSP later since installed items can't be copied anymore.

I noticed this, too. What a crock.
I can understand the need to redownload to have some MD5 check for security, but... not auto-installing PSP/Minis is horseshit. At least let PS+ auto-reupdate these things.

Great another update that takes away features from my PS3. Not that this effects me in any way, but seriously, does Sony ever add features with their updates?

So it s not as world ending as we thought then?
Only things left to complain about is the re-downloading of all your stuff to get these "new" bubbles.
Not being able to place said bubbles in a folder.

Why do you say that? Because you can have more than 32 install bubbles? That's STILL terrible. We shouldn't even have to keep one.
I don't think I've ever seen it smaller than the actual game. But boy do I love redownloading stuff and fragmenting my HDD

Well its like they are making the bubbles no different from the installed version since they will stay after you install. *shrug*
The problem now is that you cant move them to a custom folder or if there is a speed difference between install bubble to psp and installed game to psp.
...and not being able to transfer an installed game

Mac isn't closed or walled off at all. It's just that less people work on software for the platform.
That's the old bubble format or the new format ?
I have seen comments that the PS3 filesystem auto-defrags itself before it shuts down.
If the system crashes, it will also do a disk check now.
The installed app/game may be tied to the PS3. Copying to another device won't work if this is the case.
Unless the app is written for Playstation Suite (Mono bytecode ?), it may not be playable across platform. The other apps/games (PSOne, PS2, etc.) may be tied to native architecture too.

Oh hey, fancy seeing you here ^.^
I used Media Go for years and found that it was alright; if nothing else, the download speeds were much better than using the PSP or PS3 over the same connection. It's going to become much more of a requirement now that Vita is removing the ability to present itself as mass storage.

yes. as in, making you do something you've already done once, & not arranging for a folder when setting the whole thing up. not world ending, just randomly half-assed

They should at least allow you to assign an album name to installs so that they won't be sticking out on top of everything in the Game column.

I used Media Go back when it came out, it wasn't too bad.
The biggest problem with it, especially if Sony wants people to use it going forward, is the lack of Mac support. Come on Sony, it's not 1999 anymore.
I couldn't figure out why Corpse Party would not install a few nights ago. Now I discover that my beautifully organized folder of installed PSP games is worth exactly jack shit. I recently jumped to PS3 because I was growing tired of all the MS bullshit but I guess it is just a race to the bottom on both sides.
EDIT: And I can't copy over my PSX games? Come the fuck on!

Redownloads ahoy!
Really? They've added a shitload of features in the many updates (and taken quite a few things away, obviously).
EDIT: They're adding an XMB link to buy a memory card? WTF!

So the old installs will still be useless, right? Cause I already deleted them and would be greatly annoyed if they fixed that. If it's just letting us sort installers now, then that's good. Still think Sony should've informed us of any incoming changes though. Doing it without doing so is pretty scummy.
Oh and lol at that second change.

Link or it's fake
Sadly, even as a joke, that update wouldn't be that far fetched from Sony. It wasn't that obvious
Where did that text come from?
Oh come on, like that wasn't an extremely plausible update. Take pride in your ability to do a pitch-perfect parody of Sony's style!

His idiotic sense of humour.
If he ran with it further I'd bet it would have ended up on IGN
It's not too late for Kotaku
Pretty much
The way I read it was "fixed the option for sorting, and then added a link to buy memory cards". The link thing sounds dumb, but I could totally believe it coming from Sony.
how could that not be a joke?
Oh, no, he wrote "the complete changelist is as follows" as in, the link to the high capacity stick fixes the problem.
The same way FW 4.00 isn't a joke
To be fair, people say that about the majority of legit Sony PR.
Well, that wasn't the intention. It was supposed to read like "Don't worry, we've got a solution. Here's the change list"

Pretty douchey...
Me and others have been hoping that an update comes out to address the odd system crashes that never happened on our systems until 4.00
