do we have to change the partation type of external hdd ..i know its fat32 but what about primary paration / logical ..

coz inthe forums it says logical partation has to be made for ps3 to read the hdd ..

i think sony has done this on purpose ..small usb sticks are read on spot why not usb powered hdd .

do we need to use a y cable ..problem is that new usb 3.0 dont come with y cable any more ..what to do

^last time when i had ps3, i was also unable to play Last of Us, coz it was copied from ext to int hdd. it only worked when game was copied to int hdd thru ftp.

Reason is, the 4+gb sized files get split in ext hdd, and when it is copied back it doesnt unite or something.

or there might be some other solution.

the files of PS3 are all seperated (not a single file like ISO), and out of those files there are a few files which are more than 4gb sized.
just copy the game thru ftp to intrnal hdd of ps3.
if u dont know how to use ftp, dowmload Filezilla client on PC, on ps3 side open multiman and configure netwrk setings as to connect to PC. u can simply google for detailed instructions.

if u want to updat game u can go to multiman, select game, go to options and update.

Guys, Rogero 4.50 is out:
http://kickass.to/rogero-cex-4-50-v-1-00-multiman-04-50-01-full-ps3-t8040646.html
The shopkeeper from where I purchase my stuff (being the @$$ he is) is telling me to bring my system to him to upgrade my cfw for 600 rupees.
So, the uploader has stated the following methods to update my PS3:
"Method 1
Remove the disc from BD drive
Rename the downloaded firmware file Rogero CFW 4.50 v1.00.PUP to PS3UPDAT.PUP.
Copy the firmware file PS3UPDAT.PUP to USB flash drive (FAT32) to a folder PS3/UPDATE.
Insert the USB flash drive into the PS3.
Turn on the PS3.
On the PS3, select system updates, update from media and follow the instructions on the screen.
Firmware is installed.
Installing multiMAN completely




"Method 2
Remove the disc from BD drive
Rename the downloaded firmware file Rogero CFW 4.50 v1.00.PUP to PS3UPDAT.PUP.
Copy the firmware file PS3UPDAT.PUP to USB flash drive (FAT32) to a folder PS3/UPDATE.
Insert the USB flash drive into the PS3.
Turn off the PS3.
Press the power button and hold until you hear two beeps after which the PS3 will turn off, then release the button.
Push the power button and hold it until you hear the first one short beep, followed by two short beeps, then release the button.
Make all the instructions on the screen, select system update in the very last paragraph.
PS3 some time off (do not touch the console at this point), and as a result will lead you to setup screen.
Firmware is installed.
Installing multiMAN completely


Which method do you guys recommend? Is this safe (my PS3 is on UPS)? And I don't have to downgrade or anything right(currently on Rogero 4.46)?

    Started Dead Island 2, and i find it pretty lame. The story is shit. The characters are either cringe or bland (all 6 of them), The gameplay isn't fun. Even the goddamn zombies don't behave like proper zombies. They're all fast & intelligent unlike how zombies are supposed to be like. Any fan of "zombie" genre cannot possibly like this shitfest of a game. Dying Light 2 was million times better than this shit.

    tbh gaming industry as a whole is failing much like tech industry. They have buckled down too much to Corporate suites then relying on passionate and innovative people. A corporate only believes in financial growth and shareholders.
