huh? so now what could i do with the hdd crashing problem? should i create partition again whilst format it? last night i didnt manage to format the hdd though, just good enough to create partition through WinXP boot. Dunno why, can go into ps3 manu. But once in game manu, or even loading game, it crashes and hangs.

Are you using a new HDD or still using the old one? You cannot format the HDD using PC and use it back on your PS3. It will prompt you to re-format the HDD.

I found this handy tool that formats large hard drives to FAT32.

Micrsoft says you "cannot format a volume larger than 32 gigabytes (GB) in size using the FAT32 file system".

This tool can format 40GB to 500GB hard drives in FAT32. Abit extreme though.

This might come in handy for those who want to format their MPx players. I will be testing this format tool with some of my MPx player shortly to see how well this works. But might solve problems people are having when trying to format their player, especially if they are believed to be 'hacked'.

Instructions:

1. Save the fat32format.exe to the root of C:\drive.

2. Click [Start] --> [Run] and type in cmd.

3. Type C:

4. Type in CD \

5. Type fat32format f:
(if your MPx player is labelled as the f: drive, otherwise use the letter that Windows has given your MPx player).

6. Click "Y" to confirm the format.

Full instructions are here.

mayat internal hdd bukan pakai format fat32 ler..itu kalau external hdd.....kah kah kah kah

mayat sudah gila

8 PS3s = 200 Supercomputers


If research is your thing, then PS3 is where it's at! Dr. Gaurav Khanna is employing a cluster of eight PS3s to help measure theoretical gravity waves, running highly optimized Linux code on them for results.

"The interest in the PS3 really was for two main reasons," said Khanna, who is an assistant professor at the University of Massachusetts, Dartmouth who specializes in computational astrophysics. "One of those is that Sony did this remarkable thing of making the PS3 an open platform, so you can in fact run Linux on it and it doesn't control what you do."

According to the report, Khanna previously relied on various supercomputing sites spread across the US, each time costing up to $5000. But now he can pair up eight PS3s ($3200), which offer him performance of up to "200 of the supercomputing nodes"; and it can also be used indefinitely. "Basically, it's almost like a replacement," he says. "I don't have to use that supercomputer anymore, which is a good thing."

PS3 - a researcher's wet dream. Now, where are the games, dammit?

wat can it do?

Hi Everybody,

Selamat Hari Raya and Maaf Zahir Batin to all.

Just managed to switch on my PS3 after missing out the last two PSN update..I was at my kampung.

Purchased Everyday Shooter...Only managed to play it for about 30 mins...will post my impression later...but I can't seems to find any leaderboards functionality tho....

BUT...I'm so pissed off at the slow speed while downloading from PSN...After 2 hrs of digging on the intarweb...I managed to learn how to download the Demo via PC ( which is WAAAAYY faster - Max speed of my 1.5 MB streamyx connection) and install it via PS3 proxy to the PS3.

So now I'm currently downloading Ratchet....hopefully will be able to play it within 2 hrs after I finished downloading it.

So the questions is...

1. Is everybody having teh same exp... i.e. slowness in the dl speed.

2. Ninja and also anybody else with experience in using the PS3 proxy. Any idea how can I maximise the trf speed of the .pkg file to the PS3. currently I'm only getting speed of around 250 kb only...

Thanks!
