Installing Linux will only give access to the card reader in OtherOS mode not in XMB

ooo...so this means XMB is not a linux OS laa... aiyyaa..such a noob.. i tot the linux replaces the xmb..
hm..another simple question here..let say i install the linux, when restart the PS3, will it go into linux or the XMB?

They are totally different and you can only run either of them at a time. It will boot into linux if you specify it to do so in XMB system settings. If not, the machine will boot into XMB as usual.

aaaa.... finally i'm enlightened... thanx mate!

The $4.99 one is only 1.5 meters while the $6.99 one is 2 meters and is also sleeved.

Does anyone find any brand/type of USB webcam that can be used with PS3 other than PSEye ? Let me know can ?

anyone here using PSP radio?

hi..
i would like to ask, can i upgrade my jap ps3 with a US version firmwave?
Thanks

So far, Sony released a single exact file for all regions even though they are hosted on different servers in every firmware update. So it is safe to update using any update file.

I have to disagree. I read in the US forums, someone updated his EU system using US update, his PS3 just breakdown.

Maybe didn't happen to everyone, but I advise to be on the safe side. Firmware updates can't be undone, and Sony has a warning every time you do it.

Why would you take the risk to update using firmwares from other than your region anyway?

Check the md5 of these files and you'll see what I meant

Maybe. But if you ask me, better be safe.

Up to you.. I've been upgrading my JPN console with files from US/UK server since 1.52 because it is too slow to download from JPN server (XMB). Whatever it is, I also checked the URLs first before downloading to be safe

for example fw 2.10:

Thanks Vorchiel
it is a good information

lately got many female ps3 owner..

Hey guys
Getting a new wireless router for my PS3.
Can anyone recommend a good / realiable wireless router for PS3.. or for laptop in general.
Oh..it is better to get wireless modem+router (2 in 1) or a wireless router connect to TMNET (free+china modem). In terms of speed and reliability, does it make a difference?
Thnks in adv

personally i would prefer wireless modem router

try getting linksys. damn cheap these days.. last time need to fork out around 400 plus jus for the router itself.. now 200 or less can get a good one di.

Why? better performance???
Just thought that i can save some with the free modem
But if you scarifice speed and reliability. Not worth it..
Pls share your experience.

for me no real loss in speed and reliability , reduce wires, save one electrical point, less mess

yea u can save some with the existing modem, just do some settings to ur existing modem to bridge mode, if not u sure will have trouble getting to play online
if u cant set it to bridge mode, then bye bye to online gaming
