one question about the folding at home method

Do we have to delete the game we downloaded using the F@H method , before we can use the F@H method again to download another different game?
*
Nope. No need. After game installation, the file will be gone already, and you can start downloading the next demo through F@H.

What your PS3 region? You can use the following direct download link to download the update file:

(Asian Region)

http://dsa01.ps3.update.playstation.net/up...58/PS3UPDAT.PUP

Put the PS3UPDAT.PUP inside your thumbdrive/Memory Stick under PS3/UPDATE folder. Then, on your PS3 select System Update through Storage Device.

Nope, not exactly. You can use US update on Asian or Japan PS3. No difference. Well, I guess most Ceramic White PS3 sold here are Asian region.

if i update wit US region, is tht mean i need to create acc wit us address and the other way round?  unsure.gif

Most people use Asian update, the one that I just posted. And, it does not effect your PSN account registration. In fact, you can create multiple accounts; whether its Asian account or US account. You can use any region to logon and play online multiplayer. No restriction.

the cable in the pic appears to be a DVI-I Single Link cable. I had no idea which type of DVI to buy so I just took a risk  sweat.gif didnt really believe what the storekeeper said.  My HDMI-DVI cable is a bit different from the one in the pic.

the one I bought from All IT Hypermart is the 4th one from the top and it works just fine.

You cannot edit your PSN ID. You need to create a new one to enter PSN US. Just use a fake address with country set to United States.

I'm not near my proxy server pc to confirm this, but I think the address you entered shouldnt have that /..../ part. The full address must be used. the /..../ part is just shortform for a longer URL address.

yeah... i think thats the problem. URL address not correct. nod.gif
