Dear PS3 Sifus,
Need a bit of help here, i have an external USB notebook harddisk which is formatted with swissknife 40 GB FAT32. I plug it to the PS3, it can detect the USB device, but why it cannot detect the content ? I put in some MP3 songs and also some images into the harddisk, but the PS3 cannot detect the content ? Did i do anything which is incorrect here ? Thanks for your kind advise. |

QUOTE(SSJBen @ Aug 6 2008, 12:04 PM) No such converter for an optical-audio inline. If you want 5.1 surrond, the only way is through optical. Hi SSJBen,For me, I am using 2.1 speaker setup only. My PS3 is connected directly to my PC audio-in(Blue). Am using Belkin Wireles 54G modem router, no problems at all. Superb modem, the best I've used. As for Maxis BB..... forget it. Even if you can *somehow* manage to connect with the sh*tty connection, be prepared to be DCed like no tomorow. Which also means, forget about playing online. You need to create the correct folders in your HDD like this: PS3 > MUSIC > [Your MP3 file] You can also *force* your PS3 to view all the contents on your HDD. However, it will also reveal the binary codes, the hidden files and whatnot on your external HDD as well. May be confusing if you don't know what those files are for.  Thank you very much for your information, but how about video file and picture file ? What is the name of the folder that i have to create ? Is it like below : PS3/MUSIC PS3/VIDEO PS3/IMAGE Kindly advise and really really thanks for your quick response ! |

Thanks again ! |

QUOTE(cynicks @ Aug 14 2008, 12:20 AM) 1 question , I might missed the post. When I copied an .avi file to my thumbdrive, it doesn't detect the file. In your thumbdrive you need to have folders. If you put ur video file in the root, the PS3 will not be able to detect.How do I play avi files ? You need to create a folder in your thumbrive like below, all in capital letters : X:\VIDEO You should check the first page of this post, it will answer your questions later if your video cannot watch. This i learn from bro SSJBEN hehehehhee, correct me if i am wrong. |
