i guess u all dont understand my question or ive explained wrongly..

i did a full backup on my previous ps3. now what i want to do is to transfer only the save game and not do a full restore.

do u get what im trying to explain here ?

AFAIK, you cannot restore selectively and have to do a full restore hmm.gif

PS3 is not friendly to anime watching even with firmware 2.4* installed - most latest releases are not recognised, some old releases not playable as well. hmm.. apart from converting, what are my options? any threads on PS3 linux? thanks smile.gif

you have to re-try several times. i tried 5-6 times before i managed to get the update. the spec iii update was easier for me 'cos the d/l will continue from where it stopped.
