Newbie questions [resolved]

Post by roger1fr »

Automatically translated from French.

Hi to the world and its inhabitants :arff:
Just a few questions that come to mind reading various forums and that puzzle the few neurons I have left:
Once the 3.55 Kmeaw CFW is installed:
1/ Is it possible to play directly from isos placed on an external HDD without going through the internal HDD?

2/ Does the external HDD need to be formatted in FAT32 or NTFS, because opinions seem to differ. I know about the 4GB limit, but games are getting bigger and bigger and there would be tricks to split them into several parts.

3/ To play from the external HDD do you absolutely need to put an original game in the blue ray drive for the game to launch. I admit I don't really understand why if that's true... :?:

4/ On some sites, it's stated that you absolutely need a key (I think it's a PSKey) to access the external HDD? True or false.

A noob question I said but I'm not the only one asking it. My concierge came this morning to ask me but I didn't know what to tell her since she's been sulking, and she doesn't want to do the stairs and bring in the trash cans anymore :arff: .... so now I'm the one doing it :62:

Thanks for any answers

Once the 3.55 Kmeaw CFW is installed:
1/ Is it possible to play directly from isos placed on an external HDD without going through the internal HDD?
Yes but some games need to be placed internally (ex: killzone 3)
2/ The external HDD, does it need to be formatted in FAT32 or NTFS, because opinions seem to differ. I know about the 4Go limit, but games are getting heavier and heavier and there would be tricks to split them into several parts.
-Fat 32
-yes but it doesn't work on all games (splitting).
-ps: ntfs is just with multiman "for copying games only"
3/ To play from the external HDD do you absolutely have to put an original game in the blue ray drive for the game to launch. I admit I don't really understand why if that's true... :?:
-some games require launching with a blu-ray in the drive, others don't!!
ex: killzone 3 and Marvel vs Capcom 3 without Bd-rom and Assassin's creed brotherhood Crysis 2 ... with Bd in the drive.
4/ On some sites, it's stated that a key is absolutely required (I believe it's a PSKey) to access the external HDD? True-false.
False!! Custom firmwares exist. keys are no longer relevant.
Noob question I was saying but I'm not the only one asking. My concierge came this morning to ask me this but I didn't know what to tell her, since then she's been sulking, and she doesn't want to do the stairs anymore or bring in the trash cans :arff: .... so now I do it :62:
:accord:

Hi Salahpayne,
and thanks to you for these clear and precise answers.
I'm making progress little by little.
However, I don't quite understand what you mean about NTFS when you say " with Multiman just for copying games". Does that mean you can't play them?
On Arnauto's advice I have to install Multiman and so I think I'll only use this program. According to you, what should I do? FAT32 or NTFS?

And by the way, when I told my concierge that, this morning she picked the broom back up :bat:

if you want to play with an external hard drive it absolutely has to be in FAT32, however if you want to transfer files bigger than 4go you can do it with an NTFS hard drive but only for the transfer. look here the tutorial

Hi MachOne,
actually I was about to put game images on the HDD which is in FAT 32, but they're all bigger than 4Go. As it's stated in the tutorial that you can't play from the external HDD in NTFS, I wonder what's left for me to do.
IF I can only play tetris I admit I'm a bit disappointed :?
PS: I'm on CFW355 KMEAW and MULTIMAN 1.16.13...

Or once again I didn't get it :62:

The folders, the isos?
I don't really understand the difference.
Here's what I wanted to do:
1/ I have original ps3 games I bought, burnout paradise, fifa 2009, assassin creed. I wanted to make an image or iso of them to put on the HDD to have everything together and avoid putting them in and taking them out, etc...
2/ I have original games that friends lent me (but I should of course give them back)
3/ I have original movies (dvd and blu ray).
Take for example the dvds of the lord of the rings trilogy that I have in extended edition and which are each more than 4Go. Every time I want to watch one, it stops in the middle because it's burned on two sides.
I was planning to put everything on the HDD and enjoy everything in one click on the living room's big screen.
In my mind, I'm only after convenience that's all.
If I'm doing something wrong don't hesitate to tell me...

You'll be able to copy them to your Hdd without issue and play them without problems.
2/ I have original games that friends lent me (but I should of course give them back)
Same, you'll be able to Copy them onto your console with Multiman (round button)
3/ I have original movies (dvd and blu ray).
Take for example the dvds of the lord of the rings trilogy that I have in extended edition and which are each more than 4Go. Every time I want to watch one, it stops in the middle because it's burned on two sides.
I was planning to put everything on the HDD and enjoy everything in one click on the living room's big screen.
For the movies you'll have to Rip them on a Pc and copy them without issue to an internal or external Hdd in Fat32. and watch them as you like. but the ps3 can't rip them itself.
In my mind, I'm only after convenience that's all.
Same, I'm also after convenience :mrgreen:
If I'm doing something wrong don't hesitate to tell me...
The games you can copy with multiman (or any other manager) but not the movies. you have to rip them via a pc first.

Hi Salahpayne
your answers are always so clear and it really is a pleasure. :accord:
Once again thank you :100:

You gave me the MULTIMAN 1.16.14 link. Arnaudo made me a pack 2 days ago with MULTIMAN 1.16.13 and I thought that was the latest.
Is there a big difference with 1.16.14?
I read the improvements, but I didn't understand a THING!
By the way, I still don't understand why MachOne wanted me to reassure him? If he thinks I'm a top-notch hacker, let me reassure him, I won't be asking noob questions - it's one of the few terms I actually know -
I'm mostly a PC guy and I've only just started on consoles a few days ago.
I think that just from reading my posts one can tell I'm no Einstein when it comes to computers. :arff:
But let him rest assured, I don't take anything the wrong way. The only things I take badly are my meds (see my introduction), but my Kangaroo needs them. :arff:

See you soon for sure since at the rate I'm going, I'll still need a lot of advice :74:

hi, yes salah answers your questions perfectly and it could also help other people in the same situation as you so feel free to ask :bravo: .
machone meant that you don't need the iso format for a backup of your ps3 games, iso is a compression format whereas on ps3 the games aren't compressed so no iso format, you'll find them on your hdd as a plain folder.
so to clarify the "file over 4G" point you need to understand a simple thing, fat32 doesn't support files bigger than 4G we agree on that but we're talking about filesand not folders so clearly a game (folder) of 6.35G can transfer to an external hdd if it doesn't contain any filesover 4g which is very common, a game (folder) over 4G doesn't necessarily contain a file over 4g and even less so games of 3.80g :arff: , even games of 10g can transfer. to know if your game is FAT32 compatible there's sizefilewhich is a small easy to use program (you drag the folder of your game into it and it tells you compatible or not), if you can't find it I'll make you a megaupload link, I can't find it on the forum :(

Hi Arnauto, (and the others)
I really have trouble, believe me! I reread your post 3 times, so I must be really tired or I'm not cut out for consoles, because there are things I still haven't quite understood. It's ok, that's Altzeihmer :93: - yeah I never said on the forum that I was over 50 years old with grey hair because in a post a guy said the forum was forbidden to fifty-somethings (I'm joking of course).

In the meantime, since I have the HDD in FAT32, and I've installed everything you sent me, I'm going to try putting the games I own on it to see if it works.
It might take some time but I'll keep you posted.
Again and always thanks for your patience and your advice :accord:

Well, you learn something new every hour!
I was able to copy the images or folders - I still don't know how to call them - bigger than 4Go onto the external HDD into a Gamez folder, and then I copied them onto the internal HDD. So far so good :accord:
I had put in a Blue Ray disc just in case, and everything went fine up to...100%.
Since it stayed on "wait" even though the copying was finished, I had to restart the ps3 because no button on the controller worked anymore.
Once the ps3 was back on, going through multiman, I saw the game in question was indeed there... But, no way to launch it, with or without blue ray in the drive. Every time it goes back to the XMB :74:

I keep floundering, so I search and I notice there are eboot.bin and param.sfo files that need to be changed depending on the game....
well that's all I needed :93:
I'm really exhausted now, at every step I discover a new thing that leads me to another thing.
If it keeps up, I'm going to give this ps3 back...
To be continued in the next episode.

Oh by the way, I hope it doesn't matter, but I could only install MUltiman and not BDEMU. Don't know why; I hope it's not related to that... :shock:
I think all by myself I've had everyone's problems combined :arff:
well then :bn: see you tomorrow guys.

well yes actually there's a good chance it's related to that, sure and certain 1000%, try to absolutely install BDEMU otherwise the lvl2 won't be patched, to put it simply, the lvl2 is the little thing that lets you launch backups of your games.

At your service roger1fr but I have the feeling that arnauto is going to take care of you so you're in very good hands.

Hi,
ok I managed to install BDEMU.
No improvement.
I also installed a file called FIXS_PERMISSIONS_Waikoko_Kmeaw_3.55.pkg.
On the xmb the MULTIMAN icon changed name to simply FIXS PERMISSIONS, but I have the same theme as with MULTIMAN.
As of today, as I mentioned in another post about the 8001009 error. I only have two games that work: Crysis 2 and Tiger Wood 11.
I might try putting on another manager, like Gaia or Rogero.
We'll see :roll:

Since I've now put the big problem on the other post, I'm going to mark this one as [resolved]
