not enough usb ports
 

well true blue is in one port, and external hard drive in the other.. so how am i supposed to charge my controllers? can i plug it into my computer?
i tried a usb to wall plug for my phone and it didn't work... so any sugestions or what other people used?
i heard of people using usb 1 to 4 splitter.. but i'm not sure this would work with my external hard drive...

use a hub for more ports and you can charge the controllers with any usb port.... I charge mine with my Dreambox sat receiver :)

Indeed, the harddisk wouldn't be a smart idea to put on the hub. It will most likely, atleast on read use most of the USB bus :) It's realistic, if you place it on a hub with something else that it could throttle it.

I see no issue with putting your controllers on a hub with the trueblue though :)

would the true blue work on a hub?? i believe i just got my controller to charge off my computer usb port.. which will suffice..
but i thought the true blue had to be in the farthest right port? and i thought a hub might interfere with the dongle?

why dont u charge the controller ,when your not using the ps3 then u have 2 usb free

You are correct. The tb single looks for code from the usb000 port. So u can plug the single in the right port and hub in left. And u should be fine with the ext hdd and controller. But u can also charge the xontroller from almost any external source. Which i recommend so u dont have to have the ps3 on and continue to chance a ylod or raid from over use/ heating problems.

intersting but no, I have both my TB and my non-powered 1tb HDD plugged into a non-powered 4 port hub in USB port dev_usb006. TB has started fine and TB patched game from external (non-powered 1tb) booted up and played fine


Edit: now I'd recommend updating the dongle in the right most port, but except for updating TB should work from any port just fine (I've got 4 port and have had it in everyone plus in hubs)

because i would have to leave my ps3 on when i'm not using it.. controllers don't charge when the ps3 is off

thanks the feedback i'm glad someone has confirmed this working!!

Grrrrrrrrr

also had a 16gb flash drive and controller (charging) plugged into the hub, still no lag on game
