If I change my mind in the future and would like online is it just a case of updating with OFW? Also what kind of size will the games be once on a HDD ? I only have a 60gb but will purchase an external HDD if needed. Great tutorial man I think even i will be able to do it lol. cheers daz

hey no problem. if you decide later that you want online all you have to do is go back to official firmware then you can update it. but be ware if you decide you want your custom firmware back the only way you will be able to get it back will be with a hardware flasher witch requires soldering. as far as the hdd goes, i would recomend a 1tb external so that you have plenty of room. the games are anywhere from 5gigs to 40 gigs. hope that helps.

Thanks very much for the reply mate . I didnt realise the games were that big lol. I wasnt sure if they were like the wii games when backed up to a hdd most of them shrink loads.
Is there an app that allows backup blurays to be played aswell?

on your usb stick create a file structure like below. also the folders have to be in all caps.

PS3/UPDATE/PS3UPDAT.PUP
