 Re: Version update to 1.5 - Warning?
Ok- first thing to do is take the memory stick and put it into your computer. It should open a window to show what you have on there (if anything) or bring up something like this:
Select the option i did in the picture here and hit OK. This should bring up a new window showing what you have on there. Now, click with the right mouse button in an empty area of the window and you will have a menu show up. Hover the arrow on New and another menu appears- click on Folder. (BTW, ignore the other folders in the pic- those are from digital camera use.)
You will need to name this folder PS3 (just type it when the folder shows up and hit enter on the keyboard, the letters must be in caps).
Go into this folder and make another one just like you did before and name this UPDATE (again, all caps). This folder is where you will eventually put the update file, otherwise the PlayStation 3 can't see it.
Now, you will need to be online for this bit. Go to PlayStation.com - PLAYSTATION®3 - Network - updates in your web browser on the computer and click on the "download now" button beside the picture of the PS3. save the file where you will remember it (on the desktop is good enough, do NOT rename it). Once it is downloaded move the file into the folders you made on the memory stick, making sure to put it into UPDATES.
Now you can put the memory stick into the PS3 and go to the Network Update. This time, however, pick "Update via external device"- it should see the update and start installing from there. You will have to connect the controller with the USB cable and hit the PS button.
That does it- once the install is done and the system restarts you can delete the file from the memory stick. I know it sounds like a lot but it is really very simple. Hope this helps you out.  |
