Hi all!
I'm a total PS3 n00bie but I hope to learn a lot from the bright folks up here. I have the old 60GB PS3 with a 500GB drive in it. I wanted th...
Based on what little info I could find, I believe you are right... assuming you can launch it via disc from within the Bootloader.
I already followed the installation steps on this forum. The only thing I'm not sure about is the iso file. Do i have to burn that image on a disk and have it on the ps3 drive while the otheros.bld loads up??
Hopefully somebody does a step by step guide. Since I search the web but no luck yet
i can change the resolution via keyboard (the controller can't connect) and the tv shows that the resolution has been changed, but it's still just black.
You need to allocate space for the OtherOS partition, so yes. However, once you do it and install an OtherOS file, you can just overwrite the .bld so no, you won't have to format each time.
but to install this do i need to format my hdd and is it required every time i want to install a different bootloader?
