Hacking Copy games to internal HDD

[dronesplitter]

To do a wired connection, I used a cat6 crossover ethernet cable to directly hook the PS3 to my PC.
I was getting at least 20% utilization of the 1Gbit potential, or roughly 20-25 MB/sec consistently with most transfers. Most wouldn't get anywhere near the full 128 MB/sec unless they have a fast hard disk drive on their PC.
Oh, and I was using the PS3 FTP package and FileZilla on my PC.

do u have to set static ip address for ps3 and pc?

Yes, as far as I know. My PS3 settings use 192.168.0.3 for IP and 255.255.255.0 subnet mask. On the PC, LAN uses 192.168.0.1 for IP.

Is it just me or does anyone else get annoyed that the folder is spelled "GAMEZ"?

its because this is going to be used mainly for piracy... and from piracy we have the word "warez", so putting those together, we get "gamez"

if only i had a ps3...

so its the crossover cable connect from pc/laptop to ps3 and have ps3ftp running on ps3 and a client on pc and should see the directory?

Make sure your FTP program on the PS3 states that it is active, then open FileZilla on PC/laptop and enter the correct info into the quick connect bar at the top (put in IP address of your PS3, FTPD12345 as user name, port 21, password can be anything). I'm still using the first FTP program that was released since the blackb0x FTP release gave me some problems. As soon as you click quick connect, you should see a directory listing pop up in the right window that leads to all of your PS3 data. I don't know if others had an issue, but I first tried dragging and dropping a folder from one window to another when I wanted to transfer. This didn't work so well with one game so I ended up using right-click and selecting add to queue and then processing the queue (with the destination directory in the other window!) and that works great with everything.

thanks, will this do the job? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/10M-Gigabit-CAT6e-RJ...=item3a5efdab42
can this also be used to connect online for gaming on 360/ps3 or is it purely for networking?

Hi guys,
I have a game on an external HDD in the Gamez folder, in backup manager how do I go about launching this as it does not seem to see it on the external drive?
