I just recently installed Rebug on my PS3 after hearing that 4.82 was hackable in hopes of playing my PS2 library. My issue is I am having issues playing ISOs that are 4GB or more due to the limitations of FAT32. Here is everything I have tried thus far and the result.
Reformatting the drive as NTFS/ExFAT and testing the PFS option -> External memory not recognized by PS3
Compressing the .iso in a zip folder. TEsted on both USB flash and internal harddrive -> iso magically disappears after extraction?
Decompressing the iso into a folder and recompressing the iso using MultiMAN -> iso allows me to convert to PSClassic but doesn't load when I attempt to load it. Instead I get greeted by a Black screen and booted back to the XMB. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Also, please note, yes I know FTP clients exist and yes I know MultiMAN has a built in FTP server. I am not using FTP clients because it would take a day and a half if I tried to transfer via wifi.
EDIT: Thank you for all of the help you gave me! In case anyone else runs in to this issue, here are the solutions I found/was given:
1) Reformat your flash memory as NTSC and then place the ISOs at the root of the flash memory. Then launch MultiMAN and scroll to the tab on the farthest to your left. Find the option PFS options and press X. Then enter go to the desktop view and open the PS3 root (first icon on the gird). You should see a USB device in the list of options there. Open the USB device, then copy the ISO files to the PS2ISO folder in the PS3 library and poof. Your done!
2) Connect your PS3 and PC to the same modem via wired connection. Then use the built-in FTP server on MultiMAN in combination with a FTP Client (I use WinSCP but I have heard good things from Filezilla) to transfer your ISOs. This is a way faster method as it requires less pointlessly moving a 4GB+ file around. (Credit for this solution goes to Dr.Dew)
