Ok so what's the dongle price in the market? I'm asking bcoz I don't want to get ripped off from shopkeepers. I have 40 gb hard disk (internal). I want to upgrade my hard disk but don't know the price of upgrading hard disk. Hard disk kitni gb ki honi chahiye so that atleast 2 big games copy ho saken (consider game data & game saves as well)?

30$ for a cable.. i'd better keep using my ethernet :p
and
lol@30$

go to any local internet cable provider and ask them to make you a small cable cross connectors simple talk with simple solutions. or if any one can spend 500 to 650 rupees can have a router with 2 output ethernet connections.
It was not an advise to buy the cable.
Besides LAN10/100= 12MB/Sec (max though put) That too depends on type of LAN cards, routers and cables used.
Cable I have or used to have is USB 2.0 compliant
USB 2.0 = 480Mib/sec=60MB/Sec Approx
Simple Math

nah noman there is no warrenty for that, besides its simple to make one for your own there is no super skills required mate, but if you cant I would suggest buy it from a local market, about copying things I have yet to confiirm how are they doing it.

OK have downloaded and tried a couple of games by using the Blackbox FTP (to tranfer the game folders) from the PC to internal harddisk of PS3 (internal hard disk upgraded myself from 40GB To 250GB).

However to my disappointment the following games are not working and I am reading stuff all over the internet which is confusing. Sounds like they are working but I don't know what is the exact way to make them work.

1. Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 .
2. Prince of Persia : The forgotten sands.

Have copied the game extract folder to the internal HDD0/...../GAMEZ/GAMENAME folder. Tried running them via Backup Manager to load them game directory as a emulated Bluray disc, but the screen goes blank when they are launched. Any idea how to make these games work. PS3 is connected to the internet via Wireless.

I have noticed that almost with all the downloaded games there is also a PS3UPDATE folder, and the games which work, display messages that game update data is found. Till now I am not applying any updates since I dont know what effect they might have with the Jailbreak. Any information about this as well would be appreciated.

Thanks everyone.

it is possible to connect PC and PS3 through a simple network cable.. i do it everyday to transfer games from and to ps3 and pc...
not simple network cable but a cross over network cable should serve the purpose better to go with cat 6 !! u ll get around 30 mb/sec speed !!!

If only I hadn't lend it
http://www.usbgear.com/link/usb_link_cable.html

to someone, who as usual "lost" it. It would've been a good way to experiment file transfer between PS3 and PC.
Here I have quoted what i wrote in bold, and please this time use glasses or microscope whatever help you read better.
I have my doubt its only a matter of reading..............

If original bluray disk is a must to play back up games then what's the use of simple dvds (containing downloaded ps3 games)?

Just saw this news on scene so I thought I must share it with all of you guyz.

Last month, we posted here about the 1.92 PS3 SDK leak, well now we have 3.41 Toolchain leaked, the Toolchain also the RAF tool, RAF toolls are used to create Dynamic Themes, DemonHades has posted it on his site, here is a badly translated quote from his blog:

Just a while my friend and colleague told us that Bhaal has released the SDK toolchain 3.41, this toolchain also brings a pleasant surprise Tool RAF, the RAF are video files or streams used as background for the dynamic themes
so now we are expecting some awesome Dynamic themes for our Ps3 :D
