USB on PS3

Hi,
I have an 8GB USB stick formatted in FAT32 and I've created the folders as instructed, but unfortunately, I can read all the videos but not the photos or my MP3s, nor can I copy them to the console.
Can someone help me???
Thanks in advance.

Hey! When I press the triangle on my key, there's just the info option, and I want to copy save games to my Play, but pressing triangle doesn't do much except make me... what am I doing wrong?

Give this a try. You'll find your happiness.
----workstation
----right-click on the key icon
----choose format
----file system: select FAT32
----and there you go.... Good luck.

P.S.: don't forget to back up your files before formatting.

Hello

while searching through various topics available online:

-You need to create, at the root of the USB key, the folders (in all capitals) PICTURE, MUSIC, VIDEO, PS3
and in the PS3 folder,
UPDATE (for OFFLINE system updates)
SAVEDATA (where to put the saves)
EXPORT
in the EXPORT folder,
BACKUP (PS3 restore point)
PSV (PS2 saves)

in my own way:

-If your USB drive is recognized, in Video, or Photo etc... you press Triangle on the icon of your USB, Show All.
You just have to copy the data to your console to enjoy it (well the saves, the only ones you can't read on the drive)

Thank you for these explanations, it works...

Hi anonymous,

for an external HDD, no problem. You plug it in, it works.
see you later

yes and the ps3 considers it as a flash drive
thank youuuuuu

Hello,
I tried creating the ps3 directories and then subfolders for photo and video, but it doesn't work
however, creating the MUSIC, PICTURE, VIDEO directories directly without the ps3 directory does work

hi

For trophies like those online, there's no need to save; by logging in with your account, you retrieve them every time. For game data, it's not on a USB stick but on an external hard drive by doing a system backup. For your saves, no problem; just hit triangle and copy.

Pour the trophies it's online so there's no need to save game data, you need an external hard drive and PS3 system backup for the saves, no problem, you press triangle on the save and you copy it, it should go directly to the USB stick normally.

I have the same problem; if you have the solution, please pass the info, that would be nice.
Thanks in advance.

Yes, you can plug it into your PC or laptop without any trouble, because I changed my 40GB to a 320GB. If you want to do everything yourself, it's simple; you just need to buy a compatible cable for your PS3 hard drive, as they are the same hard drives used in portable devices. Then, you plug it in, transfer your system to the new hard drive, and all your saves and games. So, if you want to change, yes, you can plug it into your PC, but yes, you can plug it in anyway. Bye!

I found out how to read videos on USB sticks on the PS3. Go to the USB stick, press triangle, select "display all," and you will see everything appear, then click on the video.

ps3 video; to play videos from flash drives
ps3 music; to play music from flash drives
ps2 photo; to view photos from flash drives
