How to backup PS3 Blu-Ray disc content to Hard Drives
February 21, 2008
If you are a proud owner of PS3 and always wanted to back up your favorite games,…
..then the solution has come out.
CJPC has released an incredibly useful application for the PS3 using the OtherOS Open Platform concept. PS3 Swiss Army Knife (SAK), appropriately titled, provides a web interface that enables the following:
* Check Blu-Ray Disk size
* Format internal PS3 HDD
* Back-up iSO to internal PS3 HDD
* Back-up iSO to external EXT3 HDD
* Back-up iSO via wired network, to Windows Network Share
* Explore HDD (Linux side), and download files to a PC.
* Explore Blu-Ray Disks, and download files to a PC (with UDF 2.5 Support!)
* Reboot console
* Reboot console to PS3 GameOS
* Poweroff console
Note: With SAK v1.00 you can now dump your PS3/Blu-Ray disc images without installing PS3 Linux, however, you must still format the PS3 HDD prior (as if you were going to install PS3 Linux) in order to install/use the OtherOS– this is a $ony requirement unfortunately.
How to install: using a memory or USB stick, or CD-R, etc… Copy “otheros.bld” (included in the RAR archive) & “otheros.self” (see below) to “/PS3/OTHEROS/”. Insert your removable media and from the XMB (Settings -> System Settings) run “Install Other OS.” Set the default boot to OtherOS, reboot, and you should be good to go.
If you require further assistance, have a look at Sony’s official Open Platform web site.
You can fetch the PS3 OtherOS Installer (otheros.self) here.
