Q.
I have multiple folders named 00000001,00000002....ect, which one do I use and how do i know which one is for the user i am logged in with?
A.
The first user active on your
ps3 will be the lowest folder number, the second active user will be the next number higher, so user number one's folder will be 00000001 and user number 2 will be 00000002.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q.
I dont have any folders named 00000001 or 00000002, what do i do?
A.
Only the first ever created user will be named 00000001, if you have only ever created 1 user and you delete the first user ever created and create a new user the folder will be named 00000002, so every time you create a new user the folder name will increase one number.
Example-
you have a total of 3 originaly created users and you delete the second user and create a new third user your folders will be named as such. user 1=00000001, user 2=00000003, and new user 3=00000004. if you ever delete a user the folder number that was associated with that user with user will not be reused.
If you created 99 usere and delete them all and create one more user it will be named 0000000100.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q.
I dont have an exdata folder, what should i do?
A.
This is because your
ps3 has never bought a game fron the psn store and all you need to do is simply create it with your
ps3's filemanager.
