Thread: How to start?

Just bought a ps3 running 3.41 ofw and Im looking to jailbreak it to play some downloaded games to start off with.
Ive poked around the forums and im still not too sure what the best way to go about jailbreaking is.
Also what do i need to do/install when using an external HDD to run games off?
Anything else i need to know or anything that would be useful to do?
Thanks for getting me started!

If you already have a dongle, and have jailbreaken your PS3, then all thats left is to install a Backup Manager on the PS3 (I recommend Open Manager, just search on the Applications section and you will find it ).
About the external HDD, you will need to format it to FAT32, an put the Games on the root (i think, not sure there), but i recommend you to FTP your games to the internal PS3 HDD (there is a tut here on how to do that, but its really easy, and your games run faster too).

If you have any other question just post it :D

+1 On that, alot of games have compatibly issues when running on the external drives. You can always look at the PSJailbreak Comp. list to check if they work internally/externally or even at all. Its always good to know if it works before you waste time downloading or backing it up :/
