Geridian Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 (edited) 14 minutes ago, Solid-Fisch said: Wouldn't exFat work too? Simple answer: No. +++++ @poker_1987 Make sure the stick is formatted as FAT32. Maybe use this video as a reference: https://youtu.be/RdoEY1YsJ0A?si=CnNgfZablgAaZ8_z The problem is, that Windows doesn't allow volumes larger than 32GB to be formatted as FAT32. So you must use third party programs to format the whole stick with FAT32. Also you need the download package found under “How to reinstall PS3 system software - Reinstall using a computer” and not the other one: https://www.playstation.com/en-us/support/hardware/ps3/system-software/ Edited March 26 by Geridian Changed a word Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
