Sexton Hardcastle Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 Sony are sending me a new machine to replace the broken disc drive on my PS3. I want to get the saved files off the machine so i dont need to start Fifa/GTA/COD etc again. Whats the best way to go about this? never really done this. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
belly Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 You need to copy the files on to a flash drive, stick it in the usb port on the front of the ps3, then install them on the new on once it arrives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just like a USB stick yea? or does it have to be a portable drive Nope usb stick will do the trick for you, providing it has a large enough memory.

Rab87 Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 For the Playstation to recognise the save files make a folder on the usb stick called PS3 in caps, then in that folder make another folder called SAVEDATA in caps. Put your game saves in there. Done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
