See the instruction manual of your memory card reader/writer for details.
When using a memory card slot of PC
Insert the recording medium into the memory card slot of the PC.
See the instruction manual of your PC for details.
When using a disc drive of PC
Insert the recording medium (disc) into the disc drive of the PC.
See the instruction manual of your PC for details.
Step２
Create folders to store the installer and the boot loader on the recording medium.
- Using the PC, create a folder named "PS3" (single-byte characters must be used) under the root directory of the recording medium you have prepared.
- In the "PS3" folder you have just created, create a folder named "otheros" (single-byte characters must be used).
- The "otheros" folder you created in B of step 2 is used to store the installer to be downloaded in step 3 with the name, "otheros.self".
Step３
Download the installer from this site using the PC, and save it in the folder you have created in step 2.
this is a ".self" file
Note!!!!!!!!!
If any of the conditions below is not met, PLAYSTATION®3 cannot recognize the installer in the steps below.
- The file has been saved in the "otheros" folder.
- The file has been saved with the name "otheros.self".
- The folder and/or file name contains no double-byte character.
Step 4
Save the boot loader file on the recording medium.
Obtain the boot loader file for the "Other OS" you want to install from the provider. Then save the boot loader file in the "otheros" folder created in step 2 with the name, "otheros.bld".
Step 5
After saving the boot loader, remove the recording media from the memory card reader/writer, memory card slot, or disc drive, depending on the type of the medium used.
Performing Installation
Notes
The on-screen displays may look slightly different depending on the version of the PLAYSTATION®3's system software and/or the version of the installer. Do not turn off the power or remove the recording medium during the installation. Interrupting the installation process may cause damage.
Step６
Insert the recording medium on which the installer is saved into the card slot or the USB port of PLAYSTATION®3. If the installer has been installed in a recording disc, insert the disk into the disc drive of PLAYSTATION®3.
Step７
Select [Install Other OS] from [System Settings] of [Settings] on the home menu. This initiates a search for the installer and displays its location. Click [OK] to start the installer.
Step８
Perform the installation according to the instructions displayed by the installer. Once the installation completes, The [Default System] menu item appears in [System Settings] of [Settings] on the home menu .
Starting Boot Loader
After you have completed the installation in step 8, specify "Other OS" by selecting menu items in the following order: home menu > [Settings] > [System Settings] > [Default System] > "Other OS". This causes its boot loader to be started every time PLAYSTATION®3 boots up.
For information about the way to switching from the "Other OS" to the PLAYSTATION®3's system software, contact the provider of the "Other OS".
For your information, the PLAYSTATION®3 system software can be forcibly booted up even when an "Other OS" has been selected as ｢Default System」by holding down the Power button for about 5 seconds or more at power on, although this forcible boot resets the screen resolution to the factory default.
