Need Noob Advice on JB

[Djv3n0m]

Hey i have a 3.41FW. Im using the calculator hack to boot my system and a spoof for 3.55 to play games.
my systems a 20gb non wifi fat box.

i've been away from the forum for along time so i see all this new talk and im very lost..(Im sure ya'll can catch me up to date real quick) I use backup manager for the games i ripped to the internal drive directly. and have comgenie awesome file manager for the games i transfer from pc to ps3. but for some reason i can not transfer big files and im interested in the ftp transfer.

i just recently got grand turismo 5 and little big planet 2.

what firmware should i use of all the CFW with the 20gb fat model?

whats a good FTP program for transfering over a wired network from a PC?

will i lose all my current games on my internal hard drive that i've backed up with the back up managers when i update to the new CFW?

Thanks in advance

use hermes cfw.
no you wont lose games you already have.
use filezilla, thats what ive been using.
not sure why big files are failing for you, you hav e enough space on ur internal hdd right? im guessing youve upgraded cuz 20gig is extremely small for what ur trying to do. you will run outta space quick.

finally, read a little more before you post. the answers are really simple around here even for guys like me. ive had to ask hardly any questions in the last couple months, i simply searched.

edit: forgot to address LB2 and GT5, you will need modded eboot.bins for both of those on hermes 3.41(or for ofw 3.41 for that matter) they can be found in game backups section of the forum under eboot repository. hope ive helped

yeah i've upgraded. someone told me to use kmeaw CFW 3.55. When i started to use that people said thats not the way to go because it will brick my ps3 to use Wutangrza CFW 3.55, then i heard the same about wutangrza so im not sure what to use. i didnt know hermes had a CFW too. I thought it was just Kmeaw and wutangrza and geohotz. oh i figured out what happen. i wrote JB i meant CFW. i want to try the CFW. sorry bro for the misunderstanding its been along night.

no prob, still with an older 256mb nand unit like urs i would go with hermes 3.41. it is VERY stable, i have an older unit too so i can testify to its functionality. but i have heard that the new backup managers are working well with kmeaw 3.55, i used it for 2 hours and it froze up like 20 times in xmb and mid game. it was a mess lol. seems newer units work better with 3.55 cfws, older with hermes. i only have personal experience to base these claims on.

hey need your help one more time. i use backup manager 1.0. i've tried copying the file i downloaded using Filezilla. which contains a BES00569 folder with PS3_GAME and PS_UPDATE inside the folder to the folder where all my other games are on the ps3. but for some reason back up manager does not recognize it. any ideas? thanks in advance.

P.S. the game im copying would be Grand turismo 5 EU
