PS3 Help

tom523 · 05-15-12, 10:01 PM

I had my PS3 system fixed because it got the YLOD. When i got it back, i tried playing a newer game, and the system needed to update, and it tried, but it said it needed to install the other os. But I checked on my system and it says I already have it. Should I install it again? I hope someone can help me.
Thanks

Was the system trying to update via disc or internet?

The "other OS" is what they called the feature that allowed you to install Linux (or something else I guess) on the system, alongside the usual OS. But, it was removed a while ago.

Did you have Linux installed on yours?

It was trying to update when i was trying to play ps3 game.

I don't know if Linux was installed on mine. I have the original ps3 system that played all 3 playstation system games.
