YDL & PS3 help

Postby kenneth.perkins » 22 Jan 2009, 02:18

I need serious help i downloaded ydl 6.1 earlier today from terrasoft website. I saved the file to my computer and burnt it to a dvd. When i insert it into my ps3 my ps3 won't read the disc or even load it up. i reformatted the hard drive setting 10gb for other system. I watched videos on yutube and the guy said just download ydl from the webite put it on a dvd and thats it but it isn't working like that for me i even went to my system seting install other os the try to scan for ydl and it just says no applicable installer found.

Two questions.

1. Did you verify your download with SHA1SUM? There should be instructions on how to do that on the server where you downloaded the ISO.

2. Did you just burn the ISO to a disc? That is incorrect. You have to create the disc from the ISO image. If you're running windows, there's a program called IMGBURN that works remarkably well for this.

Cheers,
Paul

Look for a file called SHA1SUM-HOWTO.
