ive been playing with magnuts tying to change the wold as we know it

I recently put Evilnat CFW on my Slim PS3 but am quickly realizing that the 150GB Hard Drive in there fills up incredibly fast when you're storing bluray discs on there. What's the process for moving to a new Hard Drive?

I know the PS3 has a built in transfer tool, but I'm not sure if that still works correctly with the CFW going.

I just use HEN, but I haven't had any issues using a fast microSD card in a small USB adapter for my PS3 games. PS1 games need to be on-console, though.

On CFW at least PS3 and PS1 games can be on USB and only PS2 games have to be on the console.

it's the same as a regular ps3. literally just turn off the console pull the old drive and put a new one in. You should be able to use the transfer tool to save existing stuff but I've actually never done that.

*edit* you do have to re-install Webman and other CFW apps, but the CFW itself sticks around just fine.

Ok cool. I wasn't sure if the firmware was installed to the hard drive that was being replaced or to some memory on the console itself.

I hadn't really thought of that. That's good to know because the main downside to using the internal drive is that transferring a bunch of files over FTP is pretty slow.

I could have sworn I had issues with PSX games off of USB, but it's been a bit. I could be misremembering.
