MLB '10 The Show Rosters: OS Full Minors v4 (Opening Day Only)

Re: MLB '10 The Show Rosters: OS Full Minors v4 (Opening Day Only)

I think this is a reasonable explanation. I'm using kind of a non-standard USB device. It's a blank flash drive that has a SD Card slot. I received this from a bundled camera deal back last year. It came with a 16mb SD card.

I had never had any use for it until trying to use these offline files for transferring files to the PS3. It won't work with any files I try. Why are the files from the USB even showing up though from XBM?

I do have a spare USB HDD but I'm really using it for my 360. I may have to go out and get me a small(4GB or so) flash drive to see how it works. I just don't see the need because I have this USB drive right now with a 16mb SD card that's plenty big enough for copying offline files.

Yeah, that sounds like the issue to me. You would be able to view, but the copy feature has been disabled.

Just get a cheap SanDisk or Kingston one. They are very cheap at Wal-Mart in the 4GB range. It should do the trick no problem. If not, you can always return it.

But I am willing to bet that is the issue you are running into. Good Luck, and let me know how it works out for you.

Yeah! I'm gonna go out and get me a flash drive this weekend. I probably don't need anything bigger than 2GB really. I'm only gonna need it for offline files like we can get here at OS. Thanks!

Well, it doesn't appear to be related to USB device. I had a spare 160GB external HDD laying around that was used from a prior PC. I formatted it to FAT32 and placed a "PS3" save folder onto the root of the drive. Same thing happened. I can view the save but hitting triangle does nothing but kick me back out.

I see no need in even fooling with buying a smaller flash drive now. I don't understand what's going on though. Does it have anything to do with the PS3 model? I'm using a 40GB model but I don't see that should matter just for copying save content. This really puzzles me!

I also have noticed something else. From the "Game Data Utility" the same stuff happens. These are game patches/updates and I can't delete them or do anything with them. Hitting triangle takes me back out of the patch/update as well. Hitting triangle is supposed to bring up "options" for the viewable content but it doesn't happen for me.

No...it shouldn't.
I still think it's the flash drive.
I had one that wouldn't read a while ago.
My $5 one that I bought from newegg 2 or three years ago works flawlessly...so try finding a cheapo just to check.

Re: MLB '10 The Show Rosters: OS Full Minors v4 (Opening Day Only)

This is definitely very puzzling. You can view the file, and see the save, but hitting triangle on the controller does not bring up options, it boots you?

You can try posting on the official PlayStation boards here:

http://boardsus.playstation.com/

I tried googling but came up with nothing similar to what you are experiencing.

Only other thing I can think of, and this is a long shot... you have multiple profiles on the PS3 and are trying to copy under one with restrictions?

Well, the 160GB HDD is a really good one. It's the WD Passport and they're pretty good drives. I was trying a cheap one in the first place. :wink:

Well, the final part might be a possibility. I did create a new user before all this. I'll go back into the older user account and see what happens. I doubt that will help but willing to try a lot of things to get this resolved. I'll also try the PS.com boards. How do you even go about removing restrictions for users anyhow?

I had googled my problem as well but couldn't come up with much either to match my issues.

I have no clue, I am not even sure you can, I was just brainstorming. I never really messed with that feature personally.

If you can find anything out on the official forums, please let us know.

Well, I went out and bought me a 2GB SanDisk USB Cruser. Guess what? Same thing going on. It's not related to the USB drives. There's something going on from the PS3 that's not allowing me to copy the contents. I have now tried from different profiles on the PS3 with no luck.

I honestly can't believe this bull! I thought getting offline saves was bad on the 360 but this is ridiculous on the PS3. The 360 stuff just had to be resigned and they worked. I can't even get an option to do anything on the PS3. I'm just in an absolute disbelief right now over this issue. I don't know what to try next!

Is your PS3 fully updated? I am stumped, did you also try posting on the official Sony forums in tech support?

Yeah! Updated as in the latest firmware? What would that have to do with this feature working anyhow?

I posted my problem over at PS.com bards but haven't had any replies back to me yet. I'm totally puzzled here!

There has to be some corruption on the HDD or somewhere. I mean everything else I try seems to work okay. I think I'm gonna try to copy a save from PS3 to USB and see if I can do that. If it's not corrupted in some way then it has to be a setting on the PS3 causing problems.

Still working on it Knight. Members over at PS.com boards are trying to help me out. I'll keep you updated.

Re: MLB '10 The Show Rosters: OS Full Minors v4 (Opening Day Only)

Still haven't gotten this issue resolved. I can't get any help over at the PS.com boards. I have found some information in regards to booting into "safe mode" on the PS3. I really didn't wanna do this but it looks like my only option. I just have to be careful while in safe mode.

You're only supposed to boot in safe mode if you have problems like mine anyhow. I believe there are 4-5 options in safe mode. If this method doesn't fix my issue then I don't know what to try next. I'll update back once I get something done. This is really aggravating! Thanks!

I hope it works out for you. You definitely have a rare issue.

Also, how old is this PS3? Can you call Sony and possibly get help from them? (is it in warranty?)

The PS3 is a 40GB model purchased in 2008 so warranty is now gone. I do have a 250GB HDD replacement HDD in the console now. I'm gonna probably try out "safe mode" later today when I get time. This is puzzling!
