I found my Year One gamer pic and Day One background, but as I understand there is supposed to also be a Year One background for use with the system and also a Year One background image to use with one's desktop, Twitter and all that jazz. Anyone know how I can get these?

I'm not sure if this is a good place to post this question, but I figured it couldn't hurt since most of us running it are doing so to play the older games we know and love.

I'm having a strange problem when I try to install one of my games. I have an original copy of The Terminator on 3.5" floppy (the original Terminator game, based on the first movie). I've read about other people having problems, but I can't get mine to install at all. At least not past the first couple of disks. It's a 4 disk game, but you usually only use 3 of them for the installation. I understand that the program only recognizes 200 MB by default, and the problem it gives is that the "hard drive is likely full". I don't see how this is possible since I created a new directory (C:\DOSBOX3) just for that game, and with nothing else in it, it says this 4 disk game, which would take up no more than 5.76 MB, is too big to install. Any help anyone can provide would be greatly appreciated.

I've got a 60 GB PS3 and the HDD is now at capacity. Even when I deleted the little music I had on there (I had no videos or anything), it wasn't enough - I ended up having to delete some game data (not game save data, more like installation data) to make room for some of the games I've bought in recent months. I'm now considering investing in an external HDD so I can back up my data. As it turns out, I work at Wal-Mart, and they sell some decent sized HDDs that plug into a USB port, so I thought about buying one of those. Does anyone know if that will work, or does it have to be a specific model, or must I connect the PS3 to my PC?

I'm well aware that when arcade games are transferred from one hard drive to another, only the trial version become playable offline. Well, there is one game I am concerned about over this, and that is Double Dragon. Double Dragon is one of my all-time favorite arcade games, and as we know, it was taken off Xbox Live earlier this year. Well, I downloaded it back when it was available, and then last year I got an Elite. I transferred all of my arcade games to the new hard drive and then gave my old system and hard drive to a friend. I have since been unable to get online with the Elite due to not having a wireless Internet adaptor (I have been too cheap to plunk down $100 for it) and not having an ethernet cable that is long enough to reach my router from where the system sits. Since Double Dragon is now gone from Xbox Live, does this mean that I will no longer be able to play the full game when I get online?

and i 22 ps3 games and i still have plenty of space on mine do you have alot of psstore hd videos or somethingrolltide101x
Actually, no. I've only downloaded one PS3 game, and other than that have maybe 2 CDs worth of music on it. That couldn't take up a gig, though, and I've only got about 25 gigs left. Now, someone said I could upgrade the HD. How would I go about doing that without violating the warranty? Until I can do that, I'll just delete the system data since it won't interfere with the saves. Thanks for clearing that up for me, everyone!

I have less than 10 PS3 games so far, but was a bit horrified to find that less than 50% of my 60 GB hard drive remains! I thought about deleting some game data, the data that takes up so much space from the hard drive (perhaps it's referred to as system data), but I don't want to mess up my save data for those games. Is this a safe way to free up some HD space, or would I risk messing up my save data if I do that? For instance, the game data for Metal Gear Solid 4 is over 4 gigs. If I delete that, will my save files become useless, or could I safely delete it and just reinstall the data the next time I stick the game in with my saves intact?

I like Goonies 1 and 2 myself, even though Goonies 2 had no movie to go with the game.

True, but prior to 1982, Popeye games weren't in existence.

If it makes you feel any better, I think the Mr. Do! clock might not be legit. I've never seen it on ebay, and the image looks just like the sideart on the sides of arcade machines, so it may be nothing more than that sideart put to a clock, although that sideart itself goes for a pretty good amount on ebay.
