Tidied up a bit today and my old PS3 caught my eye, which is unfortunately broken. Then the question came to me whether I can connect this hard drive to the PC and virtually boot the PS3 software on the PC. So whether the normal PS3 screen comes and I theoretically have access to it (as with Windows too). I'm really not sure whether something like this can work, because I don't know whether the PS3 software is only adapted to the built-in components or not. Or it could work if I built this hard drive into the PS4. But don't want to break anything either😅
Unfortunately not, because the hard drive was formatted differently by the Playstation software and can only be used once. If you connect it to the PC, you can only make it functional for the PC by formatting it, but then all files would be gone
Doesn't work because you don't have a bios from the PS3 etc.
You can format the Ps3 hard drive normally and use it as a data grave, but nothing more.
