Before you can use a Bluetooth device with the PS3, you must first register the device with the system. You can do this by going to Settings > [Accessory Settings] > [Register Bluetooth Device] and select the device you want to add. Simply follow the on-screen instructions to add the device to the system. Currently, the PS3 can only handle the following Bluetooth devices:
Bricking occurs when some code is executed on the PSP that alters the Firmware to an unusable state (i.e. it formats the flash on the PSP). This means that the PSP will not function properly and therefore make the device unusable.
Bricking in the PSP may occur when using homebrew that alters the flash, such as using downgraders, custom firmware and other flash altering programs. Current downgrader/daters are 2.0 to 1.5, 1.5 to 1.0, 2.5 and 2.6 to 1.5, 2.71 to 1.5, 2.80 to 1.5, 3.03 to 1.5. It is wise that if one comes across one of these so called downgraders to look for some form of proof.
To remove your custom wallpaper and return to the default XMB background, simply go to [Settings] > [Theme Settings] > [Wallpaper] and select [Original]. This option will remove your custom wallpaper. If you would like to replace your wallpaper, rather than remove, simply find a photo you want as your wallpaper and press 
to bring the on-screen menu. From the menu, select [Set as Wallpaper].
If you like to restore your original wallpaper, you can simply select [Wallpaper] from the [Theme Settings] menu and your previously stored wallpaper will be used. There is no way to delete the wallpaper from the system, you can only replace it or choose not to use it.
Homebrew is a term frequently applied only to video games that are produced or “home-developed” by consumers on proprietary game platforms (like the PSP); in other words, game platforms that are not typically user-programmable.
Folding@home is a feature under Network on the PS3 Home Menu. It is a distributed computing project that is run by Stanford University. The goal of the project is to research protein folding mechanisms in the hope that this will lead to medical treatments for related diseases. You can help out by allowing Stanford University to use your PS3 when is it idle. The power of the PS3 means you contribute a significant amount of CPU time to the project. More information can be found at http://folding.stanford.edu/.

The Emotion Engine (EE) is the PlayStation 2 CPU, and the Graphics Synthesizer (GS) is the PS2 graphics chip. Both were included in early PS3 models to achieve backwards compatibility. In later models (CECHC/CECHD/CECHE/CECHF), the EE chip was removed and the PS3 now uses software to achieve backwards compatibility. Naturally, the physical hardware has better backwards compatibility, however, Sony regularly updates the PS2 emulator software via firmware updates.
In the current models (CECHG/CECHH), the GS chip has been removed and so there is no backwards compatibility, since the job of the GS cannot be simulated using software. Eventually, Sony may figure a way out to simulate the GS to bring PS2 compatibility to the current models.
XMB stands for Cross Media Bar, and is a graphical interface that’s shaped like a cross. Users of the interface move left and right to select between main category entries, then move up and down to select between sub categories.
On the PSP, the main categories include “Settings”, “Photos”, “Music”, “Videos”, “Games” and “WWW”. Subcategories for “Games” include the Game Sharing Feature, UMD, Memory Stick Contents and Games on the Memory Stick.
You can only put wallpaper on the XMB if you are using Firmware 1.90 or greater. You can put a photo as a wallpaper by finding the photo you want and pressing TRIANGLE to bring up the onscreen menu. From the menu, select the “Use as Wallpaper” option. Before the photo is added as a wallpaper, you have the ability to zoom in or out of the photo.
To create your own PSP magazine, all you need is a photo editer like Adobe Photoshop, Paint Shop Pro or Macromedia Fireworks. Just create a image sized 480p(W) by 272p(H). Do this several times to make multiple pages. It is a little time consuming but once you get used to the program, you will find that it becomes a lot easier.
We use Macromedia Fireworks to create our magazines. The frames feature allows us to create multiple pages using just one file. The export feature allows each frame to be exported into seperate images to create a multi-page magazine.
