How to connect a PS3 to a computer at home

Today, game consoles are a popular leisure tool for many people. After all, they allow you to get more fun from games, as well as viewing high-definition video than on any personal computer. The consoles issued by the company "Sony" have a great demand for today.

Games on the console more exciting

Agree, managing the character with a joystick is much more convenient and exciting than doing it using the mouse with the keyboard. Some, of course, can object, referring to the fact that it is possible to connect the PS3 joystick to the computer, but in this case all the console's capabilities will not be realized.

As for users who like to watch high-quality films of the newest formats, they prefer to use the Sony Playstation-3 game console. After all, it allows you to view video files not only from familiar media, such as "CD" and "DiviDi", but also with such as "Blue Ray". In this regard, the lucky owners of this device often raises the question of how to connect the PS3 to a computer.

Wireless network

Therefore now our conversation with you will go about this. We will implement the idea using a wireless network, which, as you have guessed, we will organize using a router. So, first make sure that this network is working, after which you need to attach a game console and your personal computer to it. It should be noted that "Sonya" supports both wired and wireless connections. And since the latter option is more convenient, we will give it our preference.

Before you connect the PS3 to the computer, you will need to install Java (in case it was not done before). You will also need the JRE plugin released by Sun. When this is all done, download the application from the official website of the company "Sony", which is called PS3 Media Server. Now install it, preferably without changing the installation folder by default, then create a new directory anywhere on your hard drive and name it PS3.

System Setup

We continue to understand how to connect the PS3 to the computer. Open the most common text editor ("Notepad" is quite suitable) and copy the code there, which is in the document located in: ifolder.ru/26034820. Next, save this file in the C: /Users/Your_Login/AppData/Roaming/PMS/PMS.conf folder. When you do all these manipulations, allow your firewall, as well as the antivirus, to provide full network access to the downloaded application.

Now you need to manually configure certain configuration parameters of your computer, and also set the language of use. To do this, remove the checkmark in the category, which is called DTS Audio (if there is no receiver in the sound system). If your machine is equipped with a single-core processor, then the item called Enhanced multicore support also needs to be removed. When using several active network cards, activate the Force networking function, and in the Number of cores item, specify the number of processor cores.

When the first run is completed, update the configuration of the main application via the Internet. Open Share Folders and there select the directories assigned to the console view. Everything, the system is in full readiness and can be used. Now you know how to connect the PS3 to the computer.

Recommendations

Finally I would like to give some recommendations as to what parameters of the computer should be for the purpose described in this material. For comfortable viewing of high-quality movies or video clips it is desirable to use a machine with 2 GB of RAM and with a processor no less than Core2Duo. If the indicators are smaller, it is possible to "slow down" and other interruptions in work. The next time we'll talk about whether you can connect the gamepad to the PS3 computer.
