On one PS3 1st Generation with 60GB HD, BOP crashes and the PS3 goes back to home screen when trying to select and confirm either 'Custom' or 'Custom-PC' from Layouts (Path: Main Menu/Profile/Options/Controls/Layouts).

It's the first time we've come across this problem, which prevents customizing the PS3 controller.

What could be the problem? Does anyone have a fix?

Many thanks,

MAC

i dont want to alarm you mac but that sounds like the stuff my 1st gen 60gb was doing before i got the YLOD. i would be playing in a game then all of a sudden it would totally reset and go back to the home screne and play for about 30-40 mins then do it again

Hi Brigg, it's not my PS3, it's Olife's. What is the YLOD, and how did you fix this problem?

the YLOD is the yellow light of death it is sonys version of the red ring of death and you can fix it yourself but it can keep coming back and with the phantom day bs happening a few weeks earlier i decided to ebay the phat and get a slim

I suggest getting him to buy another one, transfer the data accross and flog the old one. It's only going to get worse from here on in. I had the YLOD too..

Couldn't it also have something to do with a corrupted game data file?

Could be, tell him to make a new user and star the game. Go into the custom bit and try to change settings. If it works then it's the data. If not it the system.

After I left last night one simple thing came into my mind. Did Olife check condition of the disc? Is there any dirt or scratches in it.

Get a new one quick (or start saving the cash).. and if you've a big enough USB memory stick then do a backup. Sounds like your PS3 is about to become an ex-ps3, bereft of life it will shuffle off this mortal coil.. etc etc
Seriouusly tho..
Do a backup
YLOD without a backup is quite traumatic!

Précisément, Watson!

;)

That was the clue I needed to solve this riddle. Why would it not work for the only two French pilots who use the pad in our Club?

I changed the System Language on my PS3 to Français, started up BOP, tried to customize the controls, BOP crashed and PS3 returned to Home Screen - BINGO!

The problem is NOT your game file or your PS3, but the localization of your game en Français! You can customize your Pad now by first changing the system language to English, starting up BOP and customizing your controls (as per instructions in this thread). Once you are finished, quit BOP, change your system language back to French, start up BOP and Voilà!

BOP WILL WORK with your customized controls in French, as long as you don't change anything. For changing, you must change your system language again.

Please also let firepilote know and help him to customize his pad!

See you soon,

MAC

PS: Very sorry the Equipe has to go home!
