Folding@home™
(Folding@home™) has been added as a feature under (Network).
Folding@home™ 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. By starting the Folding@home™ program that is installed on a PS3™ system, you can participate in this project over the Internet. For more information about Folding@home™, select here.
Starting Folding@home™
To use Folding@home™, you must first download and install the program. Select (Folding@home™) under (Network), and then download the program from the Internet. Follow the on-screen instructions to perform this operation.
When installation is complete, you can start Folding@home™. For details on how to operate this program, see the Folding@home™ help screen. You can view the help screen by pressing the 
button.
Remote play via an access point
You can now use the remote play feature from a PSP® system via an access point. This allows you to establish a remote play connection with a PS3™ system that is not equipped with the wireless LAN feature (20 GB model).
Example of a common configuration using a wireless router
- A wireless router is an access point equipped with router functionality. An access point is a device that allows you to connect to a network wirelessly. A router is a device used when sharing one Internet connection among multiple devices.
- A modem may be equipped with router functionality. Connect the PS3™ system to a device that is equipped with router functionality.
- If the access point and modem both are equipped with router functionality, turn the router functionality off on one of these devices. The PS3™ system and PSP® system must be connected within the same network. If two or more routers are used at the same time, the PS3™ system and PSP® system may be connected to separate networks and you may not be able to use remote play.
Using remote play (via an access point)
- Register (pair) the PSP® system with the PS3™ system.
- Create a network connection for connecting the PSP® system to an access point.
For details on creating a network connection, refer to the user's guide for the PSP® system. If the PSP® system is already connected to a network via an access point, you do not have to create a new network connection. - Select
(Remote Play) under (Network) in the PS3™ system's home menu.
The system will enter remote play connection standby mode. - Select
(Remote Play) under (Network) in the PSP® system's home menu. - From the list of connections, select the connection for the access point to be used for remote play.
If the connection is successful, the PS3™ system screen will be displayed on the PSP® system.
