How to Save Genesis Plus GX to PlayStation 3

Genesis Plus GX is a game emulator for multiple gaming systems, such as the Playstation 3. With Genesis, you can play older Sega Genesis games on your Playstation 3. In order to use the emulator, however, you first have to install the files, which is tricky if you do not have a USB drive or know where to find the Genesis Plus GX game emulator files. Fortunately, the files are consistently updated and can be installed once you create the necessary files on a USB drive.

Instructions

Creating the USB Folder
- 1
  Plug a USB drive into your computer.

  Open a new window and navigate to the USB drive under "My Computer." Create a folder called "PS3." Open the folder and create a folder inside called "UPDATE." Capitalize both titles of the folders.

  Download the update file from Playstation's website under "System Software Updates." Once downloaded, double-click to open the folder and find the "PS3UPDAT.PUP" file. Drag into the "UPDATE" folder on your USB drive.

  Unplug the USB drive from your computer and plug into a free slot on your PS3. Go to "Settings" on the XMB menu. Click "System Settings" and select "System Update."
