In light of the PlayStation 3's Folding@Home program's macroscopic success, there's also an update that you can download, just in case you haven't yet. The biggest new feature of Folding@Home v1.1 is that you can now set your PS3 to automatically run Folding@Home every time it goes idle.

To run the application automatically in idle state, PS3 must be connected to the network with both the main power switch and power button turned on. Option setting must also be changed as this automatic feature is off at default.


So, now, that doesn't give you any reason to "forget" to contribute to this medical cause. On to other good news, QJ's Folding@Home Team has already garnered nearly 2 million points and completed 7,500 work units. Woot! Thanks for all the help, guys! Keep 'em proteins folding!

» Not true

It is not true that the update brings "automatically run Folding@Home every time it goes idle". This is also possible to do with version 1.0

Just go over the Folding@Home Icon and press Triangle and from the options select after how many minutes of idle time you want to automatically start the Folding@Home client...



Greetz, Shyru

» Idle

The Idle thing is possible on 1.0 as stated by Shyru. I had it set at 10 mins before. But disabled it after I was downloading trailers and demos because FOLDING kept starting up.

» faster folding

I just5 noticed that it fold much faster now...

» idle running error

Also not true in your statement (most likely copied form some other site though so you get a pass on the mistake).



ONLY the rear power switch needs to be in the on position. If the system is powered down and set to run folding on idle it will power itself on after the desired time has passed and begin folding.



Seriously guys.



Fact checking.
