The new version 2.1 PlayStation 3 firmware has laid the groundwork for you to download a folding@home update. The update will be automatically downloaded by opening FAH. The new features include a much-appreciated automatic shutdown which has a range of different options, such as shutting down after a certain amount of time or after you’ve finished your current folding project.
Another new addition is the ability to play music off your hard drive. It’s a nice incentive to be able to fold while listening to music, so hopefully this will get even more people involved in what is truly an altruistic program.
