Greetings! I've been working on a Dreamcast emulator for this platform lately, and thanks to the help of a lot (and I mean) a lot of people, it managed to turn into reality! A lot of games run at full speed. Some will run at ~85-90% tops. Heavy games (DOA2, Quake 3) are out of the equation sadly. But others (Sonic Adventure, Soul Calibur, Space Channel 5, CvS2, ChuChu Rocket, Crazy Taxi) and such all run wonderfully! I hope you'll have lots of fun playing with this. Please follow the instructions for the install and submit the games you try. Have a nice day!

I wanted to use some of my other controllers since the ps3 ones are broken rn and we and a few buddies were gonna play lbp but i couldnt find any advice that doesnt say to use external hardware other than one with ps3xpad, its been billions of years since i modded my ps3 so i dont know how to do literally anything how could i connect my xbox series controllers to my ps3 without external hardware?

I don’t have the knowhow (or ram…) to do it if it is possible, but i think it would be really cool cause honestly the 256 mb of ram is what holds the ps3 back a lot in my opinion

Qualcuno di voi ha provato a giocare online su ps3?

Vi prego aiutatemi voglio solo giocare ancora a gta online

Hello everyone, I'm really new to this so I've been following lots of videos and, after importing the PS2 game as a PKG file on the PS3, when I start it it just turns off the signal and it stays on that screen. I have PSN activated already, I encrypted the file with PS2 classic GUI. Is there something i've missed or did wrong?

Hey everyone!

I recently got a Japanese PS3 CECHB00 (the fully backwards-compatible model), and I've been having a really strange issue with its disc drive.

Before installing CFW:

• My PS3 recognized my original NTSC-U Gran Turismo 4 PS2 disc in the XMB.
• It wouldn't launch because of the region lock, which was expected.
• The disc drive was making a very loud spinning/vibrating noise when reading both PS2 and PS3 games.

After installing Evilnat 4.93 CFW:

• PS2 discs stopped appearing in the XMB entirely.
• I've tested Gran Turismo 4 and Guitar Hero II, both on DVD.
• The discs seem to keep spinning, but nothing appears.
• PS3 Blu-ray games, such as Gran Turismo 5, still work perfectly.
• Blu-ray movies also work.
• Interestingly, the loud drive noise has since disappeared.

Things I've already tried:

• Downgraded from Evilnat 4.93 to Evilnat 4.92.2 CEX, with QA Flags enabled.
• Confirmed Cobra is enabled.
• Tried toggling Cobra and rebooting.
• Checked the discs through multiMAN: /dev_bdvd appears with PS3 Blu-rays but not with PS2 DVDs.
• Checked dev_ps2disc, but it shows no content.
• Used the PS3 Recovery Menu to restore the file system. It detected corruption and completed the repair, but the problem remains.

The strangest part is that the PS3 definitely recognized Gran Turismo 4 before I installed CFW, even though it couldn't launch it due to the region lock.

I'm starting to suspect the CD/DVD laser or some mechanical issue with the drive, especially considering the loud noise it was making when I first got the console.

However, the timing with the CFW installation makes me wonder whether there's something else going on.

Has anyone experienced something similar on an early backwards-compatible PS3?

Could this be a failing DVD laser, a drive mechanism issue, or some CFW-related setting I'm overlooking?

I'm considering opening the console to inspect the drive, but I'd really appreciate some advice before doing that.

Thanks in advance!

When trying to install hen after updating the system via a usb i can't for the love of Christ get it to work. When installing I noticed it always said mismatch in memory. I hope someone can help me with this. Thanks

I recently bought this PS3 Slim (CECH-20xx) and ran a thermal test for around 5-6 minutes. Do these temperatures look normal, or should I be concerned about the console’s condition?

I recently got back into gaming on my ps3 and got into an inescapable error code 8002f1f9 pointing to wifi and bluetooth connectivity, which I've experienced in the past. Without having to make this an offline console I'm wanting to repair.

The voltage deregulator seems like a simple fix, but I can't seem to find much information on anyone repairing the wifi/bt module. Does anyone have guidance or links or hardware information for this step in the repair process? I can't seem to find much available information online without consuming a scrap for part board.

Ps3 model info: cech-2501a

​

I have a PS3 Fat, model CECHG01, that has been sitting unused for several months.

When I plug it into a power outlet, the red standby light never turns on. There is absolutely no light at all until I press the power button.

When I press the power button, the green light turns on for a few seconds, then the console shuts off completely. The fan also starts and stops at exactly the same time as the green light, although I can't see the fan itself, I can only feel it running briefly.

After the console shuts off, there is no red standby light or yellow light. I can repeat the same behavior by pressing the power button again without unplugging the console. It turns green for a few seconds and then shuts off again.

What could be causing this? Could it be a faulty power supply (PSU), or is it more likely to be a motherboard issue? Has anyone experienced the same symptoms with a CECHG01?

hi!!! can someone explain this to me in a way thats easy to understand?

as i’m sure we’ve all heard, apparently ps5’s can natively play ps2 discs just by jailbreaking the console & adding an emulator software

so now my question is, why is that not possible on a jailbroken ps3?? i have a ps3 super slim, as well as a ps2 & would love to just be able to play the ps2 games on the ps3 to have one less console (also ps3 looks a lot better on modern tvs, so i always use my ps3 to play my ps1 discs over using my ps2)

i would love to have as few consoles as possible to play my physical media collection, however i’m not quite comfortable jailbreaking my ps5 yet, prob something i’ll look into years in the future when it becomes less of a risk. and obv since ps3 is an old generation console, its relatively safe to jailbreak however, after researching, i was disappointed to find out a jailbroken ps3 cannot play ps2 discs the same way a jailbroken ps5 can & now im just curious why

Hii, I ported UCraft (a tiny Minecraft Java server written in C) to PS3. In the screenshot you can see the app running in RPCS3, but I already tested it on real hardware and it works! It supports client version 26.1.2, both premium (online-mode) and offline clients It also has a simple UI that shows the player list (I'm going to improve it, I promise)

Just went over YouTube and saw this and was shocked to see what is possible in Black Ops 2…. It is almost like Plutonium on PC. I am really hyped to see where it is going. What are your thoughts about it ?

Salut, j’ai une PS3 Slim avec un CFW Evilnat 4.93. Je voudrais savoir quelles consoles peuvent être émulées dessus : PSP, PS1, PS2, Dreamcast, Wii, Wii U, 3DS, Nintendo 64, GameCube, GBA, DS, SNES, NES et bien d’autres.

Quels émulateurs fonctionnent réellement sur PS3 et lesquels valent le coup d’être installés ?

Merci pour vos conseils !

So when I first installed the update the internet was broken as hell I could not even play GTA online back then but now I just opened the PlayStation and now it works out of nowhere is that only me

I have just released a VSH plugin for PS3s running custom firmware which enables DVDs to be played via RGB SCART. It prevents the unit from switching to YPbPr when playback begins, eliminating the "green video" issue that has frustrated RGB SCART users for decades at this point.

The plugin is available from my GitHub repository, alongside all of the knowledge that I have amassed regarding the PS3's video output format switching protocols throughout development. It has been tested under Evitnat 4.92 (CEX/Cobra).

It works with both BluRay and DVDs. :)

So I haven't touched my PS3 in almost two years. I finally got it hooked back up and I'm wondering where should I start getting it updated? What new things should I look into?

ive seen on social media some players getting delisted and hard to get avatars from their modded console, i was really curious how they arent banned, would connecting your psn account to a modded ps3 flag something on sonys radar, ive been interested in modding my ps3 for avatars but im scared to get psn banned, i just really want those region locked/delisted avatars

Greetings! I've been working on a Dreamcast emulator for the Playstation 3 since last month on a daily basis and It's currently coming out nicely! ETA is end of the month. The project is in a very advanced state right now and can boot many games at very good speed with no graphical glitches. Hope you'll enjoy reviving Project Justice, Phantasy Star Online and the OG Sonic Adventure on the PS3!

console has had cfw since 2023 but recently i’ve discovered my ps2 games ramp the fans up to 80% instead of the 40% i have them set at on webman and firmware settings. have rebuilt the database and double checked the settings over and over to no avail, syscon setting turned the fans off completely and temps shot up. have seen a couple of posts about this issue on 4.93 as well but no concrete answers has anyone figured this out?

it’s a fat model so 80% is blaringly loud on it making those games virtually unplayable for me lol

Basically the title really. I've been looking into homebrewing my PS3 that I own and have had for a year or two but since I shared my PS5 profile to it I'm worried about possible repurcussions/bricking of either or both consoles. I did look online and saw a CECH2002A going for a pretty solid price but if all I need is a USB for HEN then why buy a whole new console, you know?

My PS3 doesn't connect to the internet automatically and is the right firmware update for PS3HEN (4.91) though. Should I just remove the profile from my PS3 and it'll be ok? I have no intention of connecting it to the internet again really.

In addition is the PS2 loader similar to the FMCB one wherein you can just place ISO files on a USB? Or is PS2 a whole different ball game for emulating? I know this is probably in the faq but thought I may as well ask while here. I'm already used to FMCB on my PS2 and getting ISOs but that's about it in terms of my technical knowledge.

Anyways thank you for all of your help!
