Use mechapwn if you have the right model of fat and run burnt ps1 discs easily. Still sucks you have to use the optical drive though. I don't think it will ever be possible because of how ps1 mode locks the hardware
Eh. Didn't want to bother with burning either since I don't think I have anything around that burns. It'd just be nice to everything consolidated on a drive and be done with it.
ODE on PS1 only works on certain models. It's unneccessary for the PS2 since you can just load from your network or the HDD.
I think your only option is a ps1 with ODE then
Yeah; except I'd have to track down another one since I have a PSOne. So I'd have to wait for the xStation guy to release the one he's currently testing (from 2022).
Damn man goodluck finding a ps1... so rare...
cost like 20 bucks on ebay, gonna bankrupt you for sure
Should get a PC.
You'll be able to burn things, emulate PSX better than the PS2 can, have everything consolidated in one place, and even more.
>everything for loading backups on a PS2 is still stuck in 2006
Can't wait for the first real ODE in 2035, then ps2 owners will be caught up to 2016 at long last
It's not though. a PS2 ODE is completely unnecessary for actualy ps2 games
What year are you in yourself
>still have to use freemcboot and OPL
>compatibility issues with hundreds of games, most don't even boot
>can't play ps1 games
totally not an half assed hack like the previous "solutions", thanks mr. shill!!!!!
that video is from 2 years ago
What's wrong with OPL? I don't want to use standalone utilities to get the same features like you had 20 years ago and use an ODE.
Also you don't have to use FMCB but it's the easiest way.
the OG PS3 with 4 usb ports in front plays ps1 and PS2 games...
Too bad the last known working example got the YLoD a decade ago.
How hard is this to fix?
Depends. It's a more generic error than the RRoD and can mean anything from bad caps to a dead GPU, so anything from some simple hand soldering to a full BGA rework.
All PS3s with PS2 BC out of the box (including the European hybrids) have the 90nm Cell/RSX combo and are ticking time bombs. Well, most of them have gone off at this point.
So you're saying even given a fix, it's still a time bomb? Frick Sony.
No the Frankenstein mod isn't a time bomb. The time bomb is the original Phat GPU
Yes, illiterate kun. Let's try this again.
>PS3 has a mod
>mod keeps it from self-destructing because ????
>profit
It's not just a guess that the mod keeps it from self-destructing since we have nearly 15 years of evidence that PS3 Slims don't suffer the same issue.
The problem with PS3 Phats was the NVIDIA bumpgate scandal of 2006-2008, wherein solder bumps on their chips were fricked—this affected the PS3's own NVIDIA GPU, leading to the high failure rates of PS3 Phats.
Later PS3 models and indeed NVIDIA's entire manufacturing process have long since resolved the bumpgate issue.
So basically my dead phat is permadead unless I learn how to solder or pay a gay. I'll keep it in mind.
There is a "Frankenstein mod" where you solder the GPU from newer PS3's onto a Phat
Does it play them from the HDD though?
Jailbroken yes easily
A lot of PS2 games do work on the non backwards compatible ps3s using jailbreaks
I too love input lag and 480i
not good for CRT with the ps1 stuff
there are 4 USB port models that do software PS2 emulation
Still my favourite gif ever
Early PS2 models use the CPU from PS1 as input/output processor for things like accessing the hard drive or network. It can't do that and run a PS1 game at the same time, it's too weak for that. You can't have your cake and eat it too.
Interesting. I wasn't aware that's what it was doing.
It's because it runs in PS1 mode, the I/O processor directly talks to the optical drive to run the PS1 game, the EE is doing nothing, there's no way for the EE to load games over TCP for the I/O processor to run.
Emulatorchads managing our libraries is so easy lmao…..just flip the page in batocera or emulation station……..
For all the effort you are going through, you might as well just replace the laser.
This used to bother me tremendously, but now PS1 emulators are good so who cares. The days of psxfin and EPSXE are over
Yeah where I'm at too. Maybe I'll get a ps1 too
