hi so i recently bought a ps3 from game stop and iv been up all night trying to mod this thing ( iv never done this before ) iv managed to get hen on the device but if i need any other software or anything im missing in order to download and run ps2 and ps1 and ps 3 games. i have a usb flash drive and i have some games downloaded in “ .iso “ format but they wont open / run / play everytime i try to open it on the ps3. i will link the error image below. someone please help me because i bought this for me and my little brother in hopes of playing a lot of games, iv been up all night trying to do this and honestly im at a point where im thinking of returning it and just buying a modded one online from someone. reddit is my last hope so PLEASE!! i also included the type i have because idk if i have a compatible version for CFW / Evil Nat. oh and also im on 4.93. everytime i would try to run a game it says “ Error! HEN does not support PS2 ISO
Use encrypted game:”

While playing Uncharted 2 my console simply turns off, the light blinks red untill I restart it, the SYSCON log shows error A0801001, when playing other demanding games like Dark Souls it doesn't happen at all, no artifacts, no glitching.

The temps are sitting around 60C at 35% fans for both cell and RSX, I've tried with different power cables, all of them rating 10A 90-250V 3x0.75mm2, about 96 days of run time.

Should I worry about the NEC/Tokins or it might be something else?

Hello everyone,

I downloaded and installed the Warhawk PKG with the appropriate RAP license into my CFW PS3. But i get the 8002951D error when i try to boot it.

Any fix?

Hello everyone. I wanted to mod my ps3 after modding my ps2, i've watched a few tutorials and the whole process compared to ps2 is a bit daunting.

I found a found a very recent tutorial from a british guy ("Mod your 4.93 Firmware PlayStation 3 with Flash Writer") and I wanted to follow that procedure. He's installing --> CFW Evilnat 4.93 - PEX. uThe guide seems straight forward and very detailed, but (obviously) he doesnt talk about loading isos into the hard drive, so my questions are:

- Is there a way to preload the HDD with a bunch of isos (similar to what is done on ps2 with opl and winhiip) and just play there from there? If not what would be a straight forward method? (dropping a link to a guide would be much appreciated)
- Is a 500 GB HDD okay for such a task?

I don't have a bunch of games to backup into the hdd so that's why i'm asking.

thanks in advance even for reading, i'm sorry i'm a newbie with this console so i apologize if i'm asking stupid questions.

Topic.

On the VITA you can type in the "url" from the title, add a title ID and the proper store page opens up. Doesnvt allow you to circumvent anything. It's just a workaround for the broken store search.

I was wondering if something similar exists for PS3 as its search function is currently still broken.

Please note, I will eventually hack one of my PS3s, but right now I won't as I still want to be able to go online and get trophies and stuff. ​

My PS3 CECHE01 started acting up a few weeks ago, so I began looking for another backward-compatible console. I’ve been offered this CECHA01 with these stats—is the usage time good? What worries me, though, is the "602" count; do those represent bad shutdowns? Is it a good option? The console has never been opened.

Hi, I have a backwards compatible CECHB PS3, I installed the Evilnat 4.93 firmware on it to play PS2 games from files rather than discs but I can't load them from Multiman.

It says 80028F17 when I try to launch them, also the disc is shown blue unlike real physical discs that are shown orange. Just to be clear, real physical discs still work just as they did before jailbreaking the console. I think the color difference might be that it tries to load the emulator instead of the real built in PS2? I'm not sure.

I recently pulled my PS3 out of storage and discovered it fails to boot. I reset the video settings and now the system crashes after asking if I want to switch to HDMI (both yes and no crash the system to a black screen). Safe mode doesn’t do much either, I can load into it but rebuild database and restore system didn’t fix anything. So then I tried to reinstall with a system update but that just causes the system to freeze to a point where I have to hold the power button for 15 seconds to shut it off. I am at a loss on what is going on. It worked totally fine last time it was used. Any info on what this may be helps.

I know you've seen several people asking the same thing, but i'm wondering about my case as well.

This is my 3000 PS3, which I have it since March of this year (at that time, the usage count was around 345 days) and during that month I also did it's mantainance. A few months later, I installed qCFW with a modchip.

Back then I ran the fan always at 40% and speed it up at 55% when it's ingame. My current configuration is let the PS3 run at least at 30% of the fan speed, and when either the CELL or RSX ramp up beyond 65°C, the fan starts kicking in until the console is cooled.

My question is, are my temperatures good? surely I don't need to do delidding (since it's a 3000 model I shouldn't even try it), but is it good?

I can't find a solid guide to go from 4.88 ofw to 4.93 evilnat or what should I do?

Just the hfw then flash write then nand patch then install 4.93?

And so do I used 4.93 hfw? Can anyone help I stumbled in a gold mine and need help setting it up​

Is the player base in games like bo2 ,bo1, MW2, dark souls 1-2 still active since I don't want to waste time just for me to wait an hour for a match and then find it filled with hackers , and if my PSN account gets banned the PS3 will still work right? Can I just log in to another psn account and start playing again?

Model: CECH-3001A

Fresh Thermal Paste (Homemade)

Temps after 3 hours spent on xmb downloading games.

Forgive me if this is a dumb question, as I'm only very recently looking into modding my PS3, but will I still be able to load up my physical discs and play them after modding? Or will I need to make digital copies of them into the HDD?

I only ask as when I modded my Vita I was bummed out to realise the physical collection I'd accrued was unable to be used after modding. I don't mind having to digitise my collection, but it'll suck if my physical collection is rendered useless in the process.

Hey all!

I was wondering if anyone would want to play, I get on COD, Minecraft, PS Home and more and would love to make more friends.

I also offer free modding services such as the following:

- Avatars

- Modded Vita Colors

- CODs

- Anything else ask

Look forward to playing with some of you!

juegos por USB?

A few weeks ago, my PS3 CECHE01 started having display issues. I was told the "Silicon Image" chip might be the culprit, so it was replaced, but the console still has the same problem. The strange thing is that if I connect it via component cables, the image looks fine for PS3 games, but if I play PS2 games, the image looks bad again. Any suggestions?

I want to use my ps vita to remote play on my ps3 but I don't want to manually change every .sfo file on my ps3. Does anyone know any tools or methods to do it easier or better? I'm on evilnat 4.93
