the op's wife left him after he bought 200 super nintendos in an attempt to track down a graphical error no one else could see

I bought 18 SNES console and actually solved the vertical line issue that had been plaguing the internet for 20 years thank you very much

Also I made sure I paid no more than $25 for each one of those systems and I recently sold them for $100 each because SNES console prices skyrocketed in a measly 3 years

also for some reason my wife is still with me

I want Sony to abandon the Vita so I can use emulators on it

the Vita has been hacked to hell and back. it's pretty cool, there is even a way (with something called Vitamin) that makes it turn into an actual PSP with the PSP menu and everything

people have also just recently made Sony Vita memory card to micro SD converters!

the trick does not work on the slim just yet. You might need to wait a few days for them to port the trick to it.

the ps3 slim would use 100% emulation for PS2 games. as long as you are OK with things not being 100% (and some games not working at all) you definitely can go that route if you like

any reason you are specific to the EU version?

let me know if you need help modding your ps3. if it's a slim one, I would wait a few days even though a (very) few slims can be modded with this method

if you buy a new one I doubt it's going to come with the most recent firmware, is it?

no problem. i will look for devil summoner in the meantime for you. you might be able to play the US version because then you'd get 60fps instead of 50 fps (unless that wasn't a thing on euro PS3s)

i will make sure you play this game

if it's a fat model you can put in an IDE hard drive or even a SATA drive and rip your games. no modchip needed. all you need to do is get a memory card called Free McBoot. You can make the memory card yourself or just get one on ebay

That is how i feel about my dreamcast. I have to re-calibrate the laser about once a year. It's tough finding replacement parts for it. I am sure you wouldn't have much trouble finding a replacement laser assembly for a ps2

Yeah it's really easy, I made an EU PSN account so I could play ZTD3 8 hours early before it came out in the US because gom kept posting about it. You'll just need to buy a US psn card which you can do easily through amazon, they'll just email you the code

Yep. There's only like 4 PS2 games not compatible with the 20 and 60 GB US/Japan models and Forbidden Siren 2 is not one of them so it will work just fine

The year is 2006. Sony is the laughingstock of E3. "Giant enemy crab!". "It's Ridge Racer. Riiiiidge Racer!!". "Nobody wants their controllers to rumble any more. It's an old technology and a thing of the past". "Five hundred and ninety nine US dollars". "You will want to work a second job to get one!" they proclaim to a shocked and stunned audience.

"Feh" I say to Sony's stumble as I stroll into a suburban Circuit City to pay the extra $100 for 40 extra gigs, wi-fi, and 2 more USB ports over the 20GB poverty version. "You never know if you will be in a situation where you need to plug a CompactFlash card into your PS3" I mutter to myself while barely considering my options.

"That will be $649.48" the clerk says. "Would you like to buy an extended warranty for a paltry $199.98?" he inquires as his manager stares him down, performance review in hand. "Heh." I respond. "There's no way that what I'm going to do with this thing wouldn't make that warranty invalid" I retort with a bemused chuckle. He feverishly checks the employee handbook for the script response to that scenario. There aren't any.

I park my Chevy Lumina and lug the brand new PS3 into my dimly-lit domicile (it is a Monday afternoon and no one is home). As tempting as the thought is, I know that opening the prodigious box isn't even an option. I secure it in a closet where even the most seasoned of vagrants or nosy children would never be able to find it. There it sits for several years on its stock firmware. Me, waiting for the day when MaxConsole.net informs me that a hack is available, but you would have had to have been shrewd enough to have not connected it to the internet or updated it at any time in the past 2 years. That day comes, and only those on firmware 3.55 or below can partake in the festivities. An exclusive club with very few members, indeed. I snicker as I get my USB stick ready with PS3UPDATE.PUP and a root beer in hand.

I enjoy my hacked PS3 greatly. I simper as I jump from Jumping Flash 3(j).iso to Final Fantasy X.cue to Final Fantasy XII.bin with just the press of a home button; the wireless controllers only adding to the fun. Three generations of consoles spanning 20 years literally at my fingertips. I sit there, wishing people heard my screams of "DON'T UPDATE YOUR PS3!!!!" to no avail. I lay crestfallen during the late hours of the night that my warnings fell on deaf ears. They would never get to experience the joy of opening the MultiMan homebrew app, selecting GTA IV, and having my PS3 incorrectly assume that the DJ Hero disc in the drive was what it said it was.

But alas, the day has come. That day being Thanksgiving of 2017 (it's almost poetic in a way). The PS3's firmware can now be downgraded to the coveted 3.55 firmware no matter how recent your PS3 firmware is thanks to your devil may care attitude in regards to updating. You no longer need a degree in arthroscopic surgery to install the 47-pin progskeet downgrader to enjoy what I have been enjoying for several years. Everyone, no matter where they come from, what social class they belong to, and no matter what fugazi television color encoding system your country uses; everyone gets to enjoy a PS3 that can play every PS1, PS2, and PS3 game ever made via the 2TB USB hard drive you will undoubtedly have dangling from one of the front-only USB ports.

I am so happy to be able to share this great news with you all.
