to get an idea of how good at these things i am, when i got it i had to watch 5 youtube videos and it took me 2 dayss to find out why the screen was flickering and the sound cutting out (it was some option in the menus to make it do that)

if its the kind with the kind of corrugated plastic looking top and the disc tray that just slides open then its a super slim which apparently cant be done just yet, the slim has a kind of matte surface and the old style fat ps3 is a huge glossy thing. if its a regular slim then you need to look at the label but if its a fat one then they all work

turns out my ps3 is much like me, regular slim

That being said the number thing I wanna do is make the power supply external because you can no joke fry an egg on that thing but there isn't a single good guide out there on how to do it.

spent my evening setting this up and its pretty awesome. gonna use it for ps1/psp games for now, since they have hardware support, before even trying to use any probably junky emulators. its fascinating looking at the homebrew databases for this and its flooded with ports of 12 year old link to the past romhacks with expanded universes and pdf lore companions with 25 total downloads.

i went to do it a while ago but i got confused by the instructions and gave up :eng99:

ive got my free mcboot card and now as far as i can work out, since i dont want to stream games from my pc the easiest way to play is get the oem network sata adapter thing for like $20, a 2 tb hdd and then load games onto it via the usb port? please correct me if im an r word and theres a better way

Pablo Nergigante posted:

I think you can load games on the HDD over the network and it’s faster because the USB port is 1.1 and it’s insanely slow

everything ive reas says the sata adapter gets ridnif the network port :geno:

Oh I dunno I have a slim PS2 and just run games from the network share. Maybe you can get a SATA USB adapter and load the games from your computer, it’s bound to be quicker than doing it on the PS2

the fat has a network adapter but theres an official l adapter you get that lets you use sata hard drives instead of ide but you lose the network port. apparently there's a 3rd party one that lets you have the port but i have no idea where to find it lol

i can boot off my pc for now but i don't want my ps2 tied to my laptop to game and dedicate all my space on there to roms lol i guess it looks like 17 days straight of file transferring is the best option so far unless i can find that adapter lmfao

A program called winhiip will put the game directly on the hard drive if you get it connected to your computer via USB. Or at least that is the way I did it the last time I messed with the HDloader stuff

yeah i found that out yesterday. i think after i play a bunch of burnout 3 I'm gonna have a metal gear august

It's not a "best of" pack or anything but this should be a lot easier for ya, and no annoying torrents to deal with if you don't want to. You can just go down the list, right-click > save as on anything that you want individually.

i swear to god i cant work out how to correctly format my drat 2tb drive, every result on the internet tells me to do it a different way but its obviously not doing it right because none of the iso loaders can see it when i hook it up to my pc. i feel like the worlds biggest r-tard

just mostly because Sony is going to be shutting down those servers that allow you to download psp, vita, and ps3 digital-only game releases, DLC, and stuff like that. Apparently by this summer.

I mean there might be a website that will host all that stuff in the future but I wouldn't count on it. as of right now you can still download delisted games like the Simpsons arcade game from PSNStuff (a windows program) so it already has its benefits even without anything being shut down yet

im sure if i need a copy of any of those games you will provide it if i ask
