Is a third one really necessary? We don't need daily threads. Anyways

>mfw no face

What are you anons sporting?

WE FLY HIGH

I must have gotten close to 150 games since the PS3Exploit hit. Now I don't want to play any.

Fuck external hard drives, buy an internal one and enjoy FTP transfers.

>>14033007

>>mfw playing PS1+PS2+PS3

No one in this shit board overrun by 4channers can understand the beauty of this. The playstation 3 right now is the de facto best console in history.

>>14033007

Not necessarily daily, I just wanted to talk about it because I just got my really old external hard drive working with my PS3, I just had to format it with a simple tool called fat32formatter. Using other partition managers didn't seem to work. Now I'm playing Vanquish. Interesting so far.

>>14033081

Exactly. I have the FAT one which has the better PS2 emulation or something and I gotta say I feel fucking great with a huge library of games, just need bigger hard drives.

>owning actual hardware

>not just emulating

fucking nu/v/ i swear

I might get a ps4 if it gets actual cfw.

>>14033091

Only issue is ps1 games run in 480i so it looks awful

>>14033222

Just install retroarch

Does anyone know how I can play large PS2 isos via my FAT32 drive? The PS3 splitter doesn't work for PS2 isos, and my internal HDD is really small since I have a FAT PS3.

Do you guys have any recommendations for a third party PS3 controller? I really hate the build quality of the official dualshock 3, both of mine have broken down on me.

So I'm running REBUG 4.81 DEX

And I want to buy one of those 1.5 tb replacement hard drives.

Can I do a system restore with cfw?

>>14033081

>The playstation 3 right now is the de facto best console in history.

This is what Sonyggers actually believe.

>>14033940

oh boy, here come the shitposters, fresh out of their generals.

>>14033955

>fresh out of their generals

>>14033958

This isn't a general. I just wanted to continue discussion. I did not provide standard links and information in the OP. Fuck off m8

>>14033967

>>14033972

>>14033967

>this isn't a general

>my OP was more shit and has yet to form anything cohesive

>we suck sony's dick in these threads

>its recurring and we talk about the same shit

you're right its worse than a general

All honestly, I mostly use my ps3 as a media player with universal media server. Still surprised how that aspect holds up extremely well. The PS4 media player sucks ass.

>>14033999

Ok

>>14033987

persona 5 on ps3 is the worse version in terms of visuals and framerate but it's the same game otherwise.

>>14032911

how can you have three threads about that which has no games

man /v/ has become complete shit lately

Does anyone else have problems with the Tales of Vesperia from the previous thread? It seems to be stuck on a white screen after loading the game. It doesn't freeze or anything, just doesn't load.

>>14033138

Been planning on getting one just for that. I mean I already use the Wii as an emubox but DS+Wii is a definite plus.

>>14033081

Forgot to mention PSP as well, however compatibility leaves much to be desired.

>>14034029

This, so much this. Im running 1TB internal and 2TB external (though to be fair I also use that for other CFW consoles + media). Sometimes its easier for those 20GB+ games to just go to gamestop, buy one used, burn the game straight to the HDD and return it. Free returns as long as its returned in 7 days.

>>14033050

I mean yeah it will work with emulation but many titles straight up dont work or work like shit. Its almost PCSX2 tier emulation

<tfw ps2 emulation on non-og fats is fucking awful

>>14033940

>>14033987

>>14034002

what why

>>14033007

>Is a third one really necessary?

Yes. Think about the anons who had to wait for their autism checks to come in before they could get a used console/new harddrive.

Anyone had luck getting Lost Planet 2 to install? The only copy I've found keeps trying to install to the hard drive, and failing midway.

anyone tried to play Demon's Souls again since the server going down announcement? I have a digital copy installed to the PS3 but after playing a while, the sound breaks and skips often. sometimes it gets worse, sometimes it resolves itself after a bit. no other game does this, think it's the server shitting out?

>>14033007

I've got a 250gb slim with 4.812 rebug. Looking into updating to 4.82 LITE, but that name makes me wonder if there's potentially lost features in upgrading, or if it's effectively incomplete. Either way, hoping that updating might fix the issue I'm having where half the time try to quit a game causes the system to freeze up and autoreboot. Tried looking online for more information on the issue, but most of what I've found is outdated by a number of years, rather than being pertinent to the Thanksgiving exploit.

>>14033081

I certainly appreciate physical backwards compatibility, especially when it's becoming less and less a priority with current systems, but I do wish the fat models didn't have as many longevity issues as they apparently do compared to the slims (friend's 60gb is starting to have trouble noticing anything that's not bluray being put in the disc slot; thinking it's either the laser or lens). I've got a fat PS2 with HDD loading alongside my slim though, so I should have all three generations covered in playing both physically or digitally.

>>14033098

Has the PS4 seen anything promising on the hacking/CFW end at this point?

>>14034021

You can also use the CFW to essentially get the full game for free, as I've seen uploaded DLC packs for it, whereas with the PS4 I'd assume you'd have to pay for everything at this point in time. Credit where it's due though: Atlus seems to have made about half the DLC, namely the non-cameo costumes/personae, free.

>>14034042

Been playing Vesperia myself; only issues I've had is occasional freezing when quitting the game (and minor overworld slowdown at times; weather effects seem to be the cause). What model of system do you have and what CFW are you running, out of curiosity?

>>14036953

Use a white man's filesystem for fuck's sake.

>>14036667

I had issues with mine until I updated, now it just werks. You can check whats being added and compare it to your version on the rebug site

>>14034588

>>14033138

What guide do you recommend for cfw Wii u?

>nudoom

Take that shit outta my face. Only 4cucks like that gimped memegame.

should we consolidate PS3 threads into a larger, broader console modding thread in order to make them cyclical? It seems that a lot of the people in the PS3/Xbox/WiiU/3DS threads all have the same general interest.

>>14036953

webman has NTFS access, but it's not persistent across the OS. Not a big deal for me, because everything else I got does media and emulation better than the PS3.

>>14038637

I'd be good for a /cmt/, but a large thread would be pretty hard to follow. I suppose putting other consoles but the ones you want to see into the filter would work just fine.

>>14038969

I think if emulation generals juggle it fairly well we could handle modding/maintenance/general discussion. It would be active too considering the variety of topics

>>14037072

>override

Pretty much, just make sure you dont have any game mounted and that the internet connection is disabled just in case. Yeah, delete the toolbox before installing the new one. I downloaded the full one, don't know the difference but is more downloaded than the other so thats the one I chose.

>>14036953

Does it support any non shit filesystem like ext4?

Where the fuck do I buy a good quality Dualshock 3? My left analogue started bugging out and I can't find them anywhere.

Anyone have the Ultra DLC for SFIV? Still looking for it.

>>14039421

they have new official sony ones for 30 bucks or less on ebay.

>>14038637

Easier than having a half dead ps3 thread, Dreamcast thread, and a Nintendo thread.

So what's the largest internal HDD size recognizable by a fat PS3? I haven't been able to find a solid answer

>>14039752

This one right here. I tried putting a 2 TB hard drive in my PS3 and it refused to do anything with it.

https://www.amazon.com/Seagate-Spinpoint-2-5-Inch-Internal-ST1500LM006/dp/B00KY9M6FY

>>14039599

yeah. There's probably a lot of overlap there. Speaking personally I know I'd be interested in talking about/helping with ps3, xbox, wii, psp, sega saturn, ps2.

wow this thread sure is nogaems

>>14040369

The shoulder buttons feel cheap and don't have a really satisfying feeling when you press them, but they work fine and the rest of the controller's pretty good.

>>14038969

>>14036987

>>14039339

You would THINK that the Playstation, being FreeBSD-based, could be made to load UFS drivers across the CFW pretty easily.

CFW makers are all Hispanic skiddies though so I doubt they've ever heard of a filesystem other than the 20th century Microsoft ones.

>>14041539

<huge boner for fat32 no matter what

<no interest in ext4

>you can use ftp xd

<its slow

>>14041283

>>14039324

Looking at the instructions again, it reads as:

>From XMB install REBUG 4.21.x AND HIGHER over any 3.55 OFW/CFW/MFW or the same or lower firmware version CFW with spkg sig check patched or any firmware version CFW with spkg sig check patched and QA enabled.

What exactly is this spkg sig check and QA enabling it's looking for? Considering I've already downgraded from Ferrox to Rebug 4.81.2 before (back when there still wasn't a Rebug directly compatible with systems that had been at 4.82 OFW), do I even need to worry about either of those things at this point? Think I had to use a QA toggle to do so already, but this is the first I've heard about spkg.

>>14042396

Transferring data from one PS3 to another is as simple as FTP'ing the contents of one PS3 to your PC and from there to the other one. Mind you both have to have CFW installed.

>A CECH-4200 model with nearly identical hardware to that of the CECH-4000 model was introduced in 2013 to follow the AACS rule of inhibiting analog (component and composite) output of Blu-ray disc content effective since 2014.

Is there any way to tell the difference between these models, or do I have to physically pick one up & check the i.d. on the underside? I ask because I actually still use a CRT for some 4:3 blurays (Twin Peaks mostly).

>>14042816

Well, if you're looking a model to put CFW on, I'm pretty sure both of those are out of the question, at least as of now. But you'd probably need to check the sticker on the back of the machine for the exact model number, and perhaps the production date on the underside (assuming the superslims, which I assume those are numbers are, still put a sticker on the bottom too).

>>14042821

I wonder why they blocked people from playing PS3s in component? Is there any non jewish reason for them to do that?

>>14042827

Just hdcp, but it took effect so long into the systems lifetime its way too easy to avoid those systems.

>>14042302

I got ban'd from PSN for logging on with a hacked console. It's filed as a temporary ban four years ago during the modded GTA O days, so I plan to ask them to lift it as soon as I find a cheap PS4. I don't know if the online community for any game is good anymore, but if the need to get stuff from the PSN is important, or you want to brag about trophies, then try to keep online activity to a minimum.

>>14042473

The awesome thing is, it just werks with a lot of other things too. I've used it to stream to nearly anything with a connection.

>>14043485

Basically it's for PSN and Dark Souls and for what it's worth I hadn't had any issues using it up until a few months ago when I gave it a break.

>>14040369

Its pretty good, I got mine for Virtua Fighter and Marvel 3. Works pretty good.

>>14043485

They slapped me with a permanent ban for my ps3. My own fault really, I let it sync saves with the server, and they must have found out that way. I didn't own much on that account, other than a few things I could pirate with my new ps3 anyway, so I just took it as a learning experience.

Tried getting it back at some point, but they are real hard asses about it. If yours is temporary, it should be okay, but don't be surprised if they just say no flat out.

>>14043824

Hey, its one of the better shooters these days, compared to Battlefront and the like. I won the system in a contest, so what am I supposed to do, throw it out?

>>14042473

He'll, if you have an original Xbox that can still be a pretty good media box. Before the ps3, it was THE media centre to have. XBMC was the shit, it's called Kodi nowadays.

>>14043846

Like I said, it happened automatically. Wasn't a conscious decision.

So I just need to update to 4.82 and sit on it for another year until xploit can write to 3000s?

>>14040801

>>14043804

Thanks a lot, anons.

Gonna play some 3rd Strike and Hard Corps Uprising with this.

>>14043824

Well, actually the Switch version has the advantage of "portability" (playing while taking a crap) so at least it has something. PS4/XBONE versions have nothing positive compared to PC. The game even works fine in Linux via WINE

>>14044872

>It has something

You forgot to list what it doesn't have from HD res to 60 FPS to decent visuals.

Its like the fucking port of Doom for the GBA.

Anyone already played the PS3 emulator?

Recently I managed to get Naruto Storm 2 working. All the other games sucked and were not working but naruto was playable. Some lags but pretty decent on my machine (3770K + 7990HD).

>>14044943

I know about that, anon. I'm not defending it, I'm just saying it's the "least shit" version of a game I don't even want to waste my HDD space on. I saw my brother play it and I really disliked the focus on glory kills and the fact the game obligues you to use them for healing. I'll stick to DOOM mods for now.

>>14045333

Very relevant memes you have there, but visuals are hardly the goal for a novelty, portable version of a game.

>>14045399

Neither is the gameplay apparently because the game is shit and the Switch version is the only version that runs at 30FPS and has the FOV of a Tank Driver.

Its not worth the portability no matter how much you fucking shills try to make it seem that way.

>>14045633

the doom 2 port by Taurus was actually pretty good. Not great, was censored in a few ways like green blood, and the color was pretty rough but they used their own engine which was also used in serious sam and duke nukem 3d on the GBA. The music was pretty faithful too, I don't think that port gets the credit it deserves. It's also still Doom 2 which isn't a particularly great game but I'm not going to spend time splitting hairs.

I personally enjoy observing the differences in ports, and despite what a lot of vocal PC shills on /v/ want to believe, there is a lot of merit to some ports.

>>14046586

>he exclaims in fury whilst defending nvidia, intel, and valve "do not talk about these things which I do not like!"

hi shill, looks like you're in a thread you don't belong in. This is about the PS3 ultimately and you can stop derailing now gamezard.

>>14046971

This step is becoming phased out with the ease of getting CFW on PS3 these days.

>>14047427

I wanna try it now, let me check a few things first.

>>14047470

go and enforce rule 8, this thread has nothing to do with the topic he's been shitting it up with for the past 5 hours

>>14047616

also the afterimages are a result of taking photos of a moving LCD. It's not like that in-game.

>>14047616

nice

what setup do you have and can I do it on an original phatty

>>14047628

using a CECH-25XX slim PS3, original fats are guaranteed to be successful. Just do the CFW if you haven't yet. https://www.se7ensins.com/forums/threads/how-to-install-ps3xploit.1687612/

>>14047634

>>14047616

And that's running through Cobra? Actually haven't bothered fiddling with that on mine just yet.

>>14047628

If you're using a fat, I'd wager once you have the CFW on it you could just ftp the game file the system's PS2 ISO folder, mount it via Multi Man, and play with the internal chip as if you have the disc itself in there. Though, that's assuming it's a hardware compatible fat, and not the 80gb fat.

>>14033094

Better save up to upgrade your pc anon, that ps3 emulator doesn't run on a toaster. Meanwhile everyone else can turn an actual hardware ps3 into a sony emulator machine for 50 bucks.

>>14049006

My best guess would be that folder name being too similar to shorthand for some website, or something. I think I've had it do that for me before in a prior thread. Anyhow, all you had to do was mount it via Multiman with Cobra enabled? Neat.

>>14047616

I tried emulating drakengard but the game would lag really badly whenever there's multiple enemies on screen and you were hitting them. While also the menu jittering up and down.

Maybe i should drop managunz and use whatever the hell cobra is

have they released CFW for later than OFW 3.55 yet? It's a phat model on something like 3.6…

>>14049393

you can install CFW at 4.82 with a browser exploit on many models of PS3 excluding some slims and all super slims at the moment.

>>14049284

in the cobra toolkit I selected the official sony PS2 emulator and it ran excellently.

>>14049393

CFW can now be installed after a webkit exploit on any system running 4.82 OFW that has had 3.56 or older OFW on it in the past. This works for fats, 100X slims, 200X slims, and some 250X slims. Run minvercheck to verify your system is indeed compatible.

>>14049611

Is there any game that will gurrantee to update your console to 4.82? I checked my friend's PS3 and it's on 4.78.

Anyone here replaced the thermal paste on their PS3 Fat? Is it difficult/risky?

>>14050148

I have done so a bunch of years ago, it's fairly easy if you follow a youtube guide. The main thing to look out for is tearing the ribbon cable for the CF/SD/memorystick card slot when removing the cover.

>>14050129

Just download the PS3 4.82 UPDAT.PUP from the internet.

>>14042473

Glad to be of use to you, I use the feature quite often now.

If you use the music player foobar2000 add this plugin as it makes foobar2000 a media server. The music organization in UMS is pretty meh so this helps a lot.

http://www.foobar2000.org/components/view/foo_upnp

In the playback audio stream, it can mirror your play on your computer.

>>14035055

For one thing it doesn't support certain continuous audio streams, which the plugin above can do.

Also it's a nightmare if you want to listen to a music album as it takes the music in a folder and lists them alphabetically by the song name tag data. I could forgive it order things by the file names alphabetically but somehow it reads the metadata for a song file and then ignores the track number to just use the song title.

>>14050597

>>14050920

Got it. Is there a list of recommended settings? I'm doing it all wireless which looks pretty good, but I can't find a way to connect the PS3 to my PC with an Ethernet cord. I'm pretty new to this.

>>14050129

Current OFW version is still 4.82 according to Sony's website; you could just do what I've done and download it on your PC, stick it on a flash drive, and update your PS3 from external media.

>>14051105

If your computer doesn't have a direct ethernet port slot, you'll need to buy a USB-to-ethernet adaptor, and likely find and install the driver for using it as well. Also, while I'm not experience with using a PS3 as a media player, I would assume that if it's anything like using ethernet to ftp game files over, you'll also need to create a wired internet connection on the PS3 to be able to use the ethernet cable with.

>>14033910

As far as third party controllers, you might want to be careful. Was using one at my dad's place a while back and for whatever reason, while it would work just fine with PS3 games and the XMB, if you went to play older games with it, the controller would drop connection and act like the system wasn't on at all (trying to turn the controller back on, it would blink for a few seconds looking for the system to be on, and then go back to sleep after apparently finding nothing.

>>14050920

I remember having quite a bit of trouble with my PS3 media server some time ago. I was streaming to it over wifi and I recall most HD content was stuttering quite a bit. I feel like I must have been doing something wrong, but can you give me an idea?

>>14051084

Maybe not better times, but I admit they were fun.

Will the cfw affect prices of used games, I mean if I should resell what I have or not.

>>14051084

I dont get this meme

>>14054245

Nah, but the smart thing to do is abuse your refund policy of your local game store, bluray dump used games onto your internal hard drive (if you're running out of space, make it an iso or throw it onto another hard drive) then refund it with mostly no questions asked.

Is it possible to download and play psvita games on my ps3?

>>14060437

no

>>14060073

how do you do that in ps3?

>>14060561

If you have cfw on your ps3, you use a loader like multiman and just insert the disc, copy the disc to the hard drive as an iso or as a dump.

Is there an alternative method to back up the hard drive? The backup utility keeps failing at 33%, and it's not feasible to delete one thing at a time and let it run for 40+ minutes to see what's ruining it.

>>14060581

I assume thats done in that Desktop looking menu

>>14060437

For whatever reason you can download Vita games to your PS3 and then transfer them to a Vita. No idea why they have that.

>>14062805

>No idea why they have that.

I've made do with that before in the past, when for whatever reason my internet connection directly to the Vita was being fucky, yet the PS3 was having a more stable one. Took more time between downloading to and transferring from the PS3, but was better than multiple attempts with the connection being lost.

Are there many options for the FAT32 storage limit? Like Wii can we use parted files under FAT32 to manage the filesize limit? Also are there any other tools on the PC used for managing content?

>>14060650

Remove the drive and make an image of it

Before hacking my PS3, I decided to play Demons Souls before the servers shut down. I've barely been in Boletaria for 5 minutes and I'm dealing with fucking horrible audio lag. The only results I find for this issue are reddit and gamefags sucking eachother off to the tune of "just play offline LOL".

Is this really such a persistent issue with Demons Souls online? Is there absolutely no fix? If so, I might as well consider the servers fucking dead already.

>>14062694

You can also do it in one of the xmb-like menus by pressing triangle, it will show an option "Copy".

I can excuse the guy that made the first thread that has since turned into multiple, as it came to light partway through that thread, but still.

>>14067825

Seems a bit much to pay when you can easily CFW your PS3 now (just note the model/production date for a notion of if one's liable to work, and use minvercheck to be 100% accurate), and getting a bigger sized hard drive (if going from a smaller one), is relatively cheap as well (think 320gb drives on Amazon are like $25 last I checked). Hell, I know a local multimedia store around here that's doing some end-of-year console clearance, and they've got at least one 160gb marked at like $70 right now. No clue if it's one of the models within the minimum OFW range or not, but still.

>>14067825

nope. Get a used slim for 100 or less, make sure it's the right model and go to town.
