    I love the ps2 and ps3 era. I don't have a ps3 but do own an original ps2 in really good condition.

    a Homebrew Wii and PS3 are the best consoles, Homebrew Wii can do classic N64 games, all Native Gamecube games and Wii Isos.
  • 5:37 A small correction to how the PS2 stuff works on the superslim, while yes the iso has to be encrypted to the bin.enc format the name of said game has to be the actual game ID that you can find on the game's case or the dvd itself. Let's take NFS Most Wanted as the example, the id for the NTSC/US release is SLUS-21267. After we encrypted the iso of the game we're gonna be asked to save it with the default name is ISO.BIN.ENC but we're gonna save under the name of SLUS_212.67.BIN.ENC (SLUS_212.67 is the ID of the game just like I mentioned before) and donezo. Once you do copy it to the PS3 itself via multiman inside the PS2ISO folder always make a folder with the actual name of the game and inside said folder drop the SLUS_212.67.BIN.ENC file. Long and convoluted but trust me it's worth it as doing it this way will allow the homebrew known as Webman to automatically load a config for the game (and a lot of the games do need it in order to fix their issues or in some cases some games like Battlefront 2 will require a config to properly boot)
  • as a collector, the rising prices of ps3 games, i hacked mine soon as possible and haven't looked back.
  • I for one enjoyed the he'll outta your podcast/video 😅 I can agree with most everything you had an issue with on PS3 modded

    I love how you're funny without being forced

    You are probably using WebMan. Just go to the fan control and apply the Syscon curve rather than default. The default is set to keep your CPU or RSX (or both) within 68C. Nothing wrong should happen, it's just more noise and keeping your hardware a bit cooler.

    Playing PS2 games on a Jailbroken PS4 is damn good !!! Very nice Upscaling to 720p (or even 1080p !!), unfortunately not all the games are compatible and others have glitches .

    Love my cfw ps3. Got the external with about 30 titles and the hdd with about 30 from the pkjgi store. I dont play games online but i do log in to sinc my trophies to add to my collection. Rdr and gta sa at the moment. Still looks great on hd tv
  • I run an external fan blowing in the back. One of those small round desk fans they have for about $10
  • @kjmanoni
    i hear you with transfer times I had to let my xbox go all night to put on 175 games

    IMPORTANT: Make sure you turn OFF the auto-update feature in settings. Sony still updates PS3 firmware from time to time, and if that happens to your CFW or HEN console, you will lose the hacked functionality until there is a corresponding CFW or HEN update.
  • The reason why the fan is louder has to do with webman. Once you activate hen, webman is activated, too. However, this is not bad. I recommend you to press R3+L3 in the XMB to have statistics about temperatures. If they're not too hot on idle, not more than 55 Celsius, I'd recommend you to set the fan speed to manual and put it in 35%, that usually does the job even with demanding games and it's not as noisy.

    Think its the web man app making the PS3 fan loud. I deleted it cos my fan was acting up. Ps3s been quiet since
  • @aaronkemp7789
    My Multiman doesn’t always launch correctly either. Just have to power off and try again.
  • @NNAAWWTT
    I still have my ps3 slim that runs rebug 4.84 rebug dex with a “e flasher” ever heard of those thats when modding a ps3 was complicated, now its just called “get a usb, dump files and get a hfw .pup file a cfw .pup file”
  • Can someone please tell me where and how to get the games on to the CFW??
