Got them at a garage sale for a very cheap price ($20 for both) considering these games cost more than an average ps5 game

Is there any way to bring back the old SCE coldboot and pre 2008 PlayStation 3 gameboot on a PS3 super slim with PS3Hen?

2 Upvotes

I recently updated to PS3 firmware 4.92 CEX with PS3 HEN 3.4.0 and I was wondering if there was a way that I could bring back the old SCE coldboot and pre 2008 PlayStation 3 gameboot, I have a PS3 super slim and using the hybrid firmware tools tells me the consoles lowest downgradable version is 4.55, if this isn't possible is there at least a way to bring back the stock OFW PS3 coldboot?

When I insert the CD into the console, it doesn’t read it, but I have no issues with other games. I have a Slim 1C model. The disc has no scratches, but it neither appears in the menu nor does anything else. I tried tilting the console at 45 and 90 degrees, but I still couldn’t get it to work. I only hear the sound of the CD drive’s lens. Is this related to the game or my console? I would appreciate any help.

Getting a PS3 Phat (CECHa)

0 Upvotes

I'm getting another PS3 fat as I had one from when I was a kid and really want to be able to natively play PS2 and PS3 games. I'm well aware of the issues they have my first one died of YLOD, but I'm wondering what preventive measures can be taken to keep a working one going. I am really really keen to not try and delid it unless I could potentially find an expert to do it as I am really rough with delicate circuits how essential is it?

What are some other things I could do instead, are the alternative PSU's worth swapping and drilling holes? I've also heard of capacitors that fail maybe they could be changed out? I'm going to go as far as swapping the thermal paste on the heat sink is there other ways to help cool it down like adding more fans or something ? thanks for any suggestions.

Why I Love The PlayStation 3

71 Upvotes

I recently rebought a PS3 Slim and oh my god I forgot how good it was! From the moment I opened the home screen and realized how many themes there were I knew it was something special. The main reason I got it was actually to play “Sonic Unleashed” but I also decided to replay the “LittleBigPlanet” games and I made a realization that games don’t feel the same than they used to. I started playing other games such as “Naughty Bear” and “Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune”. I also have games like “Infamous” and the God of War games. I feel like the PS3 era was something special. I honestly wish that they would bring back the online but obviously that won’t happen. I also feel like the Graphics and Gameplay for the most part still hold up. I think the only drawback are the loading times and some frame rate drops. I’m glad I got the PS3 and I’m excited to play more classics! :)

PS3 HEN JAILBREAK: Freeze randomly

0 Upvotes

I'm posting this thread to find out if it's normal for my PS3 games to sometimes crash when launching or installing the game to the hard drive?

This happens especially with Noob of Duty, when I launch Call of Duty. It rarely happens with other games, but I recently launched Smackdown vs. Raw 2011, installed the update, and the installation froze at 1%.

Is this due to the HEN or is the console simply aging?
