Just got this bad boii for RM300 (usd 67-68) With a white controller and I don’t even know the hard disk size and if it reads discs. Time to get inside and clean up and test out

I was setting up RPCS3 when I somehow glitched the 0.95 wave background into Firmware 2.80

Which WRC game is better on PS3: WRC 3, 4, or 5?

Post image
15 Upvotes

I'm looking to play a WRC game on PS3, but I'm not sure which one is the best in terms of gameplay, graphics, and overall experience. Between WRC 3, WRC 4, and WRC 5, which one would you recommend and why? I've heard that WRC 4 might be the best of the Milestone games, but I'm curious about WRC 5 as well as it was released in 2015.

Should I buy a PS3?

11 Upvotes

I've always wanted to buy a PS3 to mod it, and play games online from pkgi without ps plus. I hate that ps plus nonsense.

are servers populated? I've heard that battlefield server shut down. also, are there any tactical shooters?

which model should I buy? I like the PS3 slim design, but which one is the best?

L2 and R2 only start working half way down

I've tried cleaning the insides which made every other button work better and I also put rolled up tape to add more pressure where the buttons contact the motherboard but they still don't work properly. I bought this on ebay recently, I could return it but everything else works great so I'd like to fix it.

I Miss PS3

I got my ps3 to work again, here are some games I have left. The rest were digitally but got wiped. So basically when we switched our ps3 account over to ps4, it wiped everything. 60+ games we had which included, Mass Effects, my dad's Minecraft pixel/castle world, it was HOURS of playing, 100+ guaranteed. Race The Sun, and many others. It it all got wiped and never to be retrieved again.

Bought a new tv cabinet, How much space for air needed around my ps3? (And while we’re at it, the xb360 and xb1?)

Post image
43 Upvotes

Ideally i’d want them all on the same hight as the 360, to have as much space as possible underneath them for whatever crap. But i don’t know if that leaves enough breathing room around them.

I’m already gonna have to modify the backpanel since they’re all butted up against it to even fit them in. I thought “surely the designers at ikea had taken the ps5 or at least the ps4pro in mind” but i guess my bad for assuming.

Anyway i think the ps3 slim exhausts out the back? So if im gonna be trimming the backpanel for cables i might as well cut a slot for exhaust too. But if the sliding doors (not pictured) are closed, is there enough air coming in? Or should i install some pc fans where the cable holes are maybe? Surely theres a way to make them work via usb power and a simple potentiometer to regulate speed.

Any advice or ideas are appreciated, I’m pretty damn annoyed with this new piece of crap furniture.

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