>>736784139I've been mostly playing games on Steam recently, but I'm going to go back to Infamous and Drakengard 3 sometime soon. They were pretty cash from what I played of them a couple months ago.>>736784494It's not 2006 bro. The PS3 was a better console to choose than the 360 as soon as 2008 rolled by.
>>736784139Balcbreaker and Spider Man Shattered Time or whatever the fuck it's called
I miss my old PS3. It was one of the OG ones, the 60 GB version with silver trim (unlike the poorfag 20 gig version). I basically gave it to my mom after shifting to PC in 2010 and long story short it's probably gone along with all the games I had for it. At least emulation is coming along nicely.>>736784418 Blew my mind when I first played it. That and Resistance felt like the future. I don't think I've felt such a leap since.>>736784623Don't forget Haze, the HALO KILLER!
>>736784904> That and Resistance felt like the futureThose were my two games I bought day 1 on the launch of the console. Absolutely mindblowing. In fact because I was one of the first X many thousand people to sign up to the PSN in europe sony sent me a blu ray copy of Casino Royale.Shit now that i've got my ps3 hooked to an oled screen I should dust that off an watch it again even if only for the intro animation with the deck of cards.
the tokins on mine have gone bad and I'm putting off trying to fix them since it looks really easy to mess up
GT5 is great hot lapping Nürb night. Load times are the only issue pretty much, I don't mind the PS2 cars
My PS3 slim suddenly froze while playing one day and gave me the 3 beeps of death, refusing to boot up. No console I've ever owned has broken down like this before. What a piece of garbage.
I've not looked into it but if there was a way of transferring my legit saves and whatnot over to a CFW install I would, but I doubt that is possible.
Speaking of motorstorm that has the loudest fucking music ever when selected in the XMB.
>>736784169>jailbrokeI hate that this became the synonym for hack.
>>736784139My PS3 no longer wants to turn on. I tried everything, but only thing that works is the CD button and all it does is say beep-beep at me and then nothing.
Disaster Report.I'm also trying to install Silent Hill 2 Director's Cut as a .pkg because I can't get the encrypted ISO to work with the placeholder. It just keeps booting into Tetris.
>>736784139Going through tales of symphonia right nowother things I would like to play after that>demon's souls>siren blood curse>silent hill downpour>armored core 4apurely for research once in a year I would check out the local fauna in cod lobbies, surprisingly in some games you get into a match in seconds after starting search
>>736784904Fond memories of Haze. It introduced me to Korn because of https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2IssLAON48s which doesn't even sound like a True Korn song (because Jonathan Davis made it entirely by himself lmao) and I made a friend play the whole thing with me, and he's not as exposed to games outside of WoW or CS, so he was like "Bro this story is fucking awesome." even though I was going off internet lore and expecting to hate it.It really is a corny narrative, but when you have a friend who just accepts it and loves it, it turns it into a good time. I still laughed at the "Don't tell my mom!" when you kill the final boss.
>>736784139>tfw no XMB anymoreWhy do frontend """engineers""" only exist to ruin things that are good and well designed? I just don't get it bros, why """fix""" what wasn't broken at all? Both the PS4 and the PS5 are dogshit UI compared to the Triple.
>>736788025pew pew
>>736788086you need to justify the existence of those people hence why the need to always reinvent the wheel instead of just keeping what works and improving it
I wish there was a way to mod back the black xmb without breaking other features of the ui
>>736784169I've got ps2 isos but how do I install them on my PS3?
I still occasionally boot mine up to play twisted metal.
>>736788248>black xmbInstead of letting it change monthly, set the color you want, and I think you want Classic theme/
>>736788296You download a program called ps2classicsgui and select your ISOs and hit "Encrypt". This produces a rom with a ".BIN.ENC" file extension. You then FTP or transfer this to your PS3's harddrive, and play it using Webman and PS3Hen. Once you have that jailbreak it comes with a settings menu that lets you install "PS2 Classics Launcher" and "PS2 Config Database". You just install those two, and then select your encrypted rom file in the PlayStation 2 menu on XMB, and then you can run the PS2 loader app and it launches the game that you sideloaded.
>>736788296>>736788527Alternatively you can also turn them into .pkg (PS3 installation files) after encrypting them, and then you just install them from a USB drive, so they're always loadable instead of manually loading the rom and opening the launcher. I prefer the launcher, because it allows me to have my NTFS drive plugged in with all my encrypted roms, and then I can transfer the ones I'm playing back and forth between the PS3 drive and the USB drive and not have to reinstall/uninstall. Some games also run better if you sideload the rom with the PS2 Launcher than if you install it. I couldn't get MGS2 to register pressure-sensitive inputs as a manually installed game, but it worked once I side-loaded it.
>>736788527What a choreSimply put your isos in the PS2 folder webmam mod creates
>>736787559If you can't fully control a computer then it is jailed
Does anyone trophy hunt with a modded PS3? I was wondering if playing from an .iso can screw up your timestamps because of the increased loading time compared to playing off a disc? Obviously games that have a digital release wouldn't have this, but playing something like Splatterhouse, which never got a PSN release, would make it obvious right?
Nothing lately.Last thing I did was upgrade all my PS3s to 4.93 EvilNat then change them to daylight savings time.
CFW BRO'S GITHUBS WERE REMOVED?!
>>736788527>>736788659See I've gotten this hen modded PS3 as a going away gift from a friend. I've no idea how far along he has in modding it, but I'll follow these steps and see how it goes. I'll give it a gander. Thank you.
>>736789687I did a HEN modded PS3 and the experience is so much worse than CFW. I'm glad all my personal PS3s are CFW-capable.
Tell me anons - what theme should I pick?
>>736789751Outside of the Hen Logo ive no idea how to utilize this damn thing.
>>736789793God I love these early 2000s metallic watery themes.
>>736784261Is there a way to use your desktop like this?Big Picture sucks ass, Retroarch doesn't launch anything that's not emulation, Rainmeter feels sketchy as fuck and desn't support controller.You anons had any luck?
>>736789793Go for wipeout, that theme was my childhood.
>>736789985>>736790226Took a few pics of some of the ones i've got on there. Quality not guaranteed.
>>736787706sorry to hear mate
Alienware theme for the alienware screen I use these days.
I actually lurk /wg/ for suitably high res wallpapers in this style for my pc. The calendar may not say 200X these days but bah god my computer can attempt to look like it does.
Last one.
>>736788296Use multiman to copy them from your drive or whatever and into the GAMES folder, there's a separate one for each type, if you've already backed up a ps2 game you just gotta find that folder, it should have the ISO in it then you just add them into that folder, PS3 can only read fat32 drives at first but there's another file manager that reads NTFS, I think its called IRISMAN but I'm not sure
>>736784261XMB is great it just sorely needed a way to manually organize games into folders. I have to scroll through like 80 fucking games on my PS3 to find what I want to play.
>>736790757Have you not used the Album function?
>just got the GLOD on my CECHA0AAFuck this piece of shit console>inb4 slim PS3I have one but I want the fat's backwards compatibility.>inb4 PS2Yeah I have that too, it still works perfectly unlike the Piss3.
>>736791543My CECHA01 is an OEM "frankie".
>>736789801The only reason why you'd touch HEN is if you're only interested in pirating PS3 games and you don't have a hackable PS3.
I have a fat CFW (non BC) PS3 that I haven't used in like 8 years. It was console banned from accessing the internet and I used to have to purchase new Console IDs or whatever to get on PSN- is there a work around for this now?
>>736789801You can use any drive, even NTFS, and create a folder called PS3ISO on its root. Then you just dump in PS3 iso files in that folder, and you can play them off the drive directly, by mounting them like discs.Once you've put them on the drive, you have to connect it to the PS3, start PS3Hen, and then enter Webman Setup and select something called "PrepISO" (which you also download from the Webman menu somewhere). If it clears correctly then it reboots the XMB with a list of games found in the PS3ISO folder, and now you can simply mount them on the fly, and play anything you put there.But if you get your ISOs from Redump (from Myrient in the past, or Minerva) then you need to decrypt them first. RPCS3 can play them without this, but your PS3 won't load them if you don't decrypt them. You can download PS3 Redump keys from many sites, and then you have to use a little .exe tool called "ps3decrypt" where you just drag and drop your ISOs one at a time, and then it outputs the decrypted rom.
>>736790695For NTFS you just use the Webman Setup browser screen, and go to Files. Then it can copy files. Much faster and compatible than Irisman or Multiman if you use NTFS. I had a hiccup though. My drive was GPT partitioned. It has to be MBR, so I had to reformat it, which was a right pain.
>>736789793If there was one good thing about FFXIII it was that trophies unlocked themes for the console. More games should've done things like that
I've been playing AC For Answer, trying to clear some hard mode missions and figuring out a way to beat the final mission of the genocidal ending. I'm on heavy copium that the upgrade points you get for doing hard mode maps will make a difference
can you go online with jailbroken ps3 slim?
I plugged my slim in after more than a decade to add cfw and it died almost immediately. I really should've cleaned it first.What does a used one run nowadays?
>>736784261>create the perfect UI>ditch it completely because CHANGEI will never fucking understand.
>>736784418I'm at one of the last few tickets and that one race where you have to use a mud plugger just like everyone else is fucking impossible.
>>736784139Ive been emulating sengoku basara samurai heroes, it's ______________fun
>>736785941>>736787706This is sadness. My fat PS2 is still rolling with decades old HDD
Lol mw2 on the ps3 was totally filled with hackers somehow. Like it actually public games, during mw2s prime it didn’t really have any hackers. They really did some impressive hacking and change like everything about the level, it looked like a totally different game. They cheated with kills too annoyingly, so it was kinda unplayable.
>>736791725>>736791870Duly noted. I won't be able to do -any- of this stuff since I leave for basic tomorrow but once I'm at my duty station I can, so I'll screenshot this and come back in... Six, seven months.
>>736788516Your post doesn't make much sense>Instead of letting it change monthly, set the color you wantYes, i know i can set the background color. The problem is that the color that i want is not an option>and I think you want Classic themeThe ps3 lets you change the wave to it's classic appearence. But all it does is remove the sparkles that were added as the default later on
>>736784405>pick upYou know you can get PS3 games for free, like right now?
Goddamn, even the PSP emulation is great on PS3. I'm playing a fan-translation of Disaster Report 3 on it.
Arkham seriesGta IV + episodesMax Payne 3Splinter Cell: BlacklistSkate. seriesOn top of my mindI also own Mgs4 but I have only played thru it once some year ago even if I watched what it was about since it was released. Didn't work for me
>>736790757For your XMB play menu games (which is most of mine): Highlight the game and push triangle. In the menu that comes up there's some bank called 'information' or 'tag' or something. It's filled with a ' - ' hyphen by default. Replace that with 'a' for alien 'd' for dead space, etc. Now your games are alphabetized into folders. Or you can organize them by genre or whatever but I like alphabetical order.purple XMB squad represent
I wonder if there will come a time when Homebrewers make 3D games for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.
>>736794359While I'm ITT: Install Unreal Tournament 3 and then install the PKG that upgrades it to 2.0 edition with a different title screen. THIS VERSION HAS THE MOD IMPORT FUNCTION FROM THE PC VERSIONhttps://archive.org/details/ut3ps3modarchive^Then install these mods and play against bots. Pretty much the closest you can get to a PC experience on any console. All kinds of retro maps, quake maps, halo maps, weird weapons and modes and shit.
>>736794757Fuck I'm going to play it now. Haven't touched it in years but I have maps with like twenty warthogs from halo fighting in a giant spaceship, wild west trains, all kinds of fun shit. Hugely underrated game and the only one I know of with true mod functionality on a console
>fat ps3 is broken>slim can't be piratedfeels bad man
I started using my PS3 with component cables instead of HDMI because I honestly just give up dealing with this system's shitty HDCP. It's kind of funny because when the resolution is set to 480i 16:9 a bunch of XMB interface elements start breaking, and I'm wondering if they either just never tested all the UI options properly or if it broke with some system update and nobody gave a shit or even noticed. 480i 4:3 works fine.
>>736795027Your slim can't be pirated? What?
>>736795319supposedly rocksmith is a lot better on component because of HDMI audio delay but I can't be arsed to switch cables for a single game
>>736784139I recently played 'opening my PS3 up and applying fresh thermal paste to the CPU'.
>>736794546Doesn't a lot of the development shit into everything being Unreal engine towards the end of those the timelines of those consoles so in theory it would be easier but also kind of moot point.
>>736789615It's over...
>>736795828*shift, no shit lol. using unreal engine doesn't make anything shit by default, even if it can feel that way going further
>>736795875I keep wondering if it's just the devs being shit that makes UE4 games have a certain plastic look to them or if it's actually the engine at fault
>>736795381Last time I checked some late slim models wouldn't allow you to install cfw.I'd love to be wrong about it though.
>>736784405I luv my PS3 but I never cared for Gran Turismo, especially the PS3 ones. Crap chase camera, crap sense of speed, insanely grindy (especially GT5, fuck that game). I recommend Racedriver GRID if you haven't played it
>>736795027>>736796709Bro just install HEN. That already gives you access to 99% of the homebrew apps you would ever need
whats the most demanding game on ps3 besides naughty dog games or god of war games?
>>736795969The "fault" of the engine is that the entry barrier seems to be low and it has all the companies need to print "AAA" games that look exactly like each other. (And these games still take 5 years to make and cost 1 billion to produce :D.) I'm fairly sure you can absolutely make any kind of game in the world with UE, just no need to. Also no need to optimize anything because you can just cut on costs by not hiring people who can optimize and transfer the cost to people needing to buy better hardware. This is kind of awkward on consoles tho because people can't upgrade them like pc.
>>736797154Fuck didn't even know about this, thanks anon, seems pretty easy to do as well.
>>736797059GT games seem to me just be about holding down X for 50 hours and micromanaging when you brake or turn. I played I think GT3 on ps2 and I liked doing the short 30 second tutorial parts to get driver licenses because they are short burst to test/develop your skills. Then I went to my first race and I realized how much I would have to just hold down X and just quit.
>>736797197How demanding is god of war because it allows (forces) you to play it directly from disc.
>>736797375god of war 3 was a struggle to run at 4k 60fps in rpcs3 unless you had top of the line specs. meanwhile the tales games run on toasters even at 4k.
>>736797197Sonic unleashed basically had PS5 graphics.
>>736797581I had the demo on 360 and the graphics did look very nice
>>736797375>>736797579Ps. I remembered God of war 3 doesn't allow you to skip cutscenes either way so I guess that's why there's less need to install it on hdd/ssd so you just don't, but dunno. This probably has nothing to do with how demanding running the game is actually
>>736797320Should've turned off easy mode
>>736784261Can't get over how good it still is
>>736797958But I put it on the realistic difficulty and took out most of the assists to challenge myself in the driving license tests (some of the tests take out assist too). I just lost all interest in the first race I entered
>>736793258Each track has an optimal path for a vehicle class and even for the heavier vehicles it might not be the route you think. Like the grizzly for example (especially as that is the most used track) the optimal route is from the start (remember it doesn't start at the stat/finish line)take right and go up the ramp, follow that along over the two bridges, dive under the rock arch at the hard left. stay to the left of the pylon but go right between the car wrecks. Take a sharp left off the big jump so you can go through the left side route through the canyon bit and then drop down where the left path that crosses over is that all the bikes and ATVs take.That route is fastest for every class.
>>736798348Can someone sell me on the killzone series because I often see those on sale but they look pretty generic fps games to me. Also does kz3 require the original ps3 controller axis move thing because it's mentioned briefly in wikipedia?There are a couple games I know of which can't be completed without the axis move so Heavy Rain is an obvious one and I think Spiderman 3 movie game requires the move thing in the very end?
>>736784418I only ever played the second one and I fucking loved it. Shame basically all the unlocks are tied to its dead online though.Also isn't there something fucking with buying the DLC in the first game? Like you have to download it from an in-game menu but it doesn't work anymore.
>>736798770You can play KZ3 with any controller since you can turn off motion controls, you can't turn them off for KZ2 so you need the sixaxis one for that
>>736798542TiresThe feeling of "I could've died there" is a lot of fun
>>736798962>Shame basically all the unlocks are tied to its dead online though.They aren't - they are tied to your festival rank and a few trophy challenges. Pic taken on a real ps3 since PR supports a photo mode.
>>736784139Dante's inferno and twisted metal 2012. Sister keeps borrowing it to play MK 2011. Really happy my friend gave me the ps3.
Playing PS2 kino for the first time since I sold my console in 2005. I could cry. I hyped this game up like there was no tomorrow back in the day.
>>736784261back when designers and companies actually gave a fuck about the product they made, now the ui not only looks like shit, its also using 10x more resources and is slow as fuck
>>736799993I'll never forgive steam for killing --no-browser and --minigames launch options list in favor of going electron shit for te entire client
>>7367997946th gen Bond games are kino, I used Agent Under Fire to softmod my PS2 like 15 years ago
>>736799004Nice
my ps3 died recently :(it just beeps 3 times and flashes the power light
>>736800250Clean all the cat hair cigarette tar out of it.
>>736799004I read that og kz3 on ps3 requires a patch but you can also just buy the goty version (which I do with all ps3 games anyway if possible). It should be patchable tho because ps3 servers are still online for all I know
Can you make an Unreal 3 Game for the PS3?
Looking at my ps3 collection these days I realise how few of the games I own I would want to actually play on the ps3 itself. Fair enough the exclusives (or just console exclusives) are nice on OG hardware for the memories but the multiplat titles I am much better off throwing at my modern PC. Unlike prior console generations where muh crt is a reasonable enough excuse really the 7th gen stuff was aimed at flat panels so playing NFS Prostreet at 4k and all of the fps vs 720p on a good day and 30fps isn't a contest.I won't get rid of my ps3 make no mistake but unless I go hit up the likes of ebay for games I didn't play 15 years ago it won't see much use (honestly if I had wanted to play a given game I could've just bought it as unlike many anons here I was a working adult when the ps3 launched).
>>736800853I will admit, I was a 360 kid back in 2007. The PS3 just never had anything I wanted to play, until years later when I saw footage of Demon's Soul's. Of all the games in all the consoles. That is one of the few that made me want to play it. Just like X-Blades, or Heavenly Sword.
>>736800783Seems like it and I post this knowing someone will get furious I googled the question
>>736787559Its a more suitable term. Hack is a general term and could mean any kind of quirky way of handling a computer task. It was silly that "hack" became a synonym for gaining admin access to your own gaming console
>>736801986Maybe when I get out of the military I can make my Zodiak-themed Action-Adventure hack and slash in UE3. PS3/X360/PC release.
>>736794872Arma reforger has mod support on consoles
>>736802352Well yeah you obviously can make it because that's what the engine was kind of designed for, kind of wondering why other than it would obviously be cool to see the ps3 run something you have made. The bigger audience is obviously people with low end computers who might like a game that should run on a potato
>>736784139Just got finished with the Holy Trinity of Ace Combat using a PS3 flightstick (which works perfectly since the PS3 takes USB controllers directly unlike shitty PS4)>>736791597Nice, anon.
My version of demon's soul's is the black phantom edition with the little guidebook. Pretty neat.
>>736802352...especially if your game has something retro looking in it and I just say retro looking but we know UE3 era games are not considered retro here yet
>>736802676If I'm going to make a video game, I want it to be able to be enjoyed by everyone. Make it stable for Windows XP, 7, 8, 10, and even 11. Linux. Playstation 3, and Xbox 360.Anyone who wants to play it on their Series X or PS5 can wait or get a PC.>>736802747It will have a look similar too... Well something like this. Give it that dreamlike quality. Stylized, not necessarily realistic. Not everyone needs to see every pore on the player character's left buttcheek.
>>736784623>Mgs4Kek not for long
>>736784856Gears 1 and 2 where legitimately good games. PS3 had..mgs4. okay.
>>736800853For me it's the exact opposite. I don't see the point in collecting for PS2 cause I feel like it's a hassle, I would have to get a CRT or deal with playing at 4:3 with black bars on a flatscreen which looks ugly as hell, have to deal with crap resolutions or spend a ton of money on an upscaler, have to deal with memory cards, etc. If you go back to the PS1 era and prior it's even worse for collecting, especially since I live in EU I would have to go out of my way to import NTSC consoles and games because PAL versions literally all ran in slow motion at 70% speed. And the emulators for those consoles work perfectly at this point, even having some nice features like widescreen patchesMeanwhile 7th gen is at that spot where emulation is still crap for most games, and PC ports aren't great like they were for games during the PS4 era. Pretty much every time you gotta read up pcgamingwiki to fix a bunch of shit before you can even start playing, often you need some workaround to get your controller working, or there's issues on specific hardware, etc. I still do end up playing games from 7th gen on PC, but sometimes I just wanna fire up my 360 or PS3 and start playing right away
>>736803098I dunno about 2 but Gears 1 was dogshit cover based tps that Uncharted blows away
>>736787706Damn, I would want to check it out. I have the USB to serial port cable and can solder connections from the motherboard to diagnose what's wrong. If it's an older system it's probably the GPU but the reason I started doing it is because people were misdiagnosing problems.
>mfw unpatched midnight club LAPeople who talk about rubberbanding in the NFS underground games or how hard midnight club 2 is don't know what the fuck they are talking about. It doesn't help that most people who have played LA played it patched as the first patch explicitly nerfed it.See also: how wipeout HD was straight up impossible for a huge amount of players to beat until they changed how the time trial events worked.
>>736791543Blame njudea for that. The GPU was ultimately made with defective materials that while didn't overheat easy, it worsened over time from the properties of thermal expansion. It's not even from the BGA soldering between the motherboard and GPU but directly on the processor die and GPU housing, so inevitably the GPU has to be replaced. Yet njudea couldn't be bothered to issue a recall, it was totally on Jenson then. Maybe Sony could have taken the fall and issued one but it's really on Jenson
>>736804059No console manufacturer except nintendo has ever worked with nvidia more than once.
I don't have my fat launch PS3 anymore, idk what even happened to it, gave it to my sister over a decade ago. I still got my copy of talladega nights that came with it though.Honestly I am thinking about getting a used PS3 just to play older games even if I have most of them on steam, I'd like to get the trophies I missed on a lot of the older games I got. Also, there's still some multiplat games that never got ported to PS4 / 5 that are stuck on PS3, Deus Ex HR for example. Yeah, I could play it on PC which I have it on, but I kind of want to play it on PS3 which I never did just to get all the trophies
I was sort of slightly disappointed with the ps3 library at the time, as a dirty old weeb it was mostly a disgaea machine, kek. I should clean my old console out, assembling my own computer doesn't scare me but something about disassembling delicate old tech they didn't really want you pulling apart sort of spooks me.
what PS3 game shall I play today, PS3bros?
