To be honest, this is what I've needed right now. I've got about 60 PS3s but I've been afraid of failure instead of accepting that it'll probably happen and it's not a big deal. I'm actually an electronic repair technician myself too! (though we've got a machine to do fine pitch BGAs) Cheers for the vid Felix!
27:50 ❤ You made me buy my CECHC. I got a perfect, unopened unit with only 35 days on the clock for 150 Euros. Thanks to you, I got interested in the topic. Great content. I'm a technician at a laptop company myself, handling power jacks, BIOS chips, and some minor trace repairs. I also have a BGA table and a few successful CPU transplants under my belt. Now I know for sure that I'll be ordering some dead PS3 boards and will try to make a Frankenstein. One beer on me
Aswesome! I hope your attempt goes well and you enjoy it for a long time to come. Thanks for coin, I greatly apreacite the generosity and am humbled by it.
@@ripfelix3020hey dude! Any plans for ps3 “mod” on hdd? Since OS on Ps3 accepts only mbr, it means there is huge limitations on hdd capacity. As i understood it has limit(what can be accesed/shown by ps3 its a 1.73Tb which is super bad, bc even on original xbox / ps2 there is hacks which grants to use 2-4TB storage with no issue). Any thoughts? Cheers!😊
you know that you are building a huge reputation as a technician right? if you open a shop like right now, there will be no lack of customers because of your dedication and hard work. keep going man, keep going up.
Well, if my career falls through I may have to. Assuming the market doesn't dry up for these. Which I definitely expect to happen eventually. Right now I'm just enjoying the challenge and creative outlet as a hobby.
@@omegamogHey, sorry just seeing this. In the South East US. I do plan on offering a send in service once I get more equipment in stock and a little more experience. I can give you my discord if you’d like. Just let me know.
@@matt.108 is it true that if you Frank out a phat that it has to stay on a certain update version and therefore won't be able to connect to the Internet?
What a cool project! Glad to see my own comment at 27:04. I'm currently working on a video about my first Frankenstein mod attempt. After seeing your editing, I feel like my own video is embarrassingly bad. As usual, can't wait to see your next new invention!
Man, I loved your last few videos. Especially that line about your wallet was drained and to recharge it we can use that button down below! Haha...genius. Made me laugh. UR doing fine. I'm feeding off your progress too. Keep it up man.
I collect computer equipment (everything from the 90s to 2010), and I've suffered so many times with Murphy's Law, I've even thrown things in the trash after spending a thousand bucks, other times I've abandoned the project for years until I had the courage to get back to working on it. Nowadays I'm a little more used to these beatings that life gives me, and I even find it strange when everything works out.
Thanks for being real, for sharing your story, for not letting challenges defeat you. This is very motivating in a world that's currently filled with people only showing success stories - not how they got there and what happened in between. Enjoy this victory of yours, you've earned it. I hope you'll share whatever else you'll be making in the future.
I honestly am not sure if I'll ever top this video. I will try to improve and find a compelling narrative in the process of repairing consoles, but what actuallt happens doesn't always line up with what would make for the best story. This channel isn't fiction, so I'm at the mercy of each console. Some repair too easily and dont make for a good video. I have to find something else to do to fill it out. Preferrably something different than I've done before. Other times there's no resolution because I can't figure out what's wrong or it failed catastrophically. This is a luxury fiction has that I don't.
Knowing everything we know today about the original PS3, and having a base understanding of what it takes to make a bulletproof (well as much as can be created) bc PS3 I would just buy one already done if you sold them. Nice work.
Studio Halabi sells frankie modded systems on his shop. They’re really expensive though given all the work done, but probably worth biting if you are just a collector who doesn’t want to deal with all the fuckery required to keep these systems running
Since I first watched your initial doc video I am constantly day dreaming about how the hell I'm going to make my own BGA setup. Due to lack of money and time I doubt it will happen but knowing there is a way to fix these PS3's makes me feel better about retro game preservation in general. You are a hero in my eyes.
You're getting better and better at this, great video ! 😁 A game on PS3 that I highly recommend if you're looking for an emotionally impactful (and unique) experience is NieR. The PS3 version lacks some content compared to the PS4 remaster/remake due to budget constraints, but it's still an unforgettable journey.
I'm just a curious enthusiast and my level of soldering is peaked at SMD transistors. In fact I fixed Sega MEGA-CD access LED that just had a failed transistor. So yeah, my skills are bound to this generation of consoles. Seeing this is like a kid watching Penn and Teller on TV - Pure magic.
Congratulation. Eversince I heard of PS3 frankenstaion I considered it as most dificult console mod. You deserve huge credit for pushing this technique forward. Huge respect. I recently came out to conclusion that my early attempt to solder need to stop due to my sight. This masterpiece. Salute
What a fantastic video RIP Felix! You are accelerating in quality and it’s really a good time watching your videos. I finally did what I should have done a long time ago, and subscribed to your channel. Games is absolutely an escape, along with movies, tv-shows and books. I don’t have the easiest life so I use all to get some breathing room from the daily stress. You are awesome, thanks for making these videos.
Such an incredible build! As someone who grew up with PS3 it’s been so rewarding to learn from all your videos and watch your channel grow. You’ve definitely given me the motivation to fix my old CECHC (which sadly is the earliest available backwards compatible PS3 available in the UK) and my worthless but very sentimental CECHM revision. Even though it doesn’t make financial sense, the effort you’ve put into preserving, understanding and improving these 15 year old machines is really cherished by us all so thank you for all these videos (especially the editing). Thanks again and looking forward to all future videos!
Mother of god! You're amazing, you blew my mind. And you gave me the motivation to sit down with my consoles. I have 7 unfinished CECHC/CECHE (COK-002) units, and after some complications, they've been sitting untouched for 3-4 months. Thanks!
Remember there's a community that loves your work and knows they can rely on your teachings! I have 3 CECHC with ylod, I don't know how to fix them but I'm learning something new every day, step by step, I'll get there. Thank you, Felix.
I'm glad you didn't give up man. You're videos are funny and really informative. Additionally, the research you're doing is amazing. You're contribution to understanding and repairing PS3s is invaluable.
This is so cool!! I can't belive that this was what we were getting behind the curtain! Awesome work Felix! While I dont think I can Franken my own consoles, you inspierd me to work on my Dreamcast and CD-i to do realibibity mods. Thanks for your work, and keep being the Doktor!! ❤
you have combined information with comedy and humanity. Sincerely and hands down all the research work you have done is not only appreciated but most of all esteemed for you for all those who have collaborated on the scene. As a great lover and enthusiast of this BC model since 201X I confess you have rekindled my child self like few, literally....

I will never stop thanking you for everything you put into creating something better in terms of quality of device given at launch. A small thought from a stranger who madly loves this project!

Thank you for existing too! Very generous. I greatly appreciate it. I hope people get more out of the videos than dry technical knowlege. I can't always make the project fit a good naritve tho, so it's fun when a project's story arc lines up with one.
Phenomenal commitment to what is undoubtedly one of the best and most mysterious gaming consoles ever built. I really hope someone from Sony sees this and understands what attracts people to persevere to bring one of the greatest consoles of time (with backwards compatibility) so they can enjoy the entire catalogue of games. I love these videos. Well done sir.
Great overview of the mod, at first this gave me bane vibes (from batman and robin). Excellent top 10 list too, hope you got that journey collection disc.
I laughed and i cried. What an eye opening journey. You are destined for greatness. Gonna rewatch this soon and take some notes, i really have to work on my mindset. But this vid...just wow, awesome work. Chapeau 👏👏👏
Man my head always hurts after watching your videos 😂. But I was one of the dummy’s who drilled holes into his shell back in the day 🤦♂️ I learned then it was a bad idea. Frankie looks amazing and what a lot of work you put in to him! Bravo sir BRAVO!!
Excellent video enjoyed it very much. Can see the quality & pride in your work and achievement it is well worth it and thank you for showing us both the successes and failures they are all worth the time and effort for those of us seeking to fallow in your footsteps. THANK YOU!!! and NEVER GIVE UP words so true for any part of our adventure call life
this has been awesome seeing your content and the channel grow, you have been very thorough and informative, love seeing and learning throughout your journey
Thanks for everything rip felix i was 2step from fixing my ps3 but sometime everything can go wrong keep going you made me love this encredible machine even rn i dont have ps3 rn i still enjoy your videos you are the best guy i know fixing ps3 ❤️❤️❤️ NEVER - GIVE - UP ✊️
Keep up your doing amazing work and the game you showed off you made me interested in getting them. I’m playing them. I love the PS3, especially the backwards compatible ones.
Alternate intro music: T2 Teaser showing Model 101 modeling... This is so insane! Can't believe how much dedication someone is willing to put into 18 year old hardware. Nobody ever does this for their PC graphics cards or any other game hardware.
Thank you SO MUCH for leaving all the tribulations into the video! So many show only the successful attempts. This video is great as it's what every beginner went through!
Wow, thanks so much! I tried to structure it so it wouldn't be too boring. The first section about the frankenstein mod I worried was too technical for casual viewers. I hoped the intro hook would convince people to stick around long enough to see the pay off. And I hoped I provided enough high level explanation so people could understand the purpose of each mod, even if they don't understand the techical details of how/why it works. Heck, I still don't for much of it. I feel like that section and the comparisons later are the most boring of the video. So I tried my best to make it visually attractive and engauging. I was really curious to see how people would react to those sections.
An A model with the RSX from the slim is the best PS3. It's not a monster it's a thing of beauty. And those Tokin replacement boards look so good. Great work man. You're the GOAT of PS3 repair.
That's actually why frankenstein is the perfect allegory for this mod. Dr. Frankenstein (humanity) was the real monster, and the "monster" was the sympathetic herine driven to anger in response to his being rejected. We demonize the launch model and sony for selling us a decective console, but in reality it was a flawed thing of beauty. And modders set it their goal to remedy the situation by imitating sony's own rectifying retrofit. The monster is the Redemption story and Dr frankenstein/humanity's flaws/bias the cautionaly tale. Sorry for spelling out the metaphores. They're more fun when you realize them for yourself.
it was thanks to drunkily stumbling into your videos i finally was able to find out what was wrong with my 60gb ps3 i had in the cuboard for 9 years dead, i now know how to syscon thanks to you :) and an extra i was able to get better at soldering too =], im not ready to do a frankie or tokien replace yet but i know if i need to know i can rewatch your videos for confidence and guide :)
Great work on the video. Clear instructions but still thoroughly entertaining. I wish I had your skills. I have repaired many computers phones cars appliances you name it. But this is complete mad science.
"They called me mad! Insane! WENDELL! [...]I had no choice but to flee here to conduct my research! Well, who's crazy now, hmmmm?! Who's mad now?! Hmmmmmmmm?!" (Dr. Mystico voiced by Tim Curry, Freakazoid)
Focusing on making this video has distracted me from it all summer and gave me an outlet for constructive coping. I'm glad watching it gave you some reprieve as well. Thanks for watching and commenting. I really enjoy hearing how the videos help people.
Great video, appreciate people who show when things go wrong with this complex mod, helps me learn about the process and build a little confidence in my own skills. Maybe some day ill be able to fix the 3034 A01 I have that's being kept alive by heatsink clamp pressure. I'd love to see how dark souls or dark souls 2 handle an overclock. Especially blighttown in the original, which runs terribly on both Xbox 360 and ps3. They're also just, really good games that offer something unique and satisfying compared to everything else on the market.
I hear alot of people like those games. I've never played them myself. Maybe I can find a save from the location and test. I'm not sure if they are my type of game to play through tho. Seems a bit more violent/demonic for my taste. No judging tho. Taste is subjective.
Yeah, it looks super unique! I love the art style and have been getting more and more interested in japanese culture. Not that I know much, but still. New experiances and all that.
Awesome? I hope you guys are enjoying the ps3 library and getting your money's worth. I don't want to be the reason you bought an expensive console that sux...lol.
1440p 60fps, there are 2 Hatsune Miku games on PS3 that actually run at 1440p but at 30fps. iirc are the Project DIVA ones. the older Hatsune Mikus run at 576p 😂
To be honest, this is what I've needed right now. I've got about 60 PS3s but I've been afraid of failure instead of accepting that it'll probably happen and it's not a big deal. I'm actually an electronic repair technician myself too! (though we've got a machine to do fine pitch BGAs) Cheers for the vid Felix!
60 PS3s LMAO what??? Thats like 500 lbs of PS3
As long as you can pull off replacing the RSX's, you should be good. There's a lot of money to be made with 60 PS3's.

Excellent work! Not everyone can pull that off. Can confirm with Portal 2. That game got me through some rough times.
Impressive! You inspire me to try the frankenstein mod myself. It is hard to find dead PS3s tho.

The genuine GOAT of PS3s
After clicking around videos not being able to watch more than 2 mins of each came upon this one and watched it all the way through 👍
Wow, thanks so much! I tried to structure it so it wouldn't be too boring. The first section about the frankenstein mod I worried was too technical for casual viewers. I hoped the intro hook would convince people to stick around long enough to see the pay off. And I hoped I provided enough high level explanation so people could understand the purpose of each mod, even if they don't understand the techical details of how/why it works. Heck, I still don't for much of it.
I feel like that section and the comparisons later are the most boring of the video. So I tried my best to make it visually attractive and engauging. I was really curious to see how people would react to those sections.

You are truly a genius. I hope you continue discovering Sony's secrets
This video is a madness 😂 what the ps3 fat does to anyone.. We will always love this console.. Forever lives ps3
Dear mr. Felix
You are awesome, never forget it.....
Regards
😂👍🇬🇧
terrific work and video. Keep going!
I'm always so excited for new videos of yours.
Great work on the video. Clear instructions but still thoroughly entertaining. I wish I had your skills. I have repaired many computers phones cars appliances you name it. But this is complete mad science.

Absolutely Amazing Video Mr.Felix!!!!!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Incredible work and perseverance, dude! Awesome video, too. Thank. you so much!
For 50 minutes I forgot about my life being turned upside down
Focusing on making this video has distracted me from it all summer and gave me an outlet for constructive coping. I'm glad watching it gave you some reprieve as well. Thanks for watching and commenting. I really enjoy hearing how the videos help people.
Love this content man long live the ps3 phat
Extraordinary experiment, I'm delighted! ;-)
Pure insanity. Excellent video
Amazing! Dreaming of learning that skill sets and have that tyoe of equipment.
Love your vids! So much effort and work put into them! Keep it up 💪
Great video, appreciate people who show when things go wrong with this complex mod, helps me learn about the process and build a little confidence in my own skills. Maybe some day ill be able to fix the 3034 A01 I have that's being kept alive by heatsink clamp pressure.
I'd love to see how dark souls or dark souls 2 handle an overclock. Especially blighttown in the original, which runs terribly on both Xbox 360 and ps3. They're also just, really good games that offer something unique and satisfying compared to everything else on the market.
I hear alot of people like those games. I've never played them myself. Maybe I can find a save from the location and test. I'm not sure if they are my type of game to play through tho. Seems a bit more violent/demonic for my taste. No judging tho. Taste is subjective.
Awesome bro, I'm really happy for you 👍❤
Thanks RIP Felix! I hope you enjoy Okami, I loved that game.
Yeah, it looks super unique! I love the art style and have been getting more and more interested in japanese culture. Not that I know much, but still. New experiances and all that.
Amazing video once again, you're the reason me and my friend got ourself a frankenstein console made. keep inspiring us!
Awesome? I hope you guys are enjoying the ps3 library and getting your money's worth. I don't want to be the reason you bought an expensive console that sux...lol.
@@ripfelix3020They were both cheap ylod cecha's from Japan that got saved and are awesome now, all good man!
That's a very cool game list. Btw, the fl0w actually runs at 2560x1440p internally. Yep, there is a 1440p game on PS3. Take that 360!
1440p 60fps, there are 2 Hatsune Miku games on PS3 that actually run at 1440p but at 30fps. iirc are the Project DIVA ones.
the older Hatsune Mikus run at 576p 😂
I still stand on 10 toes he deserves a lot of subs ❤❤❤ that ps3 though looks sick love it
