A few tips if you're attempting to do this. 1. Many PS2 games will require configs from Aldo's Tools to work properly so its best to check if your game has a config available... or better yet, an HD remaster available like the Jak collection. 80% of the PS2 library is considered playable on PS3, just don't forget the configs. 2. Most people use BIN/CUE for PS1 games but it's better install them as PS1Classics because the PS3 will use the netemu emulator which is better than the disc emulator. Converting them into PKGs using POP-FE will ensure 99% compatibility with zero issues + disc swapping. 3. I would discourage to play PSP games on your PS3, most of them are too buggy. If there are any you want, check out on youtube to see if anyone got it up and running good before you waste your time. Also, don't forget there are differences between the PSP minis and remasters, some games may only work with 1.
Di you have any advice for ps3 and getting DLC content for games like new characters maps? Since alot of stuff has been updated we cannot update games for fear of being banned. Is there a way to unlock additional characters in games or stuff like that was meant to be bought?
0:57 not necessarily the case, it only dropped PS2 support as only specific PS3 models had the hardware to run PS2 Games. All PS3 models can play PS1 games, even the super slim consoles.
I knew all this i just like the ps3 modding ear still have my same one for 13 years i clean every often and redo thermal paste still runs smooth and not even noisy
Compatability is an issue tho pc emulation is my go too these days my actual consoles are purely for display I have 2x ps3 1x hen moded and the other has custom firmware tho a worthwhile upgrade tho the phat models are getting rare due to there age and will likely yellow light on u eventually. People pay silly money for the backwards compatable ones og 60gb cech-aXX. If u have one of these and don't collect. Sell it there worth a fair amount to collectors
@@BytesNBits i wanted to know that there are some iso files which need to be installed before playing and there are some which does not require installation, it plays directly just by mounting. So, how should we know which iso is which.
@@iamyashrajps3 and ps1 games can be played from an external drive, ps2 (and maybe psp) need to be placed on the internal drive, ps3 games that need installation will still need to be installed, because that's how they were made to work
You need to double check you video, a certain url and name is showing up many times. When you blur the url the tab blad is still showing, same with the url in he left bottom and the ASCII art of the webiste. You need to be more carefull then this. OT: Good tutorial.
@@BytesNBits People are getting a bit too sensitive to the urls etc. EVERYONE already knows, including Sony and they are not stupid. The fact that they are still online now means Sony doesn't care enough to spend time and money trying to shut them down. To the OP and all others getting their panties in a knot... chill dude.
can you swap between multiple drives in the PS3 without it asking to format even if the drive is setup up prior to swapping? So for example one drive has A-to-D games, another one has E-to-I, etc
You can run your PS3 games from NTFS USB drives - see my video. Just swap those over as you need. PS2, PS1 and PSP games have to be on your internal drive I think. I've not tried swapping out the internal drive if that's what you mean, but I doubt if that would work. But give it a go.
looking forward to this watch. ps3 is still sitting there cuz i just haven't been able to work out whats going to be the better system, installing games or just running isos, i also don't know what happens when you do install one, cuz i don't want 7000 games all on the main screen once i get on top of 3 gens of PS collections, but i also don't want it sorted into folders with ugly icons when Coverflow has been a thing for what, 20 years?
Yes, with caveats! Make sure you install webMAN MOD if you intend to use the PlayStation Network. This will help you turn off the custom firmware traces so you don't get caught.
I want to know how to set up an external SSD. The PS3 max outs at 1.5tb and you can't go beyond that. PS1,2 and 3 games can easily take up over 1.5tb of space. I want to know how you can set up external storage with WebMan. I also hear the USB 2 bus is faster than the internal Sata bus.
LOL! Yeah Sony is watching this video and will shut them down simply because it's shown in this vid. What? Are you like 10 years old or something? LOL!
@@verxw74 I don't see it as gatekeeping. The site's not hard to find so need need to put a spotlight on it, and that way people who search are more likely to be rewarded with something other than a dead link.
I have every game from 2000 to 2015 on thousands of disk and 20 hard drives. I have many ps3s and other consoles but too old to keep modding and hacking the new ones
Okay…. so anyone find a way to play Aliens: Colonial Marines??? It used to work for me and then it stopped working one day…. I had to resort to playing it on RPCS3

That's really helpful information. Thanks for sharing.
I just use PKGI @@JzLyfe
Appreciate the video. Got a nice ps3 slim that ive been modding out this christmas break and this guide is quite helpful
Glad I could help
Thanks for the video tutorial; I learned some new things regardless of having done this twice almost 5 years ago
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you its really helpfull
Glad it was useful.
Great Video, packed with useful info. keep up te good work
Thanks.
This explains why PS3 mods need special PS2 game compatibility preventing all kinds of glitches as an example.
Yes. I'm looking at a video on improving PS2 compatibility at the moment.
@@BytesNBits Let me know when you try your best no matter what. Believe in yourself anything is possible.
0:57 not necessarily the case, it only dropped PS2 support as only specific PS3 models had the hardware to run PS2 Games.

Thanks for the update. I hadn't tried PS1 games in the console.
Not all ps2 games are compatible unless you have a backwards model. PSP games are very limited as well.
Yes. I'm finding graphic glitches on a few.
I knew all this i just like the ps3 modding ear still have my same one for 13 years i clean every often and redo thermal paste still runs smooth and not even noisy
They are great consoles. Have fun!

Can you please state how to identify which iso file will directly be played from external hdd or internal hdd without installation
When you highlight a game in the list it will show what system it's for and where it lives on your drives.
@@BytesNBits i wanted to know that there are some iso files which need to be installed before playing and there are some which does not require installation, it plays directly just by mounting. So, how should we know which iso is which.

In this video I use the standard webMAN interface. Better interfaces in the next videos.
Is updating games over the Internet safe to do now? It was risky to do so a decade ago when 3.55 cfw was a thing.

Have a look at this video - ua-cam.com/video/Z_MIUv0RMHQ/v-deo.html. Only works for PS3 and I think PS1 games.
Great but you have to mention that not ALL Psp-Ps2 games work
Thanks. I'm finding issues with some games.
so hear me out
i downloaded nfs most wanted ps2 from the pkgi store but when i want to play it my ps3 just kinds shuts off any help ??
Not all the PS2 games work on the PS3. There is a compatibility list online somewhere.
Why cant we upscale our ps1 games on ps3 like we can with duckstation on pc
I think the PS3 is using it's hardware to run the PS1 games so not really emulation.
Bytes n bits hi am having trouble getting hen on my ps3 60gb fat. It’s compatable could you please help?
Have you been through my PS3HEN video? ua-cam.com/video/-63zvyxF_s4/v-deo.html

Many psp game not working and glitches
Yes. PS2 and PSP are not perfect. Most games are playable but quite a few have rendering issues, etc.
I have every game from 2000 to 2015 on thousands of disk and 20 hard drives. I have many ps3s and other consoles but too old to keep modding and hacking the new ones
That sounds like a great collection.
I have 2 jailbroken PS3 consoles ; the best!!!
Great. Hope you're enjoying the games.
The God of War Footage looks a bit aweful or is that just me who thinks so?
The emulation in some of the games isn't perfect on the PS2.
my 2 brain-cells 🙈🙉
Okay…. so anyone find a way to play Aliens: Colonial Marines??? It used to work for me and then it stopped working one day…. I had to resort to playing it on RPCS3
I've not tried that one.
No PSVita 😢
I don't think the PS3 can emulated the Vita.
show me hoy
That's actually the correct pronunciation of the word. The English version is wrong.
Eh!?@@BytesNBits

Tried dantes inferno on psp pal and ntsc bot lock up the console and dont work doing further testing but ive never had any luck trying to get psp to work
They are a bit hit and miss. Did you try the ones I used in the video?
