I finally jailbroke my PS3 Slim to Evilnat 4.9.1 and was playing around with some games from 2013 since I can play some of my games (like GoW Accession and MGSV) directly from the SSD now....and it's no wonder why the game companies are so greedy today with all the microtransactions and selling $70-$120 games- the games back then were of tremendous value, and you were able to pick them up for $10-$20 new, which was what I had been doing before I switched to PC in 2016. The games of 2023-2024 look and play better ONLY if the developer wants them to. That of course is if you don't need 1440-4k @ 60 FPS. Otherwise they are just marginally better looking than games from 2013...which was running on 2006 hardware. Pretty mind blowing when you think of it.
Thanks for the walkthrough and how to! I got an extra 150 MHz on both the cpu and gpu. Crysis 3 definitely sees improvement. Temp stays just under 70C on a 2000 series slim that I repasted with delidding, with the fan program set to Auto #2. It works great!
yes. epic tutorial, others i watched didnt show with enough clarity that i have to update keys and just kept on failing, i eventually just randomly clicked on some options that made some kind of firmware, then i bricked my test ps3. your tutorial helped
Ouch! yeah, I was a bit dissapointed in the previous tutorials as well. I wished they showed the process in more detail as well. IG that's why I felt I needed to make it. Cuz nobody else did!
I love old hardware since it can often be overclocked way harder As an example my hd 6570 standart clock was 650 core 900 mem but it could oc to 950 1170 pretty stable without adjusting voltage
I love that someone had the ability to hack the ps3 enough to overclock it and made it publicly, it is a amazing tool and a very important scientific diacovery for the community but personaly i would never do that to a ps3 and worries me to think how many will be destroyed in hope for a 4 fps increase
I don't disagree with this sentiment. Thing is that the OC is already out there and people are already bricking. We can't let the fact a tool can be abused to cause harm prevent us from making the tool. Just because a car can be used to run someone over, doesn't mean that's what it's for. I think from a documentatiin and experimentation standpoint the overclock is benificial. I found it helpful to see how core artifacting differs from VRAM artifacting. Might make it easier to diagnose issues in the future. And OFC, if it can help someone enjoy a game that was otherwise unplayable, that's a big bonus.
@@MsLoquendo3456 i said 4 fps because a lot of games have 30 fps limit and run mostly around 22-25 fps, but obviouly some games can gain more from the oc, others nothing at all
It's definitely interesting, but I won't be installing this on my slims. I overclock desktop PCs, but I'm not risking my PS3s. Thank you for the video!
It was already happening and going to regardless. This way I can warn people and put the info into one place. What people do with their console is their prerogative.
600/750 is the place to start. Work your way up slowly after that, or don't continue past if you're not willing to patiently and diligently test for instability and accept the risk. No one can tell you what your max is.
I have a friend Victor that uses a CNC mill to remove the VRAM and then sands down the to the pads so he can install new VRAM modules on the RSX interposer itself. Crazy man. We've speculated about the idea of then installing VRAM modules with higher capacity. The issue then is how to get the console to make use of it. It's such a crazy thing that no one has seriously looked into figuring it out. But I do think it's possable. Edit: XDR would be easier to access and replace, since they arent glued on with underfill. But there's the same issue of allocating the extra memory and then actually utilizing it.
@@ripfelix3020If I tell I thought the same thing you wouldn't believe me, I thought first of using an CNC to cut off rsx modules just to replace memory due to soldering leakage when reballing RSX but then I thought about increasing the VRAM of RSX, I think max Gddr3 that can be installed on RSX may be only 2.048Mb only about 80% increase 😂😂😂😂😂

Yep backwards compat ps3s fail while doing nothing mine failed just by sitting on the shelf the next time I got it out in winter boom YLOD but it only cost me approx $40 usd but now I have 2 backwards compatible ps3 that don't work If I had my time again I'd sell it or at minimum mod it not that that would help much
Makes me wonder if you were to undervolt a PS3 with YLOD would it fix it since many consoles are are YLOD due to bad noise? Food for thought, and may be worth testing to see if undervolting a YLOD would fix it.
Hello Felix I got an extreme Important question, If you just left an Frankie With it's Original Voltage Controller of which it's about 1.35 Volts for the 90nm rsx that alone wouldn't be the voltage mod for an 40nm Frankie??? And would allow us to Overclock till 950Mhz with the original Voltage Controller??
So the core voltage is determined by the syscon after it's read off the RSX efuses. The GPU's reccomended VID is baked into it. So if it's a 90 syscon will select one voltage. When we frankie it, syscon selects the proper core voltage for that GPU. However, if you manually change that byte in syscon eeprom, it will not change automatically. It'll stay at what you select.
@@ripfelix3020 so after all that means in Frankie's was never necessary to do the voltage mod for the 40nm as the Syscom detects automatically the model of the chip which is related to its lithography!!?
Don't confuse core voltage with VDDR. There are 6 voltages for the RSX. VDDR is a different voltage entirely and if that's not reduced from 1.2v on a 90nm motherboard to 1v for a 65nm RSX or 0.95v for a 40nm, it will burn out in a year. Confirmed.
@@ripfelix3020 Omg, I have no Ideia about that, Alright Understood Thank Dr.Felix, You Rock!!!! Also please bring more overclock videos, Maybe if you want try liquid cooling on RSX or liquid metal, all to help overclock it further, also if there's GPU on slims that are reported to go up to 950mhz with original voltage then just imagine what that GPUs can achieve in core clock if you increase the voltage to 1.35 Volts, so proportionally an GPU like that maybe would achieve 1.4Ghz Core.
You need a Fat32 MBR formated USB flash drive. Folder structure = PS3/UPDATE/UPDAT.PUP Then plug it into the console and go to update, choose the option to update from storage. You need a compatible base firmware for it to work tho. So be sure you are fully jailbroken and trying to update to a CFW version that's compatible with your system.
Be sure to run as administrator, select the keys folder, generate the new lvl keys for the FW version you're trying make a MFW of. If none of that works, delete the file, download it again and try to redo it from the begining again. I had weird issues once, got errors I couldn't resolve, deleated it (and the temporary file un user appdata), then reinstalled and it worked that time. IDK why, but I got there eventually. Good luck.
Yes, you will just create the Ps3 keys for 491 then select the B9 CFW as the Original FW you want to modify. MFW Builder will then apply any OC combination you want from the options in the dropdown.
Did I say HFW somewhere? Not sure what you're asking, but if you're wondering why you can't use Homebrew Enabler HEN, it's because you can't change the values in lv1.self where the timings are. You need to be able to install custom firmware, which means full jailbreak.
dont overclock neither of the ps3, it overheats easy, maybe the super slim, but thats it, its really dangerous and we will see a wave of dead ps3 because of this.
Check the link in the description for the project RSX boost thread on the psx place forums. There are many people there that have uploads countless combinations. It's endless the requests we get for some new combination. So No, I'm not interested in doing that. It's why I made a tutorial to show people how to do it themselves.
