How to Play PS2 ISOs on a Jailbroken PS3 Using ManaGunZ
Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 лют 2025
- This tutorial will show you step-by-step how to play PlayStation 2 (PS2) games on a modified/jailbroken PS3 using ManaGunZ! This method shows you how to transfer your PS2 games to the PS3 over your network via FTP. multiMAN is used to transfer the game over to the console itself while as ManaGunZ is used to mount and boot up the game. This tutorial will work on ALL jailbroken PS3 consoles!
You do not need to worry about having a hardware or software based backwards compatible console, although it is important to note that compatibility and performance might not be great on a console that was build without backwards compatibility in mind. ManaGunZ is reported to have better compatibility as well as performance in-game, compared to other methods such as webMAN through multiMAN.

Honestly the only console I've ever jailbroken was my 3DS, and I honestly thought it was gonna be some insane jumping through hoops, but after finding your stuff I was able to do it within about 40 minutes last night. Just kinda wanted to thank you for making this so simple to do and walking through everything. As someone that isnt insanely tech-savy, I was never once confused when watching your stuff.
Cheers
Same I jailbroke my wii and I thought jailbreaking a ps3 was too much work but today I'm going to try to jailbreak jt
I just jailbroke my ps3 with ur guide thanks man
Glad to help!
GTA 5?
Same here thank you mr mario
You are a legend sir 🍻 I've been wanting
To jailbreak ps3 for the longest time
@@MrMario2011 not work with dbz bt3 mod af... Why,? ☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️
@@erenjeager4009 i wanted to Play Scarface The world Is yours but it lags a lot, it's still playable but very sucky. ☹ what's wrong with DBZ BK3?
After struggling for hours, this video finally solved my problem, thank you!
Glad this helped!
Had been trying to jailbreak my ps3 for a day now. Had mixed results with other users tutorials. Some things would install properly but eventually I'd hit a roadblock with a corrupt file or an error. I honestly avoided your videos at first cause I felt overwhelmed by the level of detail. Like, you're thorough but move fast. The videos tend to be longer cause there's more steps than other users. But when I started following along things started to work. At first I was like why are we dumping files and checking them multiple times to see if they match? It all worked though. Now I know the difference between CFW and HFW. I thought I only needed one rather than both. got multiman finally running. Can't believe you showed me a way to upload isos from my computer to my ps3. I'm just like wow right now. Awesome. Thanks for the in-depth guide.
This is exactly why I got into making video tutorials: I was trying to learn a few things and got frustrated over missing/inaccurate/assumed information not being conveyed. My tutorials aren't the best or the shortest, but I'd rather get as much information as I can in the video.
When the ImgBurn process completed and the little song played, I had a heart attack.
😂😂😂
I remember when I first used ImgBurn, and when the burn completed, I recognized the song as the same sample used by the company that made Jimmy Neutron for their end cap.
Made me slightly nostalgic, lol.
Its been 14hrs since I tidied my old ps3 slim. I installed CFM, lots of packages, got ps3 Dumps( legitimately i.e) . Now happily playing my ps2 iso rips. All this .. THANKS TO YOU!.
P.S ps2 joystick is a pain in the you know where...
When mounting a ps2 game. The disc does not show up in XMB menu.
did you find a solution?
@@croc1608 Yes, I tried a different method and it works nicely. Read my post above.
@@kenniitran witch?
Your tutorials are excellent, Mr. Mario. I appreciate your cautious approach...only a bricklayer would love a brick.
Big hugs for Lily!
I think you forgot to mention that this method works only on ps3's which natively support ps2 games, isn't?
Mine does not support and I cannot mount an iso file with ManaGunZ.
This FTP is awesome in just sending files! Thank you for that!
Thanks alot MrMario ! Thanks to your videos, now I successfully jailbroken my PS3 and played PS2 ISOS on PS3 ! You just earned a sub :)
Glad it helped!
@@MrMario2011
Can you tell me why my console states “Unsupported Data” when launching ManaGunz. I’d greatly appreciate it. I’m on rebug 4.86
Hey! Thanks for your tutorial! I did just like you said but after mounting the game, it says "unsupported format"! Please suggest what to do!
When I click on the file it says TODO !
Same
this was pretty helpful, thanks for posting another informative video, Mr Mario
Honestly perfect timing. I was thinking about pulling out my JB PS3 yesterday to do exactly this. Crayz how things turn out sometimes
When i start managunz and try to load a game it freezes any help?
same
Hrlpps
Same problem. No solution?
I'm unsure of the name of the software, but you can remap the controller on games for the ps2, i did it with one of the monster Hunter games as it was a hassle, this doesn't change on screen instructions just the actual button mapping
Same shit happened to me with Managunz freezing the system when I tried to load the game.
If you’ve Jailbroken your system recently I believe programs have updated since this video was made. Do everything the same in this video...just skip the Mangunz part.
So once you have WinSPC and used it to transfer your PS2 game over:
Load Up Multiman
Scroll To RETRO
Click On The PS2 ISO You Want To Play
This will boot you back to the PS3 Home Screen. From there under the Games section just click on the PlayStation 2 Format Disc icon and the game will load up.
Make sure to set up the memory card a lot like it’s shown in the video as well before playing your game.
wowwwwww thanks when i had recently jailbroken my ps3 following all these steps and didn't had no problem with managunz then my cousin wanted me to jailbreak his ps3 so i did but only problem i had was when i load up managunZ it's just blank screen and says "No Games are found" when i already added games to managunz files but then i read your commet and load it with multiman and so far my game not crashing or nothing it's working fine right now thank you
i hope it stays like this and not cause me problems loading it through multiman because on my ps3 when i load it though multman my whole system crashes and have it load through managunz
hello i know this is an old comment but i am currently having this problem with managunz. when i start it up, im stuck on a blue screen. what is this WinSPC? is it similar to managunz? if so, where can i download/find this to fix my problem. please let me know and thanks in advance!
Anyone else hear "On your Joe Rogan PS3" at the end of the video?
It's entirely possible.
I subscribed !
Your knowledge is my power lol
Keep up the great work
Hi Mario! Great tutorials and really thank you for that! I'm trying to run my old PS2 titles on the PS3 with 4.86 HFW HEN with Multiman and ManaGunZ, but so far no luck. When I load the ISO in Multiman it shows unsupported format in the XMB menu and there is no Mount button in the ManaGunZ. Is it possible to make it run on HEN 4.86 or you need the PS2 Classic manager and PS2 Classic Preloader?
I meet the same problem , Have you been slove the problem? i need help
did you find a solution?
did you find a solution? same problem here
Your PS3 might not be compatible with ps2 games
Same here bro
Doesn't work for me sadly. Crashes the ps3 if I run the game.
More than likely it's the iso that's the problem if you PS3 is a US console make sure the iso is also a US iso
Love the video. I just burned the ps2 games directly onto the console with multiman. Works with ps3 and ps1 games too.
Modded PS2 ISO like Dragon Ball Z Budokai Tenkaichi 3's doesn't work... Just black screen after "PlayStation 2" title.
I have budokai 3 and I mount it and click x and all I get is a small blue line at the top of the screen and then my ps3 crashes. If you fixed your problem then how?
@@jerryprice9573 Just extracted all files at the same time. So it creates only one folder. Before, I extracted only the first, that's why it didn't work.
Nice man i was actually looking for a good tut on this so thanks for this
Glad to help!
@@MrMario2011 yea imma set this up on my slim i just picked up a nice backwards compatible ps3 so imma set that up too
MrMario you made the best series of PS3 tuts on entire UA-cam. So far so good. It does work fine on my PS3, but theres a lot of games that do not run fluently. Can I improve or fix that through certain settings?
Sometimes.
@@MrMario2011 Well - which?
i am on ps3 super slim. i keep getting unsupported data when load ps2 iso on XMB. please help
On the super slim does not work managunZ, only fat and slim 😔😔 . And i have ps3 super slim
Just one thing I think you should add is that if you create a memory card utility is that you should assign a slot to 1 or 2 if you're using PS1 games as well(visa versa) , otherwise it won't have a save location.
This is pretty great! Thanks.
I am thinking about buying a PS3 in 2021. For tinkering. And PS2 Emulation.
Mine says “Unsupported Data”. “This model of the PS3 system is not compatible with PlayStation 2 format software”. I have the PS3 slim model. Any suggestions?
Same
You didn't jailbreak correctly either or you have HEN
Encrypt the iso game
hey im getting a black screen everytime i try a ps2 game. i tried switching it to 480p and it will loud the image of the game but then black screen. any idea why it does that. tony hawks underground and def jam fight for new york
Send it into sony technical support to fix your problem.
Make sure your games are compatible other than that reset your system and try again if not mess around with the settings
Dylan Smith how do I do that?
u are really good at this keep up the good work!
Thank you so much!
Niceee I will check it when I have time to do it. Thanks a lot
Thanks I was using multiman switched and it works!!!!!!
U can also use ps3splitter and split the iso into smaller parts copy it to the usb use multiman install the iso to the hdd and play it normaly also no filezilla transfer
Is PS3Splitter the program to use now? I used to use Split4G for PS3 games, haven't had to in a long time though so I never switched programs.
@@MrMario2011 yea they all do the same thing i just been doing ps3splitter just the *newer* version i guess
I've followed all the steps, but when i go on managunz and press X on the game it just freezes. Is there anything that could be happening?
@@Mcfatsack hello did you guys figure this out yet? i am currently having the same problem.. please let me know if you found a solution and thanks in advance!
@@Mcfatsack oh ok i see. how can i try this hard copy method myself? im new to this stuff so im not sure how to do this part. everything else i can do. please let me know, thanks!
I got a billion ps2 discs is there any way to play them on the ps3 withoit javing to make them an ISO
Nah unless u have the og ps3
Nope. The closest you can get is to use MultiMan to rip the disc to an ISO on your PS3's internal hard drive.
I appreciate everything so far, you’re amazing!! Is there benefits doing this pc rip method, instead of creating ISO from ps2 disk on Multiman??
Mana keeps freezing when trying to mount or even rename a game. Is this because its not fully compatible with CFW 4.87 as it says its for 4.86.
Hey MrMario2011, love your content, I have jailbroke my PS2 and PS3 with your guides! But I want to know, how do I play PS2 Games on PS3 that are over 4GB since the PS3 needs a FAT32 USB Drive?
My ps3 freezes when i mount the game on managun.. i have hen
yes me too
Do everything I this video cept just skip the ManaGunz portion entirely. You don’t need it.
Once the game is transfer from WinSPC to your PS3. Load up Multiman, Go to RETRO and click on the PS2iso you want to play.
This will boot you back to PS3. Set up your memory card if you haven’t already (it’s shown how to in the video) then click on the PlayStation 2 Format Disc icon and your game will load.
Thanks for this. I'm going to try to play True Crime: New York City, Without Warning and 24: The Game with the emulator
Great tutorial!!!! I just loaded my first PS2 game. Unfortunately, only half of the game screen is showing. It’s as if game is moved so far right, half the screen is missing.
i got the same issue too. no ideea on how to fix it lol
Is managunz better than the multiman for playing ps2 games??
Its the same
Great and easy to follow, thank you! Is ManaGunz still your recommended way to do this?
Great and clear tutorial.
I saw there is a PSP option too, i tried it. The game showed up in ManaGunZ, selected it, got directed to the dashboard but no icon with PSP is shown. Am i missing somthing here?? Would love to play some PSP on my PS3 :P
It says unsupported disk
Thank you. This worked perfectly.
is there a way to implement widescreen patches? Like with open ps2 loader
Yes
Finally it works, but the process is kinda slow.... At least it works! I might give it some serious testing tomorrow, thanks.
Freeze? Ps2 iso for this is step?
@@silverstone7731 yes iso works fine
@@IceofDream.
Was wondering if you can help me. When I try to play a ps2 iso game using Mangunz. It states “Unsupported Data”. Can you tell me how to fix this. What am I doing wrong. I’d greatly appreciate it.
@@bozolozo21 did you put your games in "PS2ISO" and exctracted the file? Since the file format has to be ISO
@@IceofDream.
Yes I did and for some reason it still says “Unsupported Data”. I don’t understand why. Someone mentioned that I should reinstall my firmware because when using the hombrew “Sen Enabler”. It is known to mess up the “cobra hash” and even though there is a “cobra hash fix button” in Sen Enabler. It doesn’t always work. What do you recommend I do?
Thank you Mr Mario, very clean and well explained, it worked first time with me, now can i transfer the iso from my PC to the PS3 if the console is off?
Iam a big fan of your channel. Quick question, can the xbox 360 2007 model van be jtagged?
if i use managunz instead of webman on a backwards compatible ps3, will managunz utilise the ps2 hardware instead of using full software emulation?
i keep freezing when i play parappa the rapper 2 ps3 plz help
Hi guys, I tried to play Castlevania Curse of Darkness (PS2) using ManaGunz. Everything went well until the PS2 Format Disc showed up with the 'Blue' disc icon. While it should have a 'Yellow/Gold' one. When I pressed X on the disc the screen just went black after Playstation 2 title came up.
Memory card has set and Mana Gunz already showed my ISO files. I tried witg Onimusha and it worked because it showed the 'Gold' disc icon.
Please help...
your file is the issue
Do you recommend only doing this on fat PS3s or PS3 models that otherwise natively support PS2 emulation?
Good question.. 🤔
At the 6:30 part. For me it doesen't appear to Mount Game, and When i press the "X" button, it appears a red warning in the right upper corner saying "TODO".
Any suggestions ? I believe i followed all the steps
If you're using a Slim PS3, it won't load, because PS2 games aren't compatible with Slim models.
@@minionkeys9280 So, no PS2 games on my PS3 ? Mine is PS3 Slim yeah
@@joao.miguel490 I've apparently heard you can use stuff like PS2classicsGUI to load them as if it's a PS2 Classics application. Try that out if you want to.
@@minionkeys9280 Thank You :). Imma try that then
Whenever I press “load game ROM” it takes me back to the home screen but the game isn’t there. It’s recognised as a ps2 game in mega man and managunz but just doesn’t show up as a disk. Can anyone help?
you have to make sure you installed the game properly
Nice video thank you! I do have a PS3 launch edition 60gb CECHA01 North America. I have all my PS2 games in PAL . I live in Europe and there isn’t many NTSC ps2 games around. If I would jailbreak my PS3 would it run NTSC PS2 games with your method? And does the emulator take advantage of the emotion engine?
Hey, did you jailbreak that ps3? some guy is selling it and told me that doing that could mess backwards compatibility, don't know if that is true though.
Where do you find CECHA models in Europe?
what if u have a disc and you just want to play it through the disc?
You can't.
Dude you just saved me the trouble of getting a PS2 and doing the hard drive hack. I was thinking about something like this but I didn't know if they made anything like it for PS3, but know to fix that dang ylod.
Backwards compatibility isn't the best, but it works well enough for many games.
Not all the titles will work, if you have a chance to get a cheap ps2, do it.
This is WAY better than multiMan.
Funny you call it Mana Guns. I call it ManaGunZ Like Dragon Ball Z.
Mana, mana
rock the mana
ManaGunZ!
i tried playing games with managun but it freezes what is the problem with it ?
Cool video! love the material! I have ps2 hardrive with OPL. Does this work any better than that?
You'll have higher game compatibility on a PS2.
Bro when i was mount my game just take long time , should i wait more time ? Because i think its didnt work
Mine doesn't show playstation 2 format disc
When I try to launch A game it says (Todo) and that is it it wont launch any idea why?
Thanks
If you're using a Slim PS3, it won't load, because PS2 games aren't compatible with Slim models.
@Muzaffar Khan So this works with super slim running HEN?
@Muzaffar Khan I hope I can find that method for the slim since it's what I have
@Muzaffar Khan I have the same problem with my PS3 fat
Hey mr Mario I have a ps3 super slim with hen I was wondering how to play ps2 games with that
Hi mr Mario.. I did just that and all my ps1 games are working find.. But no ps2 games are working on managunz when i press x on the ps2 game it says todo on top the screen.. Please help
Mine is showing, "This model of PS3 system is not compatible with PS2 format software." Please help. I did eveything as instructed perfectly.
Mario, I did follow your instructions but have you tried MidNight Club 3 Dub Edition Remix? I literally bought the game tonight and not having any luck.
I tried ManagunZ and it freezes.
Then tried multiman and it gives me a black screen.
And then on WebMan the game doesn't show up right on the screen.
I really don't know what else to do
Same! Why is everything so confusing?!?
Even though I have a ps2 I just found out about this today funny enough 😀 guess I will use this for those pesky pal games I can't play on my na ps2 😅
Naruto ultimate ninja 5 never came to na so playing that heard its really good
Have fun!
Thank You for your giudline, sir. Quick question, please. Does the ps3 controller need to be connected to ps3 by the charging wire in order to play ps2 games?
thanks for your guide its just help me a lot
Which CFW are you using in this vid ? I simply can’t get ManaGunz 1.37 to work on Overflow 4.85... System freezes when launching the mounted iso
whenever i start the game, the playstation 2 logo shows up, but then the screen remains black forever, the game never starts, i've read that it's because of the version of the cfw, and you have to downgrade, but i'm not sure.
When I go to mount the game on mana, it freezes up on me. And I did everything right. Maybe it's the game I'm trying to play, but I'm not too sure. Any idea as to what I did wrong?
Me too everything is fine but when I boot it It freezes the whole system
Verify the version APK is compatible with the version of custom firmware (REBUG). I got that freeze screen, I updated the apk, but now I get stuck on the black screen before the ps2 logo.
OK so I've seen multiple videos regarding ps2 isos and what work/doesn't and I need a quick breakdown.
This shows what looks like regular iso files and I thought they had to be encrypted. Is it because you can only play regular isos on ManaGunz?
Do the iso.bin.enc ones go into a different folder than ps2iso? I know there are differences also between what can be played off usb vs. Hdd and on top of that, different methods depending on if drive is ntfs or fat32. Is there a table breaking down all the limits and methods?
My ps3 is also hfw/hen so I don't know what difference that makes with all of this. Too much to sort out
Just installed ManaGunz and imediattly I like it more then Webman, Webman at least for me, seemed to ramp up my fan speed into oblvion, Wheras ManaGunz does not do this. While I do enjoy to convenince of Webman, I find this to be a much safer option.
How well does it work on an early PS3 with actual hardware-based backwards compatibility? Does it actually use the PS2 chip, or does it still use emulation?
You'll have the best experience with that hardware BC
MrMario2011 Awesome! I’m considering getting a phat PS3 for this and other things. Here’s hoping I get lucky.
It say you are not using a ps2 configuratio file what do i do plz
I hope this works fairly well, because multi man's image mounting for PS1 and PS2 games has been really shoddy in my experience
No issues with PS1 or PS3 games in my experience, although PS2 I've never gotten to work properly. I always use WebMan or ManaGunZ.
The PS3 Slim does not support PS2 discs due to the absence of the Emotion Engine and PS2 Graphics synthesizer that were present on the Fat PS3 so there might be some gameplay issues when playing PS2 ISO's. Does Multi-man have a PS2 emulator that allows you to play PS2 ISO's on a PS3 Slim without any gameplay issues with the PS1/PS2 Smoothing feature working with it?
I liked your comment because I am curious as well and I want to get it higher up so someone will see it
I really enjoy watching your videos thx Super Mario also say hi to Luigi LOL
Whats up Mr Mario quick question so when I go into managunz I'm stuck at this black screen where it says "square" Boost! and its just stuck on this screen what should I do
Mine does this same exact thing! It's not a black screen though, it's the blue screen with all the playstation button icons and stuff as a background, and then the loading circle keeps going in upper right corner, as a bullet goes across the screen, which I can also change the direction it goes back and forth from with the direction pad. And hold square to boost the speed before it runs out and refreshes. And select for logs. But it's forever on this screen, what am I doing wrong? D:
Love your videos!
You are such a great help with everything from consoles to games and everything that comes with that.
I have a question for you, which I cannot find anywhere!
I have the original disc HARRY POTTER CHAMBER OF SECRETS (PS2) which is like new condition and I tried playing it on my CFW PS3 slim which runs all my psx ps2 ps3 sega etc games perfectly except the mentioned game :(
It basically starts up as normal, main menu etc etc then when I go into new game it gives me serious graphic glitches/issues (multicolour lines on screen) I tried everything but still same thing keeps happening and then the game just freezes after a while.
Sounds are there though just display freezes of game.
I would really love to play my childhood game on my ps3 and I know it's possible since there are gameplays of it on UA-cam (PS3) but just cannot find a way around it :/
Please help if you know anything that could help/explain.
Thank you in advance! ✌🏻
No guarantee all games will work.
MrMario2011 I totally get that, but how come without this people actually play that particular game since ages back and to this day? Like is there any way to get it to work?
Thanks a million for your reply!
I appreciate it bro I got my ps2 games to run.
Opening Managunz after install shows an 3 second legacy bios style initialization which ends with "no game found" in red letters. A PS4 style background, no xmb or UI at all, only a key legend at the bottom left showing keys for exiting to XMB or opening file manager(looks like the menu you accessed from Managunz main menu with 🔺 button. With me it goes straight to that and stays there). Whats the issue here?
Can you do a video on how to use mod menus for games like gta 5 and so on please!!
Yo I want him to make a tutorial too on that but bo2
This method doesn't work for me. I'm getting "unrecognised disc" format on disk image. And when I want to start the game, it's showing me message "your model ps3 is not compatible with ps2 games"....
I have cechl04 fat model
Ok I cannot find any help I did a CFW titled evilnat cobra
I’m able to get ps3 running flawlessly no problem but ps2 the iso will show up then crash with an error I’ve tried everything im lost.
How come in gameplay there’s always those black bars top and bottom. Is it just a weird resolution or what? Cause I don’t like em.
So if one had the cecha01 would you need 3rd party software being the hardware is already there?
I did everything but everytime i launch Multiman i get a black screen and a error message. Pls help
Kep looking for answer to this but cant find quick answer. Does this work with cd based ps2 games in bin cue formwat?
theres a way to use cds too and they use image burn
well explained. Thank you Mr. Mario.
You're welcome!
So, what if after the game transfers over, WinSCP says "Connection failed, Bye! (Too many connections)". What do I do then? I did find a workaround where I just close multiMAN and then re-open it but I don't want to do that every single time I want to copy a game over. multiMAN takes a little bit to load on my PS3. Also, what should I do if every time I turn my PS3 on it says "The file system on the system storage is corrupt and will be restored" and then gets stuck at 47%? I'm not about to format and then re-install all my pkg files and isos every time I want to play my PS3.
I dont get the screen mode to change to fullscreen it only has the smoothing option
Its not working for me. Copied the file into the right folder. In multiman i have to make a placeholder and managunz not even showing the game. But for me in the system information there is no mention about cobra and multiman not called mmcm its multiman.
when I mount a game it just freezes and stays stuck on the blue loading screen and it has a loading circle symbol on the top right corner
did they fix it?
Did you fix it?
