Hey, just wanted to make a correction. You CAN play ps1 games off a usb. You just have to put them in a folder called PSXISO. You can also rip the ps1 disc using multiman with create iso. This is actually better as some games have multiple bin tracks and if not properly merged the game wont play properly.
@@drac6838 yes. USB 2.0 speeds are quite sufficient for the PS1, PSP, and PS3 ISO'S. Very little difference at all between having them internal or external.
@Corey Masters Fortunately, the latest version of EvilNat CFW prohibits PSN access by default. You can disable custom firmware temporarily via button combination and safely go on PSN. Simply hold R2 and Triangle and you'll hear a trophy unlock sound with a message saying CFW syscalls disabled and History deleted. You can now safely log in to PSN, but you won't be able to use any custom firmware till you shut off your system or restart it. Yes, Sony could ban you if you didn't do this step but luckily it prevents you on default.
Blaine, I noticed you made the same mistake again. You can run PS1 games from USB by putting the bin/cue in the PSXISO folder on the root of your USB drive. If you make your file system like this: PSXISO PS2ISO PSPISO PS3ISO GAMES (for games in folder format) All your games will show up. PS3 games in the games category and PS1, PSP, PS2 in the retro category. Also you don't need to restart to get rid of the disc data, just hit refresh games list. You can also rip PS1 discs using Multiman on PS3.
I prefer to use the PSX ports that were on the PS store cause the file size is smaller and they are officially supported. Whatever isn't ported, I resort to putting in the PSXISO folder.
nah trust me man i thought the same but its really easy and the chances of failing/bricking are so low theres no reason not to tbh man, just make sure your main psn account isnt on the console so it doesnt get banned
@@797manky Sony gives so little of a shot about PS3 the only way ur getting banned is if you leave syscalls enabled AND open rebug toolbox while online.
Brilliant that Blaine 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Don't forget in Retroarch to switch the 'X' & 'O' buttons in the settings as 'O' is 'SELECT' as default. You can also use 'LEFT' & 'RIGHT' on the directional pad to navigate forward & backwards in Multiman 👍🏻
I love your videos so much, thanks! many tutorials often skip over small details, which greatly annoys people like me who aren't super tech-savvy but looking to get into jailbreaking etc, but I never see these issues with your videos! they're also nice background noise for when I'm drawing/animating even if I don't own the devices/don't want to modify them. I'm adopting you as my dad now because you're cool >:)
took me 10 years to get my new 1tb hard drive to work on my ps3 >.< reformatted it twice and dl the firmware multiple times and eventually it started the ps3 format and update! thank you for the guide!
Note to people who want to this, you will need the DS3 for the setup. Tried connecting a DS4 and a fight stick with home button but no dice. All the original controller died sitting around close to a decade.
3 years ago I installed a new HDD to my PS3 Slim, I had it soft modded with PS3HEN for the same amount of years, had a almost 500 gb worth of games there, all jailbroken, it worked great, then a few days ago this HDD died completely! I tried recovering the system a couple of times until the console said it didn't recognize it anymore, well then I got a 1tb SSD this time around, because another benefit of an SSD is that it doesn't have moving parts like a HDD and I feel like that makes the drive last longer, I truly hope this SSD that I just installed lasts longer and works better, it felt like my PS3 ALWAYS struggled with a HDD, you could hear the disk spinning in what seemed like an erratic way, anyway, I already installed 4.90, tomorrow I'll continue this tutorial to see if I can get back to CFW or PS3HEN, I'm convinced my PS3 slim might actually be compatible for CFW.... let's hope so! I love your videos Blaine! awesome work!
Great video tutorial, Blaine on the spot, is incredible how much you can do with a CFW PS3, specially for videogame preservation, looking forward for the other videos on the channel first one lucks 👍👍👍
My favorite console. Always kicking myself for trading in the slim for the super slim. This machine sounds like a dream, so, fingers crossed! And thanks for all your videos! Honestly think you’re the best when it comes to stuff like this.
This is a great video, little note. Showtime/movian have a build in FTP server so transfering can be done in that way too, also dont forget to go to plugins and install subtitles :) This is the reason why i use my PS3 every day.
Once you have your system fully set up and all media internal stored and launchable, is internet connection required to launch/play anything stored or can the system be disconnected? Also, the fact multiman can make your later ps3 read/recognize ps2 games and make iso's is bonkers. Thanks deeply for this video man.
Can save a lot of time and swapping usb drive by using ftp to transfer files directly from your PC to the PS3, rather than copying to usb then having to copy again from usb to ps3.
The ps3 can have a storage of 1.7tb of space but because they dont make those you can resize a 2tb hdd to 1.7tb and it should work.. I have a 1.5tb sata hdd and it is a beast of a machine... With the cfw and everything.. What i will say is dont buy a 1.5tb tho it is costly... When you can buy a 2.0tb and resize it..
As a person who has been modding consoles for years, i found this video more complicated. 1. PS3 has a SATA 1.5 controller, which means that it can't use the full speed of SSD's. Your best bet is to use a SSHD or a regular HDD. Also, if you know how to configure, you can install 2TB storage. 2. Copying ISO's and running them from multiman is not very comfortable, you can use digital versions and run them straight from the XMB. ISO versions are disc based versions, which means they will install additional data when you first run run them, also they can cause freezing/crashes. Digital versions are the most reliable. 3. Speaking about PS2 versions, You can convert PS2 ISO to PS2 Classics and run them from XMB (you can add icon/background/music)
Agree also the ps3 is limited to 1.7tb But my question is what program did you use too configure your 2tb HDD as I tried doing it myself but kept running into errors... I know that one can configure the 2tb to a 1.7tb & it should work, but I couldn't manage too configure it... So I settled for a 1.5tb sata HDD
I see one big disadvantage to what you were proposing, it all relies on the internal hard drive. You can run folder and ISO games of a flash or external hard drive and you won't have a limit on storage. I do agree with you that Multiman isn't the best way to launch games. I usually launch them from Webman so I don't have to leave the XMB. He's trying to keep things simple. The only thing he really should have pointed out is that you can't run PS2 ISOs on a HEN system (but you can when you convert them to PKG files).
the dvd iso folder is ment for dvdiso not mp4 and mkv files lol there also an video folder you can place ur video files. the dvd iso folder is where the dvd movie iso will be created when ripping your own dvd movie i notice the dvd menus and such lot much more smoother from the internal ssd/hdd
Has anyone run into the issue where the USB you use, the playstation says "No applicable update data was found"? I formatted the drive, used the right USB port..etc
You know man😀😀😀👌.. You are super amazing and I thank you so much for your great help and service and advice.. Really until now you the only one made a full super video for this ultimate lovely sony.. Thanks Alot man thank you so much. I love your great channel 😊👍👍👍👍👌👌👌.
Quick question, once all the ps3 and ps2 games are downloaded does it have to stay connected to the internet to receive the cover art or does it download it to the hard drive also? I was also wondering of it will read a 2 GB hard drive as well. I have tons of PS2 and PS3 games to backup?
Awesome guide, thank you. I really appreciate your work! Before I begin, quick question...for the SSD, before I install it, do I need to format that drive to fat32? Or will the PS3 format it by itself?
Hi, Blane! How are you? Your tutorial is awesome. Very explanatory. Thank you! My question about the subject is: the PS3 need to be unlocked (the trick to accept non-original games) for this to work? Thank you again!!

@@blainelocklair From the HDCP stripper, I have the 1st MCLASSIC, then the MCABLE (Cinema), then the 2nd MCLASSIC. The devices aren't directly connected in the chain. I've done a few vidz on ps3 exclusives upscaled to the level of a PS4 PRO 👀
i wanted to know, you explain that in order to play games of playstation 3 and 2 you have to put the fiscal disk on the console and the copied it or create de iso. the question is can I download the iso for ps2 and ps3 games to play them? or do I obligatory need the physical disks(?)
@@blainelocklair Have you tried Rage on PS3 with a SSD yet? It fixes it. Also worth doing a vid on how using a SSD fixes Fallout 3's and New Vegas's memory leak when your save file gets to big or if you have the expansions installed. Also improves texture streaming for all Unreal Engine 3 games on PS3.
I really like this video, however the SSD upgrade might not be worth it. While it's great on newer systems like the Xbox one and PS4 generation, the PS3 sata port throttles the bandwidth at a much lower speed as it wasn't engineered around the possibility of having faster read/write speeds. I also haven't finished the video but the PS3 only will recognize up to 750gb of storage. So that leaves 200gb+ unused and wasted on top of the slower speeds. Getting a 1tb 2.5in drive or finding a 750gb hard drive might be more beneficial and cost effective. Other than that great vid so far from what I've seen!
SATA3 SSD pricing is pretty cheap nowadays I don't see it being a major factor. Extra 20 bucks and you get double the storage, granted you can't use all of it but its an extra SSD that you can use for whatever else down the road. SSD also have superior 4k random read write and seek times.
@@maman89 I'm not sure if you read everything I wrote, or maybe it was misinterpreted... I realize the benefits of an SSD however the PS3 he put it in will not utilize those speeds and the system wasn't designed for faster read/write speeds. It throttles at a certain speed basically rendering the upgrade useless
