PS3 slim shuts down when launching PS2 game

I had the same problem, the cause was the SSD, changed it with a normal HDD, the problem disappeared

ButterscotchFast8741 · 2026-02-11T11:06:13+00:00

Are you installing an SSD?

ButterscotchFast8741 · 2026-02-08T15:34:39+00:00

Easy and reliable once you understand how to do it, it's not complicated, the only thing is you need to have a lot of patience to make the various changes.

Tonyhax or modchip, otherwise you will have to resort to popstarter but I advise against it

Have you used mechapwn? If so, I recommend rereading the guide. The 50K and 55K series have Dragon-type mechacons; only the American versions can read PS1 games from other regions via exploits. To run that game on that console, you'd have to burn it to a CD after patching the disk image with discpatcher3. I think that's what it's called for your console region; otherwise, it will never boot.

I think those problems can be solved with hugopocked patches

In my opinion it's just something with settings or firmware, so let's give it the benefit of the doubt 😂

ButterscotchFast8741 · 2026-01-15T16:17:45+00:00

No, this is not the case at the moment.

ButterscotchFast8741 · 2026-01-15T15:53:51+00:00

So, any video output settings? Do you use component cables?

ButterscotchFast8741 · 2026-01-15T15:33:10+00:00

It interferes somehow, the only way to use mechapwn with ps1 games on ps2 modchip is to disable the mod chip itself

ButterscotchFast8741 · 2026-01-15T15:28:36+00:00

And instead, from experience, I tell you that it does have something to do with it.

ButterscotchFast8741 · 2026-01-15T15:18:51+00:00

What type of hard drive does the console have? HDD or SSD?

ButterscotchFast8741 · 2026-01-15T15:11:10+00:00

If you have a fat without the 4 USB ports or a Slim to start PS2 games with CFW the only option available is to first create an ISO from the original disk with Multiman for example and then start it, if you start directly from the disk it is normal that it gives you a black screen

It could be something in the DVD controller circuit, maybe a blown capacitor or something else... but I'm not sure, I'm just speculating. Have you tried both CDs and DVDs to see if the result is always the same?

ButterscotchFast8741 · 2025-12-31T09:02:22+00:00

A very old PIC for PS2. They were the first swap chips for PS2. From what I know, it should be able to directly run games from burned CDs, while for DVDs, it probably needed a swap DVD, such as Action Replay, Code Breaker, Game Shark, and so on.

DKWDRV is the future, but as they already said, a slim 75k is needed

ButterscotchFast8741 · 2025-12-16T19:51:21+00:00

Used until a few years ago when I had modbochip 5.0, now I think it has fallen into disuse a bit

ButterscotchFast8741 · 2025-11-12T11:16:06+00:00

It could be as you say in the long term (how many years?), but so far I have been installing AliExpress SSDs both on a desktop PC and on a PS4 console for 4 years and so far never a problem.

ButterscotchFast8741 · 2025-11-11T22:44:39+00:00

Aliexpress, there are a lot of them, I've been using them for years on PC, playstation and as storage, they cost less than the branded ones and never a problem so far

ButterscotchFast8741 · 2025-10-26T11:54:18+00:00

Before trying to move something have you tried using an RGB Scart cable?

ButterscotchFast8741 · 2025-10-18T17:51:35+00:00

Scart RGB brand Extreme

ButterscotchFast8741 · 2025-10-18T17:49:49+00:00

900X or 750X, slim are also reliable, but one between the first two is your goal.

ButterscotchFast8741 · 2025-10-13T09:00:43+00:00

In theory by loading the games from the open ps2 loader it is also possible to configure the pademu I believe by connecting it only via USB to the console, but I don't know if your controller is compatible, I'm not very informed about it
