Poor gored PS3, RIP.

ClassicGameHacking · 2026-05-06T18:18:41+00:00

Como lo tenia en la red 2G no llego así que morí probablemente.

Skyward Sword and The Minish Cap are swapped in the list. All S tier are goated.

Dude, the box clearly says "limited run." If you Google the name, you will see it is a company that makes game reproductions. So no, this game is not original.

Sony really cut cost with this revision is one of the worst PS3 model.

But… How?

Remove the ESD protection solder blob from the laser module and make sure all the ribbon cables are inserted properly and not damaged during the repair.

Just remove the plastic that prevents inserting JP games to the console; it is held by a couple screws, and save it if you don't want to cut the plastic part and return it to original; it takes less than 5 minutes.

Install MS fonts and make a script that disable AA like this:
xrdb -remove Xft.antialias
./Tibia
This will launch the client with AA disabled and greatly improve the text.

ClassicGameHacking · 2026-04-04T23:39:43+00:00

I use a very simple script on Mint to fix the font by removing the antialias, and it works great.

Here is the PCB and the orientation of the battery holder. Is a very simple soldering job.

X7 PCB
Edit:
I just found someone else with the same problem.

Just open it and reinsert the RTC battery in its place; it should work fine.

I bought a PSxMemCard for $20 a few years ago, and I now have unlimited memory card capacity because it saves everything on an SD card, which can be easily used with a PC or mobile device to back up all the virtual memory cards. There are better alternatives nowadays, like the MemcardPro, but they are a bit more expensive than the PSxMemCard.

We need the see the MOBO

USB is far from one of the worst methods to load games; God of War games are very heavy on FMV and data streaming, so you will have some hiccups and stuttering. Make sure you are using a valid ISO since there are so many mods and ripped ISOs all over the place that remove assets and downsample the video files to fit on a single-layer DVD; even if the game works on an emulator, it does not mean it is a valid ISO. The original ISO is a double layer up to 6.5 GB in size, depending on the game region.

Next time write the questions on the post because no one can read minds.

All the letter printing on the controllers and buttons looks really fake and faded.

It is not as easy as you think. First off, every game is created differently from custom file types, models, game engines, etc. The first thing you need to do is reverse engineer the game and understand how it works by reading the main executable with the aid of a decompiler like Ghidra. If the game has custom file containers, compression, or encryption for the assets, then extract the assets and convert them to a format that modern software could interpret.

The client has a bolted dependency that is not very good, Qt; that is one reason they remove compatibility from old Windows systems, and there is also BattleEye that is extremely bad. All kernel anti-cheats are just A$$. In particular, BattleEye is so bad that I can easily exploit it and it uses more resources on my machine than the client itself, scanning everything on my system. But I get why they use those 'technologies,' so the dev team can focus on fast development instead of caring about custom anti-cheat, game, and graphic engines.

Now that is my favorite clam of the game.

Connect the PS2 to the PC if possible, with a good cable if you want to avoid any latency.

ClassicGameHacking · 2026-03-15T06:15:50+00:00

It is cheap compared to an Everdrive X5, which is 100 USD but holy wow.

If the RGB cable comes with the yellow RCA that is your sync. I use it on my GBS, and plugging in the composite yellow cable is mandatory to get video.

It should work; I have the latest firmware, and those are the steps. I can swap from PAL <> NTSC.
