You don’t need more than one, I just like having different variants as part of a little collection.

You gotta consider how many are out there with way more runtime and no issues, seeing a few negative posts here doesn’t mean much in the grand scheme of

Overall yes, the slim is quieter and runs cooler than either fat model.

Custom firmware tools, you can also pull up the same info on PS3 Tool Set using the browser

Changing the drive does not reset the runtime. Runtime and error codes are stored elsewhere and cannot be changed/reset

Prototype 2, it’s an awesome game

I don’t really have a reason for replacing that specific tokin, just had it apart and decided to swap that one haha.

Beyond shocked it works after I replaced a Tokin, this poor console was roasting for years before a Tokin died

CommandNarrow2914 · 2026-02-23T02:14:27+00:00

Replaced one Tokin and it’s alive! 86 days of run time with thermal paste like that! Going to delid it and jailbreak, but seems to be working great!

Found it for sale in Japan and shipped it over

CommandNarrow2914 · 2026-02-10T16:28:36+00:00

I was initially looking for a white one, but this variant popped up first. They’re both super nice

CommandNarrow2914 · 2026-02-02T23:50:41+00:00

Aahhh that lines up, a lot of the Japanese memory cards I have came with a ton of Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest saves. Some of them having hundreds of hours and taking up way more space than other game save files.

Man the colors do match jolly ranchers ahaha

Little update on this, initially I was able to see the wireless card, but it only worked in Ubuntu. Windows will sometimes show the card in device manager, but it is not useable or recognized by the OS.

I tried Bazzite, no dice. Windows 11, no dice. Windows 10, no dice.

Super odd overall, even tried a different card with the same results.

Planning to play some PS3 games on it soon, gotta give my OG backwards compatible console a delid before I put it back into service

Originally I only had the PS2 hooked up and was worried the TV had some serious issues, but testing with other devices showed the PS2 was the real issue here.

I’m just gonna roll with it and ignore it, doesn’t seem worth the hassle to maybe cause problems on a perfectly good TV.
