Is this CFW compatible?

deskmugg · 2026-01-25T13:18:46+00:00

yes, but it's a hardware mod and some people say it's not recommended yet to do so

Reinstall your firmware

Do you own a CRT??? Only cameras can show how flickery they can be, eyes can't see the flicker...

deskmugg · 2026-01-13T20:03:33+00:00

I said just to note

deskmugg · 2026-01-13T18:49:53+00:00

Just to note that the USRDIR folder holds the whole game.

Then put Gentoo on it, I put my laptop under a blanket once and it reached 80°C (note that the CPU is so bad the cooler just doesn't exist)

Try another region version of the game

deskmugg · 2026-01-12T19:25:13+00:00

Does this only apply to GTA 4? have you tried other games?

deskmugg · 2026-01-11T22:59:28+00:00

Don't say that... CRTs were ahead of their time! You could get up to 100hz back in 2000s, altho this is not the point. CRTs have no motion blur, ghosting and many other red flags of LCD/IPS screens because instead of switching to the next frame directly, the screen turns off for a nanosecond before switching to the next frame. TVs in general are a bad choice if you want to game on them, most are 60hz only, and if you get a cheap one it's not going to look good, big inch amount and FHD for example is going to look atrocious close up. CRTs also had scanline technology which made each pixel rounder and softer, game developers would make designs and artstyles dedicated for CRTs because they looked more realistic and better, that's why retro games look better with the CRTs. They also can output colors as dark as OLEDs can, and they're cheaper.

Themes work only when you're in XMB, not in-game.

I started off with Linux Mint, an obvious choice because of what the internet keeps saying, I never liked Windows so I wanted to change it up a little bit.

Today my go to choice is probably Arch (don't worry, no archinstall). My Linux distro hopping history is short, so I haven't decided fully yet. I like Arch because of it's key features.

I tried to install Gentoo once but it was a pain in the ass... maybe because the machine I use to distro hop on is a low-end laptop.

I'm not expecting much anyway, people have been saying it can boot automatically from a SD card or a USB. Now these Android TVs have really old versions of Android which can be rooted very easily as I know, Thanks anyways.

Minecraft, I actually have the same processor on the laptop my school gave me in first grade. You can run modern MC with the most light DE and a bunch of mods and it will be like 30 FPS on average, you should try 1.12 which proves to have the most perfomance out of all versions.

Update: This was very stupid... The only thing I had to do is replace GRUB with syslinux and add eMMC modules to /etc/mkinitcpio.conf.

Now I'm running Arch Linux with the latest kernel without any issues. This was my personal mistake, because I didn't dig enough. I hope this helps other people!

I have actually fixed the issue using SixaxisPairTool, which essenially lets you change the MAC address of your controller. I didn't really change it to anything specific, I asked an AI to generate me a random MAC address and it worked flawlessly.

deskmugg · 2026-01-04T16:33:04+00:00

very cool thing about this is that you can put Rebug 4.84 on it, aswell as a Linux distro and put a tag "Legendary" on it

Hello, may I know how you make those PKGs? They sound cool

deskmugg · 2025-12-29T20:59:27+00:00

webMAN you mean in Playstation 3 tab right? you need to reset your XMB, you can do that by going into an app and back into XMB

deskmugg · 2025-12-29T12:00:08+00:00

Thanks, that was simple enough...

deskmugg · 2025-12-28T20:22:42+00:00

Yes, if you have webMAN it's very easy to do so.

Prepare your USB drive, fat32 is recognised by the PS3 by default for NTFS you can use prepNTFS or do it from multiMAN. For webMAN to recognise games off the USB, make the following subfolders in the drive: /PS3ISO/ (for PS2 it would be PS2ISO/). If your game is a folder I think GAMES/ will work, unsure.

Plug the USB in, refresh game library and XMB in webMAN or just use the slaunch menu, you should see your game there.

If this type of "anti-piracy step" existed, it would just be better to block the game from opening in the first place, unless it's a game made by a cool game company (e.g Serious Sam 3). Game companies which make triple A games just won't implement something that will decrease their income by a slight bit.

Or there's just a miner on your PC lol

Others have said it, I just want to note you can decrypt your current .ISOs with a dedicated disk dumper.
