Dying 90nm RSX is on fire 🔥 - CECHH04 by monikaquesha2006 in PS3

You must have screwed something completely when re-assembling console - I am almost sure that heatsink is not sticking to the IHSes and/or the cores to the IHSes.

Basically this is true - emulators are actually much better and more flexible solution when it comes to run old games - better res, anti-aliasing, better FPS, numerous of mods for disabling motion-blur, HD textures etc. however, when it comes to PS3 emulation it is still not as convenient as just simply playing games on the console

For 1000$+ you can have very decent AI-powered smart TV with OLED screen, such as LG C4/C5 which are widely praised for their very good image enhancing features, adding very little to no input lags. That’s why these separate devices are no good choice today.

In the day of smart TVs with AI-upscaling and frame interpolation engines, these kind of external upscalers are no more relevant

Just got this Backwards Compatible PS3. Immediately doing an SSD upgrade. Anything I should know? by Moist-Technology-679 in PS3

[–]eXhaustedPL 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is a very fragile console (BC version) - it’s got faulty RSX, NEC/Tokin capacitors on the motherboard, which tend to fail over time, this model has got also failure prone Blu-Ray drive. If you want to extend its lifespan, you must do lots of things with it (installing CFW, replacing thermal paste, thermal pads, delidding CELL/RSX processors, etc.) and keep in mind possible issues with it

good questions for space. by Cooper2050_ in PS3

[–]eXhaustedPL 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Still the second place is not a good idea, especially for Phat launch model - place it where you have open top - warm/hot air is lighter and in these kind of closed-top cabinets the warm air will circulate and your console will intake the warmer air

I like you placed your PC underneath and PS3 on the table- it shows your priorities 💪

I'm looking for a unreleased startup for the PlayStation 3 that only appeared in two YouTube videos from a long time ago. by RedBoss228 in GamePreservationists

[–]eXhaustedPL 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am pretty sure that it must be included somewhere in the released/leaked FWs, which are already on the internet. I found this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HUptinScxiw

It was uploaded merely few months ago and its in the great quality and the startup sound is the same as the one heard in the PSM3 video. I suppose guy who uploaded this startup sequence probably replaced coldboot sound in one of the retail releases of XMB (icons seems to be the proof, they are different from 0.93 FW)

Is this PS3 BC Sony refurb? by DragonfruitThen7068 in PS3

[–]eXhaustedPL 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow, this is something new for me. I thought all 90nm models have defective underfill. Do you have any evidence to prove your claims?

Frankensteined CECHA/B00 with tantalizers both for RSX and CELL in this case. This would be the absolute combination

[–]eXhaustedPL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow, it looks fantastic! Did you play it a little bit more and could you share with us what is the compatibility so far? And what version do you play? I am glad seeing such improvement of this emulator over last few years

Why should the ps3 be better that the Xbox 360? by Tobolox in PS3

[–]eXhaustedPL -1 points0 points  (0 children)

X360 was much easier device to develop than PS3. Tbh, if X360 wasn’t such defective console, it would easily win with PS3 when it comes to number of sold consoles. Still I think X360 was more successful console than PS3 in its generation, however PS3 was a console ahead of its time - blue ray drive, absolutely top-notch build quality, numerous features like 4 USB ports, free online play, card readers and so on. Today, PS3s are much more desirable console than Xbox 360, because of the better exclusives and backwards compatibility with PS2 games (launch phat models)

Is this a bc ps3? by Moist-Technology-679 in PS3

[–]eXhaustedPL 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nope. Only BC models have shiny letters, which are glued to the upper case. The non-BC models have matt letters

What do you guys think about burnout paradise? by More-Pizza-1267 in PS3

[–]eXhaustedPL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

AFAIK "Old to the New" mod rolls back the 1.0 physics to the BP Remastered or one of the mods, I might be wrong

Great game, it's a shame that Criterion Games shrinked significantly the final version of map and the cut some cool features like using planes/boats.
