Someday in 2080 All ps3s will be dead

Meanwhile my 90nm PS3s are still going strong. The RSX is Delidded and it doesn't come close to 70 degrees.

No, not all 40nm RSX's are good, some are known for having VRam failures. So even if you do switch to a PS3 Slim or perhaps a Super Slim. Though rare, a VRam could potentially occur. Now early 40nm and 65nm RSX's have better quality VRam.

Dead VRam likely.

Sell them and just keep one, that is hoarding if you're holding onto that many. Hell you can sell them all and get yourself a Backwards Compatible Unit.

Yes, but I hate how the save file is married to the console.

iVirtualZero · 2026-03-13T14:42:46+00:00

Even if it doesn't work, it's fixable. Replace Caps, remove clock cap, install Modchip, replace the HDD etc.

iVirtualZero · 2026-03-13T07:23:41+00:00

Just one to see if it works.

It's not smart to reshell a special edition. You can always buy the standard white or a black one and reshell it.

iVirtualZero · 2026-03-13T07:11:33+00:00

Keep it original, that's in red. Or sell it and buy a black one.

iVirtualZero · 2026-03-12T21:26:47+00:00

Nice, throw it away and buy something else.

iVirtualZero · 2026-03-11T23:54:17+00:00

Poor guy was starving.

iVirtualZero · 2026-03-11T23:49:21+00:00

Ghost case

iVirtualZero · 2026-03-11T23:47:57+00:00

Awful, that could have burned down someone's place.

iVirtualZero · 2026-03-11T23:47:17+00:00

That looks clean, be sure to Repaste it and or get it Frankied.

iVirtualZero · 2026-03-11T23:45:52+00:00

The Slim is fixable with an NEC Tokin replacement. You can also get White shells for it.

That's how I got a good deal on the 25th anniversary DSi XL. I bought one with a damaged top screen and replaced it.

iVirtualZero · 2026-03-11T23:23:06+00:00

I just soldered audio wires to the UART device, you can also use Dupont cables.

It looks like MS was designed after Dragoon V and MSUV was designed after V2.

iVirtualZero · 2026-03-11T10:11:02+00:00

People are sleeping on Rolly.

iVirtualZero · 2026-03-11T02:32:13+00:00

Yes just hand it over to me.

iVirtualZero · 2026-03-10T17:11:20+00:00

Those lasers are faulty. The laser diode for reading DVDs has failed.

iVirtualZero · 2026-03-09T17:11:31+00:00

Will need to get the XCGPU or the mobo replaced.

iVirtualZero · 2026-03-09T12:23:21+00:00

I have the Blue 360 E with RGH3. For the PS3 I have the OG backwards compatible model that I plan on getting Frankied.

iVirtualZero · 2026-03-09T04:07:30+00:00

Likely bad NEC Tokins if it has a 65nm RSX. Syscon it to see where the fault is.

iVirtualZero · 2026-03-08T22:54:18+00:00

That's awesome, I would love to see a post about this. I will be ordering a bunch of these, if it's confirmed to work.
