PS2 Emulation lands on CFW PS3s |
Listed in: News Tags: cobra usb dongle, emulator, ps2 emulator, ps3 hacks, ps3 mods
We're all familiar with what software emulators do. They allow us to play some of our favorite classic games without having to go through the hassle of finding our old systems and hooking them up. Typically this type of software is used for older systems like the NES, SNES, or Genesis, but what if I told you PS2 can now be added to that list?
Those of you who follow the scene more closely might be saying "well we can do that already with a dongle or a downgrade," but you will be pleased to know that this new method on PS3 Wiki is completely dongle free! Rather than having to mess about with cumbersome hardware, this actual fix involves a simple replacement of a few key files. If you're up for taking the risk of replacing some of these files on your system, the process is quite simple. According to the readme:
Method (on Firmware 3.55, without! Cobra-USB Dongle or Downgrade) for all consoles (fat & slim).
- Replace following files on your consoles /dev_flash/ with the ones included in this archive p3dwik-ps2compatfiles.rar
- Get into Factory Service Mode (FSM Tool/Dongle)
- Insert your Original PS2 Game Disc
As always be sure to back up your /dev_flash before trying any of this to prevent consequences.

Anyway, I have a release day PS3 and it's been running non stop since they released F@H. Not a single problem with it. Just lucky I guess.

But people are reporting that it buggy as hell. And it does not support backups.
Im not sure its worth it. I have some original ps2 games like FFX, FFXII, Kingdom Hearts 2 and Tekken tag tournament. But I think I'll stick to an emulator for PC instead. That works almost perfect for me
