PS2 Backups running on the PS3

Here is a short video of someone booting up a PS2 backup game on their PS3.

Note that this method actually requires you to open up your PS3 and void your warranty by soldering a 3-way switch to your Blu-Ray drive in your PS3. This is confirmed working on a Firmware 1.10 PS3 and confirmed not working on Firmware 1.31+.

I don't think too many people are going to risk voiding their warranty for this :)

Diselage6168d ago

You underestimate people, a lot of people who own 360's have so why wouldn't ps3 owners?

shyam1520076168d ago

Well, considering that you still need the original copy of the game to boot the back-up, I relli don't see the point in voiding your warranty.

gaffyh6168d ago

you only need one original game to make this work with all.any backups.

i was tihnking about suing one of the other methods back when i wanted to mod my ps3 but i dont want to anymore, wat im curious is about how did they write that 'confirmed not working on Firmware 1.31+.'... did they waste another ps3 on that???

TheMART6168d ago

So you wanted to start using pirated games?
Sounds pretty lame

BTW Sadiq sounds pretty g@y. I see my name in your avatar, one of my many fans I guess! One of those 35 people that track me? haha

sadiq6168d ago

yes thats right i wanted to use pirated games, sadly bcuz i cant afford ps3 games but i wish to support sony so i will try to buy my games on ps3, it took me 5 months to get my first real game (i bought ps3 in january), resistance (off ebay $34), i also used some proxy methods and got free games like super rub a dub and lemmings, plus my neighbor came over and downloaded tekken 5dr off his account for me, also if u think my avatar is gay then ur speaking for urself too

Diselage6168d ago

Better watch out the Sony ninjas are going to come after you now.

Maddens Raiders6168d ago

cheers

Classic PES For PSN/XBLA?

WENB writes: "What Konami are doing however is asking the question on their facebook page as to which classic Konami title from the past gamers would like to see on both PSN or XBLA. I figured that with so many saying they would love a remaster of a PES5..."

I'm not really sure how it'd work but man I love the idea.

Yi-Long4678d ago

... which is still their best PES game. Brilliant game. I remember scoring screamers from free-kicks with PSV's Alex. He has such a hard shot. :)

mastiffchild4677d ago

As a Chelsea fan who's had the honour of sitting directly in line with a couple of real life Alex free kick blasts I can concur that Konami did , indeed, get that part of his career bang on in PES5! If anything the bugger hit's em even harder these days!

Yi-Long4677d ago

... and is a great defender as well. One of the best there ever played in the Dutch Eredivisie, but sadly he isn't getting as much playing time at Chelsea. Would have been nice if Hiddink would have joined Chelsea :)

I'm surprised one of the other clubs haven't made a move for him (Alex) yet.

KAEM74677d ago

bringing back pes5 or 6 is awesome, i do think pes 6 is the better one, people just have a better/ more fond memory of 5 because the leap from 4 to 5 was huge

Yi-Long4677d ago

... cause on the 360 it didn't have replays(!)

I believe the PS2 version did, but I didn't have a PS2...

Top 10 Gaming Characters You Would Love To Kick Up The Arse

Shadowlocked - It's a rare event, but every once in a while a videogame gives us a character that, whether immediately or over time, we come to loathe. But just who are the worst offenders?...

50 cent need to stick to music bc video games isn't his best genre

I would rather kick bowser b4 princess preach, my god its the same thing with that guy. Always taking some1 else's woman but can't find his own....w8 where them children of his come from. I know bowser can't asexual(basically mean have kids without the need of another person) reproduce. There are more annoying character the Sonic series than tails. Scotty's finishing move, "The Worm" lol I remember that.

hazelamy4780d ago

the thing is with scotty, and the worm, yeah the move, when you look at it objectively, is ridiculous, but what it did have was that the crowds at the shows absolutely loved it.
and you know why? audience participation, that's why he kept that ridiculous move for so long.

when you watch it on tv or in a game, then it is just kinda ridiculous, but tfor the live crowd, it's their chance to be involved.

hazelamy4780d ago

i'd vote for kratos, seriously, the most one note character in all of gaming, maybe a close second to gordon freeman.

of course i'd have to run away very fast afterwards because that guy's a frikkin psycho.

Quagmire4780d ago

I would love to kick Kratos up the ass, what a douschebag.

Master of Unlocking4779d ago

I fully agree on that 50 cent guy being No1. I can't stand that guy, sorry. Neither in agame nor in reality. :(

Boomtown Editorial: Football Rivalries

Boomtown writes: "No rivalry in the world of gaming is fiercer than the one between competing football franchises. It almost mirrors the strength of feeling people have for their club. Crossing the divide to support another franchise is a relatively rare occurrence. There are two major derby matches in the football gaming calendar and they feature a bitter enmity which has built up over the last few years. The first is Pro Evolution versus FIFA and the second is Championship Manager versus Football Manager."
