One of my channel's active subscribers - comrade
massa0003 shared with his favourite jew Iazy Laif, that's me, a great
piece of news - now there is a way to run any old PS2 titles on PS3 by converting
them to PSN games PS Classics. The thing is a made a video not long ago on
the topic of running PS2 games, as I really want to play 3 old titles. Unfortunatelly, I didn't have a chance to
follow my own advice, as my PC perfomance is shallow in terms of graphics,
and couldn't really get decent fps i
n the emulator. So, thank you comrade for
this valuable info. Let's try to figure out how to use it. Get the official tutorial and download the
included files. Two folders are
inside the archive, transfer the contents of folder number one to any fat32
formatted thumb drive. I also reccoment to move the reactpsn pkg
from the containing folder to the root of the drive,
so it will be easier to install it. Plug the thumdrive into your PS3. First, install ps2 classic placeholder. Then install reactps
n. Reactpsn allows to register keys for games
downloaded from Playstation Network. To make it work, create a new user on your
PS3 and name it aa. It should be two letters only, without spaces,
make sure you don't screw up. After you're done, switch to the new user
and launch reactpsn. PS3 will reboot. In my case, the reboot didn't go quite well,
so disk check fired up. Wait
patiently until it completes. As you can see the aa user is now renamed
to reactpsn. You have to do all this only once, so
after
you're done, you may make the console to auto-login as your default user. So, almost everything is ready to run the
PS2 game file, which you have to place at the given path. Here is where the name "placeholder" becomes
clear - it's just an icon in the interface, which
will start the game file linked to it. Let's make one. First, you will need an original PS2 game
disk, which you have to dump to an iso image with any disc utility
like UltraISO. If you don't have
the disc, of course you can
download the iso image, but... well, that's a
good game you want to play, don't you? Hardly you seek to play a shitty game
after all these years, right? So go buy it, they are cheap anyway. Well, you got the iso...either way. Install the converter utilities. The first is Ps3tools, which has a TOOLS folder
inside, where you can find the PKG_contentID file. Run it as administrator, as it makes changes
to the registry...and go fuck yourself. A dll is missing. Download it from the
internet and copy
to the utility folder. In fact, all utilities in this
tutorial require this library, so copy it over to all folders, I won't drag
you attention to it anymore. The program runs now. But as I found out later in the manual, this
is only required to make pkgs, which is like one of
the three availbale options to transfer the game to the console. That means ps3tools is useless, we just
wasted time. You may remove the changes it made to the
registry. The useful utility is Ps2 classics. Run it, go to En
crypt tab, select the
path to your game iso image. In the next two strings enter this very numbers
and them only. These are the license keys we registred on
the console with reactpsn a few minutes earlier. Click Ling selector, answer yes. Then click Encrypt and
answer yes once again. Wait till the process completes. Now there is iso.bin.enc
file in the root of the2 Ps2 classics folder, which you have to copy to your PS3
folder where the placeholder is. The path is /game/PS2U10000/USRDIR/
As we w
on't use pkg, the other two transfer options is FTP upload and USB
drive. Keep in mind that if the file is more than
4 Gb, you will have to split it before copying to the USB drive,
and then join back again on the console, so the FTP method may be the easiest. That's why I won't show it,
but will show how to use USB drive instead. Open multiman and go to the file manager,
and then find the file on the USB drive. Copy it, then go to the PS3 hdd, open GAME
folder - that is GAME, not GAMES, find th
e placeholder folder. There is USRDIR inside, open it
and copy the file there. After copying is complete, exit multiman. Go to the placeholder and try to
run it. As you can notice, everything works. See, I'm using a PS3 wireless controller. Remember that at this point, placeholder runs
only one file with a special name. If you want to play other games, you may either
replace the file with the new game each time, or copy all of them
to the console and copy or rename it on the Playstation 3 itself
. What does this situation tell us? That from the very start, PS3 was capable
of running PS2 titles even without any special chips, and that this option
was blocked by software. Most probably, those Sony faggots - I'm sorry,
I meant Sony marketologists decided to sell you the
same games one more time, as many fans still have PS2 discs in their collections. The worst is that you can't
buy everything, some PS2 titles are just not availbale in the PSN, which makes
said marketologists honorary doubl
e faggots. And the customers have to void
warranty and hack their PS3s to unleash the potential Sony failed to deliver.
Comments
hi thanks for commenting. first, all videos where I speak have subtitles. enable captions in the youtube player to see them. For "more games" question, first watch "PS2 Classics manager" and then "PS2 Classics and Multiman" video. There you should get answers
This is one of the most detailed tutorials I've ever seen, having hundreds of videos this guy obviously has experience. If at least 1/10 of the viewers actually took their time to watch this and do it, then this guy manage to return happiness to over 3,000 gamers. Sure credit goes to CaptainCPS-X for his/her work in the community but I think we should also be grateful that guys like Izzy take their time to make this walk-through videos. So thank you :) Sony Marketing guys can suck it!
see my other videos - PS2 Classics Manager Multiman and PS2 Classics Convert PS2 iso on PS3
I specifically mention required fw version. please watch the video or click the link in the description
Well said my friend. I'm trying this on my PS3 ASAP. Great job making this btw
I dunno that was supa easy for me is aa user changed to react... ? when you run reactpsn do you a fat32 thumbdrive plugged in with exdata folder on it containing .rap ?
Appreciate your kind comment!
yes, it takes the rap from that folder, when you run reactpsn - it copies all raps from that folder and registers them on ps3
if you are on rogero, switch to rebug. Your main goal is to insert thumbdrive with exdata, run reactpsn, and make sure it renames aa user to reactpsn and make sure it installs .rap (license) for placeholder. from there on its simple - you can only screw p converting game image, which is hard. you should also use a 100% confirmed working game for your first run.
I'm not sure what options are you talking about? your display? I my case xmb is in 1080i. When a PS2 game is run, the output is 480p, so the TV automatically switches to this mode and stretches the picture to 16:9. So these are the display settings, not the renderer. And that why so many old titles come with that HD addition to their names in PSN
THANKS HEAPS IV BEEN TRYING TO GET THIS TO WORK ACOUPLE DAYS NOW.AWSOME TUTORIAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
great! see my other PS2 Classics videos, there's been much progress since then
thanks dude for all your videos. i'm on rogero 4.55 and have been playing ps2 games for a couple months now! don't know why people complain about rogero. i've never had a single problem. i think people just can't follow directions and mess up their ps3s
you can only jailbreak a console that is on 3.55 official fw. is it your case?
it will work with any reactpsn as long as you are on rebug. yes, reactpsn is programmed to replace the aa user and nothing else.
Hi already switch to rebug 4.30 myself and it finally worked thanks !!!
No, you're totally wrong. The second profile is just how ReactPSN works. You have to do it only once, then switch back to your own profile and use ps3classics. I hoped I made it clear in the video. And there is this ps2classics manager released only hours ago. It can switch multiple titles, but you still have to install placeholder as shown in this video. Hope it helps.
it works on a cfw'ed console. you can't the two latest revisions, but you can some of the early slims
well it is working now :D figured out you need to use the usb drive closest to the bddrive :D damn noone mentioned thisthy for the great vid !!
I made a video about it. It may be VERY inconvenient for some becasue a) you have to register a separate licence (rap) for each and every game b) many people don't like crowded XMB menus.
