I'm sorry you had to go through all the hassle you mentioned, but this is incorrect. I have modded multiple (10+) DualShock 3 controllers, including the original CECH-ZC1J SIXAXIS, and one of those even had a dual-layered board with no exposed pads — every single one worked perfectly fine. I...

Can anyone check my SYSCON log? It's a 4011B Super Slim I bought in 2013. I replaced its thermal paste and cleaned the internals some years ago, then it died some months later. It had a bad HDMI port, or at least I think it did, because it had random signal dropping/static on screen/etc. Note...

I had 6 PS3s, all dead. 1 Phat, 3 Slims, 2 Super Slims. I was chatting with a friend yesterday and we were discussing which model of the PlayStation 3 is considered the most reliable/durable nowadays. I know first generation Phats (90nm chips) had BGA and NEC TOKIN issues, even though they had...

Is there something similar available for PSP games?

Hey guys. Recently I asked here about the USB pinout on the DualShock 3 controller so I could mod a USB-C port on it, well, turns out I managed to do it. Here's a quick tutorial on how to do it: I'd say this is a 4/10 difficulty mod, you'll need basic to moderate soldering skills. The worst...

I came to the conclusion that the PS3 is the most unreliable piece of videogame hardware ever developed. I had FIVE PS3s: CECHE phat: NEC TOKIN symptoms (crashing on heavy games with 3 beeps), then YLOD on startup forever. 2K slim: GLOD, stuck on green LED, probably RSX Super Slim: dead HDMI...

I may be blind or dumb as a fuc*ing door but I couldn't find the pinout on the DualShock 3 ps3devwiki page. It has pinouts for a lot of chips and ICs but apparently not for the USB port? I have a controller with a damagedd mini USB port so I'll try and replace it with a USB-C breakout board...

Worked fine, thanks a lot.

Last time I've used my PS3 was around 2019 or something. System software is 4.85 CEX (Super Slim) and as soon as I enabled HEN it automatically downloaded and installed latest_hen_installer_signed.pkg or something. Now it is running HEN 3.0.2. How do I update to the latest 4.87 without losing...

IBM P77 is the CRT monitor I used to test the AV Multi-Out connection. My main display is a Samsung CF591 monitor with a native resolution of 1920x1080. I don't have any other HDMI-capable display to test it, but I am kinda sure that it is not a display related problem, considering it happens...

Not display related considering it happens even when connected to my capture card.

Hello everyone. Recently my Super Slim started to act up. On HDMI, it'll hardly work at 1080p: 99% of time it'll simply black screen once I select "1080p" as an output resolution. If it works, though, it wont be long until it starts showing a lot of white noise artifacts, the same kind of...

The Blu-Ray cable is a very finicky one. I had a fat CECHE01 whose BD drive wouldn't be recognized by the console even though it was perfectly connected to the motherboard. I had to disconnect and connect it more than 5 times for it to finally work. I can't find any explanation to this error...

@Cypher_CG89 so my 1TB HDD has arrived, I've already updated to 4.85.1 HFW with HEN in the old original hard drive. Didn't inserted the new one in the PS3 yet. What exactly should I do to reinstall 4.85.1 HFW + HEN in the new 1TB HDD? Also, should I just quick format the drive through Windows...

You should remarry your Blu-Ray drive to your console, it isn't plug and play. Fortunately for you there's an option for this in CFW. Follow some of the tutorials posted here in the forum so you can remarry them.
