Alright so first of all, a composite-to-scart adapter will not improve image quality at all. That adapter you found, which is missing tons of pins as you're saying, is likely just a Composite-on-SCART cable, electrically identical to a regular composite cable. The composite-to-Svideo is the...

Most PS3 games will save automatically. You can find your save files on the PS3 main menu inside Saved Data Utility (PS3). The Card Format Utility is only for PS1 and PS2 games and is never used for PS3 games. When it comes to your issues completing the Aliens games, I've never played these...

Under the CFW tools menu, Select the "Toggle Third Party BT Headset" option in the Basic Tools menu. Not all bluetooth headphones models work, there's not much you can do if yours doesn't work other than using a different headset. Normally, an unmodded PS3 doesn't support bluetooth headsets to...

I have not heard about the H chassis being more reliable than the I chassis, they should both be similar. The only difference is that the I chassis combines the SPU2 and DEV9C into a single chip and has a different clock system. I did some more internet research but didn't find any claims that...

Yes, since you're already on CFW, your console's NAND/NOR memory should already be patched, so you should be able to simply put Evilnat 4.92 on a flash drive at PS3/UPDATE/PS3UPDAT.PUP then run the update from the XMB menu. This is what I do to all my jailbroken PS3s, and I've been doing it...

Use MinVerChk. This is a fake update package that detects your PS3 miminum firmware and tell you if your 2511a is compatible with CFW or not. From my personal experience with jailbreaking around 30+ PS3s, I have noticed that around 75% of the CECH-25xx are compatible with CFW and around 25% are...

Given what you just said, try the Mass Effect games. Mass Effect 2 and Mass Effect 3 are available as standalone, but if you want to play Mass Effect 1 on the PS3 you must buy the Mass Effect Trilogy pack. And yes, for PS2 games, only the early PS3s can read PS2 discs natively (from CECHA to...

Strange. I genuinely tried many different HDD swaps in around 15+ PS3s and they all worked fine for me, so I assumed HDD compatibility wasn't an issue in general on the PS3. So I just got lucky it seems. Thanks for the info, Berion.

That's expected. The PS3 should support all, or perhaps almost all, SATA HDDs and SSDs up to 1TB. After 1TB, that's where you'll start encountering issues so it's always recommended to not exceed 1TB. Your 512GB drive should work without issues no matter what brand it is. I've personally used a...

To update PS3HEN, I believe you must first update to the latest hybrid firmware (HFW 4.92). From there, you may or may not have to reinstall/update PS3HEN itself. I personnaly only use CFW like EvilNat so it's a different process compared to PS3HEN (although your CECH-4301C won't support CFW)...

The correct website should be ps3toolset.com/bgtoolset Try this one, and it should work. Make sure you delete all brower history/cache/etc. before going on the website. If the initialisation doesn't work, just restart the PS3 and do the delete history/cache/etc. again.

Hi there. It really depends on your tastes. All PlayStation consoles have great games. If you specifically want to play Cyberpunk 2077, it's available only on the PS4 or PS5, so you could start over there. I myself own all PlayStation consoles except the PS5, and I have an insane collection of...

Oh. Then I believe your system is bricked. If you already did a NOR/NAND backup (which you should always do), you can use a flasher to de-brick your PS3. Otherwise, I believe this PS3 is dead. If you have the NOR/NAND backup but don't want to flash it, and if you choose to just get rid of the...

The PS3 safe mode requires an original SONY controller. You can't use it with a third-party controller. Just try to get an original Dualshock 3 and the safe mode menu should work with it.

Yes I'm thinking about it. For now I'm still sticking to PATA HDDs like I've been doing for years, but I may upgrade sometime soon.
