What's the Custom Firmware you have on it, just out of curiosity?

I think that model is semi-bc. I'm not sure if semi-bc models are compatible either since they use a different type of emulator as well, but I'm only guessing.

Found them, this is the thread when @deank published it, i suggest you to read it entirelly, is the kind of thread that is better to read it a couple or more times:
https://www.psx-place.com/threads/cobra-changes-to-add-full-burned-optical-media-support.12494/
And later the news when the patch was added to cobra:
https://www.psx-place.com/threads/n...-games-media-from-burned-optical-media.12522/
In your CECHE you have the GS of the PS2 (graphic synthesizer a.k.a. the GPU), but not the EE (emotion engine, a.k.a the CPU)
By inserting discs in the drive, either original or burned copies they are going to be booted using the ps2_gxemu.self
The compatibility of this emulator is a bit smaller than the previous PS3 models, but most of the games should work fine
And btw, now we are talking about compatibility you should take a look at this list, for the tests you should start trying with a game from the list that was reported as "playable" and that doesnt needs a CONFIG
https://www.psdevwiki.com/ps3/PS2_Classics_Emulator_Compatibility_List
This way you know your game "should" boot and work normally
You know... if you are doing the tests with a game that is reported as "unplayable" in the list you can burn 400 discs with it and try different things but you are not going to achieve anything... so do the things easy for first tests
Actually, if i remember right, you can burn PS2 games in CD (cheaper for the tests)
And btw... the emulator ps2_gxemu.self have the CONFIG files embedded inside the .self and it cant load them externally
So you are limited to the official configs inside ps2_gxemu.self
Are a lot... but what i mean with this is you cant use the custom CONFIGS with physical discs (either original or burned copies)
-------------------
If for some reason you want to boot a PS2 game with a custom config, you need to convert it to iso, this way is booted with ps2_netemu.self
This is the only PS2 emulator that loads the CONFIG files externally

Rebug 4.84 and the game I'm trying to get to work is Simpsons Skateboarding which is said to work so I don't know why it wouldn't especially since my console has backwards compatibility.
I tried 4x, 2x, and even 1x and none of them made a difference. Every time, I get a black screen then right back to the PS3 menu as though I reset the console.

Does region of your game match region of your PS3? Looking at model you gave us (CECH E01), your PS3 not gonna play PAL games FROM DISC. This is not confirmed yet, but seems to be issue on rebug, and other firmwares (vide: https://www.psx-place.com/threads/cfw-on-a-decha00a.26470/).
I'm not sure that playing optical media is possible at all with cobra patched emulator, i remember that at some point Joonie added non cobra emulators to rebug toolbox, they were required for some reason. Only reason i can imagine is that cobra emus wasn't able to play physical discs. btw. Those still make big confusion on many chats as people try to enable cobra emu, which is done by default.

Please read full thread before you say stuff like that. Op is saying that he got BC ps3 in his first post in this thread.
I tried using the original emulator and still had the same issue with the disc not loading at all and I can confirm that the region is definitely the correct region! I'm trying to play a US game on my US PS3!
Dude try another game and see if the result it is the same....
