"Open PS2 Loader" ISO file - Open PS2 Loader On PS3 with Cobra USB! Non-Backwards Compatible Models Too!

[Spectator]

this is for Cobra owners that want to plat PS2 games off ext HDD, from what I read yes it does work on non BC PS3s (probably same compatibility as from internal with Cobra) also this tutorial is incomplete as I believe you have to patch the ISOs with ESR and put them on the root of a fat32 formatted USB HDD (so there is need for some PC work)

Thanks for explaining it. I was thinking the same thing since im familiar with ps2 using free mcboot+ OPL. Also gives you black screen if you didnt ESR patch the iso before using USBExtreme to transfer it.(Unless ps2 is modded of course, but then its no need for OPL)
Guess i will be buying it then . Could you answer something else? Do i need to transfer the game via USBextreme aghain, or just ESR patch the iso and transfer it to External(or internal?)?

Hi

I would like to know,as anyone made a video for the open ps2 loader on a ps3 slim?!
would be nice to see how it plays on a ps3 slim non-BC

[Al_Jourgensen]

Every PS3, Fat and Slim do have a software PS2 emulator in it. Sony has been working on this so they make more money by selling PS2 game through the PSN.

If you don't know already, there is a method of getting PS2 discs to play on non-bc PS3 systems by using service mode.

Now we can do this without service mode and without needing the disc. I have tons of PS2 games that I still play and waiting for the PS3 HD version of them like the Jak and Daxter series. and Ratchet and Clank series.

helló

what is that metod, please can someone tell me the metod that this guy is talking about?

Thankyou very much for your atencion

Put the PS3 in Factory/Service Mode then insert the original PS2 disc, it's quite easy but you do need a PSDowngrade (PSGrade) compatible dongle (JB device)

i have a cobra thats supposed to be here tomorrow so yay.
i have also read that the cobra supports ps2 isos without this launcher and on non-backwards compatible systems.
my guess is that they used the software emulator found on an 80gb system, but i have no idea.

anyways, the reason im posting, is that i think what most people fail to realize (altho i stopped reading halfway thru page 2) is that this open ps2 loader, lets you boot games thru your home network, off of your computers hard drive, thru a smb protocol (server message block)
ive always wanted this, but i think when my duo3 was installed something happened to my network port on ps2, because my pc could see the ps2, but i could never get them to properly crossover cable together. i had also bought a router and attemped to use normal ethernet cord. even used an old pc with xp cause windoiws 7 is dumb for networking, still no dice. and i had assigned static ips to my whole network.

the ps3 joins a network fairly easily, way easier than a ps2, and you can simply put a bogus proxy (69.69.69.420) and then it wont connect past your home network to the internet so u wont have to worry about updates or spoofing a version.
(EDIT)
The above method to prevent network updating is apparently not recommended if you have stupid/handicapped people who come in contact with your ps3, while it would prevent any network updating from ever happening, if some dummy puts in a new game, then proceeds to hit update, then i guess a spoofer would probably be your best bet.
(/end edit)

long story short this could be very useful.

i dunno if using opl would be wise for the usb loading part tho, as far as i can remember ps2 has usb 1.0 and so it may or may not use the ps3s usb 2.0 when in ps2 mode. thus u will get choppy video and only b able to play certain crap games.

@cannibal20 - If you're not using a version spoofer then you're just asking for trouble if there are other people that may at some point turn on and use your PS3. Just because you know not to update, doesn't mean they will. Also having your ps3 connected to the internet is very useful at times for game/multiman/etc updates. Please don't make it look like you don't need a spoofer. There are a lot of new people on here who don't know any better. I'd hate to see a whole bunch of new posts saying "My sister/brother/cousin/whoever accidentally updated my console - please help"

[cannibal20]

@bahamutlord, i prefer to update my programs myself, sort of a dont fix it if its not broken kind of approach... unless the update for said program actually does something new thats worth it, or something is required for a game to work properly, i probably wouldnt bother.

if the system isnt connected to the internet, how would it update? the updates are deleted off the disc folder before they ever make it to the usb.

it wouldnt ever need to be connected to my network and isnt except that opl is something ive always wanted. nobody uses the ps3 but me, nor would anyone ever put a legit disc into it. nhl 2k7 is in there for good. also i research what games are compatible before i just up and run them. but yeah, i see your point, some people are handicapped. but you gotta ask yourself, do they deserve cfw is they are too stupid to use it properly?

edit: anyways, my post was simply about how most people seem to think openloader is pointless since cobra does the managing of ps2 isos, because they dont know much about openloader and that it can be used for net games (btw god of war 1+2 work on openloader with no lag on a ps2)

i was mainly concerned with a quick and simple solution to not have it connect to internet, but still be on your network. i for one run a clean kmeaw that was installed on a really old system which i formatted first, and i dont feel the need to mess with a spoofer and modify a bunch of files that arent neccessarily that smart to modify. here, ill edit my post above so ppl know better

i was just thinking its way easier to modify a game folder on your computer for a few ps2 isos at a time or whatever than to hook ur ps3s usb device up and transfer them super slow to it. also the usb device could remain only for ps3 stuff so you could have more room/

[bitsbubba]

Spoofer also provides ReActPSN patches & new movies that require a FW update to play

[BahumatLord]

@cannibal20 - I wasn't disagreeing with you or saying you were wrong. The point I was trying to make was that not everyone deletes the update folder. Some people don't know it's ok to do that. There are a lot of brand new people to this - there have been some posting on this thread alone that have little to no idea what they are doing. What I was trying to say is that people might not understand what you were talking about and only take part of what you were saying. You'd be surprised how often that happens. Then they come back and say "so and so said it was ok" even though they should say "I didn't understand what so and so said"

Edit: My previous comment was mainly directed at the new people

Edit 2: A little harsh calling them stupid/handicapped for not knowing. Everybody's learns at different points/ways. What you were talking about may seem simple/commonplace to some of us but is way over the head of some others. Isn't it better to warn people that might not know then to leave them to find out the hard way?

Saying someone doesn't deserve someone because they don't know how to use it "properly" makes you a complete asshole. Being more intelligent than someone wouldn't make you more deserving of anything so try not to be so arrogant.

didn't want to use the words arrogant + asshole but I can live with it

classic, but probably not helping the argument

hello

thankyou for your answer, i can make ps3 jig, with my psp, but, i have a dongle amazebreak....but i cant seem to find the downgrade file that i need to put in it, there are so many...no one could advise me correctly in that point, do you know wich can i use?does the red square stays, while we play PS2 games?

thankyou very much

[cannibal20]

yeah, i see your guys' point. i was being a little ridiculous.

i guess it might be nice to have a spoofer then. i dont know anything about movies on the ps3 and i havent read about reactpsn... so i wouldnt know about that either.

my ps3 has been collecting dust ever since i got the ylod and put my laser into a used system that was unable to read discs. the only games i played was gta4 and i beat a few fps games. but its hard to want to restart the gta after losing so much play time.

i think this program will probably get me back enjoying the console. i was a bit handicapped myself. never did any research and assumed all phat ps3s played ps2 games. i ordered a swap magic coder disc and slapped openloader on a usb. only to find out that it wasnt compatible when the disc arrived. being that i have a hard modded ps2 the swap magic was basically useless to me.

back on topic tho, it would be nice to have that smb folder finally work for me. the ps3 hooks to a network so easily compared to a ps2, and having quick and easy access to the games in your list without plugging or unpluggin anything ever or messing with cords is the whole reason opl works so well imo.

also, i am not sure if im 100 percent accurate, but im pretty sure that as of the newest version of openloader (0.8) you dont need usbextreme format, because they added iso support. altho i do know the names have to be the serial numbers or something, most may wanna read the opl guide to set it up/

don't sweat it man, I've said some things on here that I didn't think about first. I wasn't trying to give you a hard time. It started out I was just trying to point something out to the new people who read what you were talking about and misunderstood it. What you were talking about was a little more advanced than some people really grasp. I got it and so did many others, but I've been around in one shape or form since the '80s. It's just that people who see someone who knows what they're talking about will take a small portion of what you said and take it to be universally true for everyone even though they might not understand what you were saying or why you were saying it. Sorry I called you an asshole

PS2 Iso compatibility on a non-BC PS3 ???

I have never heard such a crock in my life!

This is totally impossible without hardware or software emulation (which PS3 hasn't had for years - it even said so on the side of the box)

Getting sick of BS "News" that is just glorified advertising or at the very worst Vapourware (remember that term? hehe)

Are you completely.... Seriously dude everyone knows that the PS3 has a PS2 software emulator on it.

Explain to me how this is "vaporware" when it is RELEASED AND WORKING!

there's a quick and easy solution to this. Who on here has a Cobra and a non backward compatible PS3? Please test an verify

i got a 40gb fat and my cobra came last night, so i will be testing this in about an hour as i want the cobra all up to date and whatnot and i always read everything first.

but i mean, this is advertised as modding or whatever scene as a first ever on any site that sells the thing. practically why i bought it in the first place.

ill come back once im done messing with it, just got home from work, gotta shower after i eat my chicken first tho

in case anyones interested i will be using this guide to set it up http://psx-scene.com/forums/f267/cob...amcobra-99951/ (Cobra USB Installation Guide v4.1+ (By TeamCobra))
