Hey, just wanted to make a correction. You CAN play ps1 games off a usb. You just have to put them in a folder called PSXISO. You can also rip the ps1 disc using multiman with create iso. This is actually better as some games have multiple bin tracks and if not properly merged the game wont play properly.

[stephenking]

never stop making videos! my setup owes a huge thank you to you

[PaJamaican]

Feel like I’ve been waiting my whole life, faithfully upvoting every BL video, in suspense of this moment. Finally, the ultimate PS3 in my sub box…

[davidgill]

Blaine, I noticed you made the same mistake again. You can run PS1 games from USB by putting the bin/cue in the PSXISO folder on the root of your USB drive. If you make your file system like this:
PSXISO
PS2ISO
PSPISO
PS3ISO
GAMES (for games in folder format)
All your games will show up. PS3 games in the games category and PS1, PSP, PS2 in the retro category. Also you don't need to restart to get rid of the disc data, just hit refresh games list. You can also rip PS1 discs using Multiman on PS3.

This looks amazing ...I wouldn't dare to even try something like this. Whoever wins this is going to happy for sure. Love your content ☺️

[rebug]

Brilliant that Blaine 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Don't forget in Retroarch to switch the 'X' & 'O' buttons in the settings as 'O' is 'SELECT' as default. You can also use 'LEFT' & 'RIGHT' on the directional pad to navigate forward & backwards in Multiman 👍🏻

[fatfuckingseal]

I love your videos so much, thanks! many tutorials often skip over small details, which greatly annoys people like me who aren't super tech-savvy but looking to get into jailbreaking etc, but I never see these issues with your videos! they're also nice background noise for when I'm drawing/animating even if I don't own the devices/don't want to modify them. I'm adopting you as my dad now because you're cool >:)

[ajithcrsmes]

My PS3, with cfw, PS3,PS2,PS1, SNES, nes, gba games ..my beast 🤘😁

[JohnSmith-pokl]

Ever since my Personal ps3 died I have been waiting for someone to come along and show how to make the ultimate custom build in analogue pocket style

[RuinedFox]

Ps3 is lowkey underrated and hard to find now around my area and expensive too but great video and thank you for the 3ds homebrew guide

[penniesnnickels]

took me 10 years to get my new 1tb hard drive to work on my ps3 >.< reformatted it twice and dl the firmware multiple times and eventually it started the ps3 format and update! thank you for the guide!

[crispbrent]

Hey thank you for all of the content you produce. Your videos rekindled my love for the PS3.

[maman]

Note to people who want to this, you will need the DS3 for the setup. Tried connecting a DS4 and a fight stick with home button but no dice. All the original controller died sitting around close to a decade.

[loganathanvijay]

Valuable tutorials, keep going. I always watch your tutorials and try that hoping that one day I will be the professional like you.

[JBKShadow]

7:23 Start from here for those who don't wish to install or have already installed an SSD or HDD :)

[BMR]

3 years ago I installed a new HDD to my PS3 Slim, I had it soft modded with PS3HEN for the same amount of years, had a almost 500 gb worth of games there, all jailbroken, it worked great, then a few days ago this HDD died completely! I tried recovering the system a couple of times until the console said it didn't recognize it anymore, well then I got a 1tb SSD this time around, because another benefit of an SSD is that it doesn't have moving parts like a HDD and I feel like that makes the drive last longer, I truly hope this SSD that I just installed lasts longer and works better, it felt like my PS3 ALWAYS struggled with a HDD, you could hear the disk spinning in what seemed like an erratic way, anyway, I already installed 4.90, tomorrow I'll continue this tutorial to see if I can get back to CFW or PS3HEN, I'm convinced my PS3 slim might actually be compatible for CFW.... let's hope so! I love your videos Blaine! awesome work!

[kevinwashington]

My first attempt didn't work following another you tubers instructions....but I'ma start from step one and use your instructions.

[Solid--Snake]

you're a legend dude, never stop doing this

[Dimiblossom]

As a person who has been modding consoles for years, i found this video more complicated.

1. PS3 has a SATA 1.5 controller, which means that it can't use the full speed of SSD's. Your best bet is to use a SSHD or a regular HDD. Also, if you know how to configure, you can install 2TB storage.

2. Copying ISO's and running them from multiman is not very comfortable, you can use digital versions and run them straight from the XMB. ISO versions are disc based versions, which means they will install additional data when you first run run them, also they can cause freezing/crashes. Digital versions are the most reliable.

3. Speaking about PS2 versions, You can convert PS2 ISO to PS2 Classics and run them from XMB (you can add icon/background/music)

[nosherkhan]

Thanks for the tutorial. Installed a new hard drive on my PS3 and got CFW installing on it right now. Fingers crossed!
