I have a PS3 I've been pondering replacing the paste and fan in, but I was also curious about third party options for cooling if anyone has any experience. Last time I ran it, it got to 77 celcius and I immediately shut it off, haven't turned it back on since. It is a cechp01.

Good idea to change the thermal paste and give the internal a proper cleaning, at xmb I get around high 50 to low 60 and gaming I get around mid 70 , haven't hit 80 even with game like GTA V.
I just don't want it too burn up. Getting harder to find older console capable of real non han cfw

Then again I am using webman fan mod, I have it set to an auto speed of 45%
I'll have to look into that too actually. I redid the thermal paste with as5 last year, but was thinking maybe the fan went out .I'll see what the fan mod can get me.

Fan mod can reduce the temperature a bit for you just dont run like like 100% fan, you will have a fan that sound like a jet engine and blew out the fan so fast, ~40% is good for that.

    also gonna install twilight menu in my r4 flashcard
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    One thing that just occurred to me.... The sound on the 2600 sucked less back then the harsh sound we hear now is from infinitely better speakers we have now, back when the 2600 was new speakers produced a almost muffled sound, like CRTs made old graphics look slightly better.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I wonder if I could recommend that to some emulation devs that perhaps the sound could use some smoothing out to simulate those old TVs
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think a few of the early systems could benefit from that, at least up to the 8 bit generation, by the 16 bit generation I think TVs had gotten a lot better in almost every way

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    For your R4
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    It's old but it's the best firmware out for DS stuff
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    it says it only works for the original R4, R4i Gold (r4ids.cn), R4iDSN (r4idsn.com) and Acekard R.P.G.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    nvm it does support mine
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Just give it a try, but honestly if you have a 3DS you can play DS games without a card just off the internal SD card
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Slightly slower loading but a bit more convenient
