Hardware Any way to play genuine disk games off a usb?

[HaseebTehsin]

Hi, I just got a super slim PS3 and the disk is not spinning, I have a number of games and am wondering if there is some way to load the games off a usb, or access the same games somehow from PSN.

Also, the console seems pretty dirty from inside, has never been taken apart, seals are still on, would opening it up and giving it a wipe create some chances for it to start spinning, the hardware seems ok there are no bumps or anything, just old and not used for long may have caused the issue. Suggestions are welcome.

Thank you for the direction, also a quick question, I am on 4.82 would this have any benefit in doing the above mentioned exploit?

I am on 4.82 would this have any benefit

Compatible with 4.82 OFW


OFW = original firmware, so yes, compatible with your PS3.

Update to 4.85 OFW - Original FW

Install 4.85 HFW - Hybrid FW

Follow steps to install new HEN

Did a few Super Slims last night

NTFS USB and ISO format is real nice on PS3

Any recommended safe way to update to 4.85? (Alright my bad, can easily update via system, I think I should stay back at 4.82 just like on vita I'm on 3.60) and are there any benefits for doing that? I'm reading that 4.82 is also compatible with the exploit...

All the guides now are updated for 4.85, do you recommend updating to 4.85 and then try the exploit? Might reduce mistake chances I guess

Update directly to 4.85 HFW. OFW is not necessary.

Yes thank you, I am following the tutorial from MrMario on youtube, pretty straight forward process, will update once done. Thank you so much guys for the help

Last question, where can I get the ISO for games? since my drive on PS3 doesn't work, I cannot dump the games, would I need to do it on PC or can I just grab the ISO's from somewhere?

 

[zfreeman]

Yes, you can grab them somewhere with an obvious Google search. For dumping, you need a compatible disk drive, dumping software, respective .IRD (http://jonnysp.bplaced.net), and the PS3 ISO Patcher to decrypt the disk image.

done, thank you all. Now looking to see how to play the downloaded games

So just putting it out there... I guess USB blu-ray Disc Drive won't work? Just figured I ask since no one mentioned it.

don't have one, just got the console and some games but no way to play those games, still looking what format will run on HEN

Alright one big question I can't seem to find an answer to, I have the super slim with built in 12GB but no hard drive, how would I go about playing big games like GOW3? Any ideas? have an external hard drive but since no internal hard drive is there I'm wondering how would the game fit it into the 12 gigs?

[HaseebTehsin]

That's the thing, I don't want to install an internal drive (don't have one), I just want to play off an external drive using multiman. Is it possible? Also, can I convert the Folder format games to ISO?

I've been looking around forums but can't find a clear answer to this, some say that we can play ISO off an external drive directly using multiman but I am not sure if it is installed in the external drive or runs it directly...

Alright coming back to this after a long time. I've installed a hard drive in the ps3 superslim console and it is HEN 4.85 on it. I have disks for some games (but since my console's dvd drive is busted I can't play them using the disks) and I also don't have any way to dump the games (as I don't have a dvd drive on any computer). What I did is I downloaded those games off the internet. I am able to run some games with multiman but others just don't work. I am having the following issues.

1. The ISO files show up in multiman but on running them it gives error encrypted/invalid ISO
2. If I dump the contents of the ISO into a folder and run it, multiman mounts it and console returns to the XMB screen on running from there it gives the error 80010017. Can anybody suggest anything on what I can do to run those games? I am mainly having issues in running red dead redemption and The Last of Us.
