Hi guys long time scener here blowing off the dust off my old toys thanks to covid... So first off id like to intorduce myself. My og psp scene name was SniperSnake and i have always loved n64 on psp. Now im balls deep into this ps2 port but looking to get it running on a phat ps3 60gb launch. I have it running on my phat ps2, freezing on slim ps2, and obviously running on psp 1001, pspgo w/tv dock and ds3, and on my phat vita. So my next goals are ps3 and ps4. I have a 1.75fw ps4 ive never done anything with but leave it new in box and only turned on to check tbe fw. My question is this... On ps3 whats the best way to go about testing this ps2 port? Swapmadic 3.6+ disc or .iso to load ulaunch off usb? Or complie the ps2 daedalus.elf into a ps2 iso and launch via multiman?

Its never been done. Message me if you need help. I am not gonna do the work for you but I have good background in ps2 and ps3 hacking. I know I had OPL working fine on ps3 back about 10 years ago in when I had OPL server. So I don't see why it would not work.

so so far ive gotten a 60gb ps3 to load the daedalusps2 .elf off of usb via a swap magic iso but the 120gb slim wont launch the .elf off swap magic. so i made a ps2 .iso and made the .elf into a ps2 disc executable (just renaming it) both ps3s will load that with multiman or web man off a disc icon off the xmb. the 60gb will never sow anything, but the 120 slim will get to the menu and show the white square for the box art. i then made the ps2.iso into a ps3 .pkg with a .rif file. same shit just a black screen with a white box. so i think the files need to be edited to load off the respective disc dives instead of usb.. all the files i used to convert are easily found ion the net so me uploading what ive made so far is moot point imo and anyone can reproduce what i did with a couple youtube tuts on making ps2 disc homebrew and ps2 to ps3 classics files and just start with the daedalusps2.elf

I was curious and i tried and got ulaunchelf iso working with webman so thats pretty neat. That being said you could try running a bunch of different versions of ulanchelf you can load with one another. just sayin it might work.
When I tried loading deadalus It booted me back to XMB but I dont have BC.
Have you tried RETROARCH... I think it works pretty good if i am not mistaken.
You can do this!

Legit video. Google is your friend. I guess I am too.

Oh ive google-fu-ed my fingers down to the bone. Ive searched far and wide on psp to ps3 minis. Problem is thats always for legit psp games and ps1 psp eboots and when converting a psp homebrew i got hung up on the eboot.bins or lack ther of when extracting the eboot.pbp for daedalus

https://discord.gg/WcEpu5 made a discord server for the project. So i want to take this to a whole new level and create a from scratch n64 emulator core for retroarch ps3. But also play with getting the ps2 port and psp ports running on ps3 just for curiosity sake

I know Modern Vintage Gamer on youtube did surreal64 on original xbox if that is any help. He is big into modding too... It's seem something he would like to do but he is a busy man...
