With cobra, you don't need placeholder. Just use iso.

I know, the other used mentioned it.

I guess he's referring to PS2 ISO Launcher since I can't find any app called PS2 Placeholder. Also, I guess I don't need any PS1 Launcher too since I have Cobra.

You don't need apps for ps1 or 2.

Why are there so many PS2 Launchers? Did they do the same thing (launch PS2 ISOs) or some of them had extra features?

 

[godreborn]

Do you mean backup loaders?

Do you mean backup loaders?

No, but that too. I meant, why are/were there so many PS2 Launchers [or Placeholders (I guess they're called that)] before (I guess) Cobra existed?

 

[godreborn]

Before cobra or mamba , we couldn't use iso, even ps3 iso.

On Evilnat 4.88 via Multiman it says I need to download PS2 Placeholder.

Just the ISO itself doesn't work. I read Evilnat is Cobra-compat or something, but still getting used to it.

 

[godreborn]

Then why were these Placeholders created? The first Cobra versions didn't support PS2 ISOs?

Cobra was closed source with a dongle.

You need to change to mmcm. There's a setting in multiman.

Weird. I use IRISMAN and I don't have that problem and in previous CFW and multiMAN versions I didn't too.

What's the difference between mmCM and multiMAN? Anyway, doesn't multiMAN automatically change to mmCM when running a PS2 .iso?

Yes but your main question refers to the ps3 and not to the ps2. . . . . For example, if you want to exchange the swap magic with a burned game you just have to make slight modifications to the dvd drive to exchange the disc (this is nowadays completely obsolete. . . . because the playback of backups via hdd etc. is a lot more comfortable)
But if you just want to start opl or for example install fmcb on a mc you just need the swapmagic and a usb stick (for fmcb there are also other methods . . .but here it’s just about the principle).

if you use webmanmod etc. your iso is mounted by ps2 placeholder. . . . . . . . . .

But in general you make it too hard for yourself. . . . . . if you want to play ps2 games without big compromises, a PS2 console is still the best option

Those slight modifications were needed for the PS2 or the PS3?

I installed FMCB on a MC without Swap Magic.

PS2 Placeholder or PS2 ISO Launcher (or maybe PS2 Launcher REBUG or maybe PS2 Classics Manager)?

But I can't find updated OPL lists so how can I know if the games I want to play have issues or not? Speaking of which, did the PS1 and PS2 game compatibility increase on the PS3 over the years or it's the same from the beginning? Are there PS3 models more compatible with certain PS1 and PS2 games than other ones?

Also, is OPL more PS1 and PS2 game compatible with some PS2 models than with other ones?

You originally had to buy something to use cobra cfw. Iirc, multiman only reads ps2 isos or ps2 classics, not both at the same time. It's just too old a homebrew. Mmcm is multiman cobra manager. Versions 3.x.x were for cobra cfw when it was closed source. I think TX was responsible for it.

What, ODE?

Only PS2 .isos since PS2 Classics are in .pkg file extension.

I thought multiMAN was one of the best. What about IRISMAN (the one I use)?

What do you mean by mmCM being Cobra manager?

What versions? PS3's OFW ones or multiMAN's?

 

[godreborn]

No, a dongle. Multiman hasn't been updated in years.

I never liked its GUI. It was very bloated and it had that annoying music although I knew how to stop it. Which is the best backup manager for you?

 

[godreborn]

Webman mod is what I use

I was told it's the most complete and the most frequently updated but unfortunately it always freezes my PS3.

May be using too much memory. You can decrease it.

Already did that but IIRC I was told to actually increase it. Even in the previous PS3 I had this problem. I changed the HDD of this one and I still have it. In the previous PS3 I tried formatting it and removing and reinstalling webMAN MOD and it didn't fix the problem.
