probably wouldn't matter.My games are on an external HDD connected to the PC and I use SMB. Is it slower than if the games were on the PC's HDD?

No that's fine......oh and for smb you can also use a raspberry pi with psx pi smbshareMy games are on an external HDD connected to the PC and I use SMB. Is it slower than if the games were on the PC's HDD?

should be. the ps3 and 360 use smb 1.0, which is garbage.And what about to a USB device connected to the router or to a USB device connected to the nano router? Is the SMB speed always the same regardless of the device?

SMB 1.0 and no.........you cannot use opl on a ps3 slim
Yes only for backwards compatible PS3 Fat consoles.........I saw some videos of OPL working in PS3. Maybe it only works in PS3 Fat?

There are 3 PS2 emus in the latest PS3 firmwares:
ps2_emu.self (with USB support) <--- for COK-001 motherboards
ps2_gxemu.self (with USB support) <--- for COK-002 motherboards
ps2_netemu.self (without USB support) <--- for all the other motherboards
COK-001 motherboard have the PS2 EE+GS, so the emulation is made 99% by hardware
COK-002 motherboard have the PS2 GS only (Not the EE), so the emulation is made 50% by hardware
The other motherboards doesnt have the PS2 EE+GS, so the emulation is made 100% by software
OPL only works in the PS2 emus with USB peripheral support (ps2_emu.self & ps2_gxemu.self)
In ps2_netemu.self they removed the USB and network support
And does it require Swap Magic and/or hardware modifications?
I've never installed it personally, but ........yes you need swap magic (maybe Placeholder works with Cobra CFW.....)

What do you mean by hardware modifications......there are none.
PS2 placeholder is what you use when you mount a ps2 iso with cobra....
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)If one needs to open the console and do some changes. I'm asking this because I read the Swap Disc Wikipedia page and it's said for it to work in the PS2 one neda to modify it.
What do you mean? I never used that. I'm able to play PS2 games using webMAN MOD, multiMAN, sMAN, ManaGunZ and IRISMAN.

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
That's why I inserted a 1.5TB HDD to one of my PS3s, another PS3 with 1TB, and the current one I use with 700GB.Because many have already reported that more than 1TB cause stability problems......
and as far as I know, only a maximum of 1.5TB is possible
That's why I inserted a 1.5TB HDD to one of my PS3s, another PS3 with 1TB, and the current one I use with 700GB.
While it's nice to have tons of space, it's better to just have the games I actually want to play than nearly everything.
Yes, no probs, as it doesn't go above the limit.In that case can't you have problems on the PS3's which as a 1.5TB HDD?
Yes, no probs, as it doesn't go above the limit.
With cobra, you don't need placeholder. Just use iso.I thought the logic would be the same.
I don't use webMAN MOD because it always freezes my PS3 but since I have Cobra and use IRISMAN do I use the PS2 Placeholder? I thought the PS2 Placeholder was a separate PKG like IRISMAN, multiMAN, webMAN MOD, etc., but after all it comes Cobra/webMAN MOD?
