Hacking Just wondering before I delve into the world of PS3 hacking...

1) with a cfw, you can play ps2 games...all of them?
2) with a cfw, you can play psp games...all of them?
3) with a cfw, you can use remote play...on all of them?


The PS3 has been technically capable of all of this...and they held it back?!?!?!

I'm just stupified...and hunting down a 2xxx ps3 on ebay.

From what I know you can't use Remote Play for PS2 classics because the emulator is using a lot of resources in order to emulate a PS2 game and same thing as a PSP game I believe and the compatibility is so far pretty good but there might be a few obscure PS2 and psp games that won't work right

It just amazes me that the PS3 has so many capabilities and that Sony didn't exploit them. I know many things were exploited by the hacking groups, but just that the ps3 has the cpu/gpu power for a ps2 emulator and psp emulator and that Sony started on that path but then dropped it...it's just amazing

Also in the latest CFWs does the linux install work again?

Yes with rebug tool box

yeah...definitely getting another ps3...at least I don't HAVE to have my old 60Gb repaired now. I can do more on a modded newer unit.

Not to Hijack your treath, but with a Playstation 3 Slim (so without the PS2 chip) is it possible for PS2 roms?

Yes it is possible all you need is multi-man webman and PS2 Classics placeholder and a compatible PS3 fat or Slim that can be hacked

My understanding is yes if you are able to hack it. (model 2xxx. note some 25xx models can't be hacked)

I found this link with a list of PS2 compatibility : http://www.psdevwiki.com/ps3/PS2_Classics_Emulator_Compatibility_List

I did found problem with some games, in particularly DanceDanceRevolution, and with the list, I could confirm that was a problem of compatibility.
