Howdy all,
I decided to upgrade my PS3 from Cobra 4.30 (R.I.P) to Rogero / Cobra 4.46 when Cobra went open source a while back. Now when I was on the Cobra CFW with the dongle, I was able to burn PS1 and PS2 backups just fine using my LG DVD + Blu-Ray writer combo. After the upgrade, the backups would no longer show in the XMB games column, and would instead show as "Data disc" in any of the other columns (Pictures, Video, Music). My PS3 is a CECHA01 U.S launch model, and it will load original PS1 / PS2 games just fine, and even ISOs work fine with backup managers + Webman.
I have tried using 3 different burners, an internal LG DVD + CD Writer, an External LG BD + DVD + CD writer, and a Buffalo BD + DVD + CD writer. My old internal Blu-ray writer was sold off with my computer before I moved, so I cannot refer to that to test. I have also tried a mix of Vebratim and Memorex CD-Rs, and a few different types of Vebratim DVD-R discs, with mixed results.
Only once did I manage to get a burned PS2 game to show on my PS3, and then after I turned off the unit and turned it on the next day, the disc was no longer detected as a game. Going into MMCM or Gamesonic Manager will detect that I have a PS2 disc in my drive, but loading it will not make it show in the XMB. Kind of weird, but I can rip the disc into an ISO using MMCM which does work, so I know the data on the disc is fine.
Anyone else ever experienced issues like this? Any advice that I can be given? I am wanting to avoid using internal ISO loading for PS2 games mainly due to the lack of HDD space, and my HDD did crash recently and I lost alot of data.
Thanks
