PS1/2 What is currently possible with a PS3?

[delta123]

with avi's a majority of it will run, but you get a few that will not. its because some avi's require a new codec, or some have GMC or Qpel. something that avi recomp

Unfortunately, no. Linux has restricted access to the hardware acceleration in the RSX. :/

anything that the ps3 doesn't play dealing with media can be streamed to it using ps3 media server its really good if you have at least a dual core pc
the ps2 backups from usb i think all you need is a swapmagic or some other way to run elf files haven't really looked into it cause i have a fat that isn't ps2 compatible

I beg to differ. I have a quad-core and the streaming is terrible.

You need a high-speed modem for a good stream. Otherwise it's mega-choppy. :/

PS2 ISO loading is only possible with consoles with the emotion chip (only US an JP, EU has software emulation)

the modem speed means nothing unless your using wifi cause your streaming it though the network not over the internet i can stream without internet connected into my router and just the ps3 and pc connected so modem has nothing to do with it with ps3 media server now if your thinking about the psp and pimpstreamer than yeah thats choppy google ps3 media server and try that

Whoops, I ment to say router instead of modem.
Not that it really matters, because a router with a slow transfer rate will still not perform well when streaming media to the PS3. A way to counteract the slow wifi transfer speeds would be to use ethernetting. :/ Which is inconvenient if you have to have wires sprawling across the floor.

Just shove it on a usb dongle, or a hard-drive, or transfer it wirelessly if you have that sort of network setup.

Yes, those do exist.
Just head down to a local games retailer, and they should be there. o_o

No, it's not possible.

I heard that the PS3 can only read USB Drives with a maximum of 120GB, and it can't read anything more than that. Furthermore, the only file system that the PS3 supports is FAT32, and that file system(FAT32) can only can have a maximum of 4GB per file. Can someone please confirm if this information is accurate?

That's not correct, my brother has his 500GB external harddrive connected to his PS3 and it reads and works perfectly.

 

[Snorlax]

I think 2TB is the maximum size which is recognized. o_o

 

[honeypa]

Oh, so what file system are you using? FAT 32? And whats the biggest file the FAT 32 can support? 4 GB?
