S oi have one old one that wont hold battery but I have plugged in with cord... not ideal. And new DS3 controllers are like $90-$100 on ebay now.... Im finding controllers to be the biggest problem.

This is one of my favorite videos of yours yet! It's fun to learn that I'm not the only one so deep in PlayStation nerdom that I have the memory card adapter and am aware of the recent discovery of the true cause of YLOD. My 60gb launch PS3 succumbed to YLOD back in 2012 and it was devastating; I lost all my saves since launch in 2006. I tried everything to revive it including sending it out to a repair company. All unsuccessful. I finally gave up and tearfully traded it +$100 to Sony for a Slim model + a copy of Twisted Metal. I can't say I regret it because it has been serving me well ever since. Plus, I love its design. The good news is that I managed to get my hands on a CECHE (Motorstorm) model a few years back. It's a bit banged up but it works. I'd like to refurbished it someday to get it looking like new. It's my dualshock 3s that are the real problem now. But the truth is I have no use for PS2 emulation since all the titles I would ever want to play have been remastered for PS3. And I find it hard to play games from that era. Even PS3 games are starting to be uneasy on the eyes. I would always prefer to pay for a good remaster than have regular backwards compatibility. That's why I try to rebuy my library on PC. I just wish Sony would remaster the Resistance trilogy already (Killzone and infamous too).

Thanks for the info! I’ve been going down a rabbit hole for playing ps3, ps2 and ps1 games.

It's cool to see the massive progress being made with PS3 emulation, even if it's still years from being as good as something like Wii U emulation (CEMU is soooo good). And one of the best part of emulation is that assuming the game is one that actually works well, it's a better experience than native hardware. You could run the game at 9 times the resolution and have a crystal clear experience.

Do you take any extra measures to protect the PS3 from overheating and getting YLOD? I used to have an early 80GB model CECHE01 PS3 and it eventually got YLOD after a few years. I was thinking of getting an early model again but I’m worried about reliability. Also did you upgrade the HDD?

Great video! Still looking for one, hopefully I get my hands on one soon.

Good point about the region lock on the PS3's. I'm in the UK and bought the backwards compatible 2 years back and and still love it...a few weeks ago another appeared on FB Marketplace and they were looking for offers...I got it for £15 - (about $20 USA). It didn't come with a power supply or controller but luckily I have spares...anyway after plugging it in and trying several games....I found out that it was the North American model so it's of no use to me now. I would sell it as a stand alone unit but I reckon the shipping to the USA from the UK would be a small fortune due to the weight of it. Keep up the great video's. ;o)

27 years of games is pretty good he's right guys having just 2 consoles to play that many games is a blessing. The PS1,PS2,and PS3 have many hidden gems that will be kept buried because of no full BC on PS5.

Need for speed underground, been wanting to play that game, can't believe I was just thinking about it today and it comes up on this video

Fun fact, I have both the 80gb soft emulation machine and the 20gb hard emulation machine, and the 80gb soft emulation displays ps2 games with a noticeably better/cleaner image, with richer colors on top of that. It’s like, actually a significant difference, and I was considering tweeting images of this out to you sometime Ryan. You’ll have to take my word for it for now, but it’s 100% something to look into if you have the ability to test this yourself. I was curious and did a comparison, completely took me by surprise. It’s a shame it is slightly less compatible.

I was thinking the same thing, mystic! I have a backwards compatible PS3 just waiting for my ps5 :)

This is what I say to people a lot too. I have the entire Need for Speed collection on PlayStation and this was the whole reason I went out to find an original PS3. It was also pretty cool to me that he used a Need for Speed PS2 disc to showcase the backwards compatibility. Luckily where I live there is a store that sells retro games and consoles called Vintage Stock for decent prices. Originally I was going to try and find one online but the prices were ridiculous. I managed to find one in my local store (and they are very rare) and bought it on the spot. It was a 60 GB model. A few months later I was visiting my Grandma out of state and I brought the PS3. I told her that I was now looking for the memory card adaptor. Well there was a little mom and pop shop down the road that sold retro games like vintage stock does, and they actually had one. So my grandma and I went down there and they sold it for only $20. I also managed to snag a PS5 from Vintage Stock. So I can play every Need for Speed game with only 2 PlayStations. I even made a shelf to display all the games and it looks amazing. I got lucky being able to find all of these things IN STORE, especially since I hate ordering online (I've always had a bad experience ordering online). The OG PS3 is amazing, it took the place for my favorite PlayStation, which was the PS2 before. Sadly though Need for Speed (2015) on the PS4 does get the warning message on PS5 that it may not play correctly, and it doesn't. Multiplayer messes up as other players don't show up in the correct places and the AI acts weird. But at this point the only PlayStation I don't have is a PS1, so I've wondered if I should just get one for collection purposes. Vintage stock sells them for only $50. And one last thing about my PS3, it has the COD WaW skin on it. Kinda wish it had the OG black design to match the rest of my PlayStations, which are all OG black models (except for the PS5 of course, that's white).

If you own a capable PC, PS2/PS3 emulators are great option as well. PS3 compability isn't perfect but when it works you can often boost both resolution and framerate.

I just bought a backward-compatible PS3, and now I can play a lot of my old PS2 games, not that I had that many, to begin with.

@@shalindelta7 even knowing there's a BC PS3, the title isn't that clear. Should be "Why you should buy a Backwards Compatible PS3 & a PS5"

I’ve found that a PS2 Slim and PS3 Slim take up pretty much the same room as back compact PS3 on my shelf, so happy to stick with having 3 consoles when I can eventually get a PS5. I’m in the UK anyway so this is the best way to maximise compatibility with my Pal PS2 games.

Just got my backwards compatible 3 now I can enjoy all 5 generation of games on my 8k tv setup already had my ps5 since launch day and I’m so happy finally able to play all my old games aswell as anything new

Great info on that ps3! I have the one with motor storm n never play on it. More a display. Now that I see we can finally fix the problem on that system, I may have to play on her again. Great upload!

Thank god I still have my fat BC PS3. It's the first console I bought with my own money as opposed to receiving it as a gift, etc.

Off topic, but are you going to appear on Sacred Symbols at any stage? Would be great to see you on the show.

Found your channel recently and literally just did this before seeing this video.

The PS3 is so great still to this day it's probably my personal favorite system!

I have my PS2 hooked up to a Samsung plasma tv with component cables at 4:3 aspect ratio and the games looks pretty damn good, although I have nothing to compare to since I can't remember what games looked like on a CRT back in 2001. I am considering buying a back compat PS3 for my PS2 game but one in good condition goes for 250-300 which seems steep unless the quality is much better than my component setup, and I don't think that is the case.

Picked up a backwards compatibility PS3 for £20 from FB market local listing! The person had no idea and it hadn't been touched in years. Goes amazing with my PS5 and PC. I also brought a memory card adapter from a carboot for £1 years ago. It's been sitting in a draw, might look into selling it!

The yellow light of death is interesting as with all the PS3s I got over the years, there's only one that I bought from another person (the rest were bought at stores) and that's the only one that I've had the yellow light of death happen. Every other PS3 I got worked fine for years. I even have the E01 80GB backwards compatible PS3 but unfortunately with the PS2 games I do want to use with it, it doesn't 100% work properly so I'm just using it as a normal PS3 as I have a PS1 and a PS2 for those libraries.

I think that people don't really look back towards older consoles is because it has older game mechanics, new consoles don't only evolve in graphics, they evolve in mechanics, responsiveness, fluidity, synergy, and in term, quality of ease.

The only problem with the backwards compatible ps3s is that the rsx is still very prone to dying. But there is a method that could become avaliable to people with BGA skills to replace the gpu with a more efficient one from the ps3 slim.

I've got the CECHA01 PS3 and I love it! THANK YOU for stating the truth that the CECHA/B models are *not* 100% backwards compatible as so many people hype them up to be! While the PS2 backwards compatible is definitely 99.9% compatible due to it being almost entirely hardware-based (the PS3 still does emulate a few pieces of the PS2 such as its sound chip), the PS1 backwards compatibility isn't anywhere near 99% due to it being completely emulated in software, using a similar emulator to what's featured in the SCPH-750xx and later PS2 Slims which removed the PS1's CPU and replaced it with a PowerPC chip that emulates the PS1 on those models. It should also be known that the PS3 adds about 3 frames of lag to PS2 and PS1 games when you play them due to it deinterlacing and upscaling the image.

Spot on! I thought I was the only one who would think of this myself!

@@dericjames2018 do you mean the original? If so then you’re correct, but it can at least be played on all PS3 models. There was a collection for the PS3 that I think had 2-4 but I heard it wasn’t a great version of those games.

I have the 60GB PS3 beast. I am the original buyer. And the system is every bit my favorite system. Having said that, with the overheating YLOD I have to baby it. I have plugged in a 4 unit fan on the front USB plate. And it is elevated and sits by itself for lots of ventilation. I still play it regularly. Having said that, I stress every time I play it. I have had that memory card adopter laying around for years. Had no idea it was worth so much today.

The best PlayStation setup! I did a similar thing with a Series X and 360. There are around 70 OG Xbox titles on the Series X. Half the OG Xbox library working on the 360, and then using the Series X dev mode to fill in gaps for multiplats that were released on PS2 and GameCube.

This is exactly what I've done! Sometime before the PS5 released, I got myself a used phat PS3 (PAL release version, though), with this exact idea in mind: being able to play pretty much everything from PS1 to PS5 in one room! Also, in case you guys don't have any info on the serial number of a PS3 you might be tempted to buy, check the number of USB ports in the front. The backwards compatible PS3 all have 4 USB front slots!

Please do a proper updated in-depth video on that PS3 early model YOLD issue. It's not just the capacitors. There is an issue with the 80nm RSX. The current best solution to that is to mod the said PS3 with an 40nm RSX from one of the newer models. It's expensive, but it works.

Definitely fucking pricey, l’ve had mine Frankie’d for about 10 days now and it’s been working great. It’s been turned on and off enough to be cycled and to know if something went wrong and it’s been great. I still gotta use it for a while longer to come to my own conclusions on Frankie’s (l have mine on OFW so l can’t monitor temps) but l think it’s the main solution for YLOD plus the time used for it is FAR from needing to worry about the caps.

This is actually brilliant

I believe there still is unofficial PS2 backwards compatibility on unsupported PS3s and I've had some decent success with it although its not nearly as good as the native support. It's still worth a shot if you want to play these older games though
