PS2 backups running on PS3 via HDD!

A hacker who goes by ifcaro has released his version of PS3 USBADVANCE which allows us to boot PS2 games on PS3 via HDD.

YoMeViet6325d ago

wow really tempted to download this, I have a 60GB model just like his so it would work....but...the risk of getting my PS3 banned for life is totally not worth it since I play CoD4/R2 alot online. Not to mention KZ2 coming out soon. Yep tempting, but no thanks.

Simon_Brezhnev6325d ago

not sure if u would get banned i just think they will do a firmware upgrade

Eromu6325d ago

Need a Japanese PS3 anyways.

Mindboggle6325d ago (Edited 6325d ago )

Cant they make some homebrew that doesnt need a swap magic disc, but as long as they dont pirate PS3 games im not fussed. PS2 software discs are gradually falling in sales and have sold what they are going to, so this isnt really hurting anyone. Plus you can use your original PS2 disc to create backups.

If Sony could make an official way of loading your PS1/PS2 games to hardrives it would be brilliant.

For everything else there is master card. You can buy a ps2 with swap magic for only $150 and that ends all the fuss.

The cost of CogSwap... priceless. Seriously though, its free. ^_^

Japanese console only and a new firmware is coming in a matter of hours.

Kushan6325d ago

The new firmware likely wont fix this. The 2.60 firmware will have been completed weeks ago, long before this was announced because they have to do lots of testing and such. If it IS possible to fix this (As I believe it's exploiting the PS2 stuff), expect it to be fixed with a 2.61 update.

every BR frmware updates had been hacked by slysoft...so we can see now that this updates means s.....

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

solideagle17d ago

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments

"Gaming’s Biggest Fighting Franchise"

Press X to (seriously) doubt.

DarXyde24d ago

Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.

Soy25d ago

And then MK1 killed it again.

DivineHand12524d ago (Edited 24d ago )

15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.
