Building GTA 3

I'm trying to make myself a GTA 3 CD for my dreamcast. I followed the instructions on the website but it gave me this error upon build

make: *** [Makefile:313: ../vendor/librw/src/dc/rwdc.texconv.o] Error 1

PS2 games look AMAZING on my CECHE01 hooked up to my 4K TV (with smoothing on)

Sometimes I forget that I'm playing Gran Turismo 4 and not 5 lol

PS2 laser replacement update: looks like they already removed the anti-static solder joint for me

Replacing fat ps2 laser

I ordered a laser replacement because my ps2 won't read CD-Rs (neither my custom Music CDs nor PS1 backups) and struggles when loading some legit PS1 discs

I found [this video tutorial](https://youtu.be/xu\\\_x3w0sV1Q) on replacing it, and the guy mentions to remove anti-static solder joints (the ebay listing mentioned this too. I don't have an iron so I'll use snips). I see the 2 joints on the bottom he removes in the video but I see extra ones that aren't on either the guy's old nor new laser, and I'm not sure if I'm supposed to remove those as well

Mechapwn

When I try to change region, none of the dex configurations show up, just "keep current patch", "restore factory defaults", and "install force unlock"

My PS2 games from my ExFAT HDD won't show anymore

I did a wipe and reinstall of Free McBoot because I want to try out Mechapwn, which according to the guide I looked up, needs a mult-region install in order to work

but my HDD games list is empty. I have the latest version of OPL which added ExFat support. Trying to enable BDM. HDD won't show up on block devices either when I go into settings

Want to play PS1 backups/imports. What should I do?

posting this here because the main PS2 sub doesn't allow mention of piracy

 

I have a 5000 fat connected to a CRT, which, without a modchip, cannot play PS1 backups or imports. I want to play a burned copy a klonoa because it's expensive and I can't afford it PS1 backups, romhacks, as well as imported games from Japan

Here are my options:

  • Install a Modchip

Probably the cheapest option, but I have no soldering skills, and it's not a soldering job for beginners afaik. I don't know anyone that can install it for me either (which probably would be more expensive anyway)

  • Get a 3000 fat, which can use tonyhax to run Romhacks and Backups

I could replace my 5000 fat for 1 3000 one and sell my 5000 on eBay to make some money back. I will have to get another memory card to use the exploit. I also will have to get a dongle to keep using my PS2 DVD remote.

  • Get a PS1, which can also use tonyhax to run Romhacks and Backups

I could get a PS1 in addition to my PS2. Either a slim which is cheaper and saves space, or a fat with a parallel port so I can mess with Game shark. I have 6 consoles connected to my CRT via 2 switchers using S-video, but I can just unplug my video cable from my PS2 to my PS1 whenever I'm using the latter. Will be more expensive if I'm adding a console rather than replacing it

 

So, what do you think I should do?

What happens if you put a PocketStation in a PS3 memory card adapter?

Will the Ps3 recognize it? I don't have a PocketStation so I can't test it
