r/PS3

I put together working FPS unlock patches for 103 PS3 games tested on real CFW hardware

I’ve been cleaning up and merging PS3 FPS unlock patches from PSXPlace, RPCS3 patch.yml, GitHub repos, and community posts into one usable pack.

This release includes:

• 39 Artemis patches I personally verified on a real PS3
• 64 more confirmed by Joey85, Nascar1243, and others from the PSXPlace community
• 2,542 extra auto-converted .ncl files in the full USERLIST/ for stuff that hasn’t all been hardware-tested yet

Some of the games included: Uncharted 1/2, The Last of Us, Skyrim, Fallout 3/NV, GTA IV, Killzone 2/3, Resistance 2/3, MGS4, Dead Space 2/3, Lollipop Chainsaw, Deadpool, Sleeping Dogs, Mirror’s Edge, Sonic Unleashed, and more.

You can use the patches in 3 ways:

• Artemis .ncl files
• PS3MAPI live patching through webMAN MOD
• Direct config edits for a few games like Crysis, F.E.A.R. 2, Bad Company 1/2, etc.

What’s different here is that I also fixed a few patches that worked in RPCS3 but had problems on real hardware, and I listed the known broken ones instead of just dumping everything in.

If anyone tests more of these on real hardware, feel free to open an issue with the game, Title ID, firmware, PS3 model, CFW, and results.

Local store was having an anniversary sale ended up getting a lot of ps3 games for my horror and horror adjacent collection and this was another one. Got it for $5. It’s an obscure title seems to be the forgotten Wolfenstein game.

My cherished Frankie PS3 (CECHA) running the game natively and beautifully on my 85 inch Sony Bravia X90L. I still have my 2008 CECHL model that now lives upstairs in the bedroom, and my Frankie is my main PS3 now. Cool thing is this game actually supports widescreen, so I can set the game to full screen unlike others.

PS3 upscaling plus the Bravia XR upscaling makes the game look fantastic on such a big screen!

And yes it’s in a cabinet that has open ventilation on the back and isn’t pressed against the back. The console has space on all sides and runs for hours without issues at all. Heat escapes from the back without a problem and doesn’t build up in there.

So out of the blue my Uncharted 2 saves are not appearing and not usable. Same console, same local and PSN profile, same game disc I used since 2010. I had my save files backed up to the cloud, I redownloaded them, I reinstalled the game data, the patches, I did a file system restore, a database rebuild multiple times, every other game and every other Uncharted game works fine, but suddenly U2 is refusing to use my save files.

If I create a new game save file, I can see 2 Uncharted 2 game folders in my saved data folder… But why? It’s the same region game disc I always used…
What the heck? I have no Idea what the issue is. I even had local USB backups for my saves all the way back to 2018 and even copying those files back does not make a difference…

Some additional information: my hard drive was upgraded to an SSD 3-4 years ago and I migrated my entire game and save library with the official method then, but never had an issue since.
It’s not a big issue, I can replay the game if needed it’s just bugging me. I’m a long time PS3 enthusiast, and I never seen something like this.
Do you guys have any Idea what’s causing this? :/ I would be very thankful!

Picked up a PS3 Super Slim for $25 at a local second hand store. It was in the As Is section. It works like a charm. Just got signed into the Store and even played a PS game already. There is no wear and tear (or dust for that matter) on the console. It was just super scuzzy looking on top and I think they just shelved it because they don’t clean anything up. Also got Infamous and Infamous 2 sealed.

Local store was having an anniversary sale and ended up getting this for $9! Been trying to Collect horror and horror adjacent games for the PS3 and this one is an absolute psychological trip. Haven’t ever quite played a military game like this!

I recently bought a PS3 Untested from a Swap Meet for about $25. I had the power cord and the HDMI cable. I also had bought some games as a bundle. The problem is, when I insert a disk, nothing happens. The motorized disk slot takes it, but nothing. Doesn't even detect a disk. When I eject it, it either (1) gets stuck or (2) it hesitates for 3 whirs and finally comes out slowly. I'm wondering if the disk drive is to blame. Where would I find a replacement Disk Drive and also can any of you suggest where I might find instructions for repairing the disk drive on a PS3 Slim? In case it helps, the model is a CECH-3001A.

my friend said he was gonna bring his ps3 today, so I brought mine and two monitors so we could play PEAK together, it was quite lit indeed

Just rolled the credits on this old title! I remember when the trophy community used to hate on this platinum. Haven’t played this game since 2010! Was a fun little ride! Shotgun is a blast too.

Hey guys i made a post yesterday, i was looking for a ps3 to replace my YLOD one.

I bought one for 25€ and it came with "The orange box" game. A tri game bundle

Do you think it's common?

Never played Red Dead Redemption. I've seen friends play it and always wanted to try it but somehow it never happened. I found a ps3 copy for $5 so I thought better late than never.

Finishing up a platinum run on Hitman WOA, then I’m gonna jump on this one!
