But I don't know if there's issues with lag or anything, I have no clue how long it takes to transfer the game over the network (I would think slower than a direct USB hard drive connection?), and I have no idea if it even works on the PS3 (I know people do it on the PS2 for those with slim models). I have a PC that's on 24/7 for Plex stuff, so it's trivial to me to have a computer on all day. The third and final thing I could think of was just keeping the PS2 ISOs on my server. I was also considering having "absolute best" PS2 games on the internal drive, and "good" PS2 games on the external, and in the rare instances where I would want to play one of the only "good" PS2 games I could just wait the half hour to transfer it. Does anyone have any experience with this method? However, regarding the limited info I can find on it, people are saying that games stutter during FMV scenes, which obviously I don't want. By using that, I could apparently run PS2 ISOs from an external drive. Supposedly OPL (Open Playstation Loader) which is meant for the PS2, will actually work on the PS3 if the PS3 is one of the OG backwards compatible ones. The whole reason I love this OG launch PS3 so much is because of the full PS2 compatibility and I loved the idea of having virtually every PS1, PS2, and PS3 game "in one place".Ĭan anyone smarter than me (that should be easy) think of a better way that I am not thinking of? Technically you can store the PS2 games on an external drive (there is even a folder named PS2ISO on the external), but every time you choose a PS2 game, it has to transfer it to the internal drive which takes as much as 30 minutes which is crazy. So now I have no real way to put my 1.5TB PS2 collection on my PS3. Oh well, now I have to return the 2TB SSD. This didn't even occur to me because my XBox 360 has a 2TB internal drive and it operates just fine. ![]() Supposedly weird stuff will start happening if a 1, 1.5, or 2tb drive is installed. I ordered a 2TB SSD from Newegg a few days ago without realizing that while it would physically fit in the PS3, the PS3 uses its own proprietary filesystem and that filesystem doesn't like hard drives over 750GB. My fault for not checking!Īnyway, having to run PS2 games from internal isn't ideal because the PS3 has a limit to the size of the hard drive you can install internally. Hackers figured out how to get Gamecube games running from a USB drive on a Wii even though the Wii turns the USB ports off completely in Gamecube mode, so I guess I just kind of assumed the same would have been done for the PS2 by now. The only issue is I completely forgot you still can't run PS2 ISOs from the external PS3 hard drive. I just bought a 5TB external drive for my fat launch BC PS3 (on ReBug CEX) because I want to have my entire PS1, PS2, and PS3 game collection all on one system.
