I also have a CECH4001B "Super Slim" which is less flaky, but that model does not have hardware support for PS2 games. I'm afraid to breathe on it now, let alone move it. And while doing that, the little clip thingy holding the ribbon cable to the motherboard broke. I got it to install through some combination of wiggling the cable and swapping in a mechanically-broken optical drive. (If you intend to dispute this, you'd better have actually seen it running first.)Īt some point, the CECHA01 stopped being able to complete a firmware update, giving error 8002F14E, which seems to mean "your optical drive is fucked, and it is preferable to brick the machine than allow you to fall so far from grace." No working PS2 or PS3 emulator exists that will run on either macOS 12 x86 or Raspberry Pi. I would much rather pretend that this software is software.īecause I know all of you are hanging on every word of this drama, here's where I am on this stupid, interminable project: I guess "buy 3 separate obsolete consoles, one for the downloaded games, one for the PS2 discs and one for the PS3 discs" would technically work, but that's some bullshit. Like, in a non-crazy world, one solution to "this PS3 works except for the DVD drive" might be, "torrent new copies of the discs you own, load those onto a USB drive, and play them off of that." But I don't know if that's even possible. "Play them using a Mac as an emulator" would be ideal, but I will also tolerate solutions of the form, "eBay thing X", "torrent thing Y" and/or "Jailbreak using thing Z". What is the easiest way for me to actually play these things?
