This, I went to emulation a few years back for older stuff, and haven't looked back since. New stuff, yeah, I'll get a PSwhatevernumberitisnow and a Switch for that cute Zelda butt, but emulation is the way to go for everything older, and primarily for the reason you mentioned. Of course, now there's a single point of failure (my HDD/computer), but at least my stuff is almost all in one place now. Also, backups are good.

Here's the breakdown of my library; I obviously don't have all games, some are compressed, some PS* and GC games are multi-disc, and I isolated either the ROM files themselves, or the .zip files if I didn't need to decompress them to play them.

NES: 189 items, 18.2 MB
SNES: 112 items, 136 MB compressed
GB/C/A: 50 items, 185 MB
DS: 8 items, 960 MB
3DS: 8 items, 6.46 GB
N64: 28 items, 608 MB
GC: 7 items, 10.88 GB
Wii: 2 items, 8.76 GB
Wii U: 2 .wud files @ 24 GB each, 1 loadiine setup at ~4 GB
PS1: 31 items, 13.8 GB
PS2: 105 items, 335 GB
PSP: 26 items, 26.2 GB

Probably almost none worth actually playing if we are being honest here.

I get that imagining that there are lots of really interesting games out there just waiting to be discovered is a nice fantasy that keeps some people's interest in the hobby alive, but the truth is most of the stuff out there is basically worthless half-finished shit, early versions of games that we already have, or half-assed ports. Occasionally we get some mediocre game that was only released in Taiwan or something, but even then these are mostly novelties rather than games you would go out of your way to play if they had been released everywhere.

Compression of disc images is possible, although not very widely adopted. And it's certainly slow to decompress. Assuming there aren't tons of FMVs, a game can usually be reduced to a more practical size. Even some PS1 games can be compressed from 600+ MB to just under 100.

Nope. As it says, only games released as NTSC-U. I'm actually still putting the finishing touches on the PX side of things. When its done, it'll be split out much like the others (by continent, with "Other" for multi-region and no qualifier at all for region-free).

Fat PS3s with 4 USB ports have varying amounts of PS2 hardware in them for backwards compatibility. A large selection of PS2 games are on the PSN and work on all PS3s though. All models of PS3 can play PS1 game discs from the respective region of the console.

I see, thanks for the heads up.
There's a seller that sells pre-moded PS3, so it should be on 4.81 CFW, right?
Should I re-install the OFW then re-install the CFW, just to be on the safe side?
Also what about those sites that claim you can play PS2 on PS3 other than the old fat model?

No, they're basically time-bombs. You can repair a fat PS3 100 times and it will overheat and break a 101st time. They're a poorly designed machines, the Slim and Super Slim are the only PS3s worth having. If you want to mod a PS3, you're going to have a very, very difficult time finding one that basically hasn't been connected to the Internet since launch.

There's a lot of good PS2 games on the PSN, but they aren't free. Any site saying it's doable without just buying the PSN games is straight-up lying.

I got insanely lucky and found a Phat ps3 on firmware 3.somethingorother from a flea market a few years ago that was only used for sports and party games. It was worth the hassle of bringing a 13 inch flat screen to the store and checking the system info. Got some weird looks thogh

It's simply unlikely you'll find a PS3 that was never updated, you might, but you probably won't. My advice would be to check your local gamestop inventories using their website, I got one that way, but it was basically broken so I had to return it. The Slim and Super Slim cannot run PS2 discs, it's a hoax. It's handful of PSN PS2 games or nothing on both Slims, or even fat PS3s that have fewer than 4 USB ports.

Well its not exactly a hoax but slim does have some weird ps2 and psp emulators in them for some reason. To access them you need be in custom OS. But they arent really usable since most game wont work with them and those which do run very poorly.

Yes and no.

Yes and no.
>They're a poorly designed machines
Yes and no. They're actually very robust, is the PCB size and the cooling profiles that make them more prone to failure.

Simple stuff like replacing the stock cooling pads and paste will add 15 years to the life of the console.

Putting on CFW with a fan control plugin that doesn't let the console go below 68C will make it last until the fan bearings seize up.

The stock fat PS3s have a gigantic 6 layer motherboard that flexes, shrinks and warps as it heats and cools, and it can loosen the RSX and Cell chips over time.

A proper fan profile prevents this.

No. I don't think so. I believe that the stuff that was made back in the day was actually made to last forever, whereas the stuff that is made today is made to break a couple of years after constant use so that you have to buy a new one. So electronics are becoming cheaper and last a shorter time, just so that these fine gentlemen in their lovely suits can make some money of us.
