You need to diagnose the syscon error codes with UART adapter

Thanks man. Although it was made quite in a hurry.

I have no idea. And it is sadly not something I am interested in. You should ask RIP-FELIX

@@calyps0man Alright Thank You Very Much for the reply Calyps0man.

I think RIP FELIX mentioned it in one of his videos, can't remember which one. They are long, but I'd still recommend watching them all if you haven't already - they are super entertaining AND technical. I think it was something like 130-150W, but can't say for sure - don't take this as an actual answer, but I'm sure it goes over 100W. What are your intentions exactly? I don't think there are tools for overclocking the CELL yet. Or do you want to build a custom heatsink for it?

@@vdochev na na na, as I said I just want to measure Cell Wattage, for Example Games that only use The Single PPE Core from Cell should consume way less power Wattage than the Game that uses SPUS or all Spus available for Devs like The Last of Us, Then Measuring the total Cpu Tdp would let us have some at least small notion of how much CPU is being used, for example I suspect GTA IV may only Use Cell PPE as on Pc an Single Core CPU can run the game too but at some 24fps low settings, and at time 2008, there was no really optimization on Spes Code to enable devs to really use the spes with any decent performance.......

@@vdochev yah thanks, I watch all FeliX Videos, he is genial, and yeah for the Original Cell made in 90nm I think is maybe 100 watts as Felix once told me, so you're right.

Unfortunately, Tomb Raider for the PS1 doesn't run on it and Mickey's Wild Adventure crashes everything when you start a game, but other than that they are really good. And don't take this as a complaint, I'm incredibly grateful to have available what the modding community has achieved. I take my PS3 slim with me when I'm away from home because it's the ultimate entertainment machine and for the few hours I have to kill, it is irreplaceable.

​​@@vdochevwhy does tomb raider not run?

@@dm.3145 I'm afraid you'll have to ask someone who is a programmer and maintains this emulator. I think you can get the PSN versions, they are packaged with an emulator that should run them.

@@vdochev It runs for me from a disc, also I made a pkg file so it would use ps1_netemu. Which has a slightly better image quality on HDTV (less pixely)

Alright. Lol

@@calyps0man 😁😁😁

I posted it on psx place forum. Look for the thread called "testing old software emulator". I used the nickname Deadend in there.

​@@calyps0manI found the files, followed your guide and it seems like it works, kind of. So far from the games I tested only Crash Bandicoot WoC and Micro Machines 4 work, very buggy and slow, rest is just stuck on black screen. I still have to test my entire PS2 library but pretty cool experiment nonetheless.

for what?

@@calyps0man mainly for testing, i also test gxemu

No. The memory cards were created and assigned. This emulator cannot see them. Watch my latest vid, you can only use them with cobra dongle.

I thought music adds a bit of atmosphere.

I like the music :/

Alright, glad there was something useful there haha.

And the network adapter detection

Really only if somebody knowledgeable enough about cared enough, maybe then ?

⁠ (edit) yes net emu was patched out as Sony took out the remaining parts of the original emotion engine parts from the board on the 3000a models. Sony chose their ps2 classics emulation over the netemu & softemu & Hardemu on bc consoles & slim models. This is why on slims prior too the 3000a model you can still use ps2 discs, cause all cobra does is open up the compatibility lists to except those games to be played when the console is on a custom firmware with cobra enabled. You can trigger the ps2 netemu prior to launching a game with R1 and or L1 for softemu. If I remember correctly moderators on psx place have a thread on how to mess around with cobra & softemu & netemu.

I wonder what would it be like if Sony just stuck it out on ps3s and wait on the ps4 release I wonder if ps2 emulation would have gotten better and or patches released for many games through software updates and enabling more ps2 games via Ps2 Classics.

I think there is a config that fixes that.

@@calyps0man yeah, I got the config file, I tried different versions of it for different SHO isos and it doesn't seem to work

There are 2, and then there are a few others that barely work.

does MGS3 PS2 Ver runs on CECHE? also, does online play work on ps2_gxemu?

@@V3ditata MSG3 is supposedly glitchy on CECHE and CECHC. I have not tested online support on gxemu but the answer is in the first minute.

there might be one more vid coming up. And then Im done with the softemu. I always feel like im obsessively doing these and probably come across as an autistic fool :D

I'll keep it in mind.

Yea, pretty neat.

With a modded PS3, you can play almost every GTA game. GTA 5, GTA 4, TBOGT, LTAD, GTA CTW (PSP), from PS2, GTA SA, VCS, VC, LCS, III, GTA Advance (GBA), and from PS1, GTA 2, London 1969, GTA 1. The only GTA you can't play is London 1961 (in case someone care about it) which was released only for PC.

I'd highly recommend an early ps3 for that though. I haven't tried all of them, but LCS ran pretty poorly under netemu for me even though it's an official PS2 Classic. It ran fine on my CECHC on gxemu until it died.

@@SterkeYerke5555 Sorry to hear that. I've ran only the main games - GTA 3, Vice City and San Andreas and they ran fine without any issues. Almost like on a real PS2. I did test them for half an hour, though, I have not played them 100% on the PS3.

@@vdochev LCS started lagging for me right after the first cutscene as soon as I left Salvatore's yard. You'll notice soon enough ;). VCS didn't run all that brilliantly either, it's definitely got some annoying framedrops, but it wasn't as bad as LCS.

This is just for fun. Not to resurrect the scene.

@@calyps0man 'Sony's Forgotten PS2 Software?? Emulator on PS3' you sure about that

​@@BMPK If anybody remembers it then good for them.

@@aarraa9671 you have a good point. But cechc also provides a crisper and more detailed look. It is much less blurry than others.

you are right the aspect ratio not right its a shame as the cechc looks noticeably sharper and crisp than the others.

@@denis-florian_0.57 there was one person who claimed he could run it. But I could not . And I dont think you can use gxemu on cecha because the way gs chip is wired is different. On cechc connections go to gs chip and then to rsx. But on cecha it is rsx first and then to gs. I am not 100% sure but I dount it would be possible to reprogram the emulator without source code.

​@@calyps0man so the short answer is no, gxemu is not compatible with cecha. Thanks for clarifying

@@calyps0man how is the speed of USB loading compared to a real PS2 console? Since PS2 has 1.1 USBs while PS3 is 2.0

@@V3ditata I think it was quite slow. But I only tried MX4ISO or whats it called on ps2.

Thanks man, appreciate it.

@@hardwarerepair200 i will check and reply

I am not sure if links can be visible here, but there are a few officially supported games. Nobunaga's Ambition Online and Expansion Packs Final Fantasy XI (disc1=SCUS97266 disc2=SCUS97269)and Expansion Discs SOCOM II: U.S. NAVY SEALs and Related discs included with OPM Issue 87, OPM Issue 88, OPM Issue 89, OPM Issue 90 SOCOM 3: U.S. NAVY SEALs SOCOM: U.S. NAVY SEALs Combined Assault Front Mission Online

@@hardwarerepair200 yes, softemu is very laggy in most games.

I think multiman should be able to rip a ps2 disc to an iso?

@@SterkeYerke5555 actually yeah, multiman can already do that. There isnt much anyone can do with softemu other than test some games and see how badly they run for lulz.

In my opinion, most PS2 games had this ‘vaseline effect’ on original hardware and CRT TVs. Modern emulators like PCSX2 make the graphics too sharp and pixelated, but I might be wrong.

It might be part of the "trails" effect, which you can disable in Vice City's settings. Other part might come from the upscaling. If your TV has good scaler, I would recommend to use the CECHA without upscaling.

It's not just you. That's the early 2000s era of BLOOM, when we were just discovering how to "emulate" lighting. Many games used it excessively to the point of everything on the screen shines. Objects that should reflect light look like they emit light. It looks awful. Some games like Half-Life 2 did it right, though, but others make your eyes hurt. On VC, you can mitigate this effect by turning off trails, but to little extend. It is a PS2 game after all, so low-res blurry textures just come with it, you just have to accept it.

Vice City in PS2 has the blurry effect with trails as it did in GTA3. The PC port doesnt have it

That’s the emotion engine, baby.

As you saw in the video, you can enable 480p or even 1080i upscaling with it. And also you could add game patches. There's not really other good reason to use it over Webman, as you unfortunately can't use the PS2 games which you have in the HDD for Webman, so you must use USB or network share. There's not really benefits with PS3 over PS2 on OPL other than PS3 has digital image (HDMI).
