lazerfire Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 (edited) Here is a video demonstrating the booting PS2 backups on the PS3 running <snipped>. <snipped> <snipped> First take the torx bolt out slide the face plate off and remove few phillips screws. Take the metal cover off the top of the bd drive. Then remove the top plastic cover and unplug the sensor. Secure it down with a couple screws. Then cut a circle (with a plastic cutting saw bit) on the top cover. Your face plate now slides back over to allow swapping and still keeping the PS3 looking clean. Boot the PS2 DVD and wait for it to load. Now hold the PS button and quit the game. Slide your cover back and push down on the disk secure magnet. It will stop the laser, but not the spinning. swap disks and press circle(jp) X to boot your backup. Swapmagic is only needed for PAL conversion and CD backups. Not that i would do this to play new playstation 3 but its been done and working. only a matter of time before a boot disc. Edited January 16, 2007 by John S.

FreqFace Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 Would anyone really risk doing to this to their new PS3? I sure wouldn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
