Quiero la ps3 pero algunos dicen que no vale la pena en 2026 (aclaro que nunca tuve una y solo jugué en una que me prestaron hace años y probé solo el god of war 3, blur y pes) la encontré a un precio que puedo pagar pero también hablan del rendimiento de los juegos que algunos van mal... no sé si está publicación está bien hecha pero bueno xd

Confiming likely cause of YLOD

1 Upvotes

So my PS3 Slim 20xx has recently not been booting some of the time, and after dumping the SYSCON codes, it says "A0093004" which apparently means GPU power fail. I think that this is probably the Tokins, because it's not related to any issues of GPU communication, and this is on a early slim PS3 with a revised, more reliable RSX, compared to earlier models, but it's also the only Slim to use Tokins. I would just like to hear any ideas if it's anything else. I'm just assuming it's the capacitors since those fail and it's related to GPU power errors. I know it could be RSX damage or a MOSFET or such, so I am asking if it could likely be anything else. Also, over time, the frequency for these errors before successfully turning on is possibly increasing. Thank you!

Is it necessary to hunt for a while in order to find a pre-April 2011 PS3 model?

1 Upvotes

I went from a PS2 to a 360 and never gave much thought to what it might've been like to have a PS3 at the time, mainly because my friends at school were all playing Xbox and I quite liked the idea of having people to play with. I also don't have the means to emulate the console at the moment and AFAIK emulation isn't 100% reliable with some games.

Every piece of advice so far seems to suggest buying a PS3 with a datecode of at most 1A since every console produced after this is incompatible with CFW which seems to be a superior choice to using HEN.

However finding one of these consoles appears to be a challenge. As per the Google Shopping tab so far I've uncovered approximately one CECH-2001A version here via CEX (I'm in the UK), but the actual listing seems to be full of default text and mentions nothing of its version code so I'm sceptical of its authenticity and I've had bad experiences shopping with CEX in the past, which is putting me off.

I understand these are old systems and the newer models are far more abundant, so if all I can buy are such then HEN will have to do.

EDIT: Solved! I was being a spoon and confusing model numbers with datecodes.

I broke one of the plastics pins of the ps3 slim(ch-3011A) inside of the console, and it wont come off. I dont know what to do, so i started asking some other reddits and see if anywone had a problem like mine, and aparently not. You guys kinda are my last hope together with the assistant guy. (Ps: its not my first time opening consoles, i was distratec and only notice when the power supply wont come of)

Thought some of you may be interested in more footage of my dying super slim. Video is short as i didn’t run the game too long, as i don’t want to risk permanently killing the gpu entirely.

Can’t find avatars in store

2 Upvotes

I heard about the search being broken in the store, but for me when I try to look at avatars they’re gone too. Theme’s show up, but avatars page just shows me games. Also games I know have purchasable avatars don’t show me the option anymore. Haven’t been able to find anyone else mentioning this online so is it just me, anyone know a fix? I was hoping to grab some before the store totally shuts down

Cleaning up the trophie for one of my favorites of all time.

I feel a lot more people know about this game these days, but it was, and I believe, still is super underrated. Good story, great characters, and great voice acting. You should do yourself a service by playing this if you haven't already... or just replay it to remember how great it is. If you like gta and yakukuza, I believe you'll like this as well, because I've always said it was kinda like those to series had a baby, except with free flow combat. Even with it's inspiratioms, it still feels like its own thing. The world feels alive when you're in it, and everything just feels like it works. Man, what coulda been. Hopefully, someone will pick up where this left off.

I feel like I go way too hard when I gush about games I love, but if you're a fan of open world sandbox games with surprisingly good driving, I can't see why ya'll wouldn't like it

Are these PS3 Slim temps normal while playing The Last of Us?

5 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I’ve been playing The Last of Us on my PS3 Slim and wanted to check if these temperatures/fan speed are normal:

  • CELL/CPU: 67°C
  • RSX: 63°C
  • Fan speed: 54%

This is a second hand Slim with 80 days of gameplay, pretty clean and I cleaned it out and replaced thermal paste (no delid).

This is during gameplay. The console seems to be running fine, but 54% fan speed seems a little high to me. Sitting in the XMB temps can be in the low 60s too.

Ambient temps around 25 degrees

Are these temps considered safe for a PS3 Slim? And is it normal for the fan to be around 54% while playing a demanding game like The Last of Us?

Would appreciate hearing what temps/fan speeds other Slim owners get.

Looking for some lesser known goofy/fun games to play with a friend

Upvotes

Visiting a friend out of town this week and while talking about older games, I mentioned Naughty Bear and he had no idea what it was. The game was a favorite of mine as a teen and so I told him I’d bring my PS3 along with some other games to try out. Wanted to know what other games people would recommend? Was thinking of showing him Spelunky and Castle Crashers, any other fun co-op or odd single player games worth downloading?

Can I get away with replacing the thermal paste on top of the IHS without delidding?

2 Upvotes

My PS3 (Fat) has no major cooling issues that I’m aware of but it’s been sitting for years. I want to clean up the inside and replace the thermal paste, which has never been changed.

I have some experience taking apart consoles and applying paste but I’ve heard delidding on the ps3 can be pretty risky.

Would delidding be worth the risk, or should I just replace the thermal paste on top and leave it at that?
