Today I took this CECHB00 from the shelf, connected it to my TV with a suspected half-broken HDMI cable and set the Max. Temp. of CELL to 74C in WebMan. I started up the game Last of Us to bring up the temperatures so I see if it behaves differently with PS2 games. But the PS3 didn't want this...

Seems like this is way more difficult than what I am able to do here. :congratulatory: I am watching your videos right now, gave them a thumbs up. Btw this CECHB00 console still works. PS2 playback doesn't work lately. Some GTA games can get to the intro, and that was it, the console still gets...

So, I'm using PSBBN v.2.11, and it works really well, with 256 PS1 and PS2 games at the moment. I'm a noob in this topic, I basically just followed instructions from YouTube, and I also don't wanna dive deep into the program part, I had enough headaches with getting WSL to work correctly, but...

Would I cause just more damage, or would it be worth it blasting the chip with a heat gun? Or maybe it got destroyed by heat when replacing RSX in the first place?

Hello people, I recently picked up a CECHB00 Frankenstein console, with a 40nm RSX installed. It was fairly cheap, because of an issue that can't seem to get resolved by me. Basically, it's the PS2 backwards compatibility, that doesn't work as it should. Most of the time, if I put in a...

I would say around 400-450€ in my country (Austria)

Thanks for the replies. I find it interesting, that a chip this old still works, what's concerning is that the old laser was burnt out, but probably it was heavily used. The PS2 works fine with this chip as of now, and the 400B laser is doing its thing. Interestingly the chip is not FreeMcboot...

I picked up an SCPH-30004R PlayStation 2 for very cheap with a disc read error issue. I replaced its faulty KHS-400C laser with a KHS-400B that I had laying around from a 30003 console, and it reads any disc type. I tried a burnt copy of Grand Theft Auto III, and to my surprise it read it just...

On my mission of resurrecting consoles, I stumbled upon a 75004 that had disc reading errors for just 5€. The other was a 90004 with no accessories whatsoever for just 10€. The 75004 needed a new ribbon and a new laser, so around 25€ was invested. The 90004 with date code 8B (lucky) actually had...

I know it's unbelievable, but I had a similar error when not using an official DualShock controller on my CECHC04. Is your controller a clone?

Nice job, I love these

As I can see this is a chinese clone laser. I bought 4 of these, and all of them were defective. Better get a used laser assembly than this trash lasers, they are not worth anything

I did some research on this chip, and the wiring diagram for SCPH-75004. As I understood the SX pin is responsible for PlayStation 1 games. I found this useful diagram. I checked my mainboard, and I had to find out that the guy who made this job like 15 years ago, changed the SX and Y pins on...

I set it to AUTO, I also tried almost everything, and I get welcomed by the same screen again, so yeah.

Don't worry, someone will eventually restart a service like GTA:OG was, I enjoyed my little time on there too.
