After switching around three motherboards back and forth between two Blu-ray drives, one of them suddenly began to pull in discs. This drive does not have my console's original BR motherboard unfortunately, but I'm just glad something different happened for once. All other attempts were not...

If I understood correctly the guide on how to remarry (it's on reddit but can't link it here for some reason), it requires CFW when using an entirely new motherboard. I'm still using my original motherboard and switching it to other drives, which is supposed to be a process of merely making sure...

I recently got ahold of two slim Blu ray drives, and after switching my original's bottom pcb to one of the others, I still got the same result. PS3 turns on when discs are placed in front of the drive, but doesn't suck in the discs on its own (I would need to push it in) and all apps trigger a...

Which data cable would that be? Is it the one on the outside on top of the drive's metal casing? If my console turns on by itself when merely placing a disc in close proximity to the drive's entrance, I assume that means its power cable is ok?

Followed the video as close as I could, but still have the same result. All apps lead to a black screen and disc drive still won't pull in physical discs when placed in front of it. If I'm not mistaken, the video is for fixing drives that simply have discs stuck inside them, while mine is...

I first wish to apologize, as I unfortunately made a post about this before in "General Discussion" without realizing the existence of a specific Help & Support section in the forums. My CECH-2001A PS3 gets stuck on a black screen when trying to leave the XMB menu, such as when accessing the...

Finally found the time to switch to the latest beta version (v1.2.0-Beta-2048-17efb4), and I was able to have a play session that lasted FAR longer than any previous ones before the game froze. This latest crash occurred in the middle of a cutscene, unlike previous crashes which occurred during...

Is there actually a way to update MX4SIO and MC2ISO adapters? I have the latter. As for the latest OPL, I'll install it on another memory card in case I want to revert back to my old one.

In case this info is needed, my PS2 is a fat SCPH-50010. I'm using a previous OPL (v1.2.0-Beta-1917-7d786b) which features BDM4. Are the console's and game's regions determining factors in all of this?

Hi, I recently started using my fat NTSC PS2 which has an older OPL called BDM4. I gave Forbidden Siren 2 (PAL version of Siren 2) a shot with an MX4SIO/MC2ISO and it is prone to random crashes outside of gameplay. It might freeze when inside a menu, or in-between cutscenes, or after completing...
