i like the crispiness lol

ah that makes sense. what i ended up doing was using the single file from pop-fe to get past the disc prompt and save. now im back on the original disc two file on ps1_emu because the clarity difference is noticeable enough for me

that worked. Only thing is it doesn't look as sharp as the CUE files. Is there an option I needed to select to keep the sharpness or is that just what happens when it's converted? Smoothing and full screen are off btw

sorry to bump this threat but is there a solution? i have webman, multiman and irisman installed and i dont see any option swap discs while I'm on the MGS screen that prompts to swap discs. I tried using the webman browser to mount the second disc but i keep getting an error to quit the game...

I think I finally fixed my ps3. After removing the NEC/TOKINs from behind the CELL and replacing them with Felix's tantalizer board with all 9 caps, I'm not getting a shutdown in demanding in-game areas anymore. This is kind of a recap of what this ps3 has gone through if anyone cares: got a...

For some reason I could not get the terminals up that way. What worked for me was using a flat-ish tip, resting it on the end of the terminal at 400C, then after 10 seconds use really thin pliers under the terminal and then slowly peel away

I actually managed to cleanly solder another board. Before I tried to add solder to both the cap and pad and then make contact, but then I just added a little solder to the pad and rested the cap on the pad while heating. Some of the solder isn't silvery though. Some are like a dull gray.

How bad of a job did I do? While I'm waiting on the 470uF caps for the tantalizer, I thought I would start on the smaller caps and I don't think I did a good job at all. Is there a way to validate if the connections are solid before I actually solder the whole thing to the motherboard?

Does anyone have any tips on how to remove the NEC/TOKIN terminals from the motherboard pads after the majority of the tokin is removed? I'm practicing removing them from a dead board and so far I've only been able to remove one cleanly and I don't even know how I did it. I removed a couple...

Is it possible to transplant NEC/TOKINs from a different board or is the best thing to not use NEC/TOKINs? I'm very inexperienced with soldering, although I have done it before in college, so I'm looking at using your custom PCB as the easier method. It looks straightforward but have you shown...

I have a CECHE01 that I've de-lidded the CELL and it shuts off in a very specific instance when testing Gran Turismo 5. After playing for between 10-30 min, when I go to buy a car it will shut off. I'm not sure if it has to do this, but the shop screen shows a rotating render of the car and when...

I have interesting developments. I thought I knew what the issue was but not so anymore. I have a spare broken ps3 with an APS-226 power supply and the ps3 that I'm working on has the Z series one. I switched the Z in the working ps3 for the 226 at the same time I delidded and just for shits and...

So delidding again was pretty easy. Anything immediately stand out as wrong with is? Did I not use enough glue?

damn I did re-glue. hopefully its not as much of a pain to delid again cause that is stressful as hell

Hey guys I followed Felix's delidding steps for the CELL and I believe my ps3 is overheating now. After about 20 min in game, I get the 3 beeps with red light. I'm wondering if I didn't use enough thermal paste on the IHS when he says to put the IHS on the heat sink first or if I just damaged...
