My old PS3 died. I luckily have access to all the files because I have the ERK, and I've already backed up all the important stuff with Berion's tools. I'm currently using a friend's PS3 and I've created a user with the same name and PSN than the previous one. What should I do before putting my...

Hey, I'm trying to transfer a RPCS3 LittleBigPlanet 2 save file to my PS3. What I understand is that I have to put my RPCS3 profile export into /dev_hdd0/tmp/apollo/BCUS98245, then take a profile export I made inside my PS3, then hit "Import decrypted save files", right? Because when I do that...

Oh, thermal paste under the lid, of course. That explains it, thanks. Yeah technicians at least in the PS3 realm are very "out of touch" for sure. I've seen one guy in marketplace selling a YLOD phat saying that he was told that "it needed thermal paste replacement". Sure bud.

Pressure mod? I don't know what that is. Eraser mod? Hell no. I have a 25XX Slim. I'm calling clamps to the metal bars that tighten the board on the CELL and RSX, heard it around, probably not the right name for it. Haven't tried a delid, but I don't know how that would help exactly. It...

Here in Argentina no one is making the Frankenstein mod, at least that I'm aware of; but there are a couple of reballers. There are these people that charge more or less 60 us bucks for it and seem to do their job fine based on reviews. How much of a good plan would it be to get a backwards...

Hey all. Months ago I had disassembled my PS3 Slim to change the thermal paste, and when I re-assembled it and turned it on it instantly turned fully off. While troubleshooting with the LED syscon code I found the error 3034, so my guess was that I had broken some solder balls and it needed a...

I made a post on Reddit showing the issue with video (too large to post here): https://www.reddit.com/r/ifixit/comments/1qtnvsl/ps4_slim_disc_drive_not_properly/ I'll copy the description from the post: <<The rollers seem to be high enough to block the game from being inserted. Also, you can...

I should report a bug to the FreeBSD guys. For now I can only hypothesize that it's truly just an EXT issue and exFAT or NTFS should be able to work just as fine. That's because they're mounted as different drive types. Notice that on my QEMU script I added the argument media=disk to the...

I've run FreeBSD as root from the beginning, so I don't think that's the issue. Hmmmm. tried this, same result. Though I found there seems to be a weird issue where I can create files inside of the image, but not remove them! This is both for directories and files. For example...

Hey. I made a disk image with dd, then mkfs.ext2 (wanted to be completely sure of compatibility...), then added it to my qemu script -drive file=/tmp/extass.img,format=raw,media=disk \ Now I seem to be able to mount it as # mkdir ps3recovery # mount -t ext2fs /dev/da0 ps3recovery But when I try...

Haha, well that's better! I managed to successfully run FreeBSD by running the command that's inside Expander :D sudo qemu-system-ppc64 -smp 1 -m 1g \ -drive...

I found the comments. I guess they will be helpful once I get the proper netbsd image, as I understand that they describe commands I would use while using the VM; but my main doubt still is what netbsd image I have to get, and where. Also, I see the freebsd image downloaded is in .qcow2 format...

Qué onda, charmed to see an argentinian mod. I guess that's what I've learnt here, pay cheap pay twice. Still, do you think there's any sense to fixing it then selling it? Maybe the reason I'm asking is the need for someone else's experience.

Skip this paragraph if you don't care about the rant. Bought a used PS3 Slim which I was told was perfectly functional and what seemed like an original DS3, via Facebook Marketplace. I wasn't in for much hacky stuff, just some CFW and go play games. First thing I noticed when I got home was it...

Sorry for the noobiness, I tried to do this on my own but my computer literacy has a limit... I've never ran a VM on any arch that's not x86. I need some help setting it up. I got to the 6.0.1 repo: https://archive.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD-archive/NetBSD-6.0.1/iso/ I'm confused as to which of the...
