PS2 Games not working on ps3 BC console Error 80028F17

Hi guys. I'm looking for some help. I'm on rebug 478.2 and installed the full rebug toolbox but I can't get ps2 iso's or folder games to play. I've been modded since jailbreak 3.41 and have upgraded through Rogero and finally rebug over the years. I can play original ps2 games from the disk but I can't play saved ps2 games. A while back I installed the ps2 classics and was able to play the backups but not any more. When launching the controller looses sync and I get error code 80028f17. I also cannot seem to get gamedata mode to change to see usb drive although ps3 games play fine from it. PSN play fine from internal. I've been looking around for a while but can't seem to find the solution. All other functions and games play fine.

Thanks very much
 
see if u can boot a game through mmcm (multiman with cobra enabled - multiman cobra manager). about gamedata - try ext game data loader which reads as a regular game and can be enabled per game in multiman within the game settings. it can also read dlc from an external drive. u need to place ext game data loader on each usb drive u have. it should be able to differentiate between the drives.

btw, love the username. it's very clever.

Hopefully no one is offended by the username. It is not meant to be offensive, just funny.

So I have tried different settings but currently I have selected in rebug toolbox...
System-normal,debug-cex qa, Cobra mode-enabled, Toggle ps2 emulator-original, toggle webman-disabled.
I try to launch from within mmcm and it goes to the xmb where the ps2 game icon is and when i try to launch the game i get the 80028F17 results.
I did forget to mention that I removed the ps2 classics placeholder because i am BC compatible and the new rebug says it works without it. I'm trying to launch non-converted ps2 iso's or folders.

As for the gamedata function. I have the GAMEI folder on the usb ext drive and even manually copied a psn game to that folder but when I select the Gamedata icon in the xmb it only indicates hdd and never changes to ext. There is also the Game Data.pkg on the usb drive. How do I place the ext game data loader on the usb drive?

Do I have two separate problems here or do you think they are related? i've thought they were related because when I used the ps2 placeholder with the older cfw, I was able to play converted ps2 games and the gamedata icon used to change to ext when I selected it.

Thanks again.
 
@Joonie , may be able to help with the ps2 games not working since he's a member of team rebug. I've not used cobra since 3.55. u don't have any modded files, do u? ps2 games can error if the hashes rn't correct. I just looked up the error, and it seems to be caused by a malformed sfo.

ext game data loader is like an enhanced version of game data tool as it can read multiple drives. u place the game on each usb device, then enable its functionality with each game. for example, u can have ext game data loader install game data to the external hdd its on by enabling it rather than it installing on the internal hdd.

both problems could be related, yes. when did it last work? maybe u should try to see if it still works on the older firmware in which case it's either a firmware issue or an issue with the latest pkg version of game data tool (might not be compatible?).

btw, I don't find ur username offensive. I think it's clever. I believe other staff will feel the same way. u should see how I abuse some of the staff with what I say, but I only do it because I like them a lot. plus, the ps3 scene is too serious imo, so I try to make people laught/calm down a bit.

Well I think you forgot to enable Cobra mode, or swapped your ps2emulator to Original that breaks ISO compatibility.

And about that external game data, you need to use the full version of webMAN MOD

Thanks for the replies. I installed the full webman mod and I am able to install and play some psn games from the external so that seems to work. Thank you very much.
I am still unable to play any of the ps2 isos or jb games. I've tried recopying a couple of original ps2 in both formats and still can't play them. I'm not sure what else to do.
Do I need to re-install the ps2 placeholder even though my unit is BC?
Is it possible my original ps2 emulator is corrupt and causing ill effect? If so, how can i restore it?
I still have both reactpsn and psnpatch installed-could they be conflicting and do I still need them with rebug 478.2?

@Joonie- I do have cobra enabled. I did have ps2 emulator set on original as I thought rebug would use the original emulator to run ps2 games but I must have misunderstood what this setting is for. I have since switched but still ps2 games will not run.
I'm pretty sure I have set all rebug toolbox functions back to defaults but is there anywhere that shows what rebug toolbox defaults should be? For instance in the 010101section and utilities section.
Any other suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks again for your responses.
 
No you need to leave it as Cobra don't use the original setting. This is gonna be your issue most likely. Try rebuilding your database.
 
not likely ur cobra emu files r corrupted. they're replaced when u install cfw. there r three ps2 emu files - one for full bc, one for semi-bc, one for ps2 classics. it's obvious which is which. ps2emu is full bc, ps2gxemu is semi bc, and ps2netemu is ps2 classics. hope that helps.

In 10101010 (...) everything should be disabled, only LV1 peek/poke, and skip ACL checks need to be enabled. If you can play games from disc that mean you are using WRONG emulator files. Should be COBRA instead of ORIGINAL. And cobra mode need to be ENABLED.

Next and very important thing is that you DON'T need ps2 placeholder. You should read release notes for 4.78.2, it states:
"(PS2 Launcher is NO LONGER needed to have wireless connectivity with DS3, Huge thanks to our beloved developer Habib and mysis)."

This mean you should boot game thru disc icon, specially if you have bc ps3.

And last one, if you are using psnpatch plugin then you should read release notes (again):
"Some (few) games may fail starting when mounted by a backup manager after cfw is disabled - this can be solved by mounting those games in ISO format."

I'm getting this error code when booting ps1 classics and minis on XMB, they were working on rogero 4.46 but I updated to rebug 4.80.1 to fix a different issue. Do I need to resign them to a higher firmware or something? I've tried the ess resigner (which worked for a newer psn game) but the ps1 games have eboot.pbp and it doesn't recognise it.
Any suggestions?

This is off topic, the thread was about ps2 game support on BC consoles...
Please, can you create your own thread instead of bumping an old one like this?
