👾 Emulation

If you want to emulate games you need to know what’s your PS3 capabilities.

This page is for both routes:

🧭 Table of Contents:

📀 PlayStation 1

All PS3’s are capable of playing 100% of PS1 games with No problem at all, you can even dump them if you want like a PS3 game.

  • You can dump PS1 games like PS3 games. By multiMAN “Once a time” method.

But if you already dumped a PS1 game then you can easily copy it like this:

  • I will use “CTR - Crash Team Racing” as an example.

On your Computer:

  1. Put "CTR - Crash Team Racing.bin" and "CTR - Crash Team Racing.cue" files in: USB:PSXISO\CTR - Crash Team Racing folder.
  • You can use this method for ISO files.
  • To change the game’s icon put the icon in USB:PSXISO\CTR - Crash Team Racing folder and rename it exactly like the game name.
  • All the files: ".bin, .cue, .iso, & icon" must share the same exact name. (The folder is also included)

On your PlayStation 3:

  1. Copy it files to dev_hdd0\PSXISO folder. By multiMAN’s file manager or through Retro column, by pressing the /\ (Triangle) button and select “Copy” option.

💿 PlayStation 2

Some PS3’s are capable of emulating 100% of PS2 games as they contain PS2 hardware. And they are the “Backwards Compatible PHAT” PS3’s. Other models can emulate a pretty good number of PS2 games you can this list to see your game’s compatibility.

  • You can dump PS2 games like PS3 games. By multiMAN “Once a time” method.

But if you already dumped a PS2 game then you can easily copy it like this:

  • I will use “Silent Hill 2” as an example.

On your Computer:

  1. Put "Silent Hill 2.bin" and "Silent Hill 2.cue" files in: USB:PS2ISO\Silent Hill 2 folder.
  • You can use this method for ISO files.
  • To change the game’s icon put the icon in USB:PS2ISO\Silent Hill 2 folder and rename it exactly like the game name.
  • All the files: ".bin, .cue, .iso, & icon" must share the same exact name. (The folder is also included)

On your PlayStation 3:

  1. Copy it files to dev_hdd0\PS2ISO folder. By multiMAN’s file manager or through Retro column, by pressing the /\ (Triangle) button and select “Copy” option.

💽 PlayStation Portable

Sadly all the PSP emulation on PS3 isn't like PS2 games, you can this list for more information about game's compatibility.

  • I will use “Exit” as an example.

On your Computer:

  1. Put "Exit.iso" file in: USB:PSPISO\Exit folder. (You can put the iso file in USB:\PSPISO, the icon is included.)
  • To change the game’s icon put the icon in USB:PSPISO\Exit folder and rename it exactly like the game name.
  • All the files: ".bin, .cue, .iso, & icon" must share the same exact name. (The folder is also included)

On your PlayStation 3:

  1. Copy it files to dev_hdd0\PSPISO folder. By multiMAN’s file manager or through Retro column, by pressing the /\ (Triangle) button and select “Copy” option.

💾 Other Consoles

You can use RetroArch to emulate other consoles that are older, and/or weaker than PS2. As the PS3 doesn't really emulate the PS2 100%, it already contains some PS2 hardware. You can see this post for more information about RetroArch and RetroArch Community Edition.
