A new guide is coming up "[Guide] Convert any PS2 ISO to PS2 Classic" that one will make this one obsolete. I am currently writing and doing everything on my end as well to make sure that when I publish it, there will be almost no chance of error.

Here you can take a look in this spoiler tag, how it is going at this moment:

[Guide] Convert any PS2 ISO to PS2 Classic





Note: This guide will have technical details to a minimum, to avoid confusion. But, assumes that the user knows how to install PKG files on the PS3, and how to transfer files to the internal hard disk drive of the PS3 console.

In this guide you will learn how to convert PS2 games in ISO format to PS2 Classic, making any game playable on your PS3 console.

:: REQUIREMENTS

- PS2 Classic Placeholder PKG
- RAP file to activate the PS2 Classic Placeholder PKG
- reActPSN (used only once, to activate the PS2 Placeholder PKG)
- @aldostools 's ps3tools v2.2.2
- @aldostools 's ps2classic GUI v1.3
- Any PS2 game ISO

All of the requirements can be downloaded here (except the PS2 ISO xD LOL!)

* download coming soon...

:: INSTALLING AND ACTIVATING THE PS2 CLASSIC PLACEHOLDER

1- Copy the provided "exdata" directory to a external USB Storage Device (FAT32).
2- Install the provided "PS2 Classic Placeholder PKG" to your PS3.
3- You will now have a new icon on the XMB, but it is not activated, and of course doesn't have the PS2 game ISO yet.
4- Install the provided "reActPSN PKG" to your PS3.
5- Create a new user on your PS3 called "aa".
6- Log in to the new user account and run "reActPSN"
7- It will restart you PS3 and you can now log back in to your regular user account.

Note: After this step, the placeholder will be ready and you will not have to mess with reActPSN anymore. It still does not have any PS2 ISO that will be done later, keep reading.

:: INSTALLING THE TOOLS ON YOUR PC

1- Install @aldostools 's ps3tools v2.2.2
2- Go to where you just installed ps3tools and run "PKG_ContentID.exe" (as Administrator to allow Registry write privileges) then close it (this will add the "Make PKG..." available on the windows context menu).
3- Install / extract @aldo stool's ps2classic GUI to anywhere you like

:: CONVERTING ANY PS2 ISO TO PS2 CLASSIC

1- Run "ps2classic GUI v1.3" and switch to "Encrypt" tab.
2- Browse your PC for any PS2 game ISO and select it.
3- Copy and Paste this on the Content ID field: 2P0001-PS2U10000_00-0000111122223333
4- On the klicensee field Copy and Paste this: E4E54FD67C16C316F47829A30484D843
5- Click on "Add LIMG Sector" button and on the next pop-up click "Yes".
6- Click "Encrypt" and on the next pop-up click "Yes".
7- Wait for it to finish, a pop-up will come saying its completed.
8- You will now have a new file called "ISO.BIN.ENC" (this is the converted PS2 game to PS2 Classic)

:: TRANSFERRING THE CONVERTED PS2 GAME

There are various method you can transfer the new "ISO.BIN.ENC" to your PS3, where you installed the "PS2 Classics Placeholder PKG", I will mention them here to give you an idea:

Method 1:

Use the "PS2U10000" directory structure provided to make a game update package. You just have to put the "ISO.BIN.ENC" on the "USRDIR" and use "ps3tools" to make a package of the whole directory structure.

If the size of the PKG is more than 4GB then you will have to split it using any of the tools available for that (they must have extension of .66600, .66601, etc... to be installed via multiMAN).

Method 2:

Just copy the "ISO.BIN.ENC" to your external USB Storage Device and paste it on your PS3 at "/dev_hdd0/game/PS2U10000/USRDIR/"

If the "ISO.BIN.ENC" size is more than 4GB then you must use other method.

Method 3:

Upload the "ISO.BIN.ENC" via FTP / multiMAN to your PS3 at "/dev_hdd0/game/PS2U10000/USRDIR/"

NOTE: THIS IS A WORK IN PROGRESS GUIDE, AND WILL BE UPDATED CONSTANTLY, KEEP CHECKING BACK.

SeeYa!

This method is for converting games that haven't been released as PS2 Classics.

Does anyone know if/ why PS2 Classics won't load on DEX? Must they be converted to a DEX package first? Tried to load two classics, both black screened requiring hard reset.

[klewer]

Just tested 2 games (both NTSC)

Freedom Fighters [NTSC-U] [SLUS 20658] - boots, goes in-game, but freezes randomly. I had it freeze on the first cutscene, so I reset the game and skipped the cutscene. The level started, but it froze during gameplay after about a minute.

Sled Storm [NTSC-U] [SLUS-20363] - works perfectly. Just finished a quick race, and I also started the championship mode and completed the first race. Maybe some minor graphical glitches in-game. Nothing that affected gameplay.

[CaptainCPS-X]

LOL, idk why but, my PS2 Classics Placeholder PKG doesn't need to be activated with reActPSN, will need to confirm this xD.

I just uninstalled it, re-installed it and after putting the ISO.BIN.ENC in the USRDIR, it just ran without asking for purchase.

SeeYa!

Finally SW Battlefront eu is working :-) in a few minutes I will test SW Battlefront 2
