in my ps3 manual is says you can only play NTSC-J PS2 format discs
So i think my PS3 is a NTSC one
so what version of swap magic do i need?
The Japan version or NTSC version?

Ass I recall, NTSC-J means japanese. Thus the -J in it.
Japan uses NTSC too, ya know.

OK, call me a looney. Either way, I'm sorry for this off topic. Back to waiting for the PAL version...

Glad I'm not the only one. Yea I sorta went out of topic lol but people like that really piss me off sometimes.

Hey Pelu, finally managed to get past the Buscando part, you just need to make a BEDATA-SYSTEM(mc0) folder and put the .IRX file in there, then boot up the ELF. at least this way you'll see the USB LOADER. I tried a fat-32 usb but nothing came up ..progress at least ^^

Hm, my PS3 sez CECHC4, if I am not mistaken. It is PAL. What does it mean, can I use this method to play PS2 games? or CECHC04 is not the same as CECHC?

[gliitch]

04 is just the region code, sounds to me like thats a launch console, we just have to wait a bit longer until someone figures out how to make backups work on a pal. Is yours 60 or 40GB
grimlord?

[grimlord]

It's 60 gb. I understand it does not work on PAL consoles, but in this FAQ it sez it works on "CECHC" consoles. Does that mean on all CECHC consoles except the PAL ones?
How is it possible that I have a launch console? I bought it a year ago. Or it doesn't matter when I bought it? Does CECHC04 means my PS3 has EE? I thought it was emulated on all EUR 60 GB models...
Oh and, I am wondering is it 100% safe to update to the latest firmware?

[gliitch]

I have the latest firmware installed which is 2.60(but check with the mods to see if its safe) more then likely it is. I can bring up the usb loader.

It is emulated in all PAL ps3's.
It doesn't matter when you bought i don't think that is an issue.
04 is an EU one which doesn't have the EE Chip in them.

Have you tried loading the USBloader?

Hope this helps

[grimlord]

I... I don't know. lol
We'll see when the PAL loader comes out.
Thanx for your answer. I simply can't wait for the PAL loader... Oh well, I guess I'll have to think about some other stuff, like life, for some time... lol

[gliitch]

Hehe, No problemo Oh, I have an EU ps3, the loader works it just doesn't detect the HDD. I'll keep checking every now and then, who knows something might come up :D
