Thread: PS2 Backups running on PS3 via HDD! (USBADVANCE)

It has been a long time since anyone has heard of booting any kind of ISO from the PS3, but hacker by the name of ifcaro has released his version of PS3 USBADVANCE which allows us to boot PS2 games on PS3 via HDD!

His version currently only works on Japanese models (UPDATE: THIS METHOD IS CONFIRMED WORKING ON NTSC CONSOLES AS WELL) but a PAL version is expected to be released soon. PS3 USBADVANCE has been confirmed to be working on the latest PS3 firmware and is available for immediate download.

The program requires the use of Swap Magic to load the ELF file and can be downloaded below:

[UPDATE]: A step by step tutorial is now available here. The tutorial below works with both NTSC and JAP PS3's:

A Video Tutorial would be great, pirate! Maybe you can contact ifcaro!

Sweet I was working on the same thing booting direct from USB stick with LaunchElf.

Once I decompress this elf it will be handy to look at the changes.

Is there an official dev thread for this tool?

damned i wish this would also play on non 60GB units

And how about the original source being linked ??
