i thought the PS3 still had the same analog output as the ps1 and 2? so no hdr or any of that malarkey...
although sony at the time of the ps3 was still rather well reputed in the audio field and their console had a little history of pretty much being the best [generation's media support] player that consumer could buy, by the ps4 that high end audio reputation had mostly faded and the ps4 was no longer best in class either, they cut corners in a major way...
This sixaxis controller
What a joy to lube.
Counting at least 38 Lubrication points.. Especially the trigger, it needs a huge smoot over.
Lubed, the Trigger becomes smoother, especially good for racing games, for a fighting game it wouldn't make a difference.
There's actually quite alot of friction because the surface finish of the steel pin isn't perfect, and it grinds up against the side of the housing a bit as well.
Also the very top of the silicone buttons, you want to lube that, or the plastic part that touches it. Without lube, it pulls down on the button unevenly. In the picture the visible one is L1, the L2 of the trigger is beneath.
You want to lube the top of the silicone buttons for all the of them except start/select/ps
Gotta be careful taking it apart though, very delicate part. especially the ribbons connecting it.
There's a tiny spring on the Thinner clasp side, easy to lose.

180 watt idle .
~190-215 watt during Ridge Racer (native 1080p game)
~180-200 watt during Ninja Gaiden (not native 1080p despite 1080p output)
Phat ps3 is a furnace. No wonder they kept xplodn' on people. What a chonksterShow Image(https://cutekawaiiresources.files.wordpress.com/2018/07/62.gif?w=560)
It seems to have a ~380watt powersupply , so they cut it at ~200 to stay within its highest efficiency band. Makes sense.
So really, ps3 is a terrible AV player, because of how loud it is.. hahahaha
Ok, wth, that' fan (accelerator) module costs more than Adding more fans to the PS3 ??

yeah the fat boy is loud and hotthe original fat PS3 is the only PS3 that have full hardware for PS1 and 2 games as far as i know, all the others are only emulating in software. so you are running a ps1, a ps2 and a ps3 all at once, could explain the power, and noise.
There is a 3rd party fan controller, I got one but never installed it so can't vouch for it yet. The noise on the fats are an issue though, they can spin REAL high. The Super Slim is the 'silent' model so to speak. Somehow has a smaller fan and runs cooler at the same time.
You COULD run it w/o the cover, we used to do that for testing since the lab turns into a damn oven w/ 30+ fat PS3's humming away.
Actually to further clarify, only the Fat 60 and 80GB models had backwards compatibility, the 20 and 40 were not able to play older physical disc titles.yeah the fat boy is loud and hotthe original fat PS3 is the only PS3 that have full hardware for PS1 and 2 games as far as i know, all the others are only emulating in software. so you are running a ps1, a ps2 and a ps3 all at once, could explain the power, and noise.

All PS3 models can play PS1 discs. All have the software to run PS2 games, which is why you can digital dl them, but lack the correct cd drive to play them. It was the multi cd eyes that were very expensive to produce, and Sony saw no point in continuing to support a dead system. PS1 games cost them nothing because the cd type can be read by any cd player eye so they left both software capabilities on all future models. So they can all emulate PS2 w/ software, just not read the discs.
I never noticed if I ever lost it on my 60GB when I had it, but I was pissed about losing the dual boot option we had that Sony decided that no one needed after years of having it. Also once it got closer to the launch of the PS4 my 60GB decided to YLOD on me - so I ended up selling it off for $150 (the guy who bought repaired the issue as well).

YLOD's no biggie, capacitor swap.
But people say fan mod can prevent it ?, but imho, because they're electrolytic caps, YLOD is inevitable, so meh..
Good News,
Ps3 outputs proper 4:4:4 chroma in both 720p and 1080p mode.
I think the Mcable does a good job overall.
It alter saturation and contrast to achieve that wow effect for the buyers. For purists this would be considered distortion, you're re-coloring the game.
For a more native approach, you'd do the post processing AA, but ONLY apply gamma correction, leaving the rest of it untouched.
Have they made a version where it's got user tuning options ?
hmm I've tested it side-by-side with other units not using it and the color saturation doesn't change at all and only seems to affect shadows, lighting, sharpness, and draw distance. It doesn't affect color from what I can see.
I asked them once if they ever plan on improving their current version but they said not at the time. The main issue is it drops signals when it thinks the device powers off, so any game with extended black screens or when you first boot it up, you'll need to reseat the USB part of the cable which is annoying.
Ps3 also haz Initial D to give you that JDM feels.

I think I still have that and the phone/keyfob as well.
Got god'o'war saga.
It's weird, 1 and 2 seems to render in a (windowboxed) black border box, sooooo is it reallllly 1080p
GDI is this that stupid sony cheater scaling again ?Show Image(https://i.imgur.com/HmeSYmM.jpg)
because 1and2 are just upscaled PS2 games, not remakes or remasters
Kratos, not a very nice guy. Hrrrmrmmm..No? Was he supposed to be? :D
No? Was he supposed to be? :D
Honestly I'd be rooting for Kratos. He's just cooler, IMO.No? Was he supposed to be? :D
Kratos fights MasterChief, Who'd win ?
