    ps3 Emulator running from XMB [[No Linux!!]]

    lolittle posted this tutorial on how to get emulators running on the PS3 in PS2 Mode, basically you need a 20GB/60GB Backward Compatible PS3 and a SwapMagic Disk:

    What we need:
    Swap Magic Disc (v3.6) - Consolesource sell them
    USB Memory Stick
    A Pc
    A Ps3

    This method only works on ALL PS3's that are capable of playing PS2 games (20/60gb SKU's), and upto firmware 2.40. This does NOT work with NTSC systems.

    [UPDATE]: We have reports that this method does work on 20/60gb NTSC SKU's that are running on firmware 2.10 (Anything above not tested as of now).

    UPDATE : Tested and working on PAL 60gb SKU 2.41
    UPDATE : Confirmed working on NTSC 60gb SKU Running FW 2.41 by ztkratos


    Step 1

    Download This .zip file :: Swap Magic Emulator Files (download via Comments)

    And extract its contents into the root of your USB Memory Stick.

    Thats the easy bit Done


    Step 2

    Put your new USB Memory Stick with the files on into your ps3

    Insert the Swap Magic Disc and click the ps2 disc icon when it appears

    Swap Magic Will now load ... you will have to press your PS Button to use control pad again here.


    Step 3

    Now press R1 + Up on the Dpad simultaneously and a menu should appear.

    Press any direction on the Dpad and then Circle Button to enter Config.

    Press again at default and then in the new list go down to 'MISC/' and press Circle Button

    Go down one to 'FileBrowser' and yes press Circle Button again

    Now the old config menu should appear go down to 'Ok' and press Circle Button


    Step 4

    At this point you have to make sure 'FileBrowser' text is gray by using Dpad directions and pess Circle Buttonwhen it is gray.

    Here go down to 'MASS:/' the go down to 'USBD.IRX' and press R1 and then 'Copy' (press) Circle Button

    Press Triangle Button to go back

    Now go to 'mc0:/' and press Circle Button

    Press R1 and then go down to 'New Dir' and press Circle Button

    Name the new directory as follows

    All American NTSC consoles - BADATA-SYSTEM
    All PAL consoles - BEDATA-SYSTEM
    All Japanese consoles - BIDATA-SYSTEM
    Thanks Aries2k for this info

    then press Ok

    Enter the BEDATA-SYSTEM directory now and press R1 again then paste the USBD.IRX file there by chosing 'Paste' in the box

    Press Triangle Button twice and then the PS Buttonand 'Quite Game'

    Thats the hard bit over, its all plain sailing for now


    Step 5

    Now start Swap Magic Again

    This time hold up on the dpad and then press L1

    This will bring up the choice of emulators Pgen and Snes Station

    Choose the one you want by pressing X Button

    There you have it its all done !!

    All You have to do now is get sume roms for the emulators

    To answer most peoples question :: No you dont have to do the whole proccess each time you want to run the emulators, just connect the USB Memory Stick and go from Step 5


    Please Search around the internet for USB SNES STATION, download it and place it in psxloader directory in USB Memory Stick

    Mod Edit - changed the machines working on to all Ps2's that are backwards compatible form just PAL

    Do the files need to be on a USB stick or could it be a memory card or even the hard drive?

    PS2 Homebrew running from XMB would be a much better-suited title.

    I thought you were talking about PS3 homebrew for a minute.

    How? when u need to use the ps2 swap magic disc, the only way it will happen is if sony do ps2 emulation in the firmware, they prob will in future, now if only u could run a ps3 iso loader through swap magic

    I dont understand why this isn't more popular!?If an emulator can be run why not a buffer overflow exploit?Or what about a TITLE.DB exploit?If the Psp can make .psv files like the Ps3 for saving games why can't we lean how to re-package the .psv save file from the already HACKED Psp?All Im sayin is this needs to be explored more!!I guess you can call me a Noob for asking these questions but as you can see from my post count and my join date I usually dont bother anyone.

    I'm a little suprised theres only 8 posts to this. This is huge! Sounds complicated to me though. I wonder if someone could post a little rar file with all the file stuff done. Im not the most technical and im sure to fluff the set up.

    Its good news though. someone finally got something running on the ps3 that sony didnt release.

    Im sure its been asked before but why dont sony just release a genesis or snes emulator?!
