Fat or slim

should i get fat ps3 or slim ps3 Yea Forums? the fat looks a lot more comfy but most of the listings i find are broken
>HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH! GUYS HE ONLY POSTED A ONE WORD RESPONSE! SEE HOW COOL AND ABOVE IT ALL HE IS! YIKES OOF WEW LAD DAMN SON!
Get fucked, get fucked, get fucked. I hope you are destroyed. I want you to be raped, I hate you so much. Fuck you, with every fiber of my being fuck you. Stop posting like fucking girls on this board. Stop responding with one word comments like "yikes" or "oof." This shit is fucking infuriating and it's been going on for way to fucking long.
>"b-but I was just talking like a girl ironically"
Oh yeah, and I dressed your dad up in a wig and fucked him up the ass "ironically." Wow so funny am I right? What irony! Stop ruining this fucking board with this fucking yikes bullshit. Nobody is better for having read a single word comment just saying yikes. That bandwidth could have gone to something better, the net negative value of your comment is such that it is actively destroying the internet one bit at a time. Maybe those pixels that would have been used to say "yikes" on your screen could go to a more worthy cause, like reddit or a facebook group!
>"yik-"
No stop right fucking there. I no you're going to comment back with "yikes," I know you just can't get enough of that retarded shit. I want you to know you're disappointing everybody right now with everything you say. Get fucked. Nobody comes here so they can see the word "yikes" unaccompanied by anything else. If that were the case, they could just get a marker and some paper and write "yikes" on their own time. Leave it by their computer maybe. Fuck you and your yikes.
>"please, st-stop being mean to me"
Then fix your life. Fix how you comment. Maybe fix what sites you go to. Stop with this yikes crap that's just fucking irritating.
Remember this: nobody wants, nobody likes, yikes yikes yikes
You already know the answer.
The fat ps3 has backwards compatibility, or at least the original models do
Cringe
I ain't reading all that, autist
Fat. I own both and a lot of games have issues when played on the slim. This includes infinite loading, freezing, fps drops and black screen crashes. These same games will run just fine on the fat and only have issues on the slim. Also the fat is way easier to open up and clean.
fat because it looks great. i own a slim, i've modchipped it, but if i could pick fat, i'd pick fat
Do you want to play ps2 games? Try & find a launch ps3. Otherwise they had overheating problems and that's why most are probably broken. If you aren't looking to take advantage of the launch fat, go with the slim model
I think all fat 60gb PS3s will die. Mine did. i got a slim and had to heat my PS3 in the oven to bring it back to life so I could transfer the data.
Oof
1st slim model with a freemcboot mem card.
From there either play everything out of burned disc or from your pc tru the Ethernet port.
I like my PS2s like I like my women, thicc and black.
fat so you can use a HDD
wat model is most reliable
Slick
slim are more durable, backwards compatible fats are old and overheat like a motherfucker if you also want to play ps2 games get a ps2.
P H A T
>if you want to play PS2 games get PCSX2
FTFY
Fat for using HDD, Slim for reading discs.
Based
Slim models apparently have better lasers than the fat models, from there just chose if a 7000+(the one from op) or a 9000(some games, mainly ps1 games have problems with this model cuz it uses a different chip)
whatever works for you, I assumed that user was a console pleb but if you can run the emulator and you prefer that, go for it.
What games run badly on pcx2? Specifically?
It's pretty awesome to play ps2 with maxed out upscaling and graphics. Would never get a real one again.
Here is a 9000 for reference.
I think freemcboot only works on bios below a certain point
Based and Yikespilled
If I put a harddrive in a backwards compatible PS2, can I have a self contained console that plays all PS1 and PS2 games perfectly?
Ratchet and clank series, some Yakuza games, I think one of the ace combats also doesn't work.
There is million others that work either on software or hardware rendering and have some bugs
Works like a dream, but maybe only because I have a very powerful PC.
the 90000's internal fan is more efficient than the previous ones, and it runs noticeably cooler than the 70000. That said, it seems to be the most reliable model so far. The graphics are exactly the same and the GPU hasn't been changed at all. The CPU is a bit faster than the previous models, but there's no noticeable difference in performance.
Why is this being posted everywhere all of a sudden, if you're trying to start a meme this is shit.
another good thing about slims is how widely available lasers are
try running gt4, but don't think you're doing well just because one race worked out for you. pcsx2 will murder performance on certain tracks, sometimes only in certain corners, and there is no telling when it's going to happen
Yeah, but you lose on the mem card exploit in some cases
MCBoot works on anything below 9000
yes, all fat models are 100% backwards compatible, you may need to fiddle a bit with MCBoot if you're playing from the HDD, otherwise the games run from the disc no problem.
how is that user ever going to recover?
Nice.
What about PS3? Is there a similar harddrive exploit for it? While I understand wanting to use emulators to make things look nicer, for me I chase as near 100% actual console experience as possible.
You can use a custom firmware on the ps3 and run games from the HDD.
>you may need to fiddle a bit with MCBoot if you're playing from the HDD
You don't really need FMB on a fat PS2, it's just convenience.
fat if you're gonna use a HDD
slim if you're not
What? I have a fat ps2 and the thing will not run anything but original games from the disc unless I use FMB.
I think you can get a disc that lets you swap into burned games/ or imports
pretty rare now tho
ah swap magic, don't even bother, getting one is hard has fuck; using FMB is easier and more convenient.
OPL works without FMB. There's no real reason to be using copied discs if you have a HDD setup.
>OPL works without FMB
You need FMB to run OPL
yikes
You can launch it through the PS2's HDD menu. It's just annoying because you have to scroll down to it is all.
You can use FHDB or even a swapmagic if you have a super new Slim.
slim can be softmodded as well
only the last revision can't be softmodded(the one here )
you only need to be able to launch ulaunchelf or elf in general, and there's various ways.
absurdly, if you have a chipmodded ps2 you could burn OPL on a disc and launch it from there
Okay, whatever.
wtf how do you get opl without fmcb
there's about 3 answers to that in this thread, read it
There's a HDD image online with OPL, ulaunchelf , GSM, etc pre-installed on it.
Just get FMB on a memory card or FHDB on your hard drive and use that, the other options are convoluted.
FHDB is slow iirc. And when the hard drive dies you're screwed.
I did some kind of install where you get ulaunchelf installed to the ps2 somehow? I'll admit it was fucky like you mentioned
that beats the fucking reason to do it FOR FREE
YOU STUPID FUUUUUUUUUUCK!
yikes
This but unironically.
fat because thats the one someone gave me a few years ago.
Saved.
unless you have a friend or someone with an already modded ps2, you still require a small amount of money to get your FMBC card.
you either have to buy it premade from ebay, or use a swap magic to launch the installer, or get 007 agent underfire, and burn a modified copy of it(you need both the original and the copy) to launch the installer.
the only real free way is FHDB, but that requires a fat, and the question was about FMCB
Fat. For you
>calls it a shit meme
>when it's already pulling in the (You)s, including yours
because of people like you this is going to be a new meme.
Lol what are you doing, buddy, writing an essay?
>FHDB is slow iirc
The difference is a couple seconds, it's doesn't matter
>and when the hard drive dies you're screwed.
do a back up? take better care of it? what's your point?
>you still require a small amount of money to get your FMBC card
You can literally download it for free, you only need a memory card and a usb flash drive, it takes like 30 minutes to do, tops. You don't need any of those other things.
slim, I lost my alan wrenches so I can't adjust the laser in the fat anymore
>You can literally download it for free
download what?
>you only need a memory card and a usb flash drive
how, what would be the procedure? because afaik without a way to run unsigned code, you cant do anything.
and if you're talking about FHDB, i already said that i was talking specifically about FMCB and that only FHDB can be done 100% free
>download what?
Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't realize I was talking to a retard.
Please describe a way to download a FMCB kit into any memory card.
assuming you're not talking aboiut FHDB, you can download the FMCB installer, but you need a way to launch it, and to do that you need a way to launch unsigned code, which is either via swap or modchip.
if there's a different way that only requires a USB flshdrive like you said, i never heard of it because afaik there's no way to launch anything from USB without an already modded system
bump
Mama mia, this one's going in my pasta collection
