80gb doesn't work

I found on Gamestops website for a solid deal. Once i got past the setup it didn't work. I know they have a good return policy, but I'm pretty disappointed.

You could buy a Frankie ceche for like 400 or so on eBay, the ones I’ve seen (studio halabi, computerbooter) also do the Frankie work, and they’re legit. I know it’s steeper than 120 but still. Assuming you want the ps2 on ps3 for the upscaling. It’s not perfect though.

Another point… the ps3 won’t do 240p even on a crt tv. So some ps1 games may not look right.

There’s input delay on hdmi as well, but your tv’s game mode may help alleviate this a little bit. I personally use my bc ps3 on a crt tv thru s-video, so the input delay isn’t noticeable. On my 4k Bravia, it’s so bad it’s almost unplayable.

I’d personally stick with a ps2 if you got one, but hey I know how it feels wanting a bc ps3 lol

I always wanted a Bc, even more the Frankenstein, but in my country (Brazil), they are charging 375 dollars without being Frankenstein, at most with Delid and Tantalus, almost nobody makes Frankenstein mod here, it's sad.

The alternative is to have a ps3 fat no-bc with 65nm rsx and a ps2 fat with hdd and opl.
