>download pre-converted games
Devils-Shadow, PSPISO, etc.




***PS3 Modding***

>For PS3 modding:
>You can only mod a PS3 that can is on FW 3.55 - you can't downgrade a PS3 to below its factory FW (so if a PS3 was sold with 3.70 already on it you can't use any firmware lower than that, even with a flasher).
>If you have a PS3 that has been on FW 3.55 or lower, but is now on an OFW higher than 3.55, you have to downgrade it using a flasher (use either Progskeet or E3 flasher) they run about $70-80.
>Once you're on FW 3.55, you can install CFW. From there you can either stay on CFW and use modified patches to play new games, but you'll only have limited access to PSN - or, and here's what you should do, you can upgrade from CFW 3.55 to CFW 4.3X and play any new releases and have access to PSN.
>To install CFW 4.30 from FW 3.55, follow this: http://www.ps3hax.net/2013/02/tutorial-how-to-install-4-30-ps3-cfw-from-3-55-cfw/
>You can, and will if you cheat, get banned from PSN if you use CFW on it, but there are a couple ways to unban yourself (you have to use someone else's console ID - if you get that ID banned too, then you ban their console..).
>As for emulators, I'd try RetroArch's PS3 build.




***PS1 Emulator Plugins***

Firstly, stop using ePSXe and use PCSX-R
>GPU
3D: PEOPS OpenGL 1.78 [spoiler]Pete's OpenGL 2.9 if you run into problems[/spoiler]
2D: gpuBladeSoft 1.41
>SPU
http://www.mediafire.com/?0ewt3ip40h9ir3r
>Input
LilyPad latest SVN
Pokopom Xinput Pad Plugin 2.0
LilyPad-motioninjoy (if you've a DS3 and are using MiJ)
Also if you don't want to use plugins, and want something that just werks, use Xebra, or RetroArch with Mednafen core.

>Use SuperGameBoy on RetroArch:
Download these SGB-capable BSNES cores:
http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?htga58k9rumhla9
Then download this, place it in the RetroArch folder, and rename it as sgb.boot.rom:
http://www.its.caltech.edu/~costis/sgb_hack/sgb_bios.bin
Now on RetroArch, under Special ROM, select a Super Gameboy ROM (they will all basically work, but I use the Super Gameboy 2 ROM, as it's the most recent version of it), and a Gameboy ROM. Finally, under ROM type, select Super Gameboy, make sure you have the BSNES core you downloaded selected, and play.
