140w ago - According to Siliconera.com (linked above), Sony Japan has officially filed a
patent for an adapter to make PS3 backwards compatible with PlayStation 2 titles.
To quote on the PS2 to PS3 adapter patent: "Japanese
message boards are buzzing about a patent filed by Sony Computer Entertainment Japan for a new generation to previous generation console adapter.
We checked the Japanese Patent database to verify and a patent indeed exists.
A schematic of the proposed adapter (200) shows the device has its own processor, a DVD decoder/emulator, sound processor, and graphic processor."
tried everything with AC3 and rebug 4.41. just black screen and vita disconnects. ps3 needs a hard reboot.
also NOT working, injustice and God of War...
Seriously....Sony is becoming the Lindsey Lohan of the video game world...one freaking trainwreck eff-up after another. They took our OtherOS away to prevent piracy....and we see how well that worked...yet they haven't made any effort to say "oops...okay we screwed up, here's your OtherOS back, didn't help as well as we thought it would". Then they strip the Slim of PS1/PS2 disc playing...memory card reader...two USB ports, yet still charge the same bloody price for the flipping thing..oh yes, let's pay more for less, great idea.
Dear Sony: Please learn to start making game systems again, or go away for good. I'm sure the makers of the 3DO, WonderSwan and N-Gage could use the company.
Sadly, it's too late for Sony, as its programmers are now mostly obsolete now that the PS3 has been exploited and homebrew is a reality.
