How to Backup & Play PS2 Games on PS3HEN! - No PKG Conversion Required

One limitation of PS3HEN compared to CFW is the inability to directly launch PS2 games in ISO format. Due to this, many of the existing methods for CFW will not work on PS3HEN, as PS3HEN requires a PS2 ISO to be encrypted in order to play. Although I've covered this before, the previous method I showcased required a PC and a Windows tool to create an installable PKG file out of a PS2 game. This method differs as it shows how you can backup a PS2 game on the PS3 itself, encrypt it, and mount it through the preferred webMAN MOD as opposed to doing an install! This will require you to have PSN activated on your PS3HEN console, as well as the basic knowledge of transferring a PKG over to your console to install.
This video assumes you already own a console modified with PS3HEN. It is also assumed the viewer has a basic understanding of how to navigate their console.

hey man just wanna say that it works thanks 🙏🏽. i have a question tho if i wanna use saves from ps2 to the games i installed how do i access the memory cards so i can copy the saves to my games. i need help with that please

[@thecoolguy549]

With cfw PS3 method the PS2 games can use the virtual memory cards which is equivalent to actual PS2 memory cards so for this method you'll need an PS3 memory card adaptor to use your actual PS2 saves from actual memory cards however hen method all PS2 games are basically PS2 classic format in order for them to run this way though they can't use virtual memory cards only the PS2 memory utility which is a different sort of save to the virtual memory cards in other words you'll have to start all games from the beginning on hen method.hope this explains it.n

[@ryanboyd9832]

I even watched this knowing I have a full modded slim PS3, but it’s cool that the hen users can also use this. I’m definitely going to use this and play the PS2 games off my PS3. I have a backwards compatible, but I’m trying to save its life until I can, Frankenstein it, so this is a placeholder for now!

[@MrMario2011]

Have fun! Although you can just mount them straight away. This method actually isn't new, it's pretty much what CFW users had to do years ago without the COBRA payload.

@@MrMario2011 sure will thank you for the great tutorials over the years. You’ve gotten me through my Xbox modeling to PlayStation keep up the awesome work! But yes, I know I can do straight away play from the ISO once I’m done mounting exact steps up until you have to do the extra for hen!

I did this for three games. All with working original ISO files. One of the 3 launches and plays. The other two fail back to the XMB. All are PS2 CD based games. Any ideas? I'm re-enabling HEN in between attempts.

[@Pesticide00]

I have always wondered if there is some way to use the startup notification to autoload HEN on boot. or if that has even been looked into.

[@bunkernuts6293]

I know this seems impractical but I yearn for the day where I can pop in my PS2 games on my slim PS3 and they just work like they do in a FAT model (using CFW of course). I suppose this is one step closer to that. My PS2 works fine, but I like the idea of wireless controllers and HD output for my physical PS2 games without any expensive modifications or external hardware like a retrotink or something along those lines.

Hi, i think this is the best video about that ps2 games playing on ps3! I have only one Problem with the overall PS3 HEN so many times freezed my ps3 with web man and Multiman. I think the web man dont like the multiman, multiman is often freeze because of web man i think, not allways but often ! Have this hole Community any solution for that? I must use HEN momentanly. I have try reinstall, other versions of multi and web man, all dont do the job konstant. I would love the CFW put now i cant do that.

[@natusz109]

So ive tried 7 discs and none of them read, double-checked compatibility and retried the remaining five, eject and refresh multiple times and it only comes up as playstation 2 disc no matter what i do. Ive got webman, but seeing as how i can't even get to the create iso stage it doesnt seem to matter.

[@BigBossultrastealth]

So i prefer doing the PKG method for organizations sake but, would you be able to just rename the encrypted version to the game name and move it to that directly and use the PS2 classics placeholder to play the games via web man mod? What i mean is like when you’re going through the process of converting to a PkG and the file is turned into a .ISO.BIN.ENC or whatever the format is. Just out of curiosity, I’ll probably still stick to the PKG method though

[@MrMario2011]

Two different methods, they don't cross.

Won't the games still be slower if you have a non backwards compatible ps3? I still have a ps3 slim, and when I tried ps2 need for speed most wanted 2005 the game was laggy.

I have a question: I own a PS3 BC fat CECHC (OG model with PS2 chips in it). If I run PS2 games in any other way than inserting the PS2 discs in, will the games run emulated like any other PS3? Or will it know that it's a BC PS3 and use the special PS2 chips in it?

You can also use this method with a PS3 slim that’s capable of running 4.90 Evilnat. As a die hard A01 guy, I must say for having ZERO PS2 chips on my 2501B, the compatibility with PS2 using this emulator is pretty good! 😎👍🏻

[@MrMario2011]

There's no reason to follow this with EVILNAT, just dump the disc then mount it with webMAN MOD.

[@jk-474]

@@MrMario2011 that’s exactly what I’m doing, I installed the PS2config PKG and the PS2Classics Placeholder PKG, I’ve only launched games on my 2501B through webman, but I’ve found config files that I didn’t even add for Bully and other games. My guess would be that the PS2config PKG improves the overall quality of whatever you’re emulating with those config files being automatically added from the database, I haven’t heard anyone really mention that so that’s more what I meant with the original comment. Glad to see you answered though, your guide helped me get 4.90 Evilnat running on more than a few consoles by now, I have everything unpacked and streamlined! Quick question though; if I have a download of Evilnat’s PUP file, do I have to keep checking the MD5 or is that file guaranteed safe especially if it’s been used more than once successfully?

Nope PS2 games need to run from internal HDD even on CFW

[@MrMario2011]

Nope, have to be transferred internally.

@@MrMario2011 Alright, I'll definitely try this out either way, thank you bro

[@djpainkiller3326]

When I load up the game and get ready to play it the signal is lost On my TV every time any idea why?

[@MrMario2011]

Your TV might not support lower resolutions over HDMI

@@MrMario2011 it weird because it’s a 2019 Samsung 4K TV

Can't I insert a regular USB and copy the PS2 classic and config PKG to the console using irisman? I don't have a PC but I do have an adapter that let me plug USB in my phone and manage files there

[@MrMario2011]

PKGs are for installing, this is mounting.

[@SKY_252]

​@@MrMario2011 I know, I was referring to the PS2 classics PKG and the config PKG. I managed to install them and did all the process successfully until the final step of launching the game. When I selected the PS2 game from the PS2 folder under webman games, the console froze. I was forced to restart it and now every time the PS3 boots up, it shows up the "system recovery" message on a loop even if I do the recovery process. It doesn't seem to be affecting anything else and I managed to launch the PS2 game later. Is there a way to fix that bug? It might not be a bigger problem now but who knows what could happen in the future

i got an black screen when i opened the ps2 placeholder..

[@DustBunnyDHCP]

This is the 2nd tutorial I've watched for this and it never works for some reason. I follow everything to a T and 1 program won't run or 1 thing just doesn't work the same as it does on screen... I'm really lost at what to do here. I cannot launch the classic's placeholder even after linking a psn account...

[@MrMario2011]

Not enough to just link an account, you have to activate on the console as well. If you cannot launch the application, uninstall it, make sure your console is activated, reboot, and try to reinstall.

[@DustBunnyDHCP]

@@MrMario2011 did it and got it working! I had no idea there was an extra step! Thank so much gamer!

[@YTCHILLZ]

can't you encrypt ps2 iso on apollo save tool in user tools?

[@MrMario2011]

Yep, that's an alternative, but kept it to less apps here since multiMAN allows for ripping, transferring, and encrypting all in one app.

literally was making pkg files when i saw this

[@deansmith6924]

I still think the 7th gen was the best. Xbox 360 and ps3 will never die. Thanks for your work 👍

[@MrMario2011]

Favorite generation for sure 🔥

[@SantiGiuffrida]

Hello Mario! I can't install PS2 Classics Placeholder. After running its pkg, nothing appears on XMB. How come?

[@MrMario2011]

It's there if installed.

[@SantiGiuffrida]

@@MrMario2011 I dunno. I get the installation confirm but I can't see anything related in the games section of xmb. It's weird...

[@damionburch832]

My cover art for the game doesn’t show

[@johnscott5226]

how would I do this with a 4gb+ ps2 game such as Bully or Dragon Quest VIII

[@MrMario2011]

Dump from disc or transfer via FTP.
