Brand new!

- 3rd party memory card with latest FMCB installed
- MX4SIO sd card reader
- Kingston 128gb SD Card

Over 70 games installed already, but put the card into a laptop or computer and you can delete or add more with ease.

Fully tested and I'm pleased with how well this setup works.

It blows USB mods away! Fast loading and FMVs are playable where before they'd struggle to play. No input lag noticed at all either.

Can be used on both original and slim version consoles.

£50

Hello, hello, one and all! I've had a super busy few months doing custom jobs, so I haven't had time to much else!

I'm hoping to get around to a job I've had on hold for a while now, it's something for myself but if it comes out as I expect it to, I will most likely share that with you all in due course. 😎

I'm still available to take on more jobs, so if you've been patiently waiting (a couple of you, and big thanks!) I have the time.

I'll hopefully be able to work through some of this pile I have had sat here too and list some bits for sale as well.

Busy, busy but very much enjoying things right now (even the late nights / early mornings! 😅 )

A huge thanks to you all!

So I've had to do a bunch of separate listings on marketplace for PS2 hard drives. Not so much a time-saver really. Thank you Facebook though for your concern about their welfare! 😅

The PlayStation 3 has had another firmware update! Please be careful with your modded systems out there.

It's just an update for the use of the BluRay drive (DVD playback actually) so nothing to patch any vulnerability at least.

Nonetheless, an update will ruin your mod, and no doubt your day !

PS4 modding now available all the way up to firmware revision 13.00!

Builds available upto 4tb (currently at least, but the upper limit is 8tb on PS4 consoles, 4tb internal and 4tb external hard drives)

Hit me up for more information, or if you have a dusty old machine somewhere that could use a little affection 😎

***SOLD ***

Console is near mint condition.

This console came on a very early Firmware (4.55) and all data on the console points to 2014 - the last time it was used!

Runs very quietly and temperatures are perfectly normal when being used.
Even with the fan adjustment within webman, it rarely kicks in any higher than it should, so has no issues with cooling.

Has been upgraded to a 1tb harddrive, with over 150gb of free space still available to use.

Aside from all the normal CFW apps being installed, it also comes with the following-

Retroarch with 10,000+ games
100 PS3 games
150 PS2 games
300 PS1 games

All leads and a like new / lightly used controller.

This is a fantastic machine, fully equipped, loaded with a solid game library, very clean and quiet, and runs exactly as it should.

A perfect machine for any collection.

Over 40 years of gaming on one machine!
100 plus systems, from arcade, to handhelds, and home consoles.
From the early games machines right up to the PS4. *
Over 35,000 different titles available, this is bound to keep you entertained for some time.

This is just the PC tower itself for sale, but happy to chuck in a keyboard to get you started.

Any USB controller will work, and it's possible you have an xbox 360, ps3 or 4 controller already.

£100

* WiiU PS3 PS4 *
Although running on this system, would benefit from an additional graphic card, since these run with graphical issues.
The on board graphics card has Vulkan compatibility, but is only able to run an older version.
There are only a few titles for each of these systems to show working and setup, but you can always add more if you wanted to, should you decide to upgrade.
