Wip3out on PS3

[meyot]

Hello,

I tried Wip3out on a PS3 60Go, and the game work good until the start, then the screen freeze with a big glich. Do you have the same problem ? because sony say the game working good : http://faq.eu.playstation.com/bc/bcGames.htm ?

You may have SCES01909.

is that the one with the authenticity checking or whatever? freezes right when you pass the start line/laser? Someone made a patch for it, but until you can run backups on a PS3 I guess it's neither here nor there.

You're right I have SCES01909 (original disck, not a backup) The game freeze 2 second after course start.
There's an other edition the SCES-02845, is it W3 SE or an other serie of W3?
Does WE SE work good on PS3 ?
Thx

02845 Is Wip3out
Short answer: 3SE doesn't work.

mdhay; I think you may have them mixed up. 02845 is WO3SE, I'm looking at those numbers on the instruction manual literally as I type this. And when I put the WO3pal ("Wip3out") disc in the drive, it has "SCES_019.09" in the list of files.

Over the past few days I've sat and converted every version of wipeout for PSX to work on my PSP, and the only one that gave me any trouble was "Wip3out" SCES-01909. It would freeze at the beginning of every race after you crossed the start line due to the way the copy protection code was programmed. The PSP may not emulate all of the original PSX's routines and therefore when the game didn't get any data that satisfied the copy protection, it just shut down. Someone made a patch to circumvent the protection (available here: Link ) with an unnecessary PAL/NTSC switch... unnecessary because PAL games run like garbage when forced into NTSC mode This patch made the game run fine on my PSP (no crashes), but obviously you can't make the PS3 run copied games.

Since the PS3 doesn't have the original PSX hardware inside, and does everything by emulation, that could be the same thing that was happenning with my PSP. And since WO3SE "SCES-02845" worked without fail on my PSP, I'd wager a guess that it doesn't have the disabling copy protection of the other version.
