Basically I'm trying to make my PS3 play my music I copied to my PS3 to play while I'm playing games (similar to OG Xbox lol) I've tried a few things with no luck 😓😓😓
So is it possible to pull this off on a cfw PS3? I'm on Drex 4.75 cfw. I have an option in debug settings that says "dummy BGM player" .... So I turned it on and still nothing lol
:note:
It did look like it was trying to play the song... But had a txt error saying "music cannot be played right now, will start automatically in a few moments"

And to be honest I don't think I've ever seen that before so maybe it's something new Sony added but I can't get it to work at all!!


Please help guys!!
Suggestions???
Thoughts??


Waffa



Ps
I know there are a handful of games that allow you to play your own music via in game by some means of a custom soundtrack (where you make a playlist and name it after the game) but ... That's only on certain games. I'd love to be able to just do it like old times and jam out while killing zombies lol plugging my iPhone into the turtle beach box via audio jack takes away the game audio, and id really like to hear both music and game audio in my headset.

Any help is greatly appreciated
Thanks again NGU

Got an idea. Take the param.sfo from the game and put on your computer. Now you'll need to download PS3Tools off aldotools' website. From there, there will be a file that allows you edit and view the param.sfo's contents. You must login or register to view this content.

Open the param.sfo up using that and you'll see something similar as this: You must login or register to view this content.

Now go down to here: You must login or register to view this content.

Checkmark the box, then click save, close out, and transfer the param back to the game. In theory, it should allow music in background now.

there is a reason some games don't have it as an option, simply say your playing any call of duty, those games tend to have frame rate drop or major lag in xmb while using extra process due to the limited memory of the playstation 3, current me if im wrong.

Well on a game like GTA V where most menus, such as LTS, use up much of the PS3's memory, that would be a very good reason for disallowing background music. And Call of Duty....notice how many much crash errors you'll get just from playing regularly, regardless of modding. So, yes, what you're saying could be relevant, as it does present additional processes for the game which uses up more resources, and perhaps could lead to overheating.

i have to use a cooling mod on my ps3's cause they run into the 80's if i don't, one of my ps3's will not turn on once it gets over 55 degrees it gets the ylod, so i keep them around 50 at most on a hot day, here thats like 30 - 40 with high humidity, i got a question why does everyone dodge the question about trophies when i ask it, all i wanna know is can i resign my old trophies with bruteforce to a offline account change some dates and sync them on new account without the reset issue loading game?

Yes, You must login or register to view this content.

But Param.sfo would be another way. Closed.
