PS3 PES6 online patch

By Robert Purchese Published 2 April, 2007

Hopefully in next firmware update.

Those of you patiently waiting for a patch to let you play PES6 against your friends using your shiny new PS3 will probably be twiddling your thumbs until a fix appears in a firmware update.

"We are doing our best to fix all known problems and any such fixes are likely to come in the form of future firmware updates," a spokesperson for Sony told Eurogamer.

However, Sony wasn't able to comment on exactly which games will be fixed first, nor the date or firmware release they'll be addressed in. So, we could be waiting even longer.

It's one of a handful of PS2 titles that has noticeable issues when running on the new console, prompting Konami to previously release a statement claiming that online play was incompatible due to the loss of internal hardware dedicated to PS3 emulation.

This emotion engine chip, the processor used in the PS2, was removed for PAL PlayStation 3 units. However, Sony promised that it would continue to support last generation of games with software updates to the system.

The most recent update was v1.6, which went live on 23rd March and significantly increased the amount of PS2 titles playable on the new console.

You can find a full list of those that work on Sony's backwards compatibility site, boasting around 1,240 golden oldies.

There's currently no news on when we can expect the next firmware update for PS3.

  • Arganoid #3 5 years ago

    Are there any sites where people can contribute info on what BC issues (if any) a game has on the PS3?

    I tried Dog's Life and there were a lot of missing polygons (mostly in cutscenes). Including one bit where the dog's eyeballs disappeared.

  • mkreku #5 5 years ago

    Oh great. You load up Dog's Life for your kids to play and it turns out to be a survival horror game about ghost dogs with no eyes.

    those rollover adds are pissing me off, i move the mouse to go to the scroll bar, and i always end up rolling over that shit

  • RMXtreme #7 5 years ago

    Those ads are really starting to annoy me as well.

  • mkreku #8 5 years ago

    Use Firefox + Adblock Plus. I haven't seen an ad in ages.

    That's what a psychiatrist would call a reverse lobotomy.

    well, seeing as prior to the patch, it couldn't play any PS2 games, then any compatability would be a significant increase

  • brooza #11 5 years ago

    At home I use FF and NoScript (Javascript blocker) which blocks most ads, while at work most of the ads are blocked by the web filtering software

  • spongebob #12 5 years ago

    I really hope they fix at least most of the high profile PS2 games to work on PS3. It can't be that hard because there's like only 10-20 games on that list.

  • Tomnd #13 5 years ago

    rogue trooper works online on the ps3, but killzone doesn't.

  • Moz #14 5 years ago

    This seems like non-news to me. Surely we all knew that further compatibilty would come in the next firmware patch!

    Roll on E3, so little new announced this time of year as all the devs hold back for E3. Also annoiied it's not open to public any more, was thinkning of going this year :o(

  • abigsmurf #15 5 years ago

    "It's one of a handful of PS2 titles that has noticeable issues"

    must be a pretty big hand. From what I understand most titles have some issues, most notably slowdown and problems with FMV

  • Arganoid #16 5 years ago

    I tried Dog's Life again on the PS3 and this time the disappearing polygon problem was not present.

  • Arwin #17 5 years ago

    I'm guessing we'll get Firmware updates at the very least every two months, so it won't be too long off then. Of course much more important is PES7 for PS3. Yay for region free! ;)

  • Moz #18 5 years ago

    Is PS3 def still regionless?
    I know for Blue-rays it is NOT regionless. (But some blu ray disks are)

    I still keep hearing conflicking views on game regioning

    I think for the 360 and PS3 it's down to the developer/publishers' discretion. For the Wii, sadly, it's compulsary.

  • BabaBooey #20 5 years ago

    Good news... let's hope they include a PAL-60hz option in the next firmware update as well.

    "Are there any sites where people can contribute info on what BC issues (if any) a game has on the PS3?"

    This is the same question i have been wondering about also.
    Anyone here who know about any such sites?

  • Beano #22 5 years ago

    "I still keep hearing conflicking views on game regioning "

    PS3 games are region-free (as Sony have confirmed several times) but technically games could check the region of the hardware. However, no PS3 games are region-locked so far.

    Bluray movies and PSone/PS2 games are still region-locked.
