I’m in a similar boat, though my current GPU (1050Ti) probably isn’t up to much beyond lighter/2D titles (due to overhead) and those files are a bit heavy/messy to manage.

I actually have 2 PS3s (my YLoD original w/drive donated to other, a slightly newer model that might have dry paste). Would be nice if I had someone to help with this (my OG has stuff on it*), then again I could do some of it myself I just am not bothering to do so. I did play through a few of my old games as-is on the newer PS3.

* including LBP1 water DLC that was discontinued and wasn’t included w/GotYE. Though due to storage constraints and lack of planning it’s very possible there’s media I purchased that I deleted at some point
