Just got a ps3 super slim so testing has resumed... http://castlevania.msnboard.net/t641p25-total-control-on-psn-ps3-achieved-xbox-tc-development#8896

On the emulator runs... I realized that we should be able to run the actual ps3 psn playstation 1 bios on bizhawk, so that might help fix some of the issues, more on that soon.
