So first off i started reviewing all the .PUP files/ documenting dL and whatnot. I have discovered the parameters witch can be modified within the pup.
Ok to get at the real discovery... While exploring the HDD on a slim PS i discovered the Ps1 and Ps2 emulation devices within the device.
Sony has actually set a parameter( or a bind so to speak) on all the emulation devices, which will only allow emulation viA Network download ( game off PSN saved to HDD).
Okay gets a little tricky now, i have been editing the parameters within the emulation files stored on the PS3, and made a discovery that we actually CAN get our backward compatibility back!!!
I have a few ideas in which i have been testing all night, and i think i may have found a way to trick the PS3 to play your past titles from prior systems. Im not gonna shed much light on this right now, but i Will be posting ANY and all updates and findings...
Also if there is ANY1 familiar with CMD line interface and cmds post in here let me know, the more people working on this, the more we will find...
**UPDATE**
Ability to Boot past titles from a fat32Formatted External.(Unpartitioned)
**UPDATE**
Open Manager 2.1 & a Newly designed CoManager(File & Backup)
The following 3 users say thank you to xXCoLt for this useful post:

Nope, you're wrong. Backwards compatible feature was available on :
* Old 80 GB
* 60GB
* 20GB
* MGS4 40GB Bundle
Back to topic, tell me why would Sony block such as feature if it was possible through a FW update. Don't bring Other OS they blocked it to prevent hacks.

ugh come on you can't think of it. its pretty easy. the ps2 IS STILL ON THE MARKET. why would they allow u to play ps2 games on a ps3 if they still sell ps2s. they want you to buy a ps2 so you can play ur nostalgic ps2 games. once the ps2 leaves the market u will get a FM update which will bring the compatibility back.

oh wait. I made a mistake. You still need a GS chip which new PS3 don't have.
Sony got rid of the GS chip after the UK 60GB launch so emulation is going to be hard unless you can emulate the GS chip.
GS=graphics synthesizer.

ALSO a Blu-Ray player BY DEFAULT can read and execute DVD discs... Anyone on the same page as me, or still non-beleivers?

Wow, it can write ps2 games? That's impressive.

Exactly What i thought, BUT EVERY SINGLE ps3 ships with a ps2 and ps1 emulator internally installed (hence why you can play ps1 and ps2 games off the PS store).
In defense of GeoHot and all other "pirates" ( excuse my language )
but SONY actually spends the money to physically GO INSIDE the PS3 emulation controller and disable it so it may ONLY boot from HDD NOT DISC. You see where i am getting with this....?
I have proof of this, But all that stops you from playing your older games from a previous system is a firmware/update which physically binds the Player from reading from disc ( will actually say it is the wrong disc format) but again this is a lie..... Damn SONY, stripping all our features....
Anyways ive already got the base laid out for the firmware, and have already put together a team which is currently working on a way to rollback this emulation update, or build a new Driver for the emulation software.
