(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); I've always wondered this and have heard many things about the ps3's backwards caompatability, but I still have a few questions. I really want to play some old video games...The Warriors, Phsyconauts, Tak, etc. Is any ps3 capable of playing ps2 games if I download the backwards compatability thing on the psn store? I heard that the older versions were already capable of doing so, but unfourtanatly my old one dies a long time ago. I have two new versions that were on modified firmware, but then my stepdad updated them because he likes to piss me off. So is there any way I can still play ps2 games on my ps3? I really wish Sony would release more of there old school ps2 games. It's a shame all of thoughs great games that people loved can't be played anymore because Sony was too cheap to add in the backwards compatability. I will downgrade if need be, but if theres any way that does't require me buying a ps2, downrading ,or paying money then please tell me.

No........
You need a hardware device in order to do it. Software can't do it on it own
No way for you to add the same hardware device sony added to make it work.
Only older PS3's have this hardware

As for why sony removed it that was due to the fact they needed to install a PS2 into the PS3 in order for it to work. Even that had issues due to the massive difference in PS2 to PS3 hardware.

like above you need certain hardware

Cant you download them from psn store?

you can get them off the psn store but those arent the actual disc rips those are ports buy a original fat and it should work on most games but will fry the system quick

Yes, I would buy them off the psn store, but they don't have them. What kinda hardware do I need to get ps2 games working. People keep saying I need certain hardware, but is it possible for me to add it to my ps3? I don't want to go buying another ps3 if theres a cheaper way of doing it.

Just buy a ps2...Or maybe try a emulator on pc

i also wondered ABOUT the same question !....but i knew there is no way

i wish they would remake the warriors and enable trophies. that game and movie are bad ass.

If your in us go to playstation store and dwonload the PS2 app butn if your in eu THEN YOU need an old ps3 model or a us ps3, a cheaper way is a new ps2
