PS2 compatibility on PS3 went through 3 phases. Launch models had EE+GS+RDRAM (full PS2 hardware), just after had only GS, and finally emulation was done entirely in software. Using a CFW can utilize the latest method to play most (ISO backed-up) PS2 games.
- Cloudef 2y agoUnfortunately the PS2 emulation on PS3 left a lot to be desired
- jonny_eh 2y ago> Using a CFW can utilize the latest method to play most (ISO backed-up) PS2 games Can it not use the first method if the hardware is available?
- forgotpwd16 2y agoSure and actually if available that is the default when mounting ISO. Just saying essentially every PS3 can emulate PS2 games. Not only those with (full or partial) PS2 hardware. Worth mentioning PSN classics (or converted games) utilize software emulation in every PS3.
- to11mtm 2y agoHuh, TIL! (I never had a PS3, AFAIR my PSP just downclocked it's CPU, I remember battery life playing classics was awesome...)
