Different Sony PS3 models support different backwards compatibility levels with Sony PS2 games. Sony PS3 – 20GB and 60GB NTSC Model The 20 gig and 60 gig NTSC Sony PS3 models are the absolute best for backwards compatibility with the Sony PS2. These models contain PS2 circuitry. Each of these units contains a full PS2 Emotion Engine (EE). Unfortunately, this hardware based approach was very expensive and Sony discontinued the 60 gig PS3 after a very short time. Sony PS3 – 40 Gig Model Sony PS3′s 40 gig model does not support any backwards compatibility with the PS2. However, the 40 gig model still maintains full backwards compatibility with the Sony PS1. can you play ps2 games on ps3 Are PS2 Games Compatible with a PS3? Sony PS3 – 80 Gig Model and 60GB PAL Model The 80 gig Sony PS3 supports PS2 games through software emulation. This emulation’s success was poor at first, but Sony improved it with several generations of firmware upgrades. When users experience difficulties with PS2 emulation, it is recommended that they upgrade to the latest firmware. The 60GB PAL model also utilizes software emulation. Sony PS3 – Slim model Launched in late 2009, PS3 Slim is the only model in production as of 2011, with versions ranging from 120GB to 320GB. It does not support PS2 compatibility, but some PS2 games are available from PSN. Check PS2 Game Compatibility Sony provides a Playstation 3 Backwards Compatibility Status database that enables gamers to find the current status of backwards compatibility for specific video games. There is also a comprehensive list at PS3Comp.com, with compatibility ratings for PS2 and PSOne games. |
