How you play PS2 games on the PS3?

How to make a ps3 play ps2 games?

• I downloaded a app on my ps3 from the psn store. It was supposed to make the ps3 able to support and play ps2 games. I was able to play ps1 games, not downloaded but the disc it self. ...show more

• Answer:

  That App was ONLY for the original Fat models that were PS2 backwards compatible (the 20GB, 60GB and certain 80GB models, which are the models with 4 USB ports). That App won't work on your PS3 because any other PS3 doesn't have the parts inside it required for actually playing PS2 game discs. I hope you didn't have to buy it. If you did, I suggest calling Sony and asking for a refund because of your ignorance because THEY didn't make it clear what that App was actually supposed to do. If you want to play PS2 games, the only way to is to buy the PS2 games that wre remade for the PS3. They come on both disc and downloadable version in the PS Store. They will either say "Collection" or "Trilogy" and will say "PS3". A few examples are as follows: Jak and Daxter Collection The Sly Collection Metal Gear Solid Collection Prince of Persia Trilogy Mass Effect Collection God of War Collection Etc. There are many others, and more will most likely be made as well. Hope that helps.
