in case you do not have an previous 60, 20, or 80GB form with 4 USB ports, in different words the first fashions they made, then you really won't be able to play PS2 video games. The 20 and 60 GBs had the PS2's processor and pictures chip interior them so that they could do close to-proper hardware emulation. The 80GBs purely had the pictures chip and did partial application emulation so the compatibility wasn't as solid. both way, putting PS2 hardware in PS3s made them intense priced to furnish and Sony became dropping funds on each and each console because they were really putting a PS2 in each PS3, so that they bumped off the function so that they could decrease the fee.

Hi,
my friend brought a PS3 and got rid of his PS2, but when he tried his PS2 games on the PS3 only 3 out of 20 would work on the PS3.

From your previous questions I'm assuming you're English and you have a European model ps3.
About 70% of ps2 titles work on the ps3. This is a link that shows you which games work and which don't.

Now if I were you, I'd look at the system settings you have on your ps3. If you have version 1.5, you will need to update the firmware on your new console to version 1.6.
This link explains how to update your firmware. Follow it exactly. If you don't, the ps3 wont recognise the update. It doesn't take too long.

I used a memory stick to update the firmware. It takes about 15 minutes. Eater is correct with Sony's handling of the European ps3, but you don't have to go to ebay. Just update and you will have no problem.

Someone else has already asked this.
Here's my answer:
For the European version of the console, Sony have decided in their wisdom to remove the "Emoticon" chip from the unit in an effort to save on costs (A bit hypocritical considering the EU version is the most expensive - retails at €650, compared to $600 USD in the states and around $500 in Japan). This chip allows the unit to simulate the PS2 and allow you to play your old games.
As a result, Sony cannot guarantee that all of your PS1 and PS2 games will be compatible although some will work as normal.
For anyone in Europe, I recommend getting yourself on Ebay and buying one in from Japan (as the Japanese version is both NTSC and PAL compatible).
Hope this helps.

As far as my son says. Only in America and Japan do ps2 games work in ps3. But not the ones sold in Britain.

not all ps2 games can work on ps3. check sony ps3 websites for games compatibility.

you may need a small firmware update but thats all. But most of them should work
