Oct 20, 2026, 3:32 PM@pitel not all PS3s support PS2 games though, there's a whole thing there and compatibility isn't exactly "set it and forget it". It worked pretty well for me for PS1 games though.

AusterAuster1@mastodon.socialOct 20, 2026, 3:50 PM@veronica through software, PS2 games can be played on all major system mods (HAN / HEN / CFW) despite the hardware, but need to be converted to the PS3's native "PS2 Classic" format. Physical medias though, only the initial models can play.
Can't show now, but if needed, in a few hours I can send a video of my console, which iirc is the very last hardware revision, playing converted games but failing to play physical medias.

@Auster1 I don't know what "HAN / HEN / CFW" means, don't know what a "PS2 Classic" format means either.
Obviously I could look it up, but that illustrates the point I was making about assumed jargon.
