No, the Sony PlayStation 2 uses DVD media for its games. The older PlayStation only has a CD drive. Therefore, PlayStation 2 games will not work on the PlayStation. Other problems also include the graphical processing limitations of the original PlayStation.

∙ 13y agoNo, a PlayStation GameShark will not work with a PlayStation 2, even if you are playing a PlayStation game in it. The reason is because the PlayStation GameShark is made for use with the PlayStation console BIOS image and even though the PlayStation 2 is backwards compatible with PlayStation games, the BIOS image is different and is not compatible with the GameShark for PlayStation.

∙ 12y agoOlder PS3 Models with 4 USB ports will play PS2 games as seen on related PlayStation network link. All PS3 models with only 2 USB ports can not play PS2 games and there are no updates, downloads or additional hardware or cables that will allow them to play PS2 games. All models of PS3 can play PS1 games with software emulation.
