Making the PS3 was a costly and complex engineering feat and you have to write and devolve and test the software necessary for the hardware to function. You can not just take a piece of hardware out of the PS2 and put it into the PS3 and expect it to work. Sony continues to allow PS1 games to play on the PS3 because it does not have a great cost factor for them to do so.
The PS2 software goes with the hardware on the PS2, the PS2 software can not be put on anything else and still work. What you want is a PS2 emulation and no good working emulation exists for the PS2. The second generation of the PS3 did use a partially software based PS2 emulation that also required hardware. An Emulation does exist for the PS1 and that is why all Sony PS3 models will play PS1 games.
Yes it the harddrive is updated with the new model. The harddrive needs to be set up for the system that it is in. It would not be a fat PS3 harddrive in a PS3 slim and still allow the PS3 slim to work. You could not even put it in a different model Fat PS3 without uploading the new information for that model PS3. They are all just standard laptop harddrives (2.5" internal Serial ATA HDD) like all PS3 use and then loaded with the unique model information that only that model can use. You certainly could not use a early PS2 capable harddrive to give your slim a capability to play PS2 games. see related link
Yes ps2 can run ps3 games prove why the usb on the ps2 the last one was 8mb now they made a usb 16gb and 4gb usb for the ps2 that usb 16gb is giving you a memory to save ps3 games on ps2 and a new graphics to start a ps3 game on ps2 you need the 16gb usb and connect it to the ps2 then you need to put your ps3 disc on the ps2 and then you do the code i used is triangle triangle Square Circle X.This code goes around the internal version checking that prevents PS3 games from working.Be sure to hold all the back buttons while you punch in the code.This really work on the fat ps2 and on the ps2 slim try it. bullsh!t, a ps2 cannot play ps3 games on it. i have both ps3 and ps2 and have tried this. i am 100% sure ps2 cannot play ps3 games. ps3 can play ps2 games though.
yes you can just go to playstation store and go to add-ons and look for ps2 memory unit download it go to best buy and but a memory card adaptor so you can put your memory card for ps/ps2 onto your ps3 and play the games by saving the data.
You can only do the PS1 games not the PS2 or PS3
No. The complexity of the PS3's hardware. compared with it's relatively young age, mean that no PS3 emulator currently exist beyond the idea phase. Considering that PCSX2, the best PlayStation 2 emulator available, can only now play a decent number of games at a good speed (on powerful modern computer hardware), it will likely be at least five years before any PS3 emulator is worth using.
There are only a few models of the ps3 that allow you to play ps2 games on them. If you put a ps2 game into the ps3 and your ps3 does not support them, it will tell you that it cannot read the disk.
no PS3 games will not work on the PS2. Among the many problems PS3 games are on Blue Ray disc and the PS2 uses a DVD driver for the game console
There are no PS3 emulators and the bios file for the PS3 would not work in a PS2 emulator
It will not be able to play the game, but will not hurt the PS3
No. PS2 games only play on the first 2 or 3 PS3 models with 4 USB ports
If it is one of the Games that are compatible with the PS3 then you insert the disc into the slot and the game will load just like a PS3 game. The fact that it is not a Blu-ray disc does not matter as the PS3 can also play DVDs and CDs.
