You can't. If you want to play PS2 games on a PS3 then you have to Purchase an old PS3 with 4 USB ports and hope it doesn't break.
well zachs mom said it would work you idiot!!!
No it does not Play PS2 game see related link
The 40 GB model does not play any PS2 games
You don't. The 40 GB PS3 is not one of the PS3 models with Backward Compatibility. Sony claims that there is not anything you can do to allow it to play PS2 games. see related link
There is no software hardware or anything else that will let you play PS2 games on the 40 GB PS3 or any on the other models that also do not play PS2 games
No it can not. Playing PS2 games was not a feature of the 40 GB model and it was the first PS3 model not to be able to play any PS2 games and also the first model with only 2 USB ports
Any ps3 above 40 GB plays ps2 games Only PS3 consoles with 4 USB ports will play PS2 games. That means only the oldest machines that are at least 3 years old. If it breaks Sony will only replace it with a newer model.
The 40 GB model does not play PS2 games. Sony says that there in no method that will allow you to be able to. No hardware, upgrades, cheats, software, or anything else that will allow you to change that. Good thing the PS3 has so many great games it is not even a big deal
Yes (both PS1 and PS2) if you have the 60gb version. The 40 wont. Please note you can play PS1 games through your PS3, on your PSP (remote play) but not yet PS2 games.
First you look for the number of USB ports to determine whether it will play PS2 games. If it has 2 USB ports you do not play PS2 games. The only way you will is on a PS3 with 4 USB ports or a PS2. There are no downloads, updates, modifications, hardware or software purchases to change a PS3 with 2 USB ports into one that can play PS2 games.
The first PS3 had 4 USB ports and they were backward compatible all the Fat PS3 with 2 USB ports lack both the hardware and the software to play PS2 games. The PS3 slim also does not have this feature, but it was lost more than a year before the PS3 slim was released back in 2008 and even in November 2007 for the 40 GB model YES as long as the ps3 is not the ps3 SLIM because the people who buit the ps3 SLIM did not do it but on the NOT SLIM ps3 you can feel free to do so. Totally untrue
Just buy the amazon PS3 dual shock 3 for $40 in an assortment of colors. A wired controller is not even original equipment for a PS3 and is just some cut rate off brand controller that you want to try to adapt to an old PS2 controller.
