Message: [QUOTE="MasterEn, post: 169965, member: 3287"] yeah. the early models with 4 usb ports and had 20 or 60 gb storage have the ps2 chip systems in them. they could play discs from all 3 systems. [automerge]1744340556[/automerge] i found some more info on the ps3 ps2 backwards compatibility. i had to get google's ai to find the actual info that i was wanting. here it is: [LIST] [*][B]Early "Fat" PS3 Models (Hardware Compatibility):[/B] [LIST] [*][B]CECHA (60GB) and CECHB (20GB):[/B] These models have the full PS2 hardware (Emotion Engine and Graphics Synthesizer) and are fully backwards compatible with PS2 games. [*][B]CECHC (60GB) and CECHE (80GB):[/B] These models have only the Graphics Synthesizer, meaning they partially emulate the PS2 CPU and have slightly reduced compatibility. [/LIST] [*][B]Later PS3 Models (Slim and Super Slim):[/B] These models do not have any form of hardware-based PS2 compatibility and rely on software emulation or digital downloads from the PlayStation Store. [*][LIST] [*][B]PS1 Games:[/B] All PS3 models can play PS1 games from discs or through digital downloads. [/LIST] [LIST] [*][B]PS2 Classics:[/B] All PS3 models can play PS2 games that have been made available for download through the PlayStation Store as "PS2 Classics". [/LIST] [LIST] [*][B]Identifying PS2 Compatible Models:[/B] Look for the "fat" PS3 models with 4 USB ports on the front. [/LIST] [LIST] [*][B]Modding:[/B] While not recommended, it's possible to install Custom Firmware (CFW) or Home Entertainment Network (HEN) on PS3s to enable PS2 game emulation, even on models that don't natively support it. [/LIST] [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
