Is there anyway for me to play my PS2 games (Not an ISO of the game on an external drive) on my PS3 using a software hack?
Bumping, I too am curious

Only if you had one of the original ps3s that were really expensive.
The backwards compatibility in those consoles was because there was some ps2 hardware included in the console to allow backwards compatibility. Without that it wouldn't be able to run the games because of how different the hardware is between ps3 and ps2.

Only if your PS3 is thick. Thick!
PS2's eDRAM at 48 GB/s is actually faster than PS3's VRAM which is 22.4 GB/s.
So not, not without the original hardware, or emulator hacks like Sony have done for their downloadable PS2 games.

THICK
Shit. I heard you can boot an ISO using a hack, but how is that any different from using an actual PS2 disc?

Yeah, isn't it the same?

You can buy them on PS Store.
So what's the deal with the PS2 emulation on the PS4? Will it be software only or will it take discs also?

I don't think we know yet, but it will prob be software.

Nobody knows but there is a 99% chance it will be software only.
The best thing we can hope for is that Sony will not make you buy a digital PS2 game on PS4 if you already bought it on PS3.
No. The later PS3s just straight-up don't have the hardware to play PS2 games, save the PS2 Classics on the store which run in a proprietary emulation wrapper.
The old ones from launch have proper hardware BC and will play pretty much all PS2 games though. And the ones from shortly after (when the 80GB was first introduced) have mixed hardware/software BC that plays most PS2 games, although it's not as reliable as the early models.
>tfw you still have a launch 60GB + a PS4 and can play all generations of Playstation games
Almost makes up for the two fucking years of nogaems back when the PS3 came out.
So is there a 5.5.0 exploit yet?

I wish I had the money right now
