Read how to boot Playstation 2 backups with your BLu-ray Playstation 3 drive. Maybe you can get that too old games to run again.
From forums.afterdawn.com:
OK, I wanted a fairly easy way to play my PS2 backups on my PS3. I have read that you can do it by taking apart your PS3 and cutting a hole in the top and yadayada. Leaving the top off of my PS3 to play PS2 backups didn't sound attractive to me. So i searched around and found a forum for PS2 talking
about a tray switch for the fat PS2's back in the day. So i
did some brainstorming and figured it might work. I went to
Radio shack and purchased a 3 way toggle switch for $5. I
highly recommend 3 way. At radio shack it was called a middle off switch. That way your drive motor is not constantly running.
I came home and soldered the wires to the switch.
A note before we start. This is a fairly easy process, the most trouble i had was trying to figure out where to put the switch. there is no room to work with. I ended up taking out my card reader on my PS3 because i never use it and just mounted the switch there. You could possibly let it hang out. It's up to you. Just remember that if you plan to retain original functionality as far as the drive sensor and automatic load/unload motor, you will need 2 additional small on/off switches.
Square Enix launches Final Fantasy X 25th anniversary site, revealing new Nomura art, books, music releases, and merchandise.
Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.
They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.
they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.
Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted
Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments
LucasArts gave Jango Fett his own game in 2002, and it pulled Star Wars into a much dirtier, rougher, and more interesting corner of the galaxy.
A brutal reset, a smarter story, and a return to what made it great—Mortal Kombat (2011) revived the series.
Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.
15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.
ppl still can't play some of there ps2 games?
I like to keep my warranty. The PS3 is too expensive to be opening. For me anyway. My PS2 works flawlessly still. Unless the PS3 increases the PS1/PS2 graphics with Cell dramatically, MEH!
Why bother,its just to much hassle just to play old ps2 games!!!!besides i like my ps3 to much to start messing about out with it,anyways why would i want stray wire hanging about all over the place,the ps3 is a nice looking bit of kit why spoil it...
well i bought mines close to launch and i can play almost every single ps2 games i own..no need to do this..and i got a warranty for my ps3..so you bet im goin to be usin it.
hmm, well for one i sold my PS2(i loved it dearly though), and its games, cause i needed money, so really this wouldn't help me out.
and two, well i want my warranty to be valid, i wouldn't mod my 360, and i wouldn't want to mod my PS3.
