Can you play PS3 games on a PS2?
No, you can’t play the games. PS2 uses DVD while PS3 has a blu-ray. You can’t just insert a blu-ray in DVD drive and expect it to run.Secondly, the hardware of PS3 is much more powerful than the PS2. So, the games won’t run as PS2’s hardware don’t match the specs.Thirdly, there might be some change of code and some basic stuff in the working of the game which the PS2 won’t be able to understand.In short, don’t try to insert the PS3 blu-ray into your PS2. You might end up damaging them.

Can ps3 play ps2 and ps1 games?
to clear up the confusion that a lot of people seem to have when it comes to backwards compatibility, you're going to get my long answer. just because a PS3 is fat does NOT mean it can play PS2 games. there is a fat 40GB and 80GB and neither of them play PS2 games. the only models that can play PS2 game discs are as follows: 20GB - CECHBxx 60GB - CECHAxx, CECHCxx 80GB - CECHExx all of the other systems can NOT play PS2 game discs. they can, however, play PS2 games downloaded through the PlayStation store. backward compatibility for the PS3 with PS2 games is as follows on NTSC-U/C systems: 20GB (4 USB slots, fat, no longer in production) - YES 60GB (4 USB slots, fat, no longer in production) - YES 80GB with 4 USB slots (fat, no longer in production, bundled with MGS4 or Motor Storm) - YES 40GB (2 USB slots, fat, no longer in production) - NO 80GB with 2 USB slots (fat, no longer in production) - NO 160GB (2 USB slots, fat, no longer in production) - NO 120GB/slim (2 USB slots) - NO 250GB/slim (2 USB slots) - NO any other up coming PS3's - NO in short: if it has 4 USB slots, yes. if it has 2 USB slots, no. also, you CANNOT mod a PS3 to play PS2 game discs. it is impossible. as stated on the PlayStation website: "If a PlayStation 3 is not backward compatible, you will not be able to add this function through any hardware (i.e., changing the hard disk drive) or software (i.e., updates, homebrew) upgrades or modifications." the software found on the PSN is for backwards compatible PS3s ONLY, and will NOT make a non-BC PS3 backwards compatible with PS2 games. ALL PS3s play PS1 games, both from the PSN and game discs. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PlayStation... http://support.us.playstation.com/app/an...

Can you play PS2 games on a PS1?
Regrettably, you cannot, due to the way the games are coded, and the way the operating system in a PS1 is different from an operating system in a PS2. Both are designed differently.However, if you have access to a mid-range PC, it is possible to play Playstation 2 games on it. You can download the emulator to your PC, set it up, and play your games off of it.Here is a pretty detailed tutorial video to setting this up if you would like to try it. Here is the link to it.Just so you know, this video is about 2 years old, and they have updated the PCSX2 emulator since then, so a few things have changed.I hope this helps!

My Ps3 can play Ps1 games but not Ps2 Why?
No, they are different hardware. Your PS3 can play PS1 games, because the PS1 is easy to emulate (you play in emulation mode). The PS2 is not easy to emulate, and requires hardware chips that are no longer included on the PS3. So, if you want to play PS2 games, either get a PS2, or trade your newer PS3 in for an older one (the 60GB model)
Can you play PS1 games on a PS2 Slim?
Yes, you can play PS1 games on any PlayStation Model as long as the system matches up with region coding of the PS1 game (NTSC, PAL, etc.), however, some games will not work.

There are also certain games that Sony claims will not work in any model of the PS2.

However, you must allow the intro sequence to play for the game to start up properly.)X2 (Glitches in menus)Mortal Kombat Trilogy (The game will only freeze on a PlayStation 2 if the "BUY IN SCREEN" option is set to "OFF".)There are also games that are incompatible only with the SCPH-30001.
