Sunroof 03/26/21 9:38:44 PM #1:	Most arent BC at all, and if they are then its only PSX or PS2, not both. What kind of a manufacturing decision was this? My current one is loud as hell and sounds like its going to implode. And I dont want to spend more than $125 on another one. <cite>Sunroof posted [p:952156879] in Can't beli...

ninkendo 03/26/21 9:40:26 PM #2:	only the first gen PS3's had the emotion engine chip in them. Then they removed that and emulated PS2 games but since they're all the fat PS3's they're built poorly and break easily so there's not many left out there. Once the PS3 Slim came out PS2 BC was cut out completely. --- https://imgtc.com/i/iJnhdkc.gif https://imgtc.com/i/j45EVGx.png <cite>ninkendo posted [p:952156917] in Can't beli...

Sunroof 03/26/21 9:42:46 PM #3:	Dang. I did some more research and found that all fat PS3s are BC for PSX games, but only some are for PS2.

Sunroof 03/26/21 10:01:17 PM #5:	Yup. But only some at BC with PS2. And of the ones that are, some of them need to have a software emulator?

Heroic Bigpun 03/27/21 2:30:35 AM #10:	I have a slim and PS1 games definitely work on it. What's cool is you can play a disc on your PS3 and the PSN version of the same game can pick up the save data --- pUnny at his phone.

Snake5555555555 03/27/21 3:27:38 AM #12:	It always astounds me how poorly built 7th gen consoles were. I have my same slim PS2 from 2004 & a fat from 2001 that I can still use no problem today but I went through like 7 fat PS3s in the span of two-three years. Same thing with X360, though slightly less of a problem there at least. --- I've decided to put my fears behind me.

Rango 04/03/21 8:26:07 PM #17:	Not only is it overrated, but certain PS2 games like Tales of the Abyss and SoulCalibur III won't play right. Just get a PS2 Slim if possible.
