Nope, can’t do hardware backward compatibility on a PS3 Slim. Time to dust off the original PS3 or look for remastered games on the PlayStation Store.

As a long-time PS3 Slim owner, I can confirm it doesn’t support backward compatibility with PS2 games. But good news, lots of classics are available for download on the PlayStation Store. I've relived many memories this way!
PS3 Slim can’t play PS2 discs directly. Better option: Look for those games in the PlayStation Store.
Unfortunately, the PS3 Slim doesn't support hardware-based backward compatibility like the original PS3 models. But you can still download and play some of the older PlayStation games through the PlayStation Store. Just check if your favorite titles are available there!
