Honestly, only certain PS3 models support PS2 backward compatibility natively. Check if your model does before trying anything.

Alright, first make sure your PS3 is backward compatible with PS2 games. If it is, you can use a USB storage device to transfer PS2 ISOs. Format your USB to FAT32, create a folder named 'PS2ISO', and place your game files there. Insert the USB into the PS3, then use a program like Multiman to load and play the games.

I managed to get my PS2 games running on my PS3! I used a USB stick formatted to FAT32. Make sure to name the folder 'PS2ISO' and pop your game files in there. Using a program like Multiman really helps to load and play those games!

Short answer: it鈥檚 a bit tricky without a backward-compatible PS3. You might need some software mods to make it work.
