PS3 80 GB CANNOT PLAY CERTAIN PS2 GAMES

EVIL HASH -

Hello, I just got into the PS3; C BO.....
But, nostalgia for Neo Geo games, etc. hits me from time to time.
So, I have a PS3 80 GB, but with the following PS2 games;
Metal Slug Anthology, Metal Slug 5, KOF 11, KOF Anthology, they won't play...
(same on the PS3 60 GB "backwards compatible")
Is there a trick to do, a software to download (or, is it due to hardware compatibility?)
Otherwise, for Zone 1 DVDs, is there a way to read them?
P.S; When is KOF XXII coming out on PS3 and the next Street Fighter IV?

Best Regards

Yes, for now the backward compatibility is not great, but apparently an update should arrive at the end of October and we should be able to play all PS2 games!

Wait and see!

Do you have any PS2 games that work on your PS3 (80GB)?
And do PS1 games work too?
Because my boyfriend is going to get me one for Christmas and he's hesitating between the 80GB and 160GB, so I want to know if both formats are compatible with it, or if some games from those formats work.
Thank you for your reply :)

I have an 80GB PS3, it reads PS1 games perfectly.
But it doesn't read PS2 games at all. Is there anyone who knows where I can download software so that my PS3 "80GB" can read PlayStation 2 games? Thanks in advance ^^

Unfortunately, not all games are compatible (only 73% if I remember correctly). I myself have issues with slowdowns with certain PS2 games, and others that won’t boot at all!

On the PS3 site, they say that for PS2 games, it's not yet optimal, so if my information is correct, we'll have to wait a bit longer.

That's sad.

Sorry, at the moment there is no software or anything else that allows you to play PS2 games on a PS3 other than the 60GB model.

Good evening,
After a lot of reading (maybe not in the right place), I'm still not sure of the answer: can the European 80GB PS3 play PS2 games?
If so, could someone kindly have the patience to explain ("simplify") the steps to follow in simple terms (I'm really bad with IT)?
I don't even know if I'm writing in the right place.
Message in a bottle sent, thank you very much in advance to the sailor who will reply.

The CECHE01 model WITH FIRMWARE 3.15 can read PS1, PS2, and PS3...

To be clear, the PS3 80GB does not read PS2 games.
Impossible.

Hello sebouille60, the model of the PS3 ceche01 is not the slim but the fat American version 80GB.
