If anyone has a ps3, now is the time to let out a sigh relief. If you follow the ps3 software history updates then you will know that only certain ps3′s can play old ps2 games. Interestingly, it seems that Sony just recently filed patents on a ps2 emulator to run on the ps3 cell processor. Sony originally pulled the software emulator from ps3′s when they released a newer firmware update for the ps3. PlayStation 2 sales are still strong being that they sale for 99 bucks now and even cheaper at pawn shops around the nation. It has a huge library of games as well. Rumour has it that these patents could mean that backwards compatibility may be brought to all ps3 or perhaps on the mysterious ps3 slim. However it may come about you can be sure that the emulator can work on all ps3′s because they all share the same processor. Sony’s powerful little baby, the “Cell” processor. Or could it be the 3.00 FW update all the fanboy’s on the ps3 forum are ranting about? LOL
