We had a backwards compatible ps3 and I was incredibly sad when I discovered I couldn't play Um Jammer Lammy on it, something in the software fucked up the timing and you just couldn't press the buttons at the correct time and it sucked
We gave away the ps3 at some point but I still have Um Jammer Lammy. I've considered buying a ps2 for it but haven't bothered so far. The disc is probably in horrible shape by now anyway, it's just semi sentimental so I keep it.
Yeah this was such a bait and switch tactic on Sonys part. I remember a few years after they stopped producing backwards compatible models getting in arguments with people who still thought the ps3 could play ps2 games. Yes the first model (and maybe more) could but then they took the chips out to do it in order to save money. Really lame Sony. I had a friend even buy one without realizing this till he was trying to play his old games
I think the other models would emulate the ps2 games. But most of the time the emulation was really bad. I think GTA LCS is almost unplayable on the ps3 because of it.
I remember how some PS3 models have like the entire PS2 hardware inside them and it could run both ps1 and ps2 games.

I think theres a special arcade version full of bonus stuff.
Why don’t you just emulate it. I can run ps2 games on a potato.
