You don't you can not make a PS3 play PS2 games by downloading software Software is designed to make hardware work and the PS3 does not have PS2 hardware it has PS3 hardware and the PS2 software will not work on the PS3
If the ps3 has backwards compatibility. The only ps3 system that will play a ps2 disk. (not a burned or copied disk) The 20gb and 60gb and 80gb will work. The ps2 system data is a download off of the play station store. This download won't work on the ps3 slim. I download the ps2 system data file off of the play station store. Then after I download the ps2 system data folder. I putted the ps2 disk (not copied or burned) in the ps3 slim and it didn't work. The only ps3 that will play a ps2 game has to have 4 usb ports. If the ps3 has 2 usb ports it won't work. Every ps3 model will play a ps1 game. If you have a ps2 a ps1 game will play on it. The 80gb ps3 doesn't play as many ps2 games as the 60 and 20gb ps3 do. The 20gb and 60gb play the most ps2 games.
There is no software hardware or anything else that will let you play PS2 games on the 40 GB PS3 or any on the other models that also do not play PS2 games
yes the first gen ps3 can play ps2 and playstation games Any of the PS3 with 4 USB ports will play PS2 games, but the 1st Generation has both hardware and software.
No it is not free to download PS2 games unto a PS3. Most PS3 can not even play PS2 games but even the old 4 USB Port PS3s that can play the PS2 games can not download them for free. Even the old PS1 games that the PS3 can play are sold at the Playstation Store. Sometimes Playstation Plus customers are offered free games that expire with there Playstation Plus membership
