Why can ps2 games work on PS3 but PS3 games cant work on ps2?

First most PS3s do not play PS2 games but the ones that did were designed to play many PS2 game titles and a PS2 was not designed to play any PS3 games. They are very different consoles and the PS3 is much more technologically capable than a PS2. The PS3 also has a Bluray disc drive that can play Bluray Discs, DVDs, and Cds and the PS2 has a DVD Discs drive that can play DVDs and CDs but not Bluray Discs. The PS2 does not have the computer power needed to run the PS3 software and when titles are released for both consoles the game has to be downgraded to run in the PS2 just like they do for the portable game players releases that are also released in Xbox 360 and PS3 versions. Even the Nintendo Wii can not run the software of the PS3 and Xbox 360 games and there games are also downgraded. Older PC model and Laptop owners might find that they do not meet the minimum requirements to run the new PC games that have software programs like the PS3 and Xbox 360 games and the same is true for the PS2. It just does not meet the minimum requirements needed to play PS3 games and is well past time for a system update to the PS3.


Software for converting ps2 game to PC game?

There is none the software for an emulator like PCSX2 uses the PS2 bios to allow a PC to run the PS2 game software and not to change the game to a PC game. The PS2 game is much harder to set up and play than if you could just make it a PC game


How can ps2 games work on a PS3?

They can't except on early PS3 models that needed the PS2 game titles to insure that the PS3 was marketable, because it was released with only a limited number of PS3 games. These PS3 models sold at a loss to Sony and the ability to play PS2 games was discontinued as soon as enough PS3 game titles were available. See related link. While all PS2 games will fit into the slot for games it is because the PS3 can play CDs, DVDs, and Blu-ray discs and not because they can all play PS2 games. They can't The PS3 games consoles with 4 USB ports are the only ones that will play PS2 games according to Sony. Sony did not design the other models to be able to play PS2 games and there are no updates, hardware, software, programs, ETC that you can purchase to allow a PS3 with only 2 USB ports to play PS2 games. It is not actually the number of ports that matters so much as it is a way to identify the PS3 consoles that can play PS2 games. Sony also claims that all PS3 models will play select PS1 games. see related link
