Instructions

Things You’ll Need:

  • Specific Model of Sony's PlayStation 3 Video Game Console
  • Step 1:
    Find out if your PlayStation 3 is one of the models capable of playing PlayStation 2 games. Certain models are capable of playing PlayStation 2 games and certain models are not. The only models that can play PlayStation 2 games are ones that contain 4 USB ports.
    If your PlayStation 3 has two USB ports, it is not a model that can play PS2 games.
  • Step 2:
    Put your PlayStation 2 game disc in your PlayStation 3's disc drive. Do this the exact same way you would put a PlayStation 3 disc in the drive.
  • Step 3:
    Let the PlayStation 3 load the game disc automatically. After a few seconds, the system will recognize that there is a disc in the drive and initiate it. The game will then load and you can control it, using your PlayStation 3 controller.
