PS3 Help
August 3rd, 2016
I’m not an expert on PS3 hacking but clearly you will need some sort of hack on your device – either hardware or software – to allow you to play iso files. I know that the 3k3y is a hardware device which emulates the original optical drive and will fool your ps3 into playing backups on a usb drive. I think they are about $100 or so. At least that will give you a start. Oh, and for future reference, this should go in help desk, not games since it a request for help, not a game. Good luck getting it sorted and I hope you enjoy some good games with your kids.
well you need to find out on what firmware your ps3 is(system settings tell you that). If you are on fw 3.55 or less than you can install custom fw just using usb stick. If you are on fw above 3.56 you need to have it downgrade first by someone. Option two is that you use 3key. Your ps3 wont play ps2 games because its ps3 slim model that doesnt have ps2 compatibility anymore.To play ps2 games u need ps3 phat model.
Ps2 games are playable on every PS3 with custom firmware!
Ok so the PS3 is model CECHP01 and the version firmware says 4.50… Thanks
i'm new at this how do i put this on the ps3 hardrive? i put it on a usb stick but i can't find it. Sorry new to the ps3 world just bought for kids for christmas and trying to put some games on.. thanks to anyone and everyone that can help... Oh and another thing everyone was telling me i could play PS2 games but when i put a game in it says it won't play it... thanks

Your model came out on fw 2.50 so it can be downgraded.
