    I loved how you explain everything in detail. I have a CECHA07 (Taiwanese model) PlayStation 3 that’s backwards compatible with PS2 games. But it takes NTSC-J with PS1 games too. I hardly play them. My limit is an hour and a half. Maybe 2 hours if I feel like it lol. Nice job! 🙏

      Change out the thermal paste and keep the internals and fan clean of dust and dirt. Also only playing PS2 games won’t make it overheat as you are not pushing it to it’s limits. I have mine just for PS2 games and a super slim for PS3 games. There are many tutorials on how to do that specifically for the model number you have.

    for more info, the 60 gig is much more preferred, because it has the actual ps2 Chip, where as the 80 gigs uses emulation. Some issues have been known from emulation, but not alot. So if you had a choice I would get the 60gig.

    Technically, "all" PS3 models are backward compatible, because some ps2 games can run on ps3 solely with software emulation, thats why Sony release some PS2 Classic games on PSN Stores.
    But only original 60 GB (CECHA) full hardware backward compatible ps3 that can run 100% ps2 games, while partial emulation 80GB (CECHE) model can run up to 80% of PS2 library.

    Seems there's a lot of confusion in the comments. If there are 4 usb ports you have a backwards compatible PS3. Now if you have a model A01,B01. These PS3's run PS2 original hardware. If you have an E01 or 80 gig model that was bundled with Metal Gear Solid those run PS2 games under emulation.

    Maybe he just doesn't know for sure himself but as I'm understanding it all Fat PS3 with 4 usb ports are supposed to be backwards compatible.
    Is that not correct or did the ebay seller not know what he was talking about?

    The limited means that the E01 has less compatibility than the B01 and the A01. Also some games have issues running because of the software emulation and those same issues have transferred to the digital PS2 games on the Playstation store. At least the ones that do have issues.

    I just got a CECHG01 today from a local flea market. Pretty good deal, $99. I never really knew there were this many differences in the backwards compatible and non-backwards models. The things I noticed were that it had 2 USB ports as opposed to 4 on the backwards compatible model. I also saw that the disc drive was less shiny as opposed to the shiny chrome on the backwards compatible one. I also didn't even notice that the lettering "PLAYSTATION 3" were less shiny either. I had an 80 gb backwards compatible just like the one in this video that I got used last year. It only lasted about 2 months, and then it got YLOD. I'm just curious, does the non-backwards compatible fat model still overheat as bad as the backwards compatible ones? I just hope I don't get burned again. It's the fat model that he has that's not backwards compatible. It actually super quiet so far surprisingly.

    Does this backward compatible still work now in 2023? and the one with software emulation, will it work with games from disc?

    I just bought a non backward compatible and i have an old backward compatible that is not working anymore.
    The good question is... if I replaced my non backward fat ps3 with the motherboard of my old Fat ps3 backward compatible motherboard, could it work? I have very basic knowledge on how to do it but wanted your opinion before yhe attempt. Thank you!

    Fat PS3 have a faulty GPU design, they will all die quicker than any other model. Any hacked PS3 can run PS1 and PS2 games. The more desirable models are PS3 slim because they support custom firmware, they have a revised GPU design, both GPU and CPU are built on better nodes (less power hungry, less hot) and the overall design is not as cheap as super slim models.
