The next PS is apparently going to be called the PlayStation Orbis, and not the PlayStation 4 (as 4 is Shi in Japanese which apparently means death) – also, the Orbis will not be backwards compatible with PS/PS2/PS3 games (at least not discs – but by either downloading from PSN or streaming to your PS Orbis – complete with ads). The Xbox3 will have BC, though uncertain as yet to whether that is Xbox and/or Xbox360 – or whether that will be region-free or not)

Yes, but where do you think this knowledge actually comes from? It’s people like them that actually publicise this knowledge.

You talk about cursing…yet you go on to do the same thing, hypocritical moron.

You ONLY mentioned Swap Magic and not the Cobra dongle…and guess what, many people can downgrade their PS3s so the Cobra dongle is valid yet you didn’t mention it. In fact, your retarded ass originally directly answered a question from a user that wanted to know how to play PS2 backups whilst on 3.55 KMEAW CFW so your point about 4.xx OFW is bull. Quit being stubborn and admit that you are wrong here.

Your “knowledge”? You mean the knowledge that anyone doing a simple Google search can do and is months old? Wow, thank you o’ saviour! /sarcasm.

Did you read the article? He talks about how the PS2 architecture is tricky and this iOS why it is so hard to emulate. Even on PC it takes a pretty beefy PC to emulate ps2 games at full speed. This is one reason why the PS2 had such a long life. Some of the last Ps2 games looked great like GOW and FF12. Sure they were only 480p but they looked almost as good as x360 early titles.

I am pretty sure there will never be an open ps2 emulator on vita unless it gets hacked. Most likely we will just see some ps2 classics like MGS series that they can get running well enough.

Actually U are a little wrong on that…..vita also has a quad core GPU in addition to quad core CPU. I would say U would have a hard time finding a tablet with the polygon power of a Vita. That’s why 3d games on y iPad 2 look like Ps2 level grafx and Vita looks like ps3 level. If u don’t own a vita Umshould really get a look at the Drake or other top titles and U will see it blows away anything U will see on current tablets including the ipad3 which has awesome resolution but still nowhere near the GPU power of a vita…..BWT I own all these devices so I am not speaking as a fanboy bit someone who has seen and played what is available!

Look at your quad core tablet…vita is as strong as that ..I hate when people make the vita out to be some kind of Uber Handheld

I talked about Swap Magic because it’s the only way a 4.x OFW user like me can play ps2 backups, last time I checked, if you don’t have cobra you can’t play these backups, so this just demonstrate how small minded you are when it comes to hacks. And whatever reason Sony decides to make ps2 games working again is their thing, you’re not anyone to tell them what they can and can’t do, and trust me, when money is involved, sony will do the impossible possible. And stop with cursing cause we can all curse the hell out of each other. Now, why the hell are you even reading this if you don’t like it? why don’t you go troll and bitch somewhere else? I’m here to give out my knowledge for free to people who care, if you don’t care then don’t even bother reading this, or perhaps you can make your own blog and write your shit.

but if you can download a ps2 emulator on your pc then why cant you just download a ps2 emulator for the ps3 ??

Wow.. I will be impressed if they bringing back PS2 emulation to PS3 and also maybe to Vita for the first time. Both PS3 and Vita is a powerful Console.

Last comment…..which is I never understand why people care so much about BC. I mean if U care so much keep your old system…..at this point you can by a PS2 for $30, hack it with a memory card software exploit and either run games from HD or DVD with ESR patcher. Even if U go want to go legit get a slim which are tiny and get your favorite games used for like 5 bucks a piece. To me emulation and classic gaming is mostly appealing on handhelds as I have replayed quite a few PS1 RPGs on the psp and platform classics on NDS. There is so much great content from this generations consoles that I have yet to play I just don’t have time to be messing with old PS2 titles. I do like when they do HD updates though of games that stand the test of time like ICO…..please ifU never played this game get the PS3 version and play it. Top 5 game of all time IMO

True that dog as I have both a SW BC 80gb phat and a non BC 80gb phat and BTW they were both sold in MGS bundles. I will say this the BC model runs hot on the right side of the case although it hasn’t croaked, the non BC fat runs cool as a cucumber with no hot spots anywhere. The early full BC fats were built like tanks and must have had extra cooling becaus they run cool but push out a lot of heat so need room to breathe. The early pats had crappy BDR drives though. For my money those late model nonBC phats seem like some of the best all around models.
