PS2 Software Emulator Without Cobra Dongle - CFW 3.55
Submitted by Tranced_1; August 04, 2012
A method has been released for those wanting to play some PS2 titles on their PS3's. Previous reports still required the use of the Cobra Dongle. Well I'm glad to announce that the Cobra is not a prerequisite anymore.
However one should note that this still uses the same buggy emulator introduced in firmware update 2.60. This method is for running original retail discs only, so no backups are playable, and is compatible with both the PS3 slim & fat models. The only prerequisite with this method is that you have to be in factory service mode using custom firmware 3.55.
Getting Playstation 2 Software Emulator working:
Method (on Firmware 3.55, without! Cobra-USB Dongle or Downgrade) for all consoles (fat & slim).
- Replace following files on your consoles /dev_flash/ with the ones included in this archive p3dwik-ps2compatfiles.rar
- Get into Factory Service Mode (FSM Tool/Dongle)
- Insert your Original PS2 Game Disc
- It will run.
Note: Backups wont work. You're getting the compatibility of the 2.60 software emulator with all of its bugs.
You can download the required files from the PS3 DevWiki linked below.

i done some reading and it says in order to play ps2 games you have to like downgrade to 2.50 fw
then test the game and if you wana go back to 3.55 you have to update to it its kind of stupid in a way

Now all we need is to crack the PSX backup capability, and we'll be set.

I prefer a BC Ps3 with 90% compatibility, this will only give you about 70%, but it's better than nothing.

If you have a 1st gen bc ps3 it plays 100%. I have one without wifi and it has the emoition chip, just wished this development was in lieu with multiman so I could play backups. Oh well.

The guy who's ps3 goes off with a black screen your ps3 is stuck in factory default mode. You need the right file to get it out of factory default

Hey, just tried replacing the files on my ps3, but it came up with an error on the multiman file manager when I tried to replace or delete the files. I assumed it wouldn't be that easy. How would I go about replacing the files? Use a different file manager or manually do it by removing the drive itself?
