Can you use a ps2 mem card on a 20g ps3?

May be...

I am buying a ps3 on ebay and I asked the question on wheather it was backwards compatible and that was answered but someone made the comment that I would not be able to use my ps2 mem card. Any one know anything on this?

if you buy an adapter

yes, they are backward compatible

There right in away you can buy an attachment for it to work. But first you got to create a memory card for the ps2 on the ps3, just go to internal memory card where you load your disc and call it PS2.

The PS3 only has usb slots and no memory card slot like the ps2

Yes you can play the ps2 game on the 20gb PS3 i am assuming your american btw because if you are not then the NTSC (american) PS3's do not work in the UK.



Anyway to use the PS2 memory cards you need 2 buy an adapter for it. I would recommend this site if you live in the UK.

I said that PS3 consoles will not work as they are not PAL, they are NTSC. However the games are NOT region locked

Gibbs said that an American PS3 won't work in the UK. He is wrong. PS3 games are not region locked. Ps2 games are, so if you have an American PS3 and American PS2 games, then it will work. A japanese ps2 game, for example, will not work on an American PS3.

Yes, you can. Buy the memory card adapter first (it's around $15). Then, on the PS3 game menu, there's a way for you to create a "Virtual memory card", which means it sets up 8 MB space on the hard drive for a PS2 memory card. Assign it to virtual slot 1 or 2. Now plug in the memory card adapter, and insert the memory card. Now you can transfer files from the card to the PS3 hard drive. You cannot save or load PS2 games directly from the adapter. All save files must be transferred to the PS3 hard drive.



You can change the slot assignment at any time, so you can create as many virtual cards as you need.
