This is not a simple process, it takes around 17 steps and a knowledge of what you are doing to successfully mod your PS3 system each of which has to be done precisely and in a specific order or you run the risk of destroying your console. If the serial number ends with either CECH-20xxA or CECH-20xxB then you have the NEC/Tokins. The second consideration when it comes to jailbreaking is that it can lead to a permanent ban from the PlayStation Network. If you have owned your system for awhile and feel like you have already received your money’s worth, this becomes a very different conversation than if you just unwrapped it from the box today. The first thing you will need to consider is that it will immediately void any warranty Sony has provided on the hardware of your PS3. That being said, there are several things to take into consideration when considering this type of an alteration. This does involve altering (or modding) the hardware inside the PS3 to allow for the play of PS2 (and PS1) games. Many users have taken to a process known as Jailbreaking their PS3s to force the ability of backwards compatibility. It is not as ideal as simply popping in the discs you already own, but it is an option for those titles you weren’t ready to drop as soon as Sony dropped your console. Of course this does lead you to “repurchasing” a game you already paid for, but loading up the PlayStation Store, going to the “Classics” section (specifically the PS2 Classics) will allow you to add games to your cart, purchase, download, and play all of your favorite PS2 games with improved graphics and processing speed. This gives players, like yourself, the ability to play the PlayStation games you loved on your PS2 on your next generation system. Now, we’re not going to say anything about Sony’s motivations with this option, but many of your favorite PS2 games are available for purchase on the PlayStation Store.
Welcome to option 2 of playing your favorite PS2 titles on your PS3, the PlayStation Store. If that 5th letter in that specific section of the serial number is anything but the 4 listed above, we’re very sorry, but your hardware supported backward compatibility quest has come to an end. You will be able to run many PS2 games, but there will be games that you run into issues with.

If that letter is an A (on the 60 GB PS3 model) or a B (on the 20 GB PS3 model), congratulations! You have full hardware backwards compatibility! Should that letter be a C or an E, you will have limited backwards compatibility. Once you find that section of the serial number, the letter immediately following the H will tell us where you stand.
You will be looking toward the end of the serial number for the 4 letters CECHxxx.

You do have other options we will discuss below, but we’re not quite there yet.Īfter verifying that your PS3 has all 4 USB ports, we are then going to be taking a look at the serial numbers of your specific console to determine where along the path of enlightenment, I mean, backward compatibility your console has brought you. If you see that there are only 2 USB ports on the front of your system, we apologize, but your journey to Sony-approved, legitimate backwards compatibility has come to an end. If your PS3 has 4 USB ports across the front of the machine, you are in luck! On your journey to backwards compatibility you have advanced to the next step. But that's something that should have been done at ps3 launch by them and now a lot of people find out that they ask or it and are like wtf because this isn't a situation where the psn launched a year ago, it's been more than a decade ffs Sony.įriends psn account got stolen as well but he was able to give them enough info other than the serial number to get it back, just took way too long considering someone else was using it for a good week or so.First check how many USB ports exist on your PS3 console.

I remember reading years ago on the other place about someone needing the serial number of their first console to hand over to them to get his account back when someone stole it and changed the password and email, the moment I read that I took a picture of my ps3 serial number and kept it with my account recovery codes and when I got lastpass I threw it in there too, I still have my launch ps3 as it never yellow lighted but I never wanted to risk not having the serial just in case, but they really should inform people upon account creation to write down a copy of their serial number for these kind of reasons the same way places like steam tell you to note down recovery codes for 2FA.
