Topic: Having glitching issues with PS2 disc games on backwards compatible PS3.

I have an original fat model backwards compatible ps3 and I've been playing some old PS2 games on it. Specifically The suffering. (Awesome game btw!)
Anyway it plays mostly fine but occasionally it glitches like crazy and sometimes out right freezes up. Is this just how these old PS3's are sometimes or can anything be done about it?

@Truegamer79 Fat 60GB PS3s (the original American models excepted - they have built in PS2 chipsets) play PS2 games via emulation so compatibility with those discs is not at 100% - unfortunately some games (such as "Silent Hill 2" or "Onimusha 3" from my collection) just don't play well at all. I suspect that's what's happening with your copy of "The Suffering".

@LN78
Yeah that makes sense. Guess I'll just play those on my old PS2 instead.

@LN78 the CECHAxx and CECHBxx model fat PS3s have native backwards compatibility with PS2 games instead of emulation.
