Are you missing your PS2 games and not available for PS3? Don’t worry we have a solution for that. You can play your PS2 game on any exploited PS3 system, no matter whether it is available on PS3 or not. If you do not have a jailbroken PS3 follow PS3 Jailbreak instructions and apply HEN or Install CFW according to the compatibility list.

In order to install games on any exploited system, you need .pkg formatted files or you can simply run ISO through MM (Emulator “RetroArch”).
