Can PS1/PS2 games look better on PS3?

[Killa]

I jailbroke my PS3 yesterday and I wanted to know if old games looked better on the PS3.

No... but I had a fat ps3 and they do not look better. I’m not sure about a jail broken one

No, if you want the best looking versions of the game possible, either get the PC version, or use the emulator to enhance the game that's all there is to it.

I also have fat PS3, and know that you may see some issues, or key differences between playing on PS2, and PS3 by disk using the hardware chip that's only found on the PS3 fat models. The jail break version doesn't really offer better quality, last time I check 6 years ago.

EDIT: Just realized you jailbroke the PS3. Is there a way to install PS2 OS on PS3? Just wondering.

Short answer: No.

There are games that will run through software on Non-Backwards compatible consoles but the list is VERY small.

It's very odd how Sony didn't add a whitelist for PS2 games for non-BC consoles since they still work fine even without the EmotionEngine chip.

Jailbreaking and emulating is PIRACY!

It's not in the slightest.

Jailbreaking a console allows users with burnt optical drives to still play games instead of the console being an expensive paperweight, allows users to control the fan speeds in case the console overheats and most importantly ALLOWS USERS TO SEE THE CPU AND RSX TEMPERATURES which is a very important thing to have especially on fat PS3 models as the non-modified console has no temperature protection.

Regarding emulation, if you buy a NES/SNES/PS1/C64 mini you do know the games are running through an emulator, right?

Emulation by itself is not illegal at ALL. Sharing console code (BIOS) and games IS illegal. Get your facts straight.
