- Historical context and Sony’s compatibility decisions
- It is legal to convert and play your own PS2 disc backups on a PS3 you own, provided you bypassed no protection measures that constitute a DMCA violation. (The PS3’s jailbreak is legal in many jurisdictions but voids warranty.)
- It is illegal to download PS2 ROMs or PKG files from torrents or warez sites, even if you own the original disc. Distribution of copyrighted PKG files is piracy.

- You have a stock PS3 and don’t want to mod it.
- You only play a few PS2 games (buy them on PSN instead).
- You demand 100% perfect emulation (use PC).
