I think it depends on the models of the PS2, the first ones had the PS1's MIPS processor included. My bad, I should have been clearer in my post.
PS: As a historic technical side note, I read that Sony did cause some games to not work when they removed that chip from the PS2, because they allowed developers to use the included PS1 processor for their additional processing needs. Sony tried to avoid these problems by increasing the MHz of the EE in order to give it extra cycles to emulate the MIPS processor, but even then some games still suffered as a result. The PS2 is such a complex architecture that different models had problems playing some games.
