Sony dropped the Emotion Engine from the PS3 so now all Backwards Compatibility is handled through emulation ... They have already said that some games will no longer work by are unwilling to give a list until the PS3 launches in Europe. Their reluctance to produce a list has many people thinking that the compatibility will be similar to that of the XBox 360 ...
Barbie Horse Adventures for everyone ...
Actually they still have the GS intact on the motherboard, so they just removed the EE/GS combo.
For those who don't know, the GS is the graphics synthesizer. Despite the EE being emulated, they will not be able to enhance the graphics of PS2 games.
Software emulation is the same way the 360 does BC. Basically it's a software program that acts just like the hardware the game was originally intended for so you can run SNES games on your PC, for example.
