* In consoles without EE and GS, the emulation of PS2 occurs through the "PS2 Classics" package, where the emulation occurs entirely via software, sharing the processing of EE emulation with the PPE cores and the 7 SPE cores. Software emulation has less compatibility between the 3 modes, as it depends on emulating all the components of a real PS2 in a fully virtualized environment. There is no PS2 peripheral support. | * In consoles without EE and GS, the emulation of PS2 occurs through the "PS2 Classics" package, where the emulation occurs entirely via software, sharing the processing of EE emulation with the PPE cores and the 7 SPE cores.

On jailbroken consoles with PS2 hardware, it is possible to override the emulator to use the PS2 Classics emulator instead. This is noteworthy because the PS2 Classics emulator can perform better than PS2 hardware emulation for some titles. For example, the game ''Battle Stadium D.O.N'' is unplayable on either PS2 hardware emulator, but is playable via PS2 Classics. Also, on a jailbroken console, the PS2 Classics emulator can be set up to use custom configs, many of which allow more games to be playable. | |||

Supported via Hardware (EE + GS or GS only) consoles allow the execution of PS2 games via physical media (CD / DVD ROM), including PS2 Classics (hardware) emulation. Consoles with no hardware compatibility can not play PS2 games from physical media, however with jailbroken consoles it is possible to read a PS2 game disc to create a playable copy. | Supported via Hardware (EE + GS or GS only) consoles allow the execution of PS2 games via physical media (CD / DVD ROM), including PS2 Classics (hardware) emulation.
