A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

I caved last week and got Sly Thieves In Time on my steam deck because for whatever reason the disc copy I have freezes up on 2 PS3s: one with and without PS2 backwards compatibility. So far still fun but not quite the level of Sly 3 yet.
I'll also hopefully be playing Sonic Colors for the first time in general on wii if the SD card I ordered arrives by Friday.
Since you mention "without backwards compatibility", I guess you are preparing your own installers to run the game. If so, try to look if there are any known issues between the PS3's emulator and the game, and if there are, look for the patch to inject when creating the installer. And if you're running CFW, iirc you just need to place the patch file in the same folder as the ISO.
I just mentioned backwards compatibility because they're two separate models. Not focusing on that feature so much because I don't think it has much impact on PS3 games played on a native console.
I probably worded my previous comment in a weird and kinda vague way, so my bad for being an idiot. I happen to have 2 unmodified PS3s of different models I have access to, so no CFW. Would love to have a PS3 with CFW but I can't and won't do it to either of my brother's PS3s.
Ah, I see. Sorry for misinterpreting it.
