The PlayStation 2 was designed to be backward compatible with PlayStation games. However, not all PlayStation games work on the PS2. In addition, the later PS2 models could not play all of the games that were released for the earlier PS2 models. This article provides a list of some of the PlayStation and PlayStation 2 games that are not compatible with some PS2 models.
This page was originally rescued from a deleted Wikipedia article, which included original research as well as references to original Sony announcements regarding incompatibilities on the PS2.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Army Men 3D | SLES-02378 | No | Unknown | Game doesn't read on SCPH-50003/50004 PAL V10 consoles. |
SCPH-750XX to SCPH-900XX models
The SCPH-750XX removed the PS1 CPU from the PS2 motherboard, and replaced it with the DECKARD chip that emulates a PS1 CPU. To fix compatibility issues, Sony created patches for many PS1 games that get applied at runtime. However, these patches are effectively region locked, and if you play a version of the game that does not match your console region or a version of the game that did not have a patch created for it, you may run into issues.
The following games may have issues with the SCPH-750XX, SCPH-770XX, SCPH-790XX, and SCPH-900XX "slim" model PS2, reported by Sony Japan, America and Europe.[10][11][12]
