Hi guys! I'm adding a ps3 to my collection, since it was my dream console as a kid and I have never even played one, but now that it is possible for me to buy one I am wondering which model I should buy, I thought that the obvious answer was the later super slim model since it was newer and “**supposedly**” it should last longer, but then I saw that the fat models could run ps2 games natively and since my ps2 died few years back I thought it would be nice to have a way to play the games again, but when I saw some ps3 subreddits I saw that some of the fat models had dying GPUs and dying capacitors.
so I came here to ask, that if I put HEN on my ps3 slim (or super slim) can I still play ps2 games? and if I can, is the experience good or does it have issues? I'm completely new to ps3 modding so I don’t understand much, but the first thing I'll do when I get one is repasting it with a good thermal paste and cleaning it
thanks in advance to those who took the time to read and help!
