Very interesting, thanks for the writeup!

Sony did manage to ship a PS2 emulator that ran on the second-generation PS3 though (1st generation PS3 had actual PS2 hardware inside, but the second generation was software-only emulation if I recall correctly?). Besides knowing exactly about every hardware detail, any idea how they pulled that off on hardware that was much weaker relative to a PS2, compared to a modern PC?

It wasn't very accurate, though. https://www.psdevwiki.com/ps3/PS2_Classics_Emulator_Compatib...

Not saying this is how, but they could have a white list of games they patched slightly.
