My Backwards Compatible PS3..

I have rips of my PS1 and PS2 games and I was wondering if there was a way to move them to my PS3's internal/external hard drive and play them.
I can obviously just FTP them over or maybe even use a USB, but is there a way to play them?

I would use the original disc, but most of the discs are damaged due to younger siblings playing the console.

Thank you for your time.

You would need a Cobra dongle to play PS1 & 2 backups or wait for JFW DH firmware to play them.

I recommend him waiting on the jaicrab custom furmware, instead of getting the dongle its cheap and easy to handle. Unlike the cobra with the dongle procedure. Just my opinion.
