PS3 Singstar patch

[Sam the RAMA fan]

Just a quick question.

Has anyone downloaded the patch from the PSN to make your PS2 SINGSTAR games compatible?

I heard there is if your PS3 doesn't play PS2 games...
(will only allow PS2 Singstar games)
don't know how true it is, and couldn't find anything when I jumped on-line.

Thanks

I haven't needed to use it because my PS3 is backwards compatible. I am guessing that this only works because it is done through the actual PS3 Singstar game in the first place.

PS3 owners can now expand their SingStar PS3 library to include tracks from the likes of SingStar Pop, SingStar 80s, SingStar Rocks!, SingStar R&B, SingStar Amped and other titles from this musical canon.

All a user has to do is to:

1. Ensure your PlayStation 3 console is connected to the PlayStation Network and insert the PS3 SingStar disc of your choice.
2. As the PS3 disc loads, you will automatically be prompted to download a quick software update. Once it's downloaded, you're good to go
3. Start PS3 SingStar session as normal - then head to the carousel, hit the 'Select' button and you'll be able to swap it for any PS2 disc for the rest of the session
4. Next time around, just repeat the process and start again.

It is ONLY for Singstar games though.

It doesn't make the game compatible, it just allows you to use songs off the PS2 disc with a PS3 version of the game.
