I don't know if this is a good idea, but recently I've got a few requests about how does PS2 games work on non-backward compatible PS3 with Cobra. So here it is! May be someone will find this list useful.
All test was performed on model CECH-2501A. And I must admit, that you can't save your progress, because emulator doesn't support memcards. And also (for slim models only) it's necessary to connect controller via usb-cord.
Watch my channel on youtube.
