Im running into the same problem. Your easiest and most reliable idea is a ps2 with free mcboot and openps2loader or other programs like hdloader, usb advance etc.
custom firmware allows your ps3 to do things that sony doesnt like. with cfw you can run backups ps3 backups and with cobra dongle it can emulate some ps2 games. an opl iso was made to load ps2 iso off usb and network but you need cfw to do it.
im using swapmagic to load opl and it doesnt find my games so the new update 4.00 may have taken that out
i finally got open playstation2 loader working on my ps3. its a cecha01 on ofw 4.00. sonys updates didnt take this functionality away. its a big pain cuz you have to find a revision of opl that works on your bc ps3. i personally used opl r590
