The 3DS still has that coprocessor and can use it to natively run GBA VC games (DSi had it too but never got a VC and lacks a GBA slot so you can't play GBA games on DSi). The NDS had a coprocessor that allowed to boot in GBA mode, but lacked the hardware for natively playing GB/C games. The Game Boy Player had a GB/C CPU on board to allow it to play GB/C games on SNES, altough it was clocked differently. It looks crappy, but it's a very interesting experiment. A hacker lately made SNES games run on NES because the CPU's are very similar. The SNES was technically backwards compatible to the NES but they ditched that feature. Nintendo did something similar, the GBA still had the CPU of the first Game Boy as coprocessor for the new main ARM CPU, so it could boot in GBC mode (thats also the reason the micro couldn't play GB/C games, it had a new CPU without the coprocessor to safe some space). To make it more affordable they released a version without EE shortly after the launch.

The 1st Gen PS3 (the really expensive one) had basically the whole Emotion Engine on board, so it could play PS2 games natively (the EE is very difficult to emulate because it has a lot of coprocessors that have to be timed perfectly, it doesn't even work today in some cases).

That's what Popstarter basically is and that's the reason you can't download it as easy as FMCB - it's copyrighted code. One game bundle (don't remember which one) included a PS1 game and played that through an emulator and a dev was able to extract and improve it, so we can use it today to play PS1 games on our PS2 from HDD/USB.

To make the PS2 Slim that small they didn't include the PS1 CPU, so the slim always emulates PS1 games and thus doesn't offer full backwards compatibility like the fat PS2 does. For the same reason you need PS1 Memory Cards for PS1 games. And it also does that if you start a PS1 game from HDD or USB Stick - it resets and boots into PS1 mode without even spinning up the HDD or booting the OSD. This is because the Emotion Engine is very different from the original PS1 CPU. If the PS2 detects a PS1 CD it reboots into PS1 mode and the game runs natively. If you're interested, I'll write the reason below because I think it's an interesting topic. The others are totally right, if you use Popstarter it's emulated.
