PS One titles - Blu-ray Forum

I've been wanting to purchase some 1st generation games from Playstation One like Dino Crisis 1 & 2 and i'm not too sure if they'll be playable on my ps3. Could you guys help??

What is it you need help with? Determining of those particular games are playable on the PS3 or PSOne games in general?

If it's the latter, I can tell you from my own experience that it's indeed very playable. The only drawback is the use of the L2 and R2 buttons which can get tricky as they weren't analog back in the PSX period.

Just got my 80g ps3 a month ago and my research said non of the ps & ps2 games would work on my system

It looks like all of the 80GB can play PS titles, but it is limited. Does anyone have a link to a list of compatible titles?

Based on the consumer alert:

This model of the PLAYSTATION®3 system is designed to play PLAYSTATION®3 format software and has limited backward compatibility. This system is not compatible with, and will not play, PlayStation®2 format software. Some PlayStation format software may play on this system

Exactly, PS2 games won't play, PS1 games will.

'Mostly'.

There are some [FF Chronicles being the big one to me still] that have rather big glitches in gameplay.

Is a helpful little page though.

I hope one day they can get ps one emulator to the point that computer emulators are at, the scanlines look so cool... with advanced post processing.
