PS One titles - Blu-ray Forum

crazybat_07 · 12-04-2008, 10:00 PM

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:

Model# CECHK01 (80GB PLAYSTATION®3 System)
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.

I havent tried any so maybe i should try first....but I interpret "may play" as a maybe and you think its a yes. Maybe you have experience with it whare as have not tried it yet

PS1 games play on ALL ps3's? then why they selling ps1 games on the store (badly, at that)?

Can anyone confirm?

Clark Kent · 12-05-2008, 04:53 AM

Virtually all PS1 games play on every model of the PS3. The difference in backward compatibility comes with the PS2 games and varies greatly depending on the model.

To make more money? You can also play those PS1 games on the go with your PSP, plus if they actually released some of those PS1 classics, lots and I mean lots of hardcore gamers would buy them. I can think about 10-20 games I would easily buy off the store, shit if they put GT or GT2 there I would buy it so I could play it on the PSP.

'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.
