How PS1 games will work on the PS3

Posted Oct 21, 2006 at 6:43PM EST by QJ Staff

Ó

pspps3We did point out once that you won't really need a PS3 to download and play your PS1 titles -- thanks to the PSP emulation plan. However, Phil Harrison from the PS3 conference said that "PS1 downloads will initially be for play only on the PSP, but will later work on the PS3 when the emulation software is available." You can, however, play these games on both the PSP and the PS3, and they will actually be playable by 2007. All the other titles from the previous consoles will be playable on the PS3, obviously.

We didn't expect, however, what Phil Harrison said concerning the visual enhancements that would be rendered on all the previous titles. He says, "They are as exactly as they were." Put bluntly, the PS3 won't offer any visual enhancements to the games.

Additionally, you can download your PS1 games up to five PS3s, regardless of whether it's on someone else's PS3, but you should use your own account.

What did you win again? : ) Moron. #1 is a total badass. XD





Also, I wasn't expecting the PS3 to make the graphics better, I just want old school on the PSP.

all firmwares after 2.81 will offer a new and better encrytion and the rate of new firmwares will increase. Say RIP to hacking anything past 3.0.

# Can you say I want Bleemcast on the PS3?DrNicket 2006-10-21 21:10
C'mon, if the Dreamcast could make PS1 games easier on the eyes, why can't the PSP or PS3?



Perhaps Sony needs to take more than only one page from the hack/brew communities and see what more they can do.



Before flame wars begin I am vaguely aware of the possibility that indiviual games may have been tweaked.

Right now, Sony is not focusing on graphic enhancements. Sony is just concern about getting every games to work. Once that's done, Sony will work on graphic enhancements.

Am I the only one to realize that what Sony is saying is that we won't be able to play using our PS1 CDs?!

# Im sick of the "I already bought it once" crowdGuest 2006-10-21 22:58
Sony is offering a service. Using direct ISO ports of PSX games is unrealistic if you expect 100% speed. There has to be a conversion. Not only that but you are now able to use this version in a portable format.



Im not sure where we came up with this idea that we should recieve services for free or that if we buy a game on PSX that the version for PSP should cost nothing because that makes no sense. Try taking your copy of Madden 07 back to the retailer and saying you want copies for all the systems. Im sure that will work out really well for you.



If you think about it what they are offering here is an AMAZING opportunity for all the PSX lovers. You can get classic games (many with 30-40 hours playability once through) for ONLY $15 AT THE MOST!!! That is F'n crazy!! How about you go buy the Valkerye Profile port? yeah sorry $40 and all you get extra are some new movies. Great game, but I wish they had just emulated later.



I for one will be buying a straight ass load of PSX titles for my PSP when this service comes out. There are so many good Squaresoft games it makes my head spin. That is the one thing I feel the PSP is missing, good RPGs.



You are buying a SERVICE as well as a product. They do the conversion for you, and in return you pay a minimal amount for a classic blockbuster game. (I really hope they emulate IQ, that game ROCKED!) Stop complaining because you already own one form of the game, you're being little B!T@HE$

of course the games will run smoother, just think the original doom on your pc now, pretty smooth frame rate, but to add aditional stuff would mean you would have to download, not come with ps3, becasue theres lots of psx titles... so dont worry about visuals, its a ps3, not a dreamcast, and the dream cast was not a ps2 either, so i would more likley see almost identical ps2 versions of your psx games on the ps3 just because the psx is an older and less powerful machine but a lot

# U dumd, ludikhris???Guest 2006-10-22 03:53
R u really dumb, what ragarnok, and I of course, is asking what happened to all that hype about playing PS1 CDs on PS3, right off the box?



If we will be "downloading" PS1 games on PS3 when the emulation is available later, then that means I am not going to be able to play my PS1 game CD on PS3...!!



Wasn't it sony that hyped up all the fanboys saying that they will be able to play thousads of games from PS1 n PS2 on their PS3s right of the box?



Damn you, sony!!

# wtf!!+??Guest 2006-10-22 04:31
well i am impressed by sony once again.

i own some ps1 games that i want to play in my psp or in my ps3, obiously i cant get them in my memory stick right from the cd but the emulator should be free.

i dont want to pay twice for my metal gear solid vr missions I'll better play the in my ps1.

-so i think they should be free or lets say $5 is still free an many more people will buy them.

# Not trueGuest 2006-10-22 07:11
In an previous interview Phil Harrison said that the PS1 games you own on cd will be playable day one out of the box the downloadable ones on the PS3 are the only ones you will need to wait for the emulator for. You still will be able to play them on you PSP until thats done.

# I think YOU misunderstoodGuest 2006-10-22 08:21
No real reason to call me dumb. Anyone who thought the PS1 CDs wouldn't work in the PS3 just isn't reading right. Some people just don't own every PS1 game known to mane, so they will go to emulate those games. Any game which they EMULATE will not be playable out of the box. However, any game currently owned on PS1 will play just fine.
