IGN interviewed Haruki Suzaki, the project director for Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection, the man behind the PSP version and in charge of the downloadable PS3 version.

Here are some highlights of what Suzaki had to say about the PS3 version:

Jinpachi Mishima is playable. Other than that, it is a complete port of the arcade version of Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection; the gameplay has not been messed with. And it's fully HD compatible with beautiful graphics.

Graphics. Suzaki said it wasn't difficult to port the game to the PS3 because the PS3 is far more powerful than the arcade hardware. However, the graphics were very different, and they had a tough time upgrading to 1080p, although they did use the same textures and character models (before the PS3 came along, they would have had to remove polygons or make the textures simpler).

Downloadable Content">Downloadable content. If demand is high, they might add Gallery Mode.

Versions. In terms of special game features or modes, there are no differences between the Japanese version of Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection and the English version.

Modes. The downloadable PS3 version is a port of the arcade version with some extras thrown in. The PSP-exclusive modes aren't in the PS3 version, but the PS3 version's Ghost Battle Mode is based on the PSP version's Gold Rush Mode.

Tekken versus Virtua Fighter. Suzaki said that he and Katsuhiro Harada agree: a "Tekken versus Virtua Fighter" game needs to be made - but it will be difficult to do. "More than anything, we believe this decision greatly lies in our fans," Suzaki said. "So, we would actually like to ask for our fans' opinion on this."

I didn't know the Tekken guys and Virtua guys were homies. That could be a fun game, but the fighting engines are so different that they'd have to make it very Tekken or very Virtua Fighter.
