ps1 and ps2 games can be played on the PS3?

can ps1 and ps2 games be played on the ps3?

Answer #1

Depends. Certain ones can, while others can’t. You have to just try and see.

Answer #2

PS1 can but Ps2 you have to download something I think, or get a new system or something. Not positive. Check the faq’s at playstation.com

Answer #3

It depends on the version of the PS3 you have. The new slim ones are NOT backwards compatible. The first generation had hardware emulation for PS2 games, and would play 99% of them. The second generation had software emulation that didn’t work as well and was only compatible with about 3/4 of the PS2 games. As far as I know all models support software emulation for the PS1 games. Check out http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PlayStation_3.
