can it play the ps1 games like the ps2 original did?

Yes, that's the reason why I bought it. After buying a PS3 and not being able to play old games, I had to find another PS2.

Yes ma'am. I had no problem playing any of my couple dozen PS1 games on this version of the PS2. However, you will need PS1 memory cards, not PS2 memory cards, to save your PS1 game.

Yes, it plays PS1 games and accepts PS1 accessories such as memory cards or multi-tap.

Yes it is however you can't play the 2.0 figures on the 1.0 but all play on the 2.0

Yes, it will play gamecube games. It will play anything the original drive would.

As long as you have a PS3 system I wouldn't see why you wouldn't be able to play it anyway

No Idea about PS2's. But this didn't work as advertised. It's a piece of junk. It also didn't have any way to return it.Save your money for something else.

Not sure of the NTSC-J PS1 but works for NTSC-J PS2 games. Though i would say it should. On my ps2 slim i had to block 3 sensors in order to use swap magic

Yes. The PS3 plays PS3 Blu-Ray games, DVDs, PS1 Games, Blu-Ray movies, and CDs.

If you download them from the playstation store, then yes, i believe so. The store may not carry the games you want, however. Otherwise, i do not believe the system is backwards compatible. Therefore it cant play the disks.

only PS2. However, some games have been remade or remixed to work on this system.

As far as I know, N64 won't work. SNES is hit or miss. PS2 is an impossibility tall order. RPI is just too underpowered for the task (as a general rule, you need at least 10 times the CPU clock speed to emulate well)

Short answer no. You have to copy your file to the hdd and when you want to play it you have to copy it back to the ps3.

I have not try but the package says that it can play ds, dsi games and ds downloadable games. SO to answer your question, yes it can. the cartridges are the same size

The only way you can play ps2 games on it is if they are bought digitally from the psn. That collection is rather small though so I wouldn't count on it.

Sorry friend, no backwards compstibility, I'm afraid. Use the PS store/Amazon to get your fix. PS1 digital downloads are cheap and there are HD remasters of old PS2 games available for the PS3. Happy gaming!

As long as you have a USB connection open on the computer and your mouse/keyboard are the old ps2 connection, then yes this will work just like your old computer.

Yes as long as your computer has a USB input. If you have an older computer you can purchase a USB to PS2 converter and it should still work properly. Hope that helps.

Yes you can play ps1 games or at least most ps1 games but you will need a ps1 memory card to save the ps1 games.
