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!

Don't worry about that keep pressing on to evalution it's not a learning curve.

All PS3 systems including the recent "Super Slim" models will play PS1 game discs.Most PS3 systems will NOT play PS2 game discs. The only PS3 models that will play PS2 game discs are CECHB01, CECHA01, and CECHE01. These models were discontinued in 2008. So if you got a PS3 after, it probably will NOT play PS2 game discs. Just double check the model number on your system. PS1 game discs = will workPS2 game discs = will NOT work (most likely)

It does play PS1 games. The other answers here are wrong when it comes to that, but it WON'T play PS2 games.

all ps3s play ps one games (physical disks). only certain "original fat" ps3 models also play ps2 games.

It does not play Playstion one games. I've heard that some systems will play PlayStation two games however I've never owned a system that played the games. I haven't tried it with that particular system, but I doubt that it'll even read a PlayStation two disc.

Just want to reinforce that yes, it will play PS1 games. Anyone who says it won't is wrong. You can play PS1 games from a disc just fine. It's PS2 games that won't work.

Yep, that's why it has two PS/2 attachments. There are markings by the PS/2 jacks that indicate which device goes in which jack.

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.

It has a switch for PC and PS3 but nothing about PS2. I looked at their website but no help there either. Sorry I can't be of more help.

Did you mean for Playstation 2? Probably not because the PS2 does not have an HDMI connection.

Yes it can even play ps1 games, Thats why I bought it. It has worked great for over a year now and the only downside i see is its a bit clunky but thats what you get for having a ps3 and ps2 in one console. P.s from what I understand the 20gb 40gb and 60gb are officially reverse compatible and the 80gb and 160 gb are "sometimes" reverse compatible and are specifically mentioned if they are.

It will play multiple types of disks (CD, DVD, Multi-region) if that is what you mean. It only has a capacity for one disk.

My son says yes, he is playing a PlayStation 2 game even as I type. Hope this was helpful.

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 it does. This was the sole purpose for me purchasing the drive and it works great. As long as you follow the instructions on reinstalling the PS3 firmware onto the drive, you should have no issues. You'll notice a substantial speed increase for system boot and installing/running games. The capacity helps as well.

Hi yes it does my son has one and it plays all his old games. Of course not with the motion control like the new games but with the joystick and buttons.

Yes, I have hooked up my PS2 to the to my EyeTV Hybrid, and it allows me to play videogames on my LCD monitor. Works like a champ.

Hello Andrew, I can only say that tried it with Japanese PS1 only, and it did not work. I did however get it to work using a Action Reply that is designed to work with PS1 games on my slim PS2. You can check on here for details as I just answered a similar question with another person. I hope it works out for you.

I installed this into mine. It is the old version with the PS2 backwards compatibility. It has worked flawlessly for a couple months now.

I use this to play "Fifa" and "Pro Evolutio. ,,n Soccer" only. I don't now if it can play retro games.

yes it wil it has better response with a ps1 controller because the buttons aren't pressure sensitive with a ps2 controller i find you have to press a bit harded for response but if you get a ps1 controller it does work percectly it also works well with ps2 arcade sticks and wheels
