PS1 games on a PS3

Yes.

I'll give a simple answer: just use your discs.

There.

Ps1 games always look kinda funky to me on my ps3. I can't really put my finger on it, but something seems off about them. Might have to do with how it upscales the games to 480p. If the ps3 would just output a 240p signal for ps1 games they'd probably look great.

Well, they'd look like PS1 games, anyways.

PS1 games output at 240p on a PS2 using component. Your TV may not support that specific signal.

At least some PS1 games do 480. When playing Gran Turismo 1 (on a PS2 slim via official Sony component cables to an LCD HDTV...), the screen flickers as modes change from 480i in menus to 240p in racing. Just putting that out there for the truly detail oriented.

And agreed that some HDTVs don't support 240p. Not sure if it is the majority or minority of them (I'm not a TV guy). Exteneral upscalers are available from $50 to $1000+

Yup, that sort of thing happens.

That's quite the price range.

Is there a list on the internet that lists all the PS1 games that have problems playing on PS3 like there is for PS2? Wikipedia just has some weird list of games that "play" on PS3...
