PS3 Backward Compatibility?

[RyaNtheSlayA]

PEOPLE LISTEN

60gb: Full B/c (PS1 and PS2)
80gb old or MGS4 version: 99.8% (PS1 full, PS2 is near perfect due to updates)
20gb: Full B/c
40gb: PS1 only
80gb new: PS1 only

Ive also heard that the 320gb and 160gb are going to be PS1 only as well, but again, nothing has been officially confirmed about those models.

You got a link to a list of those .2% PS2 games that AREN'T compatible?

[RyaNtheSlayA]

No but a quik search on Sony's website will bring you to a compatability search and if you have a game that you suspect might not be just throw it into the search bar and youll know fairly quik.

Yeah, I had found that link guys. Thanks anyway. I don't feel like looking up hundreds of games.

The fact that they don't list the games NOT compatible is not a good sign. If that list was short, it would make sense to display it in terms of what wasn't compatible.

That's a good point about the lists.

Hardware bc ftw.

Better than Sony's website, at the very least. And backwards compatibility is not as bad as many would like to paint it; the full hardware/zero emulation PS3 has never given me a single game, out of eighty or so, that hasn't played as smooth as butter. The partial software emulation on the old 80GB SKU isn't terrible, either.

I still hold out hope that Sony will eventually bring about full PS2 software emulation for all the folks that don't have it.

Yeah, still not exactly what I was lookin for, but I appreciate the link!
