Do PS1 cables work on a PS2?

[Anayo]

I'm asking cause a nearby store has a PS2 with no cables for $10. I have a burned out PS1 with cables.

are you talking about the A/V cables? If so yes they'll work on either system

[MrPopo]

They also work on the PS3, though with the PS3 you're obviously best off going HDMI.

Cool. I don't have an HD television, so regular composite cables are all I need.

How about the power cable? It's that same thing that works on the Saturn/Dreamcast/PS1, right?

The power cables should be the same but even if they arnt you should definately pick up that ps2. thats cheap as hell so long as it works.

All legacy peripherals work with all PlayStation family (Including PS3) systems (Controllers, AV Cables, etc...) except for anything that needs a specialized interface such as the PS1's I/O Parallell and Serial ports, or the PS2's iLink and Hard Drive interfaces.

All older accessories that required a controller port are also compatible with the PS2 through it's controller ports, and the PS3 via a USB controller adapter.

Also, yes PS1 (The large model) power cords are compatible with the PS2, but not with the PS3 as it uses a large scale power cord identical to one for a PC.

thanks for the info, although the negcon does not work on the ps3 when playing ps2 games on the ps3. It gets recognized as a dual shock which obviously has different mapping
and to the poster....
GET THAT PS2 for 10 bones DUDE!

Really?

I have the Pelican PS1/2 to PS3 controller adapter and I thought it was supposed to work fine with it on the PS3.

Oh well, at least I've still got a PS1 for when I get a NeGcon of my own.

I always like that about Playstation consoles being able to use same A/V cables..
