Do you still use an actual PS1 to play PS1 games?
If i'm playing a physical disc of a PS1 game I just put it in my PS2. Given the direction games are going, you can play most games digitally on a modern console or computer.
It made me wonder, does anyone still dust off the classic gray console and play on it? I still have mine, but it hasn't been used in 10 to 15 years at least.
I don't have mine anymore (I let someone borrow it in middle or high school and never saw it again). The only reason I would play on it is if a game had compatibility issues with the ps2 and PS3, which I think would be pretty rare. I was having issues with the video cable or port on mine back then in which the cable had to be plugged in just exactly right or the video would get all weird, so that made it pretty inconvenient.
Mine is hooked up an everything so yeah. A few games won't play properly on the PS3 and since the PS1 is all hooked up, I just use it instead of the PS2

Yeah sometimes a PS2 wont work with PS1 games. I used to plug my ps1 in to play old games but I haven't played nay old games in a few years
I tried to play Spyro a few years ago on the old PSONE, but it looked really bad on the tv.

I think it still had issues with some games, but I'm not sure.
I have some foreign fighting games for ps1 that will only work with the old school ps1. Still been a few years though.
I still have my PS1, but due to backwards compatibility on the PS2, it has not seen much action since the early 2000s.

I bought a PS1 to take with me to college (so my brother could play on our PS2 after I left), but once I had the money to buy a used PS2, I haven't really touched it. I'll still use it occasionally, if only to hear that classic boot up

It's been a while since I played any, but if I did I would probably use my PS2. I have a GameStop brand controller for it that is actually really nice, so I'd want to use that instead of the originals.
I haven't even tried to hook up my PS1 in years. I briefly tried to get my PS2 working on a modern TV, but quickly just gave up and used my PS3.
I can barely even remember the last time I played a PS1 (or PS2) game on a console.

Yeah I need to. I still play C&C Red Alert with Link Play sometimes.
I know I've mentioned it in similar threads, but my copy of Xenogears would always lock up on one of the later boss fights. I think it was Dues? Anyway, it locked up on multiple variations of PS2s I tried.Do you have the big brick? I figured the backwards compatibility problem was solved when the slim came out.
