Can I play PSX/PS1 games on PS2?

**Dell** · 08-20-2006, 08:50 AM

Can I? If yes, how?

**crono_logical** · 08-20-2006, 08:54 AM

Yes, put the game in the tray as normal

You can't save though unless you have a PS1 memory card

Personally I'd put PS1 games in my PC these days and use an emulator instead

I've tried it but I get my memory card screen (The one where you can copy or delete data) instead.

From my experience, the PS2 doesn't read PS memory cards, so you end up having to play a game without saving... :/

Dunno if this is just me, or.

That must be just you. it might be the problem of a third party mem. card. I have all Sony cards and they work fine on the PS2

Maybe you guys get it wrong. I mean when I insert PS1/PSX CD, I get the memory card screen (*SEE MY PREVIOUS POST*) instead of the game screen.

Or it could be yet another problem of poor quality Sony hardware.

Clout, what emulator do you use?

PSXe is my favorite, roto.

That means your disc is corrupt. It can't read the disc, so it boots you into the browser instead. Try resurfacing it; you can get resurfacing kits pretty cheap these days.

Most game/video rental shops will do it for like a buck. Or use the toothpaste trick. Plain white toothpased applied in a circular patterna around the disk. Wipe it off with a hardly damp wash cloth. If you have any questions, ask HSU. He posted a damn good guide one time, and I am far too lazy to work out the wording.

with reguards to the PS2 not reading 3rd party memory cards its only in the menu that they dont read them if you want to see whats on the memory card is to have a game like Abes Exodus which can read and delete the saves on your non sony memory card, you can still use the memory card to save your games just that the PS2 wont read your card (prolly a scam to get people useing sony memory cards)
