It's almost certainly in reference to the recent offical PS1 emulator for the PSP and the sale of PS1 games for download on the online Playstation store only accessable, for the time being, through a PS3.


Currently there are only 5 games offically available in America, on only one of those (The original Crash Bandicoot, which is a decent game) is without a better alternative native PSP game.

However, it's given that Sony will release more games for this service and I'm pretty sure they said they said the games should be downloadable through a PC based service.

Also, the latest firmwares have been hacked, and an alternative firmware with the browser and PS1 emulator of later firmwares and the homebrew capabilities of 1.50 has been made. Allowing the PSP to play ripped ISO's of PS1 games with generally perfect play back.

One or two titles have been reported to not work, but generally every NTSC PS1 title works perfectly. Final Fantasy VII is reported to play perfectly with the exception of artifacts around menu options.

So in essence, if Sony can get the rights to any of it's extensive back libary (and Tekken 2 being released seems to indicate that they are seeking third party games for release) then they can release it.

I'm assuming the ability to play these games on the PS3 will follow shortly.


Although I doubt that Final Fantasy will be available for download, simply due to it's massive file size. And I don't know how well the emulator would handle multiple discs.
