Can I use any PS one game on a brand new PS2 console?

Question

I just bought my first PS system. It's a new PS2 and I want to buy a game that I noticed was published in 2000 as a PS one game. Will it be compatible?

Answer 1

yes you can.......and even though it doesn't apply to you, you can not play PS2 games on the PS1. That way, Sony won't have people buying the PS2 games unless they buy the console.

Enjoy the PS2. I have one and I really like it. Just make sure to keep the fan clean on the back, bottled air works good and cleaning it out every so often. You can get it at Walmart

Answer 2

Yes, but you need to know memory card using ps one game is only work for ps one game. So if you want to play ps one game in PS2, you stick in ps one memory card in PS2. Also remember some PS2 games are only work for PS2 game controller. good luck.

Answer 3

yes however their are a few games from the ps1 that wont play on the ps2 they are listed on sony.com


from wekipida

A handful of PlayStation titles (notably Metal Gear Solid: Special Missions) fail to run on the PS2 at all (Special Missions fails to recognize Metal Gear Solid at the disk swap screen, for example). This problem appears to have been rectified in the slimline versions of the PS2, where most of the previously unplayable PS one games can now be played. It is a common misconception that disk swapping in a game (for example, for multi-disk games or expansion packs) is not possible on the PS2 without modifying the console. The anomalous failure of the above title at its disk swap screen may have given birth to this rumor. Software for all PlayStation consoles contains one of four region codes: for Japan and Asia: NTSC/J, North America: NTSC-U/C, Europe and Oceania: PAL, and China: NTSC/C.[10]

Answer 4

yes ps and ps2 are compatible systems so games from both consoles will work

Answer 5

The PS3 has the potential for extra helpful very slightly extra helpful photos, yet creators in many situations only stick to the comparable point for the two consoles, as that is extra handy. on the top of the day photos do not remember besides. once you attempt to return to a determination which console to decide for, i could inspect which video games are attainable for one and not the different, and then %. the only whose video games you want. you will not be conscious the photos lots once you're enjoying besides.
