Answer 5

If you have a ps1 memorycard then you can save it using the ps2. I used to do this all the time. I played Tripleplay '98 (ps1 game) on my ps2 and could only save it if I had a ps1 memorycard.

Answer 6

Yes it is true. I can play my old ps1 games on my ps2 but cant save them. Also the games dont work as well so might as well forget it. my ps2 has froze while playing ps1 games on it so dont try it.
