That's where he's getting this from. He's looked through the first 1000 titles so far, I think.

OK. In additon to this list are a number of pachinko and H/love games that do not work. Beyond that there are also a number of crappy games, which no one should care about that I didn't list. Almost anything from IF has issues (spectral souls etc), a couple simple 2000 games, etc. There's an interesting problem with the list, some game are list several times, like say OZ, which appears 4 times so far. Each one has the same problem so that seems to inflate the issue. There are also instances where certain games appear several times, but has problems in some but not others (Koei is the king of this so far). Yukes also seems to have a bunch of problems, but I doubt anyone cares. It's a bit of a mess. Oh, also, many of these are all possabilities... it MAY screw up, not it WILL screw up.
I'm done for now. I have other stuff to do, sorry.
Fatghost said:So are there really no enhancements at all for PS1 or PS2 games?
Does the PS3 even do the texture smoothing/fast loading the PS2 did for PS1 games?
What about output resolution? Does the PS3 at least scale the games or does it only output 480i/480p depending on the game and let the TV do the upscaling?
dark10x said:With region protection still in effect for PS1/2 games, I wouldn't be able to play anything recent.
BlueTsunami said:All enhancements seem to be coming when the actual BC software comes out. For now, on the PS3 that are being released first, the systems are using the physical processors in the PS1 and PS2 for BC.
When the actual Emulation Software comes out we'll probably see enhancements, its still up in the air as to what the enhancements will be though.

gururoji said:Has that been confirmed?! If so, crap.
Fatghost said:I know there are no enhancements.
However, the PS2 provides minor PS1 enhancements in hardware, and since the PS3 uses PS2 hardware, I want to know if these built in enhancements are carried forward.
Fatghost said:Also, the PS3 has an internal scaler that scales output to your screen the way the X360 does. You can select if your PS3 will output 480i/p, 720p, 1080p, etc. I want to know if this carries forward to PS1/PS2 output. I know the PS3 doesn't internally re-render BC games at a higher resolution, but I want to know if it scales the output like it would with other video.
Mefisutoferesu said:OK, I'm not gonna do that listing again, since it's too much for too little, so instead I'm gonna do a list of games that concern ME - big name games.
Street Fighter 3rd Strike (all variations including it except Aniversary) - NP
That's all my stuff. Relatively unscathed.
Yeah I read a report (damn I can't remember quite where) that they had inventory problems with some of their accessories. Specifically named was the adapter, and that it would only make half the expected quantity for launch.DCharlie said:p.s. NO save game transfer cables were available for us this morning.
Mmmkay said:Yeah I read a report (damn I can't remember quite where) that they had inventory problems with some of their accessories.
Fatghost said:Is this from some official list or did you test these out yourself?
And why is SF Anniversary not listed? DON'T SCARE ME MAN!

Mefisutoferesu said:It simply wasn't listed like MGS3. unless the JP version is called: Hyper Street Fighter II Anniversary Edition... ... I think it is...
Hyper Street Fighter II Anniversary Edition: There are several scenes in the game that don't appear properly. There are times when the SF movie plays improperly.
M3wThr33 said:What format are the PS2 saves stored as on the PS3?
Could I just use the Action Replay, back it up onto my USB stick and plug that over?
Mefisutoferesu said:Metal Gear Solid 3 - NOT LISTED !!!!!!!!!!!!!! SNAKE!?! SNAKE!?! SNAAAAAAAAAKE!?!
Leidenfrost said:I know that the Futureshop website here in Canada just put a notice saying that they would not be receiving BD movie remotes on launch day. Perhaps the accessory problem is widespread.
BC is not 100% hw (read below), and unlike PS2, it's actually firmware upgradeable. Depending if Sony cares about it or not - it could go up to 100% with updates.DarienA said:Conclusion is we're not getting 100% BC, anyone who thought we were.. pipe dreamin.
The issue affects only newer Slims (a revision released about 12months after original PS2 Slim) and it has absolutely nothing to do with EE+GS, it's the PS1 chipset that was replaced by emulated one that altered compatibility (affecting a total of about 30 titles IIRC, and I believe they are still all playable regardless).TheIkariWarrior said:IIRC, and i might be wrong, the EE+GS chip in the slim PS2 emulates less PS1 games than the old PS2, and emulates some games worse.
It's not using the same PS2 EE&GS (though similar) and PS1 chipset afaik is handled entirely in software (which is the more likely cause for compatibility issues - most of the reported problems are pointing to issues with sound and I/O).that chip is in the first-gen PS3... so who knows.
Onimusha 1 - Sometimes the audio doesn't play right during movies.
November 10, 2006 - If you plan on picking up a PlayStation 3 anytime soon and are worried about the dent that the system and its peripherals will put in your wallet, you may want to consider picking up some USB adapters for the PS2's Dual Shock 2 controller. These relatively cheap adapters are made for using a Dual Shock 2 on a PC, but they seem to work quite well with every PlayStation 3 game that we've tried. You need to switch on the analog button when you plug them in and they're missing the PlayStation button that brings up the Cross Media Bar, but other than that they seem perfectly functional.
With that, we assumed that Guitar Hero and its sequel would work perfectly well on the PlayStation 3. Unfortunately, that doesn't seem to be the case. When you pop in a PS2 or PSone game, you're prompted to tap the PlayStation button on the controller. For what reason, we're not sure, but as Guitar Hero's SG controller doesn't have this button, you can't actually activate it. You also can't quick-swap from one controller to another as the second part of the problem lies in that you need to turn on analog control, but again, the SG guitar doesn't have an on/off button for analog play.
