Sony will release an adaptor that will allow players to copy and use their old PS1 and PS2 memory cards.

Yes! All your Playstation accessories are fully compatible with the new PS2, this means everything from Multi-Taps to Controllers, Extension Cables and even custom made RGB and VGA adaptors/cables. It also means any accessories for any region (PAL/US/Japan/Asian) are compatible.

Yes! They will! Sony Computer Entertainment boss Ken Kutaragi has confirmed that the Playstation 3 will feature backwards compatibility with the PS2 ans PS one. Later it was confirmed agin at the Sonys E3 conference that the PS3 will be fully backwards compatible with PS1 and PS2 games.

Unfortunately we can't predict what peripherals will come out in the future, however we can be fairly certain that any company bringing out an accessory now or in the future would want to capture as much market as possible from the one product, so they will make it compatible with both PS1 and PS2 standards. If for some reason it is not, they will most likely include multiple plugs (as they do now for steering wheels etc to play on Saturn, N64, PS, DC etc.) to work on different platforms.

No, the PS2 games utilise new technology and processor intensive tasks that the PS1 cannot perform. The PS2 is a whole new machine, however Sony have included the original PS1 chipset for backwards compatibility, meaning you can play [some] PS1 games on a PS2, but not the other way around.

With Sony going for wireless controllers, it's doubtful that the older PS2 controllers will work with the PS3.

No, the hardware is not the same, it is not backwards compatible and it does not have built in PS1/PS2 emulation.

Sony has promised backwards compatibility with PS2 games, but now there is talk that the emulation required to pull this off might not be ready for launch. It's also unknown if all PS2 games will be playable on the PS3 if the do pull off this backwards compatibility.

Your PS2's network configuration settings are stored on the card so that you don't have to enter them every time you want to play PS network gaming.

All models are compatible EXCEPT for the First Three Japanese models (SCPH 10000, SCPH 15000 and SCPH 18000) and of course the NEW smaller 'PSTwo'. The reason? These models are not capable of supporting a hard drive.

Two types of Memory Cards can be used with the GX30, SD (Secure Digital) and MMC (Multimedia Memory Card).

You can divide load sharing of power 40%/60% or better on the +5V and +12V. This value can vary from 50% to 100% based on the load between any two power supplies PS1 and PS2. PS1 + 5V Current measured at 51.76A (capacity 200 A) PS1 + 12V Current measured at 1.92 A (capacity 35 A) PS1 - 12V Current measured at 0.04 A (capacity at 3 A) PS1 output is 285 W PS2 + 5V Current measured at 60.39 A (capacity 200 A) PS2 + 12V Current measured at 2.61 A (capacity 35 A) PS2 - 12 V Current measured at 0.

YES, so hang onto 'em (or buy a new set off eBay for dirt cheap). And they're nice and small as you remember. It's just a standard PS3 Multi-AV plug.

Yes, though you won’t be able to use your old controllers, memory cards, or other peripherals. The PS3 will upscale the PSOne and PS2 games’ video to HD resolutions, should you choose.

I imagine that most devices use simple bilinear filtering to upscale an image. The downside of this is softer edges. I think I’ve seen descriptions of algorithms that attempt to find hard edges in the source material and to preserve them after upscaling. Amish Gramish : I still can't believe it, but Lair is playable on the PSP through Remote Play. &link& I hope that link works Burten : Im in...! Wait .. Goddamit! My sixaxis is broken..

A tech demo of Final Fantasy VII running on the PSP was shown at E3 in 2005. Although Square-Enix currently have not announced any plans for a sequel, they have said that if there is enough interest in it, then they may consider developing this title in the future. The only place that we know of where you can purchase these from are through Square-Enix's Japanese website. However, the bad news is that you must have a Japanese shipping address in order to buy from their online store.

You can directly insert into Image Moments memory cards of the following formats: CompactFlash, MultiMedia Card, SD Card, Memory Stick, MS PRO, and xD-Picture Cards (Standard & H Type). For miniSD, RS-MMC, MS Duo, and MS PRO Duo, you will need to use the adapter that came with your card.

When you're "selecting" a memory card on the Memory cards tab in the Configuration window, just type in the name of the new memory card file, and press OK, and pSX will automatically create the memory card file. Although many games will be able to format the memory card if it detects that it is unformatted, some don't. Because of this, you should start pSX with the memory card loaded, but without any game loaded.
