The TRUTH about the PS3's backwards compatibility...
Loading...
Uploaded by slurrey on Dec 12, 2006
FIXED in firmware 1.50!
PS1/PS2 upscaling in 1.80! But it's not REAL upscaling. Why? Cause the polygons themselves aren't rendered in high def, the entire image output is just put through a filter to make it look upscaled. The same method is used for upscaling DVD picture quality to 720p/1080i/1080p.
============================
The glitch shown in this video only occurs on firmwares earlier than 1.5!

@VaMaZa666 except for the fact that Sony advertises backward compatibility on the PS3 and people bought them with the understanding that they would play AND would be upconverted, not downgraded!
-
Okay people contact Sony by phone or email here to tell them to put full bc back on the ps3.
-
After 6 years this argument is still valid smh Sony.
-
It's best to play games on the systems they were intended for, that's why I have all 3.
-
@renoloverxoxo I bought the PS3 320 gb Uncharted 3 bundle, and it plays PS1 games.
-
Is it better to play PS1 games on a PS2 or a PS3 slim?
-
@joewizard100 It will if you use normal AV cords, it looks ok if you try it
-
@renoloverxoxo the ps3 versoin is really bad quality compared to ps2/ps1, you might want to check it out before you do. In other words it isn't stretched to the screen properly and looks really pixelated.
-
@joewizard100 The cord that connects my PS1 to the TV is fucked up so I just use my PS2. They look great on either. I want to get the download version of Final Fantasy 1-9 on the PS3 though.
-
@renoloverxoxo the ps2 game requires an emulator or something and not every ps2 game is compatible with it, so they took it out of the newer ps3's. Sucks =[ Even the psx games look like crap on the ps3. It doesn't fit to my HDTV at all, good job I own 2 psp's, 2 ps2s, and a psone haha :D
