Ugh, that's quite annoying. Glad you made it through, though, and thanks for coming back and telling us!
Huh I thought PS3 is only backwards compatible with PS2, not PS1. Did you have to do something special to get it to play?Maus wrote: ↑Tue Dec 06, 2022 12:03 am So... I actually took "advantage" of the Pandemic to finish the PS1 version of Eternal Blue, which now sits as just my second most favorite RPG (just behind DQ 9).
There was a bit of a hiccup along the way, though... turns out that the PS3 can't switch discs when promoted to do so and I had to start over on Android ^^U!
Other than that... loved it. And I'm itching for a replay!
My PS3 can run PS1 and 2 no problem, but it is a modded console, so it probably runs an emulator.Kizyr wrote: ↑Sun Dec 25, 2022 9:47 pmHuh I thought PS3 is only backwards compatible with PS2, not PS1.

For older systems like that btw I feel like I've more often just found a way to get the old system itself -- hence why I have a Japanese PS1 and Japanese Saturn (I still have my original US PS1 and Saturn), both of which ended up being far less expensive than I expected.
No, it's the other way around -- the PS3 plays PS1 games but not PS2. Which is good, because a cat peed on my (blue!!!) PS1 and it is no longer functional. I have several virtual memory cards of EB and SSSC saves on our PS3.Kizyr wrote: ↑Sun Dec 25, 2022 9:47 pm Huh I thought PS3 is only backwards compatible with PS2, not PS1.
