They also claimed that memorysticks from PS1 would work on PS2, which didn't. But all is forgiven by backwards compatibility. Go Sony!

PS2 doesnt play PS1 games too well does it? A friend of mine keeps bitching because his PS2 doesnt play his PS1 games movies properly or something similar - of course he got it second hand so it may just be a damaged part.

One wonders how long they will continue the backward compatibility, and when/if it will affect progress of the line...

One also wonders how many fan boys will start saying crap like "PS3 RoXorS! It's still in preduction, and has mor games than GamePube!"

yay backwards compatibility. That makes it 100% certain that your new games are being slowed down or held back by the old games.

C'mon guys. Drop the old technology, then you are certain that the software is not being held back by old software.

Dont be silly, the software cant hold back the hardware. For example I run a NES emulator on my 2.2 ghz pc, but that doesnt mean the pc is being held back, in fact it can play those games better than a NES could. Too bad I cant hook up a controller.

Actually, you can hook up a controller... There were a few ISA and PCI cards floating around a few years back that enabled this... PM me and I'll give you a link to where I'd be getting one.

PS1 games look dodgy on the PS2 if you use the S-Video lead to get better graphics with your PS-2 games.

I agree with you, backwards compatibility is definately encouraged in my opinion.

bad software can hold back good software...

i think that backwards compatibility may be the reason for why win has so many bugs... probably because its also done wrong though...

and I think that if they can do it right, then awesome... i dont like them to lie to sell a product though...

Kintaro · « **Reply #12 on:** 30 December 2003, 04:51 »

The reason win has so many bugs is due to lack of care in the programming department, nothing more. Linux and Unix are pretty backwards compatible without any such problems.

I've never had such problems. Also, the PS2 can smooth out the GFX of PS1 games, which helps

I sure as hell hope PS3 has component video ports for HDTV's. That would rock.
