Title: PS1 Accessories compatibility
Post by: rallyman on October 21, 2001, 02:40:53 AM

Hi all.

In regards to Playstation 1 accessories such as steering wheel and gun......are all these accessories fully compatible with Playstation 2?  Just a little curious as I have the Playstation 1 gun and am looking to purchase Time Crisis II for Playstation 2.
Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

I\'m sure I heard somewhere that the old Guncon does work with Time Crisis 2, might be wrong though

Title: PS1 MEMORY CARDS AND GAMES COMPATIBILITY
Post by: matty2000 on October 23, 2001, 01:45:28 AM

Hi
Can someone tell me how a PS2 can play PS1 games, but not manage to save game files using either the 8MB or original PS1 memory card?? I was peed off when I got half way through a nhl season on NHL 2001 and to my dismay I couldnt save the game! How annoying!!!
Anyone got any reasons or ideas?
Thanks
Matt

Well..

PS2 games can only be saved onto PS2 8MB Memory cards..
And same goes with PSX game.. PSX saves to PSX memory cards..

Why?
Cuz PS2 8MB Memory Card uses a different compression technique.. And that MagicGate-security thingy..

from ps2.ign.com:

Time Crisis 2 works with the new GunCon 2 -- and the Guncon 1, from the PlayStation days! Yep, Time Crisis 2 is backward compatible.
