We heard the news from thePlayStation Boards, but we had to try it for ourselves.
It works! If you’re sporting the latest firmware versions for your PS3 and PSP (2.10 and 3.80 respectively), you can pop a PS1 disc into your PS3 and play it on your PSP… wirelessly!
Owners of both systems already know the joys of having your video, audio, some gameplay, and PS3 internet in the palm of your hands, but now your classic PS1 favorites join in the fun.
Our test included several games, and we have to say that you’re better off with RPG and strategy games than you are with action or fighting titles; the delay screws up the timing. I was able to boot up some old favorites likeWild Arms, Lunar, Xenogearsand many more, and each played totally fine.
To do this, simply insert a PS1 game into your PS3 and start the Remote Play app. Now select Remote Play in your PSP to bring up the PS3’s XMB. Simply select the PS1 disc in the XMB as you normally would on your PS3 and begin playing.
