PS3 BC is better than expected.

I just tested all games in my collection. Only 4 games won't run, Guitar Hero (controller problem), SSX and Tekken Tag Tourny on the PS2 and Final Fantasy VIII on the PSX. Even games not listed on the BC web site like Sega Genesis/Mega Drive Collection and NfS Hot Pursite 2 ran and I didn't notice a problem in any of them. The message that comes up when a game wont run says to check for an update to the PS3, hopefully 1.7 will make the rest run.

 Now if M$ could get the 12 Xbox games that wont run on my 360 working I would be happy with BC.

According to the BC list, I only can't play Metal Gear Solid 2. GTA: San Andreas has got problems.

But at least my favourites (God of War, Shadow of the Colossus) can be played.

The PS3 right now is only emulating the Emotion Engine on European consoles. It still has the PS2 graphics card in it. The 360 has to emulate both the CPU and GPU. Eventually they will take the GPU out of the PS3 as well and whole new emulated list will come out. Unless they actually leave that chip in there forever.b11051973

...which is entirely likely to be based on whether it will save them money or not. Quite impressed with BC so far :) Better than I hoped for in fact but then I doubt my catalogue of PS2/PS games is as numerous as you guys as I'd ditched most of my games for PS2 long ago...

Ade.
