IN-GAME XMB WITH PS1 GAMES!

Hands down my most wanted FW feature, this should have been available by default when we actually received in-game XMB whilst playing games. Sony may not know this or aware of it but a lot of people use PS3's to play PS1 games and it feels so restrictive when you can't access the XMB. I don't press the pause button I press the PS button when I need to relax whilst gaming, not being able to do so(look at the XMB) with PS1 games feels being trapped in a box! I know it's silly and most people can do without it, I thought so too but seeing as how I'm playing quite a lot of PS1 games I played in the past or missed out on I really need this feature. Hopefully Sony puts this in the top priority list, anyone agrees?

Yeah I argee, its annoying that you can't use the XMB and have to quit the game just to reply to a message, is it the same with PS2 games?-Hoax-

Im not sure I haven't played/bought/downloaded any PS2 games for the system, anyone who has please answer this question :D

Is it me, or did SOny updated this feature a little. Cause i remember when playing PS1 games on PS3, i was signed out. But last week i bought and played Crash Team Racing and i was getting notified when ppl were signing in/out. I dont remember that doing my early days of PS1.PSP107

well most of those games arent actual remakes, they're just the original games which u can play on your ps3 and psp...the remakes usually offer some extra's like hd, trophy support and all that...but it its just for that, why not use the pause button lol?

in any case, in general ive gotten really used to the xmb..on both ps3 and psp..goes well with the other sweet stuff like wireless usb controllers etc..

i just wish it was a little faster and more responsive, sometimes it takes too long to load it up or sync trophies, especially when compared to the 360, but the overall designis a big win and its much more user friendly to me than the 360, but i guess im just used to it...

Screw that. I want in game XMB for my PS2 games. I was playing MGS3 today and got like fifteen messages that I couldn't answer. Granted, I could solve this problem by signing off while playing PS2 games but what about games like SWBattleffront II that I play online?

How could this be possible when playing a PS2 title will sign you out of the PSN...?MushroomWig

It's weird how we haven't gotten anything in the last bunch of firmware releases.Chaos_Bladez

Cross game chat is way more useful... honestly, I used to be one of the nay-sayers, but when I got a 360, I saw the light. I used to really not care, but now that I have the option, there is no excuse for Sony not having it on the PS3 yet.

Custom Soundtracks FTW.

Nothing quite like going on a online killing spree while singing along Burt Bacharach.

No, because I used to play SWBattlefront II and Battlefield 2 online using my PS3.

I've moved on from PS1 and PS2 games now, I only play PS3, have done for the past few years :P

[QUOTE="MushroomWig"][QUOTE="Fightingfan"] I'm not sure if you're correct or not ill have to check later. But I also swear I was able to see the "receive message" icon when playing MGS3. Though I could be wrong.brickdoctor

No, because I used to play SWBattlefront II and Battlefield 2 online using my PS3.

I'd like the ability to have two profiles signed in at once. I usually do co-op with my brother and now we can't because it'll sign us in as a guest. I thought Sony was supposed to patch that?

I recently downloaded ff8 off psn store, I was fighting that spider machine on the training mission (close to the start) and pressed the ps button thinking it would pause, I was wrong and came back to the game to see a "game over" screen, was gutted it didnt auto pause the game lol.
