Trying to play FF8 on my PS3 and it ain't going....

Any ideas?

The PS1 logo comes up, then it's just a black screen...

I don't have any other PS1 games to try out either... The disc is in perfect condition.

I also used Disc2 and does the same thing.

yeah same thing happens to me, apparently the platinum version of it works but not the original black label.....weird.pappa-ray

That's not true. It works perfectly fine on my 60GB. Do you guys own the 80GB by any chance?

And yes, I have the black label.

I hope so...I'm planning on playing this on my 60GB PS3 when I finally finish FFXII. Gotta defeat Yiazmat first, though.

I've got the same issue and I'm running a 60gig launchLordXelNaga

I have the original Black Label NTSC and it works like a charm in my 80g and in my friends 60g.

The easiest way to find out which 80GB do you have. Does it have 4 or 2 USB ports in the front. If it has 4 then it is a BC machine. If it only has 2 then it doesn't hace BC.

its topics like this that have me regretting my purchase of the 40gbsteveslugga

All PS3 read PS1 games.

Ah no every PS3 model can play PS1 games, the PS2 games don't play on all models. I don't know about why it is not playing for you but I have MGS1 and it is the original black label and it works fine no problem. If you can get a new copy of the game or let a Friend lend you his to find out if your PS3 can read it or not.

Bythe way I have the 60GB from launch.
