What’s The Best Way To Play Original Playstation Games? | Chad The Gaming Dad

PS3 CFW Wins !🎉!

The contrast levels look quite a bit diferenton the PS3. The clouds are washed out at 4:56, is that from using component or is it down to PS3? Great Video

For me its simple: Besides framerate and resolution Og Version in their OG hardware is the best option. Emulation just like remaster ports just introduce bugs or miss something from the original.

Which Ps2 are you using here? Looking to replay some childhood classics, wondering which model would be the best?!

hice muchas pruebas en diablo 1 de psx, y he notado que en PS3 (super slim con hen), tiene menos frames , pero en PS2 (fat con popsloader), se notan mucho mas fluidas y completas las animaciones, dando mejor rendimiento,
tendria que hacer comparativas con juegos quemados en CD, al parecer al ser juegos fisicos la consola activa la retrocompatibilidad en modelos fat, y al usar POPS, solo la emula

On a PS2 console all you need is a PS1 controller in memory card on a CRT tv

You mentioned the faster load time with the ps2 but didn't mention how much faster the loading time would be. For me that's a game changer for ps1 games

Why are you using composite to record the PS1 and PS2? The PS1 maxes out at RGB SCART, and the PS2 supports the same YPBPR component cables as the PS3. In addition, HD Retrovision sells cables that will transcode the PS1's RGB signal into YPBPR.

Great comparison! Really helps a lot, especially regarding in comparison to the rest.

I know we're 5 years later here, but it'd be interesting to return to this comparison with a focus on the model of PS1 (as well as PS2 in component output). Supposedly, the PS1's graphical quality varies between models. The SCPH-1001 is thought to be the worst (and has the worst performance, period); the SCPH-7501 is said to have the best graphics, performance, and reliability. Models after the SCPH-7501 downscaled internal components, and are said to perform to perform worse as a result.

A component cable (YPbPr) on a PS2 with texture smoothing on looks the best most of the time. The PS2 uses a true smoothing mode that actually smooths the textures where as the PS3 "smoothing" is a much less desirable anti aliasing to the entire image making the overall image quality blurry, both 2D and 3D, and doesn't do the actual textures. See Vagrant Story original vs smooth for a shockingly good looking difference playing on PS2 which by the way is not using emulation, it literally has a PS1 built in that manages the controllers, and for backward compatibility of course. I wish I knew more about how it works but the PS2 is also basically an upgraded PS1, always loved the visual boost! Granted it's not 100% and some PS1 titles will have visual anomalies with PS2 options.

I was trying the smooth thingy with my ps2 and my ps3 (I have the middle slim one) and in all honesty I will stick with my PS3 for PS1 games, the blur is almost the same on both, but the color scheme for ps3 is so crisp due to the HDMI, I was comparing with Mortal Kombat 4, it's a shame I cant play ps2 games on my ps3 though.

Best option is PS2 with component cables. PS2 has PS1 memory card compatibility, and unless you've only exclusively used your PS3 for PS1 games and saved data for them on your PS3 of all places (odd choice), you're better off using a PS2. I honestly don't get the appeal of sacrificing PS3 storage space for that when I could just use PS1 memory cards.
You don't have to record PS2 through composite – you were wrong about that one. Although a pretty small portion of PS2 games utilize progressive scan (480p) which is the biggest thing unlocked by component cables. They will still make PS1 games and non-progressive scan PS2 games look better than they would with composite, however.

For me my psOne loads way faster then my big ps1 and my ps2
