Play PS1 games via PSP Remote Play

via Computer and Video Games


Yesterday's PS3 firmware updates packs a nice little surprise Sony didn't mention - it enables PS1 gameplay via Remote Play on your PSP.

Just to clarify, that means that you can play PS1 games that are loaded onto your PS3 hard drive on your PSP via a wireless connection, including via the internet.

Why is this cool? Because you can stuff your PS3 hard drive full of PS1 games and play them wherever you are in the world, via the internet on your portable.

It works with PS1 game discs, too, but you'll obviously need to have loaded the disc into your PS3 before you left the house, unless you have a super game-loading robot at home that can do it for you.

You will need to have updated your PS3 to yesterdays 2.10 firmware first though, and your PSP will need firmware version 3.72 or later (3.80 was also released yesterday).

Useless!:mad:
PSN has hardly 8 ps1 games... How can you use this future if you cant use ISOs on PS3?...:confused:

I would love it if they enabled this feature for use with non-psn games. being able to play the ps1 games of the original disks would be an extremely useful feature.

This is still good for those with small psp memory cards though.

That's exactly what it does, not sure if it streams the disc data or just the output screen though (Since the PS3 can emulate PS1 also).
So it's like POPs(And an expensive one at that) but for official firmware. Sony didn't really include it in the change log AFAIK, probably to not compete with it's own store.

Unless you meant a disc-ripping feature. That would be useful.

wow that's one malicious sig there, partner...
funny though
