You have to have 2.10 PS3 and 3.80 PSP firmware.

Wow, that's pretty great. I might actually get a PSP one of these days. How well did this end up working for Lair?

If they can get some form of PS2 games going on this, that'd be crazy.

Decker

Holy hell! That's awesome. I have a few PS1 discs around somewhere. I'll have to check this out.

PixyJunket

Not possible.. mainly because the PSP lacks a second analog stick and two buttons.

Ocelot

Wait a sec, you pop in a PS1 disc in the PS3 and this will work? I still have few PS1 discs ...

DVD Josh

The way I read it, the disc goes into the PSP, interfaces with the PS3 through RP, and the game is then playable on the PSP.

Wait, does this mean that the game is uploaded to the memory stick on the PSP, or is it only streaming from the PS3?

pinata242

Do you mean the PS3 or does the PS3 produce an image for the PSP to read off a stick?

kaze0

What 2 buttons are yo talking about? PS1 has 2 more buttons than PSP.

DVD Josh

Yeah, sorry, clearly a PS1 disc won't fit into a PSP.

That's how I'm reading this myself. Maybe Pixy can post a link or something for more clarification.

DVD Josh

Okay, I read more about it, and yes, you play the PS1 disc in your PS3 streamed to your PSP.

dvd182

Yeah, the PS3 handles all of the processing of the PS1 game, and streams the video information to your PSP over Wi-fi. You use your PSP controls as a wireless controller. There is some lag, so this is best suited for turn based RPGs and slower paced games, but maybe playing with the lag settings will help it a little more for action games.

Breakfast with Girls

Oh, that's not nearly as exciting.

Ocelot

Woohoo! Vanderheart!

alxreys

Yep, I just played Metal Gear Solid without any problems.

Jtnguyen12

Nothing exciting. Thou you can save PS1 game on PS3 and transfer data to PSP Stick Pro Due and play on PSP

RichC2

Seems more of a "look what we can do" than an actual useful feature. For me, at least.

lordzeppelin

So, you can now play the games on your PSP...instead of your PS3, which you need to play it anyways? RichC2 is right. I just don't understand Sony at all...

Zwerchfell

ok and why should I stream the game to the PSP if I can play in on the PS3 on the bigger screen? I don't really see the point or do I miss something?

pinata242

Because you don't lug your PS3 and bigger screen with you to the hotspots you use your PSP at.

Mopower

So you can play these games streaming over the internet to the PSP? Interesting.

Groucho

So if you have a newer 80gig PS3 you'd still have all the compatibility problems using this method?

PixyJunket

Probably, but I don't think it affects PS1 games as much as PS2 games.

Ocelot

So what if this is a "oh wow, look what it can do" thing... It's neat regardless, because that's the only game system can do this as of now

Nintendo! Make the DS play NES games via the Wii....

RichC2

It's neat if you can do it at hotspots, if you have to be in wifi distance of system the neat factor just isn't quite there.
