12 Dec 06 - 05:34 PM (#1907790) Subject: RE: BS: PS2 compatability From: Tinker I just went into my highschool sons who said that the old controllers work as long as the game does not require a joy stick. The new controllers have added features, but they are not needed for all games. Most new games will need the dual analog feature. The playstaion 1 memory cards will continue to work with playstaion one games when played on PS2. PS2 games will need PS2 memory cards. Hope this helps tinker |

I didn't try the old controllers, but I did try the memeory cards and as you say they work with the old games but not with the new ones. Ah well hey ho and off to e-bay to get and additional PS2 controller and PS2 Memory Cards. From a 61 year old :-) |

But that's because they have been carefully tutoring me for years whenever they want an upgrade. But since I won't even concider any item that is essentially unavailable PS3 will wait awhile here too. |

13 Dec 06 - 09:30 AM (#1908384) Subject: RE: BS: PS2 compatability From: ranger1 Hi Les, being an avid video gamer myself, feel free to PM me for any info. Tinker gave you the real deal. Most PS1 games will play on the PS2, but not all. The new PS2 should come with a controller, which will work for the older games, the analog thumb sticks just won't do anything. As for memory cards, try looking for used ones and then just delete the old info. It's much cheaper than buying new. I don't know what they run in the UK, but a new memory card in the US is about $20. With the advent of the PS3, prices should drop a bit, but it may take a while. |

13 Dec 06 - 06:17 PM (#1908828) Subject: RE: BS: PS2 compatability From: ranger1 Depends on the game. The earliest PS1 games don't use the thumb sticks, but you can still use the directional pad on the controller. If you already have the controllers with the rumble feature for the PS1, then the same controllers will work fine for PS2 games. |
