Einhander on the PSP, PsOne games work via Remote Play

By Spencer . December 18, 2007 . 12:06pm

Sony’s latest firmware updates add more than internet radio for the PSP and DivX/WMV playback on the PlayStation 3. An unannounced feature allows owners of both systems to play black bottom PsOne discs by taking advantage of Remote Play! I think this is self explanatory, but you need to leave a PsOne disc in your PlayStation 3 to access it. So, you have to leave Intelligent Qube or Tekken 3 in the PlayStation 3 before you go out and avoid completing multi-disc games when you’re miles away from home. Oh, and games that require two analog sticks like Ape Escape might not work perfectly. For such a cool technical feat these are really minor issues.

I think this is an amazing feature. I personally don’t own a PS3 (I’m a Wii360 DS person at the moment), but things like this make the system look that much better.

Now I’m just waiting for five games that I want to be released.

Oh, and PS2 BC to somehow, magically, make its way back into the system.

@ Mr. Shen: I’ve got 5 games for you: Final Fantasy VII: Crisis Core, God War: Chains of Olympus, Patapon, Wipeout Pulse, and Wild Arms XF are coming by April 2008. Oh, and you want PS2 BC? Just go buy a 60 gig PS3 while you can still find them!

As for the new update, I’ll have try out that PSone feature tonight. I bet Lunar would look great on the PSP…

Since the last update, is it just me or does it take at least two tries to start the PS3 remotely w/ the PSP? Also if I enabled the remote turn-on feature (like Wii’s connect 24), my system would always turn itself back on after I turn it off, really wonder what gives. Until I get these problems straightened out, I don’t think I would want to mess w/ the remote thing yet.

You’re right, thought there was only the lackluster GBA port. Well, just tried out the first PSone game that came to my mind. Would mess w/ the radio later.
