"PS2 backward-compatibility problems"
, posted Fri 12 Jul 12:32
Has anyone had any problems playing PSX games on their PS2? I bought Final Fantasy Chronicles a while back, and it didn't work. I took it back and got another copy, which didn't work, either. It might have something to do with the fact that I have a first-gen PS2, and I know that FF Anthology is one of the titles that has been reported as incompatible with the PS2, but is Chronicles? If so, will later-model PS2s play it?

Chronicles simply doesn't like playing on the PS2, I do believe however that if you have a backup copy of it it will function properly. Also, could u tell me how to make new posts... I don't see a link for it anywhere.

Up at the top, in the black bar, where it says "Post New Thread."
So it works on backup copies? Why not the originals? Also, would I then need a mod chip to read the backups?

So Final Fantasy Collection doesn't work on the PS2? I'm glad I read this thread since I've been considering hunting down a copy of that game. I'd hate to think that I'll have to drag out the PSX to play FFV (although I seem to have no other choice).

Collection should work fine, the one that has problems is chronicles, the set with ff4 and chrono trigger (in top of that, chrono trigger has horrid load times when you access the menu.)

I don't know what your guys' problem is, but FF Chronicles works absolutely fine and dandy on my PS2. You can use fast disc speed to speed up the CT load times drastcially. Other than that, I have no idea, what you guys are talking about.

It depends on the PS2 model. Early models had issues with some PSX games. I know because I traded in my early model for a later one before the warranty ran out.
How about a nice Hawaiian BEATDOWN?!!

I used to have a problem with backwards compatibility until I cleaned my PS2. I have the 1st model and I used to get DRE's all the time. Then I turned it upside-down and put in a lens cleaner and everything works. The only problem is that CastleVania Chronicles has a small problem. The game works and the PS2 doesn't load all the platforms to jump up on and jump off of. So you really don't know where your going or where you could go. Other than that I don't have a problem.

Muah haha!
The PAL releases of FFIV, FFV and FFVI work perfectly on PS2. Then again we had to wait until f*cking 2002 to get them...
