Hi Guys, I need some advice before I make a big mistake and ditch all my PS1 games.I've just purchased a new (small) PS2 after being told I could still play my old PS1 games on it and none of them work.I just get the message "NO DATA!" or something similar anyway.I was hoping to still be able to use my Namco G-CON45 gun as well for Time crisis, Point blank as well as a few old school driving games.However I've tried all my old games from Doom to V-rally and none of the buggers work.Do the PS1 games only work on the original PS2 consoles and not the small versions? Any help you guys can offer would be great.

Well I heard that PS2's play PS1 games so I assumed that meant all PS2's.Is that not the case then?
Are you positive that you heard that the new slim PS2's can play PS1 games?
Things I don't know: Do PS1 games work on the new PS2s?
Why am I bothering to reply then? I thought it would be handy to mention (just in case) that the original PS2 plays most PS1 games fine, but there a handful of exceptions, so make sure you test more of your games first. For example, Metal Gear Solid: VR missions was one that I heard didn't work. Its a long shot, but I thought it was worth mentioning.
As for the rest of the games, if they still don't work, then perhaps if nobody else replies to this topic, you could try a few guys in the shops in town, and see if anybody else has info. You might bump into somebody who is willing to give accurate information, and you might find out for sure.
I can't imagine why PS1 playability would be sacrificed though - I wouldn't have thought it would take up much space in the new PS2s...
