Metal Gear Solid. Damn....

Apparently it lets you get all the way to the end credits then freezes up before you get your ranking.

The only other game I've heard for sure that isn't backwards compatible is MGS Special Missions.

Know any others?

I e-mailed Playstation Customer Service in the UK asking them for a list of games that weren't compatible. I sent it off about two hours ago. Wonder what their reply will be?

ResEvil and a friend made some sort of cheat type thing that allows you to play MGS Special Missions. It should be in the "older topics".

Last year there was a list of about 10 games that weren`t compatible, and they were listed at IGN. Doubt they`re still there though.
