Topic: Best ps console/model to play ps1 games on.

I want to play some of my recently added ps1 games (including symphony of the night, metal gear solid and final fantasy)

I currently have 5 consoles that read ps1 discs.
The original ps1 (the one that says “power” and “open)
the second ps1 (the one that replaced “power” and “open” with logo’s)
the ps2 phat
the ps2 slim
and the ps3 320gb (the last model that had you insert discs before you had to open the ps3).

Which one would be the best to play ps1 games/discs on?

Also is it better to use the ps2 phat for ps2 games or the ps2 slim?

Thanks in advance.

Probably on the PS1 while on a CRT TV.

If you don't have a CRT, then it's proabably best to play on a BC PS3. Although I've never played actual discs on mine, but digital ones. The PS3 offers simple upscaling features and such.

My personal preferences when it comes to PS2 is the original PS2 over the slim. The Slim's never stood the test of time for me. I had several overheat, two that stopped reading discs but the original still runs fine for me too this day.

Also any model PS3 can play PS one games. I have the slime PS3 and the one plays PS one games and you don't even have to worry about memory cards
