Did you run out of room in your butt (that's where residents of Deutschland put things, right)?

I had a real (I don't remember the exact model number, probably SCPH-5502) PS1 as a kid. I still have some discs that I played on it!

If anyone's never played L.A.P.D.: Future Cop, let me tell you this: what a game. What a fucking game!

poo

PS1s are relatively cheap to get nowadays. If I was getting one it would be mostly for collection because not only emulators work as much well as the original console but I also own a PS2 so I have retrocompactibility.

lolwut? There is no perfect PS1 emulator available at the moment, and, in fact, most of them are far from it, being host to numerous issues that are quite noticeable in nearly every single game you throw at them. PS2s work fine for the most part, admittedly (though there are a few minor issues with certain games), far better than any emulator does.

PS1 Emulators run games at full speed, you can enhance graphics, looks perfect for my needs.

I didn't contradict that anywhere in my post; I'm just pointing out, when you look at the actual facts, emulators are in no way entirely faithful to the original hardware. If it works all right for you, that's totally fine. Everyone has a different opinion.

I’m bored, so here’s a question (guess the answer)
— Guess the version of R1 I have
A: Non-Platinum, PAL, 1995
B: Platinum, PAL
C: Greatest Hits, NTSC-U
D: Non-Platinum, PAL, 2000 reprint

Not the NTSC-U version.

Yeah, you’re right. Now, is it the Platinum release? [Yes/No]

B.

Unless you are counting the games that still have compactibility problems in the emulators then alright, but for the games I've played I had none so far at least.

The only problem I experienced was in my PS2 with Croc 2. There are sound effect glitches that don't seem to be fixable even if I change the disc speed options, it is a bit sad.

I can confirm that Japanese Croc 2 has no such issues so it is very weird.

That's because you are using a specific fat model PS2, which still has all PS1 components built in, OCG
Slim PS2 and some later Fat PS2 models have some components emulated I guess, which leads to some compatibility issues. My PS2 Slim can output PS1 games via component at 240p, while a real PS1 doesn't even support component video, so I think it is safe to say mine uses partly emulation. Although, I never had any troubles with any of my PS1 games I tried on it.

Right, my PS2 is a Slim version, and probably the very last model manufactured. I bought it at the time when Sony just did a permanent price cut to the 99€.
