For backwards- and crossproduct compatibility, several files in dev_flash are available/used.

=XMB settings related with emulators=
**Added the ability to play original PlayStation format games downloaded from the PlayStation Store.
<div style="float:right">[[File:XMB PS1PS2PSP game settings.jpg|400px|thumb|right|XMB game settings related with PS1, PS2, PSP emulators]]</div>
**Added rumble functionality for USB accessories which support it when playing PS2 games.
See the info in the official [http://manuals.playstation.net/document/en/ps3/current/settings/gamesettings.html#2434 user guide] and some [http://uk.ps3.ign.com/articles/793/793775p1.html samples]
**Saved data from PlayStation format software now usable on both PSP and PS3 systems.
**Backwards compatibility for PS1 and PS2 games was improved.


* 2.10:
*In [[XMB]] {{icon category settings}} ⇨ '''[Game Settings]''' ⇨ '''[PS/PS2 Upscaler]''' (added since firmware [[1.80_CEX|1.80]], stored in '''[[XRegistry.sys]]/setting/game/emuUpConvert''')
**Users can now play PlayStation game discs on a PSP with remote play (this feature was not announced).
**'''[Off]''' - Disable upscaled output.
**Backwards compatibility for PS1 and PS2 games was improved (Update was also unannounced but evident in Sony's backwards compatibility search site).
**'''[Normal]''' - Upscale and display at a size that matches the screen size (keep 4:3 aspect ratio)
**'''[Full]''' - Upscale and display at full screen by changing proportions and stretching the image (to widescreen)


Note: since 2.10++ all 3 ps1 emulators, ps1_emu.self, ps1_netemu.self, ps1_newemu.self uses the since then added ps1_rom.bin biosfile.
*In [[XMB]] {{icon category settings}} ⇨ '''[Game Settings]''' ⇨ '''[PS/PS2 Smoothing]''' (added since firmware [[1.80_CEX|1.80]], stored in '''[[XRegistry.sys]]/setting/game/emuSmoothing''')
**'''[Off]''' - Disable smoothing
**'''[On]''' - Use smoothing to reduce the roughness of the displayed image (note: when titles that support progression scan have this option turned on, they revert back to 480p with no alterations)


=== Manual starting SELF method ===
*In [[XMB]] {{icon category settings}} ⇨ '''[Game Settings]''' ⇨ '''[PSP™ Remaster - Screen Mode]''' (stored in '''[[XRegistry.sys]]/setting/game/pspemuViewmode''')
#Insert PSX/PSone disc (region/pressed doesn't matter)
**Sets the display size of the screen during gameplay. This setting can only be used when outputting video to an HD TV
#Start MultiMAN (e.g. 2.07.01++)
**'''[Normal]'''
::*Since 02.07.05 the PSX and PS2 discs are properly detected. PSX discs will show in XMB Game Column and you can launch the PS1 game from there. It uses ps1_emu.self default (you can choose Load or Load (Net), latter uses ps1_netemu).
**'''[Full Screen]'''
#Switch to filemanager mode
#Browse to /dev_flash/ps1emu
#Select either one of the ps1 emulation SELF files


Note: Some games run better with ps1_emu.self (e.g. Motal Kombat) while others run better with ps1_netemu.self (e.g. Resident Evil 3). If it doesn't work, try another ps1 emulation SELF file.
*In [[XMB]] {{icon category settings}} ⇨ '''[Game Settings]''' ⇨ '''[PSP™ Remaster - 3D Display]''' (stored in '''[[XRegistry.sys]]/setting/game/pspemu3dDisplay''' and '''pspemu3dDepthAdjust''')
**Sets whether or not to display Images in 3D.You can also adjust the depth of 3D images. This setting can only used when playing a stereoscopic 3D game using a 3D TV
**'''[Off]'''

Downside: memory card options are unavailable unless you created a Virtual Memorycard ''before'' starting MultiMAN (XMB::Category Game:: Memory Card Utility (PS/PS2) > Create a PS1 memory card. Set it to Slot 1 (Press Triangle while selecting the Memory Card, then Assign it). Note: naming it "Internal Memory Card" sometimes works better than other names. MultiMAN 02.07.07 seems to solve the savegame issues.
*In [[XMB]] {{icon category settings}} ⇨ '''[Game Settings]''' ⇨ '''[PSP™ Remaster - Ad Hoc Mode Channel]''' (stored in '''[[XRegistry.sys]]/setting/game/pspemuAdhocModeCh''')
**Set a channel for use in ad hoc mode. Choose the same channel as the person you want to connect with
**'''[Automatic]'''
**'''[1]'''
**'''[6]'''
**'''[11]'''


==== Changes in MultiMAN 2.07.00/01 for ps1_emu handling ====
*In [[XMB]] {{icon category settings}} ⇨ '''[Game Settings]''' ⇨ '''[PSP™ Remaster - Ad Hoc Mode]''' (stored in '''[[XRegistry.sys]]/setting/game/pspemuAdhocModeWlan''')
These options where needed to make above work:
**Sets whether or not to use ad hoc mode over a wireless LAN
* Added: LV2 access rights to use LV1 Storage Manager (syscall 864)
**'''[Off]'''
* Added: LV1 patch for user access to sys_storage functions (syscalls 600 to 623)
**'''[On]'''

<pre>
The main issue here is that it's mostly not doable to emulate the GS efficiently with the rest
of the hardware because the RSX is just not meant for this task and cannot emulate the GS on
its own while all the available SPUs and the PPU are already mostly fully used to emulate the
rest of the playstation 2 hardware, this explains why sony never could finish the ps2_softemu
and that it reached a stalling step.
 
I honestly have no idea on how it would be possible to get over the ps3 hardware limitations to
perform a full ps2 emulation without any of the ps2 hardware present on the console, one thing
for sure is that the emulator would have to be entirely rewritten and optimized like no other
ps3 software has been.

Resolution[edit | edit source]

PS1 Native resolution[edit | edit source]

Games are always 4:3 with any resolution between 704x480 NTSC / 704x576 PAL (the bios initialisation screen) and lower:

  • Horizontal: 256 (rare e.g. Dragon Warrior VII), 320, 368 (occasionally 384 e.g. SF Zero 3 but not X-Men vs SF which was shrunk to 368), 512, 576, 600, 640 or 704
  • Vertical: 240 (NTSC), 300 (PAL), 480 (NTSC), 576 (PAL)

Tekken 3 uses a strange pixel area of 384x480. Regardless of the screen area, the aspect ratio is still 4:3 for all PlayStation games. Very common resolutions : 320x224 for NTSC and 320x256 for PAL.


PS2 Native Resolution[edit | edit source]

Video output resolution: variable from 256x224 to 1280x1024 (not 1920x1080) pixels.
