Note: not available in early Tool/DECR and Debug/DEX firmwares (does not have dev_flash/ps1emu or ps2emu folder. dev_flash/vsh/etc/version.txt & index.dat say: ¨ps1emu:NA@NA: ps2emu:NA@NA: ps2gxemu:NA@NA: emerald:NA@NA: bdp:NA@NA:¨).

{{Boxframe1|content='''Firmware changes related with PS1 emulation'''
*Firmware [[1.02_CEX|1.02]]:
**Added '''ps1_emu.self'''

*Firmware [[1.70_CEX|1.70]]:
**Added '''ps1_netemu.self'''
**Added the ability to play original PlayStation format games downloaded from the PlayStation Store.
**Added rumble functionality for USB accessories which support it when playing PS2 games.
**Saved data from PlayStation format software now usable on both PSP and PS3 systems.

**Ability to upscale PS1 and PS2 games
**Ability to copy PS1/PS2 game saves from PS3 to Memory Cards using a Memory Card adapter.
**Backwards compatibility for PS1 and PS2 games was improved.

*Firmware [[2.10_CEX|2.10]]:
**Added '''ps1_newemu.self''' and '''ps1_rom.bin''' (CRC32:D5FF6273 / CRC16:111D file is same as in 4.11 and all versions in between)
**Users can now play PS1 game discs on a PSP with remote play, PSP firmware version 3.50 or newer is required. (this feature was not announced).
**Backwards compatibility for PS1 and PS2 games was improved (Update was also unannounced but evident in Sony's backwards compatibility search site).
**Note: since 2.10++ all PS1 emulators, ps1_emu.self, ps1_netemu.self, ps1_newemu.self uses the since then added ps1_rom.bin bios file.

==== Savegames ====
Location: /dev_hdd0/savedata/vmc <br />
Note: capitalisation of filename is important: name it xxx.VM1 instead of xxxx.vm1 (e.g. Internal Memory Card.VM1 for PSX/PSone, Internal Memory Card.VM2 for PS2/PStwo)

The .VMx files appear to be raw memory card data:

==== DiscID explained ====
* The first letter indicates the storage format (always S=CD/DVD for PSX/PSone and PS2/PStwo, for PS3 it is B=Bluray).
* The second letter indicates if the game is first party (C = Sony), or licensed from third party (L = others).
* The third letter indicates: A=Asia, P or J=Japan, U=United States, or E=Europe (K = HongKong).
* The last letter indicates the type: D = Demo, S = Full Retail Game, M = ?.
Note that for some third party games, Sony may take it and repackage with appropriate material for other territories, thus the game become first party as well.

DiscID ([[Productcode]]) reference: http://sonyindex.com/ <br />
e.g. PS3 Bluray:
 Japan    [BCAS, BCJS, BLAS, BLJM, BLJS]
 US       [BCUS, BLUS, BCUD]
 EU       [BCES, BLES, BCED]
 HongKong [BCKS, BLKS, BCKD] 

Sidestep, PSVita uses PCSF / PCSB : http://forum.trophies-ps3.de/spiele-and-trophaeen/90720-die-vita-pcsf-pcsb-liste.html (Sony = f = first party, B = backparty release ?)

=== Resolution ===

==== PSX Native resolution ====
Games are always 4:3 with any resolution between 640x480 NTSC / 640x512 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 or 640
* Vertical: 240 (NTSC), 256 (PAL), 480 (NTSC), 512 (PAL)
Tekken 3 uses a strange pixel area of 368x480. Regardless of the screen area, the aspect ratio is still 4:3 for all PlayStation games.
Very common resolutions : 320x240 for NTSC and 320x256 for PAL.

==== PS2 Native Resolution ====
Video output resolution: variable from 256x224 to 1280x1024 pixels

==== PS/PS2 Upscaling & smoothing ====
Options added to XMB since 1.80++ Both options can be set individually.

PS/PS2 upscaling:
* Off - Disable upscaled output.
* 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)

PS/PS2 smoothing:
* 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)

Samples: http://uk.ps3.ign.com/articles/793/793775p1.html

=== Manual starting SELF method ===
#Insert PSX/PSone disc (region/pressed doesn't matter)
#Start MultiMAN (e.g. 2.07.01++)
::*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).
#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.

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.

==== Changes in MultiMAN 2.07.00/01 for ps1_emu handling ====
These options where needed to make above work:
* Added: LV2 access rights to use LV1 Storage Manager (syscall 864)
* Added: LV1 patch for user access to sys_storage functions (syscalls 600 to 623)
