The best way to find if a game is functional or not is on the official sony website: http://www.us.playstation.com/Support/CompatibleStatus That link will let you check any game you can name as it does/doesn't play on any given console. The cobatibility list will vary slightly from the 20/60 (hardware emulation) to the 80 (software emulation). It should also be noted, the 20/60/80 with 4 usb ports ALL play ps1/ps2 games, the 2 usb port 40/80/160, do NOT play ps2 games (should still play ps1).
