Remember PS1 games are also playable on PS2.

well the controllers are semi compatible. The new ps2 controllers have an r3 and l3 button access by pushing down on the analog sticks. i had this problem where my old ps1 controllers wouldnt work with some games. Just an fyi (dynasty warriors 4 is a good example of this)

there is an R3 and L3 button on the PS1 controller psychobrigade.

Also, the PS2 Controllers' buttons are pressure sensetive. For example in GTA Vice City....press half way down on the button, accelerate moderately, press button all the way down, accelerate faster. Also some games require the analog joysticks (back in the day there were controllers without analog sticks!)
