Hi Vhal_x
All PS3 seems to be compatible with PS1 games as its software-based emulation. Only PS2 games require hardware components to be runned on PS3. And only some fat PS3 versions have these components.

However, PS1 games are region locked ! Therefore you can't play JPN or US PS1 games on a PAL EU PS3... Same with the digital copies of PS1 games available on PSN. One from JPN or US PSN won't work on a PAL EU PS3, unless you crack it in some ways.
Furthermore, as I mentionned, you can encounter few problems while playing PS1 games (discs) on your PS3, like freezing, glitches, longer loading times or everlasting black screens when changing discs (as you have to for FFVII, VIII or IX, for instance).
PS1 emulation seems to be better with a PS2 (smoother graphics and faster loading).
Anyway, why don't they put original NES and SNES cartridges in the Ultimate Box while they were at it ?!
And why don't they fasten FFX HD remix and FF VersusXIII for the 25th anniversary occasion ?!?!
Screw you, Square-Enix !!!
