I don't have an actual PS1, but I do have a PS2 and 3. Is either necessarily better than the other for speedrunning use? Does it depend on the model? I have Superslim PS3 and Slimline PS2.

I also mod the game in question, so if/when I do runs, should I still mark them as PS1? Or PS2/3? The game was never properly released for either of those platforms.

i think PS2 (with fast loading enabled) is faster than PS3, though i haven't read anything about that in a while so i could be wrong

[quote] when I do runs, should I still mark them as PS1? Or PS2/3? [/quote] You should mark the console you use (for example if you're using a PS1 disc on PS2, submit the run as PS2)

(You're litterally just putting the disc in the consoles, and it works, it's a legit, "official" way of playing the game, so it makes sense to submit the run as PS2 or PS3 if you're using them)

It's ok. The console support it so you are able to do run.

FYI, the SCPH-79001 with fast loading is likely the fastest possible PS2 for PS1, but any PS2 is faster than PS3.

roses are red violets are blue you get faster load times with a slim PS2

Not sure if this is the same deal, but was speedrunning a ps1 game Silent Bomber on the fat PS3, and at some points there was lag at a couple small points that I did not see on the PS1. Probably because it was emulating the PS1 but not doing it great.
