Can you play the old FF games on the PS3 ?

I'm parciulary interested with FF9 and 10.

Thank you.

I would think it would matter what version of the PS3 you had, wouldn't it? If you have the one with the Emotion engine (ie the PS2 built in ala the 80 gig) then it should work for all of the old games. If you have the one with software emulation only, then it may not.

Feel free to jump in and correct me if I'm wrong as I don't own a PS3.
 
Actually you are wrong. The ones with the highest backward compatability and emotion engine chip are the 20 and 60gb models. The 80gb uses a less effective software emulator, and the 40gig drops ps2 support all together.

So FF 10 will vary in performance. As for the PS1 games, should work the same on all models since they always used a software emulator.

I started a FF9 game on my PS3 and it works just fine. X is a PS2 game but I don't see why it wouldn't work on your 80GB.
 
The majority of issues have been addressed via firmware updates for BC. Depsite the removal of the EE chip on the 80GB PS3's

Thanks. The models that do and don't have it are a little confusing.
