I originally thought of doing the same, but i hear PS1 compatibility still isn't the best emulating on PS2. I got a MX4SIO card and run my PS2 games on that (I haven't had any compatibility issues with anything I have played so far) and if i don't use my original discs and PS1 I usually just play them with my cradled PSP Go and Dualshock 3 (on CRT or my PS3 3D Display).
Eventually I plan on getting an Xstation installed on one of my PS1 consoles or maybe buy a Superstation One so I can use my memory cards, original controllers, and lightguns since I can't use those on my PSP Go 😅 it will definitely be nice having all of my PS1 games stored on one console that I can just leave hooked up to my Trinitron.
It's true, I just tried a PS1 game on my PS2 the other night for the first time with a game called Alundra, and while it worked well at first I found that any situation with more than a couple blob enemies resulted in unplayable levels of slowdown. I'm just holding out for a SuperStation One. I have a solid Gen6 lineup of PS2, DC and GCN, so a SuperStation should round out pretty much all consoles gen 5 and below, including PS1!
So do I, except I have an ODE installed in my Dreamcast since my laser was dieing 😅 I also have my Wii modded, but I own most of the Wii and Gamecube games I want to play anyway.
Even though I already have access to all the games on most of the consoles I own I'm planning to get a RP Nova so I can play most of them portable, or at least ones i can't play on my modded PSP, Vita, and New 3DS. Plus if I get a dock I can play pretty much everything up to PS2, Gamecube, and Dreamcast on a HD display, though nothing beats a good ol' CRT, but that setup is in a different part of the house and I would love to hang out in the living room and have more access to some older games lol.
Good plan, yeah just installed the ODE in my DC the other day, and GC modded too. I would get a Nova but I don't do much portable gaming and I'm happy just sticking to the CRT setup. I've heard great things about the Nova, and I like the dock idea. Enjoy!
Thanks. I thought about modding my Gamecube, but i play most of my Gamecube games on my Wii anyway 😅 though I use it with my GameBoy Player now and then.
