PS2 Backwards Compatibility Issues With PS1 Games

[Sph1nx]

Ok, I know there are some issues with this, but I cannot seem to find a list of what games and on what hardware revisions.

Anyone have a list, or can link me to one?

I can name one for you. Rolling Thunder on one of the Namco Museums. Runs in super slow-motion.

If I am not mistaken the Tomba series has trouble running on the PS2 for some reason. On a better note Chrono Cross looks amazing on the PS2..sorry to be off topic.

Suikoden 2 and Thousand Arms seemed to give me some sound issues.

[Kitsune Sniper]

I heard Metal Gear Solid's ending crashes the game. Is that true? I wanted to buy a PS2 soon, and MGS was one of the first games I plan to hunt down...

Two well known problems...

Final Fantasy Anthology:
The Final Fantasy V disc won't play at all in a PS2.

Wild ARMs
Certain boss battles will lock up the game.

I've never had a problem playing it. Final fantasy VIII and Thousand Arms gives my PS2 some trouble booting up.
