Here’s a handy table of PS2 models that I just put together. It shows how well they support PlayStation 1 games, especially if you're looking to play classics like Crash Bandicoot or Metal Gear Solid: Special Missions.
- ✅✅ = Best performance
- ✅ = Compatible but may have hardware quirks
- ⚠️ = Lower compatibility due to emulation
| Model | Type | PS1 Compatibility | Notes |
| SCPH-3000x | Fat (early) | ✅ Good | Weaker lasers; may struggle with CD-based PS1 games over time |
| SCPH-3900x | Fat (mid) | ✅✅ Excellent | Stronger laser and high reliability with both PS1 and PS2 discs |
| SCPH-5000x | Fat (late) | ✅✅ Excellent | Slightly weaker laser than 3900x, but still great for PS1 games |
| SCPH-7000x | Slim (early) | ✅✅ Excellent | Maintains PS1 CPU; fixes some compatibility issues like MGS: SM |
| SCPH-7500x+ | Slim (late) | ⚠️ Lower compatibility | Uses software emulation; some PS1 games may glitch or not run properly |
| SCPH-7900x/9000x | Slim (latest) | ⚠️ Unreliable | Removed original PS1 chip; increased chances of issues with PS1 games |
