Yes, you can play Japanese PS1 games on a PS3, but you'll need a model that supports backward compatibility. Most original PS3 models (the fat ones) can, but double-check your specific model.

I've played tons of Japanese PS1 games on my PS3 with no issues. Make sure you have one of the original models that support backward compatibility, and you're good to go!

Technically yes, but not all PS3 models are backward compatible. Check if your PS3 is one of the early models that support PS1 games.

Absolutely, Japanese PS1 games work fine on a PS3 if it supports backward compatibility. Just remember, you'll need to navigate menus in Japanese!
