Playstation 1 was always emulated, it has good compatibility but is forced to at least 480p so it’s kind of ugly, soft. The PS2 was not emulated, full hardware in the A01 and B01, C01/D01/E01 have the GPU emulated by software. Neither has perfect compatibility, and since original PS3s are trying to catch fire all the time it’s less practical than just owning a PS2.
