Is a PS2 good enough to play PS1 games on, or should I get a PS1 console? Also which exploit is the best for either of these consoles? I keep hearing popstarter is shit on PS2, and that I need a Tony Hawk game for PS1?

Developers intended their games to be played on a PS1 since the PS2 did not exist so obviously a PS1.

There's no reason you should be playing PS1 games on anything but a PS2 with component cables ever.

PS2, use smoothing. Funny enough, PS2's smoothing of PS1 games is far superior to that of the BC PS3s. Do NOT use fast disc read, it causes graphical glitches out the ass.

I don't use smoothing, I play on a CRT. Do you have a good comparison image?

Cons that I noticed back than on different PS2 fat models (I never had a slim one):
• The PS2 very often fucks up texture transparency, like the smoke effects (i. e. Driver: exhaust pipes or other steam effects like the the manhole covers look square shaped on a PS2)
• Texture smoothing turned on also ruins texture tiles where you now can see the edges of textures on the PS2. But a game that actually profited from using texture smoothing was SaGa Frontier 2. The Smoothing somehow did benefit the look so the originally kinda pixelated and blocky 3D fighting arenas suddenly had the same water-color-painting-look like the rest of the game.
• Also I noticed some flaws with pure 2D games. I had some small black lines in games like MK Trilogy
• additionally I saw dithered looking surfaces in 2D games that weren't there when playing on a PS1
• Some games don't work with the PS2 at all. I only have one game in my library that doesn't run on a PS2 (Sentinel Returns that is) but the same game works fine on a PS3
