Welcome to Affro's Curiosities Season 8!

In a previous video, I looked at PS1 games running on the PS2 when utilising its texture mapping function! This function could allow users to apply a smooth texture filter to PS1 games. The results were mixed to say the least!

The PS3 can also smooth PS1 graphics using its built in smooth filter!

Is it any better than the PS2 version? Should you consider using it?

Watch on to find out!
