PlayStation GB also embodies a combination of hardware and software emulation which will enable it to be compatible with a broad range of original PS one and a limited range of PlayStation titles.brNote PLAYSTATION GB, GB and GB systems are not compatible with PlayStation titles and will only play a limited number of PlayStation one titles.brbrhttpuk.playstation.comhelpsupportpa PlayStation software is not compatible with PLAYSTATION .
