I just bought a new ps1 game and for some reason it won't work on my ps2. Any time I try to play any PlayStation 1 game It won't allow me to. I don't think the problem is the games , I think it has to do with my PlayStation 2 , but nothing seems to be wrong with it .
Is this a good question?

@sabrinag you of course made sure that the games match the region of your PS2. There were issues with the laser and the alignment on the PS2. The PS1 disks are a tad darker so in theory the laser is not strong enough to read through the darker discs from the PS1. You could try to adjust the laser and see if that will work. Take a look on here for that.

You could try and see if you can get a new assembly
I used to face similar problems when I used to run some retro games from ROM Packs. It was strange since some of the games worked while some didn’t. I have asked several people regarding this problem but never solved it.

If it's the PS2 slim you are experiencing issues with, then there is a solution. All you have to do is insert the PS1 game inside the PS2 console (while still off), and then press the power button three (3) times in a row. This should allow the PS1 game to be played on the PS2 slim. Hope this was helpful! :)
