No, the legit copy of the game allows you to play pirated copies of other games. It bypasses the piracy check in the console and allows you to swap discs to a pirated copy of whatever other game you want.
Loads emulator and laughs.
While I agree, there are entire communities built around retro consoles. But that also means legit copies of retro games can be difficult to come by.
Sure, but at these prices, it's less expensive to get a modded PS1.
