Hey Kids, it's that time again!
Strange Request for Information time!

Previous I asked in PS3s could play import PS1 games, but was assured they could not by the majority of people. Bummer.

So I dug up my old PS1 back at my parents place, since I rediscovered my old PS1 import game playing disc and spring, and will bring that back with me. However, I noticed that my old AV cable I have for it is an old aerial kind. I'm not sure my Plasma Screen has an Aerial socket, and I'm not sure I want to use it if it does. So I thought to myself, "I may need a new cable..."
One quick search later, and Amazon seems to be trying to convince me that PS2 cables work with a PS1. I currently have a PS2 hooked up via a PS2 component cable.

My question is... If I take the AV out of my PS2 and plug in my PS1, will that actually work? Or is this fantasy?
I never got very fair in my copy of Parasite Eve 1, and Final Fantasy Tactics, and I don't think I even touched Brave Fencer Musashi and Dragon Warrior VII wait 7? wow, they must have really slowed production after this game... , so I really want to try them now...

For bonus points, can anyone confirm the following...
A PS1 Light Gun will not work with a Plasma Screen, true or false?
Also, the PS3 has a light gun, right? Though as far as I can tell, it doesn't seem to be used for much...
I'm going to make a weird guess, and assume they haven't set it up so that you can use PS3 Guncon for a PS1 game played on your PS3? Just checking, as otherwise, me old Ghoul Panic and Point Blank are going to be a little useless until I get a house big enough for two TVs, one being an older Fat one...

Kyle Orland: Redspotgames looking to continue publishing for Dreamcast

Redspotgames, the small publisher behind relatively recent Dreamcast releases such as Last Hope, Rush Rush Rally Racing and Wind and Water: Puzzle Battles, says they are looking to continue publishing games for the long-dead system into next year.

"We have seen some stuff on the PC, and we [are] talking to to the companies to see if they will agree to release on the Dreamcast," Redspotgames marketing and sales director Adrian Loudero told Joystiq at Gamescom this week. "We also have plans for 2011, maybe a new release, but this is really all I can say right now."

Loudero told us that Redspotgame only sells a few thousands copies of each new Dreamcast game it releases. As such, the company has recently expanded to WiiWare and Xbox Live Arcade development to stay afloat. But he also said that he's heartened by the way the Dreamcast demo units at the company's small Gamescom booth draw double takes and appreciative play from passers-by. "I think the Dreamcast is still famous," he said.

Asked if he thinks Sega should get back into the Dreamcast game-publishing business, Loudero responded enthusiastically. "Yes, of course, please."
