Default WARNING: Do not buy Dark Forces (PS1) on PS3

I purchased this through the PSN Store, and installed it. It loads up, but seems to have issues recognizing the controller, and freezes.

Some players have reported it to work, but the majority of forums I've read are posts from people saying that it's not working for them either. I can't back this up, but it seems it works on the Slim PS3s, but not the older fatter units.

Wow, nice.

Buy it on Steam on the PC instead, works great!

Sadly, my PS3 is a better gaming unit than my computer. And, I already bought it on PS3...

I think pretty much any computer could handle Dark Forces.

Most phones can probably handle Dark Forces...

Does the PS store have any recourse for a refund? Seems a tad illegal to sell software for a device that doesn't work.

I haven't inquired yet, but I did read on one thread that PSN doesn't want to handle it. That it's a glich with LucasArts. A phone call by the poster to LucasArts had them suggest he contact PSN.

Hopefully they figure this out soon.

It does work really well, except it looks entirely crappy in full screen.

Still can't get DF 2 to work in Windows 7 though
