PlayStation Network Trophies Coming To PSone and PS2 Classics

21 Mar

PlayStation 3 owners will be getting trophies to their PSone and PS2 classic games in the near future. Information was leaked about Sony filing an application for a patent that would give trophies to  PSone and PS2 classics games back in Sept, 19, 2012.

According to Neogaf, the method or apparatus will give trophy support to games that in the past didn’t include trophies. The potential method and apparatus will be used to detect disk access, used the detected disk access as potential trophy triggers in games, and recognize the triggers while the game is played.

The problem with giving trophy support to a game was that developers of the original game would have to make some alterations to that game. For the developer that cost more money and time because they have to go through the process of being certified again.

This new technology will make it easier for the creators of the original titles to give trophy support to PSone and PS2 Classics on the PS3.
