Hello all I'll be getting into the Bluebirds in a month or so and I have a question.  I am going to be converting my BB1 into a BB2 machine.  I wanted to know will games only made for the BB1 still work on a BB2 machine.  I believe the TOP screen will just be blank, but I didn't know what would happen to the bottom widescreen.  Are BB1 games not compatible at all with a BB2?

Most of the BB1 games will not play on a BB2 unless they run on a SSSG-000-XXXX OS.. 

any idea if these 3 in particular will work
Game Name                Game Identifier       OS Used      CF Size   Memory Req   Platform
Cat's Meow                    S591-000-1000       1300P      256   256                    BB1,
Cool Cat Cash            S564-000-1000       1221      256   256                    BB1,
Village People Party    S772-000-1010       1850      256   512                    BB1,

None of them will work in a BB2.

thanks idesign!  :)

What I try to do when I want to check what games work with which BB platform is google the name of the game and the letters WMS. For example, 'village people party wms' (without the quotes).

Usually, one of the first links is to the game on the the wms.com domain. If you click that, look towards the bottom-right of the page and it will tell you the platforms the game should work with.

There may be an easier way, but this has worked for me. Sometimes, older games are no longer on their web site. Usually guarantees it won't work with BB2.
