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...

@Cptn.PaxtonAstypalaea(ColonialMarine): I'm 99% sure that the PS2 AV cable does work on the PS1 but it is the PS1 cable that will not work on the PS2. I found this out while transferring all of my stuff from one house to another.

Not sure on the other stuff.

@DrunkRaba: Pretty sure I've used my PS2 A/V cable on my PSX myself as well. I'd test it myself but, you know, laziness and all that.
