I want to replay a few old PS1 RPG’s that I enjoyed, but since I’ve played through them before, I really don’t want to spend 80 hours on each one. I used to have a Gameshark or ActionReplay type device for my PS1 that allowed me to do things like infinite health, unlimited money, etc.

Now that I have a PS2 (which also plays old PS1 games), is there a device like this that I can buy that will also work on the old PS1 games?
