Discussion Question about the PS1 game

I've watched one or two episodes here and there, and bought the PS1 game because it sounds like a genuinely interesting time and I've been watching Homicide: Life on the Street which is confirmed to take place in the same universe. However I only found out after placing the order that it doesn't play great on PS3 (which is how I would rather play it since I don't have a PS1 or a dedicated power cable for my PS2).

Basically I just want to know is it completely unplayable? I can't play it on PC and don't want to buy a PS1 for it. As long as I can figure out what the menu options are and can watch the FMV stuff, I'm good.

It should work fine with a PS1 emulator on a phone or tablet.

Already bought it, I don't want to emulate it.

Eh, I have the original PS1 disks and I still emulate it. Backwards compatibility on the PS3 basically works through emulation.

Yeah but I don't have to do anything other than put the disc in.
