No. The PS1 Classics are preserved in their original state. Adding trophies to a PS1 game would essentially mean porting it over to fit the PS3s architecture.

They're called classics for a reason. Great games are just that and don't need things like trophies to garner good sales.
I'll admit, yeah it's possible that if a PS1 game did somehow get trophies it could attract the trophy hunter crowd. But it's doubtful that a small increase in sales would offset the cost that a developer would infer from porting a PS1 game to the PS3.

Well PSone games on PSN may never get trophies, but I'll make a trophy up right now.  In Suikoden... "Aquire all 108 character."

Lol! And if you get all 108 characters, you can give yourself a gold star sticker instead of a trophy, because they are both equivalent in usefulness.

They would also likely charge more, because a lot of extra work would have to be put in, something that too many people don't seem to understand. You don't just flip a switch and get trophies like magic.

Re: will ps1 classics ever get trophies?

i agree it isnt as easy as people think, but it would be cool if maybe they could add just one gold trophy for lets say general completion of a game e.g finishing the story of an rpg but not getting every char to level 99, or in a racing game finishing the hardest race but having to buy all the cars. basically whenever you get to the end credits of a game

 

im sure it would be harder for some games and easier for others. but at least putting one trophy in there im sure would lure more sales
