On the Xbox, if you owned it on the 360, you own it on the One. You can either download it from your library if it was a digital purchase, or stick the disc in the One if you have the disc.
I have not noticed any difference between playing, say, Burnout Paradise on my 360 vs. on my One. So it seems like MS actually did a decent job on it.
'Course, you're probably referring to how you have to buy Playstation 1 games to play them on the Playstation 3 or 4, right? I have a PS3, but I've never had any PS1 games. They really don't let you just stick the disc into the PS3 to confirm you own it and then download the emulated game from the Playstation store?
- cuckcuckspruce 10y agoPS3 owner here. There are three levels of backward compatibility for the PS3: - PS2 in hardware / PS1 in software - PS2 in software / PS1 in software - PS1 in software The PS2 in hardware was only select launch consoles (20 GB and 60 GB). PS2 in software were the 80 GB consoles, but that feature was patched out in an OS update some time ago. All PS3s have PS1 backwards compatibility for games from the PlayStation Store and the physical media. I was playing Chrono Cross the other day on my PS3 slim with no issues.

Wikipedia says that those 80GB consoles still had hardware PS2 GPUs and only did the CPUs in software, and that later models took out everything. No mention of software downgrades.
- cuckcuckspruce 10y agoI stand corrected. There is an 80 GB model that is backwards compatible with disc based games (though it's backwards compatibility is only listed as "limited"), and, according to Sony, all PS3s can play PS2 classics downloaded from Sony.
