Getting the Playstation Classic
I have been lurking for a while before i actually bought a Playstation Classic (from now on PSC). The reviews are not that great and the 20 games are underwhelming to say the least. With an introduction price of 100-120 euro it was too expensive to be successful due to bad reviews. Sony was mainly accused for doing a rush job, putting more care into the looks and boxing as for the emulation itself.
So about a month ago there was a price cut, they were now sold for 60 euro! I thought if i waited a little longer it might even get cheaper. So I waited a while and yesterday the PSC was on sale at Mediamarkt for 39 euro including shipping! And today i got it!
My personal feeling is that this little console will soon be out of production, it looks like it's being dumped so if you want to have one now is your chance. This conversion will be a step-by-step and i'll try to explain everything so you can do it too.
Now there are many reviews and unboxings already but just for fun i'll do a short one.
The box itself is nice and looks crisp:
Well... Here are the warnings on how dangerous these consoles are. Yeah all the original playstation one gamers were adults back then. Amazing how times change.
In the box there is another box, that looks nice too:
A manual, that i'll keep sealed:
2 controllers (that is great! Not like the NES mini... Were you only have one) and the rest of the cables. The controllers are exactly the same size as the original. The look and feel the same too:
The device it self is really small! I mean really small. For comparison I've put it on a original NES:
In the next part i'll explain exactly what i am planning to do! Stay tuned!

you are partly right! But the main mod will be hacking the board so it can fit a mSata 120GB ssd, inside the shell while the two controllers stll funtion. I'll post an update of the plan this tonight.masauri wrote on Friday 22 February 2019 @ 16:36:

Those USB-stick's are horrible to look at, that is not how it should look. It must look slick!

I'm very curious to see how this would fit. I've been looking for nice solutions myself for my own "classic" project but i haven't made up my mind yet. I agree it should look slick! (for example, 1 power source for all the classic consoles, various options to connect screens and / or a hdmi switch etc. are issues i'm dealing with. (not to mention a case or housing for them all. (and expandable in the future)terracide wrote on Friday 22 February 2019 @ 16:39:
