Playstation Crapstic. Even the controller is inadequate, no dual shock sticks messes up the prospect for so many games.
It was nigh impossible to fuck up, and they fucked up hard.
He can do that on his PC right now with better controls, can even use a genuine ps3 or ps4 controller.

With a PS4 controller and Hylian CRT filter epsxe is closer to a PS1 on my 4k tv than the mini. I have an actual PS1 hooked up via composite too and it's nicer than that too due to the sharper image + crt filter. I can also get very low latency when using my Pc monitor. PS1 on a good crt is ideal, but ain't nobody got space for fat ass CRT's anymore.

I use my psone with a frame meister. Rgb scart on my 4k oled.
But im still getting this one. Way more fun then a boring pc emulator

...it IS a PC emulator. Just a teeny weeny little PC in a cute little case. It's more rewarding when you do it youself. I'm going to use my ps1 case as a shell for a micro pc/emulation build. Will even keep the cd drive functionality so I can emulate my old games directly.

If I has a stadium I wouldn't have room for a CRT. The smell of Ozone, blown capacitors, magnetic interference and electron gun buzz can go back to the past where they belong. CRT tech is kill. But let's not dismiss it entirely, it gave us electron microscopes after all. For that I shall be forever grateful.

Mini is made by some random Chinese factory, with outsourced design schematics by Sony.
It's a nostalgia piece, and let me tell you, making your own is FAR more gratifying.

Are you old enough to remember getting too close to a CRT and getting that static buzz on your face? Turning them on and hearing that “THUNK, shhhhhhhh......”? Staring at the snowy fuzz for waaaay too long? Dropping them on your finger? Warm and cozy memories.
CRTs are the shit.

Yes. Will do. Will probably make a video. I have a 3D printer might as well go balls deep.
I had the uncanny ability to sense when a CRT display was turned on anywhere in the house. There was a very subtle whine/ringing in my ears that went away when the old 80's and 90's tv's were turned off.

I was super excited for this until I realized I have what I want with the digital and physical copies. I wouldn't have rather had the Japanese version. Even then I own those game already too. I cancelled my Amazon pre-order. I can't say I'm impressed by this. Maybe the PS2 Classic will be good. They could at least incorporate the community's opinion next time. I like my digital PS1 and PS2 library. There are plenty of digital PS1 and PS2 games that could have been available on PS4. I own a handful of digital PS2 games on PS3 and Sony has very specific ideas in terms of what is a PS2 Classic on PS4.
Their catalogue of digital PS1 games puts this to shame. I just recently bought another digital entry into Arc the Lad for my Vita/PS3. Japan got that series with their mini. Oh well, they'll get my money on other products, just not this one.

I ended up cancelling my preorder, I have a fully working PSX/PS2/ PS3 and PSV
And my TV has a Emulator
I don't need another machine that only plays PSX titles, especially when it's limited to 20 strict titles.
What I need is not to have to plug/unplug multiple machines to play the PlayStation library and a little enhancement to those titles that need it.

Looking at this thread it seems that I'm not the only one who cancelled their order.
This probably means that the prices will drop quickly if Sony based their sales estimates on the success of the Nintendo classics.
I might get one later if prices are around 50-60.
The list of games is really a missed opportunity to do the longtime sony customers a favor.

Android TV + android emulator like ePSXe from Google Play.
Performance and compatibility can't compete with PC + RetroArch, but you can do that.

Sony put more effort into that advert than they did into this AT Games level atrocity of a Classic console.
Damn shame what they did to that dog.

Wow. I wasn’t aware of that. What kind of controller can you use? Are USB controllers compatible with Android TVs? (My tv’s really old and not very smart, but I love it. Hence why I am unaware about this).

Wtf?? I had that exact same too. I swear I could even feel it further away from our house, while I'm out on the street, I'd hear or feel like the TV turned on. I can't describe it perfectly, but it felt like static? Or a similar sound to laser guns shooting from movies (pew pew).
When I told my friend about it once he thought I was crazy. To this day I thought I was alone in this. This is cool to know someone else had the same experience!
My friends won’t care about that. They are very casual and don’t mess around with that stuff. They have the Nintendo Minis and none of them have hacked their stuff.
If the hacking part ends up being decent I might grab one later. I have a PS3 and a lot of PS1 classics on it already, plus I still own a lot of PS1 discs I can already throw in the PS3. I’m not sure if it is hackable if I would even find that interesting enough.

This still really makes no sense to me, you could pick up a genuine mini PS2 and the real games cheaper if you don't already own them already. Its AV but even the newest TV's still support the format, and this offers no visual improvements.
The SNES and NES I understand some what but this...

I can't speak from first hand experience, but USB controllers should work. Maybe even bluetooth controllers? You can use controllers with smartphones so TVs shouldn't be a problem, but they might have some quirks.

Dualshock 4 works fine and you can get a decent enhancement on PSX games, it's trial and error with that tho.

They included PAL versions of some games like Tekken 3 in the PS1 Classic WTF.
For the US PS1 Classic they included 9 games that are the European PAL version that runs at 50hz instead of NTSC that runs at 60hz...

They're after the version with the most languages I guess, and releasing that one version worldwide, apart from Japan.
Personally I don't care, as I know I'll be replacing them with my own after hacking it.

LOL.
I remember Neo Geo X being a shoddy product with a lousy emulator, and some mediocre quality of games.
The PS Classic reminds of it. A quick cash-in where some engineers threw stuff together and didn't check to see how well it works, or in the case of PAL vs NTSC didn't even set the regional differences correctly.

Everything about this has been so lazy and shitty that I honestly wonder if Sony even made it. PAL games can fuck right off.
You could tell Nintendo actually cared about their classics. They also did that at a time when the AtGames shit was the standard.

Some times the PAL versions have fixes that the NTSC don't.
FF7 for example had better translation, Spiro the Dragon had some bullshit gems move to a better location and a stage music added that wasn't ready for the US release, Medievil had the red pointless arrows on the stage select screen removed, ect....
