I am a huge ps1 fan, I always find myself going back to this console and playing childhood games such as re2 tomb raider mega man x4 thru 6 hogs of war ... the list can go on and on. When it comes to the fat model I like to buy and have the scph 9001 model , I think they are the most reliable. I still have it and it’s still kicking like a champ since 1999.
The 7501 and PSone are just as good as a 9001, plus the 7501 has a parallel port (not taken advantage of by official means, only cheat cartridges and, more recently, PSIO) and the PSone can use a portable LCD screen
I got 5502 pal with retro fitted skin iv been trying to find info on retrograde skins i found sum but not same i have to back rules of the fav it chiped out ps2 slim with 8inch lcd screen mod
For those of you that don’t care to have a model with the parallel port I suggest getting the scph 9001 model. Very reliable . No vmu skipping and no other problems that I have had with this model
is the laser plastic? i'm thinking of buying a psone but i really like the look of the original more. i'm worried about it's laser wearing down, does that happen on 9001?
thats the worst and cheapest mode!! The 5o00 series are the best to get, it has paralel out, improved laser assembly as well as the same DAC is the 1000 series.
PSOne Slim w/ LCD sceen for the win. Play it by itself, or on a television. Built like a tank, and hasn't failed me for the past 15 years. Only thing to be careful of is the AC Adaptor...be kind to it. If you have replace it they sell for $11 on Amazon. So many memories of chilling with my father and brother, blasting at each other in Crash Team Racing, swinging through cities in Spiderman, or getting into street fights in Jackie Chan Stuntmaster.
I bought the scph-9002 model at an antique shop. It was in perfect condition and I was amazed by how it worked. It had a few scratches but it didn't really bother me. Conclusion: you could get awesome stuff at an antique shop. P.S it cost me 25 dollars.
The PS1 model we have is SCPH-7501, manufactured in November 1998, and as far back as I can remember, it is able to play backup CDs, it was obviously modded before I started playing it (the original PlayStation was my first experience with gaming, by the way) Coincidentally, when we eventually got a PlayStation 2, we got SCPH-75001, ain't that funny?
I hava a SCPH-1001 dated (June, 1996) and a SCPH-7501 model dated (July,1998) as of yesterday. I will say I like the SCPH-1001 because that what I had as a kid and Resident Evil 1 was my first game. I like the 7501 alot because of already been mentioned in the video about the difference in sound and havng slight delays in games on the SCPH-1001,which I can say doesn't happen too much. I still just play my SCPH-1001 model just because that what i had on Playstation 1 launch day as a kid. I just ordered Resident Evil 1 about three days ago. I'm so excited! But the 7501 model is the best performance model! I really love the fact that the 1001 model and the 7501 model are the same color that being the Old Grey Color!
I Think I had the 5000 model but I was 5 or 6 and I didn't know the difference back then but I'm getting the PS One slim I miss playing my PS1 games on original hardware and getting the slim saves alot of space my setup is kinda cramped up so that's a great way for me to get my PS1 fix great video.
You give a video on the different variations, but underneath the hood there's nearly more hardware revisions than there are games, subtle differences, but differences none-the-less. I opened up two SCPH-1002 units and found the power supplies were noticeably different. Sony, and other console engineers aren't finished at launch, those hardware revisions just keep on rolling out, either to streamline manufacturing, reduce the cost, or increase the reliability, all while trying to maintain 100% compatibility. A top effort, really, especially when we've seen major components such as video and audio chips be substituted within the lifespan of a console. Also, it's not the PS1 Slim, it's the Psone, pronounced "P-sony", like P-Diddy, because P-names were fashionable at the time.
The date code on that PSone slim is 3D. That means it was made the 4th quarter of 2003. I currently own a 5501 from August 1997 and a 101 from September 2000
Managed to snag a 1001 and a 9001 at a game sale. The casing on the 1001 is a bit broken though but should be fine as long as I don't mess with it. I also have a 7501 with a slightly finicky laser.
I have a 5501, made in September of 97, it has the more noticeable multi out and serial i/o pins and the date is written in plain text at the bottom left corner of the sticker. So, I guess Sony had slight variations in the different models through the years, then must have came out with a newer model every time there were large changes made.
I was trying to remember which ps model i had when i was a kid and for sure i had the 7000 model cuz mine came with dualshock controllers plus i remember using gameshark which would plug in to the back via the parallel port for cheating in games thx for the video!!
Thanks, I prefer the bios for the slim model, I love the gray color screen, it almost looks like the PAL bios with the piano and music note for CD player and a memory card for memory cards.
Getting rid of the AV jacks sucks because then you are forced to use their proprietary cable “AV Multi Out”. I mean overall not a big deal but I like the convenience of being able to just use any cable. I used to have that model with the AV jacks but I think it had the right side facing laser. Now I have one from 1997 not sure of the model but it has the parallel port.
hey! how are you?:) i'm your new subscriber and i liked your ps 1 differences video, as i'm a Sonyboy and i love ps 1 with all my soul. By the way, you have a slim model 101, and I always had 102. And even now I have ps 1 two copies of model 102.
There is actually two PlayStation slim models. Besides the multiple PS2 slim models. The SCPH-101 is not the last model. The last model was SCPH-102 or even 103, 104, but I don't think they were officially released. My favorite model is the early revisions like 1001 and 1002 and so forth... :)
Yeah and the 7501 they both have the same laser but the 7501 is the last model that has the parallel port if its important to you otherwise get the 9001
My original 7501 just failed with the analogue circuit losing power shortly after it's turned on so it only works with digital controllers. Had no video skip. Replaced it with a 5501 but that one has video skipping issues.
My one ain’t in the vid. All I can say to describe it is that the eject button has the arrow like the 9002 model, but unlike the 9002 it has the letter power on the left
On the 100X model that RFU DC out plug was to supply power to a RF modulator, SONY had the same RCA jacks and DC plug with the exact same spacing on other AV equipment (Camcorders, etc) the RF modulator would fit all of them. Even the Nintendo Play Station prototype had those port spaced exactly like the PS1-100X
i got myself a retropie a few years ago and i can literally play everything from the ps1. japanese imports, american versions, even... yikes, my native pal trash but damn, i want an og version again :D
I have a 1001 and a 7501 the 1001 won’t spin the discs so we tried a 7501 and it turns on and it spins and even if it does not have composite ports i tested it with just the ac adapter and I could tell and then we found a cable from my dads *sony* camcorder lol, and we are buying an av-multi out cable and some controllers :)
We had the original 1995 model but after ff7 came out the fan died from overuse so we got a newer model. My dad said the fans were an issue in the first models.
@@turbomario well they said that when I was in grade 6 i already addressed this with the other guy that's great no fan ill keep that in mind so when I travel back in time I can correct the guy at canadian tire or wherever we got it thanks great awesome
I got a PS1 the model is 5552. It's great. For me. I have never owned a PS1 before. Plus. The PS1 is in mint condition. I'd recommend it to anyone who does not have a PS1 and is thinking of getting one. 5552 is for you. And I don't know when it came out. Can someone tell me?
Well it works better if you take one from a Slim Ps1 it works actually pretty good "although you'll have to take the plastic cover from both and swap them", it makes it a decent system.
The 1001/1002 has the best audio chip though. The lasers are at fault being close to the power supply, but it's easy to swap a new laser (KSM-440 transport, available for peanuts!) into one, and not too difficult to adjust the laser intensity, bias, and gain to keep one running a bit longer. The RCA jacks on the back are also useful for Namco G-Con owners, or those who want separate stereo audio. The same with many consoles and their revisions, especially those by Sony, the first one is always balls-to-the-wall, and subsequent revisions aim to lower the cost and/or improve reliability. I think the only console where the hardware improved noticeably during the lifespan of the console was the SNES with it's 1chip models.
Does anyone knows how to dump PSone's BIOS in chunks or in whole to a Memory Card ?!?!?! Please answer me here or to my e-mail if possible: ass_breaker@live.com.mx
@@cutemimi25 The original SCPH-1002 has the word power and the word open but all other PAL models have the symbols instead. The most likely reason that Sony did that was so you can tell the difference between the PAL and NTSC models because most people won't know that 0 and 1 are NTSC and 2, 3, and 4 are PAL.
Worst to best Worst: 1000 (worst quality of laser, video, and fvms) 5000 and 7000 (not much different, so i'll be talking of them next) (they have less fvm issues, but still have it, video and lasers problem remains, but the laser is stronger, also these models forward do not have separated rca cables connectors) 9000 (very similar to 7500, but without parrarel input) Best: 7500 (these models forward have better video and laser quality, as well as fully working fvms, also, the last models with pararrels i/o input, and (Japanese 3000 version is the international 1000 versions, and japanese 1000 versions are the same as 3000 japanese and 1000 international, but they have an s video output)
Extra info: 1000-5500 pal models has a different bios background, and slim model has a variant Also, all PAL versions except 1000 has icons in the power and open buttons, intead of words, as well as all slim models
9000 series were produced around 1998-1999. You can always check Wikipedia and google in general but I am pretty sure. You could also open your console and check the plastic casing. There is a print of the year, month and week the casing was made. It can give you at least a general clue. PSXs are very easy to disassemble.
Soo if I want the best experience with graphics, best quality system and one that I should have the least issues with, which model should I get? Thanks
The laser does not overheat the slides the laser assembly rides on were plastic. Over time the heat would warp the plastic slides and it would not sit level so it stop reading discs. The 1001 model has the RCA jacks to plug a light gun into to play light gun games. Important note you also need at CRT or (tube) tv to use a light gun though. The response time are milliseconds compared to a LCD tv.
5500J, 7501x2 9000J and 9001 have but Lens position at 11 o'clock is not good due to the phenomenon that the lens sinks due to the heat of power trans.

I’m an Xbox dude but I love the ps1, and it’s easier for me to Like because the original Xbox did not exist until around the ps2
What about the models with cymbals rather than wording i.e. - open and power.
That's for the PAL region, I like those designs, The US only got them for the slim model.
were the change from power and open to symbols on the fat model a uk only thing??
Actually it's a PAL thing, Australia/New Zealand got the Power and Eject symbols also but Reset still says Reset.
@@cutemimi25 The original SCPH-1002 has the word power and the word open but all other PAL models have the symbols instead. The most likely reason that Sony did that was so you can tell the difference between the PAL and NTSC models because most people won't know that 0 and 1 are NTSC and 2, 3, and 4 are PAL.
Worst to best
Worst: 1000 (worst quality of laser, video, and fvms)
5000 and 7000 (not much different, so i'll be talking of them next) (they have less fvm issues, but still have it, video and lasers problem remains, but the laser is stronger, also these models forward do not have separated rca cables connectors)
9000 (very similar to 7500, but without parrarel input)
Best: 7500 (these models forward have better video and laser quality, as well as fully working fvms, also, the last models with pararrels i/o input, and
(Japanese 3000 version is the international 1000 versions, and japanese 1000 versions are the same as 3000 japanese and 1000 international, but they have an s video output)
Extra info: 1000-5500 pal models has a different bios background, and slim model has a variant
Also, all PAL versions except 1000 has icons in the power and open buttons, intead of words, as well as all slim models
@@mauriciominicuci6544 I actually like the PAL Grey background more than the purple rainbow color we got which was ugly in my opinion :/
@@Rikarocks2001 ok
My Console SCPH-9002 doesn't say when it was made?
Do you know when it was made? I heard it was made in 1997 - 1998 but do you know?
9000 series were produced around 1998-1999. You can always check Wikipedia and google in general but I am pretty sure. You could also open your console and check the plastic casing. There is a print of the year, month and week the casing was made. It can give you at least a general clue.
PSXs are very easy to disassemble.
@@itchy.tasty. Ok thanks for giving me some info.
Late 1998 but mostly 1999
The Xbox under the ps1:bruh
What does the Serial port do?
It allows you to connect 2 PS1s together.
I like the fact that there's an Xbox under all of these lol
I mostly play my PS1 games on my PS2 fat
I do as well these days, I don't have any of the PS1's anymore, I sold them since I play games on my PS2's now.
Soo if I want the best experience with graphics, best quality system and one that I should have the least issues with, which model should I get? Thanks
The SCPH 9000. Less features but it lasts a lifetime.
@@LaynusST yeah i have the 9001 and the slim, they are the most reliable
@@califaern3sto My slim is broken, it won't read discs, and I don't really own another PS1 model anymore. I play PS1 games on my PS2 slim.
@@LaynusST ps2 slims are known to randomly scratch ps1 discs, i also play on my ps2 as well, i got the ps2 fat model
@@califaern3sto My PS2 slim works just fine, I don't have any problems with it scratching discs.
which model Pal is best? 7502 ?? Someone can me help ?
Go for the SCPH-5502, it's the best PS1 model out there.
@@Rikarocks2001 why 5502? what you think about 7502?
@@xsxyz345 7502 has a more reliable laser
Hey so I hear that the spch-1001 overheats the laser. Does that damage the game over time? Also is the Psone more reliable than the Spch-1001?
Yeah petty much the most reliable is the 9001 and ps1 slim
The laser does not overheat the slides the laser assembly rides on were plastic. Over time the heat would warp the plastic slides and it would not sit level so it stop reading discs. The 1001 model has the RCA jacks to plug a light gun into to play light gun games. Important note you also need at CRT or (tube) tv to use a light gun though. The response time are milliseconds compared to a LCD tv.
Anyone ever tell you you sound like will forte
I have 2 SCPH-101. I want to get a Japanese model.
Nice.
@@Rikarocks2001 i just received the .PlayStation SCPH-7001 in the mail today. i hope you have a great day.😁😁😁😁😁

Maybe I will get a PS1 for my CRT TV Because I play PS1 on my CRT TV before it looks better to play PS1 on the CRT TV then the modern TV
Probably a good idea
I have a Potato 🥔
I have a 9002
That's the Pal region.
5500J, 7501x2 9000J and 9001 have but Lens position at 11 o'clock is not good due to the phenomenon that the lens sinks due to the heat of power trans.
So the 1001 model was the first ps phat released ok I got that one now I got to get the others lol LETS GO
I had old PlayStation 1 and it broke down but I still have ps1 original GAMES. My question is.. Does old PlayStation 1 original GAMES does work in new PlayStation One slim?.
Some do and some don't.
+Rikarocks2001 Thank you. I am appreciate your helpful.
Really hard to choose between ps1 and n64 whose with me?
