Game still plays and acts 100% because its, well, actually running on a ps1. The disc drives almost always are the weakest part in older consoles, so being able to still play the games without wearing out the disc drive (or of your disc drive is already broken) is awesome.

      ​@@BulbaSmasher >buys consoles and games for display, instead for playing them
      Yeah, millenials do that a lot.
      PSIO is definitely the best option out there, since it allows to play ISO's on real hardware.
      Action replay has nothing to do with how to play ROM's/ISO's; action replay is just any good for cheating in games.
      But if you don't even have the game, how to cheat?
      See, makes no sense what you're spouting here.
      Sure, you will need to find the ROM's online, or you just create your own back-up of the games you own by using a tool called ''Imageburn'', putting the PS1 game of your choice into the CD drive of your PC and letting the program do its magic.
      It really is that easy to create your own ISO.
      PSP/PS Vita/PS3 all just emulate; it is not the real console.
      That too applies to the PS1 Classic, which was we all know at this point, is just the PCSX emulator in disguise of a retro console from the 90's.
      The PSIO however doesn't emulate the games themselves, but the mechanics of the hardware of the original console, meaning that there won't be game-specific hacks like say, in emulators such as ZSNES.
      It even is listed in the FAQ on the official PSIO site.
      ps-io.com/faq/
      Please get your facts right next time, before spouting snarky remarks that are not witty at all, let alone fail to be correct.
      @SennaFan The reason why people bitched about the PAL games on the Playstation Classic were, because PAL games run slower, which is to be expected by an emulator.
      No matter how people put it, an emulator will never replicate the original console perfectly.
      Sony just fucked up deceiving people this time; PAL games run perfectly fine on (guess what) PAL-optimized consoles. Since Sony mixed the NTSC and PAL roms and just used an emulator instead of builing an actual, real console, it was to be expected that people will notice the slowdown.
      That said, you said ''The only irony here is this flash let's you play JAP imports and PAL GAMES! The very games people claimed ruined the classic. Yet here, no one mentions it? That's ironic.''
      What's your point?
      You do realize that people can use the PSIO flashcard to put whatever ISO's on SD card, right?
      They are not limited to play neither european nor japanese games.
      And even then, japanese PS1 games are NTSC, just like american PS1 games, so that's just a moot point that makes no sense.
      People complained about these games because the Playstation Classic wasn't optimized to play both, NTSC and PAL games.
      The SD2SNES for example allows for selecting what region you want the games to play as, meaning you can choose between PAL (50Hz) and NTSC (60Hz).
      I don't know if PSIO suppots such an option yet, but I doubt they wouldn't include this option later on, if the device doesn't do so already.
      Since PSIO can be updated via firmware updates, compatibility with games can also be improved, and new features can likely be added, too.
      Currently, there are only like 2-3 games that are unplayable/freeze, with a handful of other games having minor issues.
      Other than that, every game runs perfectly fine.
      www.cybdyn-systems.com.au:82/issues/?filter=-5
      I swear, people need to do their homework
      So much misinformation and entitled pricks spouting nonsense online...
      Edit: Yes, you can switch video modes, so switching from PAL output to NTSC input and vice versa is a thing.
      Definitely recommend buying a PSIO.
      And if you are not good at soldering (like me), the developers of the device offer to install it for you.
      Just buy the device, the switch board kit and the mainboard modification service and you should be good.
      If all that is worth your money, that's up to you, but looking at what you get for the bang of your buck, it's definitely worth it.

    They spent years developing this and when they release it they make you mod the console.
    It's just a shame because GDEMU has put out SD cards for the Dreamcast & the Saturn and more and all you have to do is remove the optical drive and then plug the unit in and it works. No modding is needed, which is a much bigger selling point.
    They need to revise this so that the detection works through the serial port alone and no modding is needed. I would rather the CD drive just stopped working when the unit was plugged in and it overrode the CD drive.
    Sadly it a big NO from me.

    • @SerBallister

I missed out on the pre-orders 2 times before I finally was able to place an order as they just sent an email out of the blue and it was first order first served basis. Cybdyn offer a mod service where you send in your PSX motherboard and they install the switch board for you. Not that it is hard. You just need a basic solder iron with a thin tip and some patience. Instructions are clear. They are working on a way to avoid the switch board but that takes time developing.

    • @hanzobi1926
      @hanzobi1926 5 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      It's no different from a mod chip install 20 + years ago. The trace cut are only the most tedious ones of the install but if you have the right tools it's fine. I had zero soldering experience and did my PU-8 board fine. A plug n play solution without a board install will never happen because SONY did not have direct access to the CD-ROM controller and that is why the board is needed to re-route the communication from the Parallel Port to the CD drive, hence why a bad install, the console won't boot or the CD-ROM will not be recognised when PSIO is plugged in because PSIO still works side by side the drive.

It was one of the first games that ever came out with the launch of Playstation. Only know that because I bought it on or very near launch day along with the Playstation. Philosoma, Kileak the DNA Imperative, Tekken 2 and Resident Evil... and of course the obligatory Ridge Racer were the first games I bought with the Playstation. I am actually super interested in getting one of the PSIO devices - it would be so cool to go back and play Twisted Metal without the weird and long loading problems for the levels (as an example)! Come to think of it... if loading was quick for all of those games - it might make some of them many times more fun to go back and experience them again.
