So, I'm plannig on getting the PSX.
Which is better to take, original or PSone?
>>320860978
Oh, and are PS2 gamepads and memory cards compatible with PSX?
Just emulate them on PC with a microsoft controller
>>320860978
Really doesn't matter. PSone is just smaller and easier to carry.
But why not just get a PS2? It has a native backwards compatibility with PS1 games.
>>320861096
no, and no.
Even on PS2, you cannot save PS1 games on a PS2 card.
God I love the original PSX design so much. I would kill for Sony to make the PS4 slim a replica of it.
>>320860978
Get the original model. You'll need the Serial I/O port on the back to use PSIO when it's released.

the current PS4 is already so loud I can't imagine they could make anything smaller
>>320860978
As >>320861707 says, the PSOne lacks the I/O port. It's used for external modding chips needed for playing games written onto CD-Rs.
>>320860978
Depends on whether you're getting this.

>I'm plannig on getting the PSX.
Why?
>>320861336
I think you could drag them onto the PS2 card for plain storage though
>>320861524
i've never thought of it, but you're right, the PS1 is a beautiful design.
>>320861336
I pretty sure that PS2 (DualShock 2) controllers can be used on a PSX/PS1.
>>320861336
>But why not just get a PS2?
Already have, but it is needed to get modchipped or I have to find some license games to perform swap trick on it. After all, I'll need a PSX memory card.
Thus, it's simpler and doesn't make real financial difference to get an original Playstation for me.

>AUD $150
It looks nice but it's too expensive for me. Playstations here aren't more expensive than 50$ USD.
>>320862097
Play games?
>>320862013
Wonder if someone here has some experience with it.
>>320862480
What you're trying to say is, you got a bunch of pirated PS1 CDs laying around and want to play them.
Not sure why you wouldn't just emulate them.
>>320862464
This
>>320861336
actually yes and no
>>320861096
you can use ps2 controllers on ps1 but not memory cards. You can however backup ps1 save data onto a ps2 card (using the ps2) but its only a backup and can't be used for games.
>>320862464
This. PS1 and 2 controllers can be interchanged between consoles as the user wishes.

Its a pretty good screen. If you don't still happen to have a nice CRT lying around, its a huge improvement over playing on an HDTV.

How much does it usually cost?
