What is the general consensus on the quality of emulation on the PS1 classic (mini)? Does it emulate PS1 games well or do they come out glitchy? I'd like to hack it and add games.

I bought a SNES classic and I hacked it and have been loving it. I Just beat Final Fantasy 1 last night. I've heard about all the quality RPGs on the PS1.

For those who have bought it and played the pre-loaded games, and for those who have hacked it, how have your experiences with the emulation been?

>> No.5717738

I also own a PS2 slim which I know is backwards compatible with PS1, but I'm still leaning towards going with the classic. PS1 games are expensive these days.

I'm also a bit weary of how well CD based game consoles will fare as they age.

>> No.5717778

Don't really have or want one, but it was interesting that prices had dropped. Apparently, you will get better PS1 performance from it by installing retroarch instead of running its stock OS. That makes it cheaper than a RetroPi, and probably runs almost as many games.

>> No.5717819

I haven't looked at the PS1 Classic hack yet. Is it just about running RetroArch? I've already got that on my laptop.

If you don't care about having a little low power machine that looks like a tiny PS1, you are probably better off just emulating on your PC. I can see it being a cute toy to plug in to distract kids on the holidays without having to let them touch your computer.

Do yourself a favor and just get a Raspberry Pi.

Too poor to pay content creators so they resort to emulation (stealing) while bitching about copyright.

We've been able to emulate PS1 for twenty years, literally while it was still in production. No you don't need to buy these boxes.

emulation is pretty bad on it, but if you hack it thats a nonissue.
it's easily worth the 25-30 dollars for it.

I bought a ps classic a few days ago when it was 25 dollars. it was extremely easy to get retroarch on it. You can even increase the resolution and make pal games run at 60Hz. Though I'm still trying to figure out why some games will get added to my games list and not others. I'm starting to think it only runs .bin and .cue files.

It only makes sense that the Reddit type guys who are sjws and socialists love feeling superior and telling others about their “authentic” hardware for social status points. The based centipedes know that social media stuff is gay, and just emulate.

Huh, the official SOC shitboxes have more +'s. I guess that's what you should go with.

>> No.5725709

If you can get it cheap its a pretty decent emulation box. Kyland did wonders for it bringing over the stuff from the SNES Classic to it. Its around the same performance of a Pi 3. You can mod it to load up via an OTG adapter plugged into the back of the console now.
Though with the Pi 4 out. It might be worth the extra to get one of those instead.
