This one is my favorite. My only real complaint about it is that it doesn't have a serial port, but I've never been presented an opportunity to use a link cable before anyways.

it was called the PSX because the project codename was Playstation X and the magazines asked for a TLA the could use for the system
after the PS2 came out, it's just easier to consider it the PS1, especially when you consider the existence of the PSone

What's the official name of the PSO screen.
post Atari, Sega, Sony, SNK, Hudson, Nintendo Etc. and third parties.

The "PS One" should've been "PS1"

All you fuckin' faggots have no taste and zero class.

Am I retarded for wanting one of these and not a mini emulator? Anybody use one of the LCD screens?

I actually stopped calling it PSX when that thing arrived.

This is probably true. I often avoided saying PS1 because the PSOne existed and my PlayStation was not that model.

Hi /vr/,

I helped my friend move house last week and to cut a long story short I've ended up with a broken PSone. I have an idea for a project, I want to put a Raspberry Pi in there which is easy enough to do but I want to buy one of those LCD screens for it so I'd need to use the original power and AV ports, I have a couple of questions if you would be so kind to help me out.

>Power
As far as I'm aware the plug itself houses the PSU and it's rated at 7.5V and 2.0A, I'm in the UK btw. I was thinking of having a small powered USB hub inside the PSone connected to the DC port and having the Pi draw power from that along with maybe an SSD for ROMs/ISOs. I just have no idea how I would make this work in regards to voltage/amps, I can do a decent job of soldering and stuff like that but I'm not exactly an expert when it comes to electricity and power. Does anyone have any suggestions?

>AV port
I believe I could just wire in the composite output from the Pi but I'd rather get RGB. I'd rather steer clear of HDMI converters if possible due to possible lag and very limited space in the PSone.
I found this VGA board:

Does anyone know if it would be possible to get RGB from this VGA to the AV out? I have the pinout here:

Also, I'm not even sure what kind of video the LCD accepts from the PSone, does anyone know if it actually takes RGB or if it just takes composite from the playstation?

Thanks
