/vr/ - Retro Games

There's nothing wrong with it

I got mine for $20 that one day at BestBuy

As everyone knows Playstation Classic, the mini console released by Sony was a huge disaster for various reasons. Retailers are now selling it dirt cheap, $30 USD / $40 CAD. However the mod scene has taken over, this system was super easy to hack and comes with relatively decent hardware, all you need is a USB drive and you could run RetroArch with dozens of emulators. All the reported issues have been fixed, better emulation, ability to load any games or any emulator you want, etc.

Two solution to mod the classic exist, and both are easy to do.

Comes with original 2 PSX style USB controllers, using an ARM Cortex-A35 & Power VR GE8300 graphics chip, with 1GB DDR3 RAM, 16GB eMMC storage, nice looking PS1 form factor, 20 built in games but some are not properly setup and there are PAL versions a NA release (can be fixed with modding).

Walmart in Canada currently sells it for $40 both on the website and in many stores. US stores have reported $30 during sales.
