Video output hurts me most.

I'll give you the power consumption, and I'll give you the Dreamcast Blue Swirl, but in the end NTSC is just able to produce a better quality image.

That and NTSC games usually have less censorship (though NTSC-U has its share)

In regards to american games for PS1 - Misadventures of tron bonne (and legends 2 demo disc) but you're likely better off getting the JP versions since they're much cheaper. Also the various classic titles one should expect. Tony Hawk Pro Skater series is pretty nice (pro boarder in your area if I recall).

I will say if you're able to pick up a DTL-H1000 (or H1001) you can essentially burn and play whatever you want since no lockout is present. Devstations will play anything just like a Net Yaroze (DTL-H300X) will with the exception of it not needing to be a legitimate disc (Devstation will play fucking anything)
I have a DTL-H1200 and honestly I'm willing to patch roms to play em. Generally it's just a way around having to mod a console but also have a nice collectors item too (also throw in the S-Video out, AV/RCA out, and for some reason DC out) so even then the picture quality can be increased too.

gonna be honest, the ps1 should have had more colours for retail units.

i mean look at this green, its fucking beautiful. and the dev blue ones look amazing as well. the matte black net yaroze is a fucking masterpiece too.

Alright, this may be of relevance

So I have a PS1 DTL-H3000 (that net yaroze). Unfortunately I got fucked over since there wasn't any boot card or boot disc with it. I have been on various forums for a way to boot a disc without these 2 items (serial cable may be needed, but don't have one either).

My question is if anyone can give some idea on where I can obtain a bootcard, bootCD, and a the serial cable to PC cheaply, or the alternative is if anyone can explain a way to boot my CD-Rs without using a mod of the sorts
>yes, I'm aware it's region free
>yes, I'm aware modding it isn't needed
>yes, I need to fork over as little money as possible

On a second note
I also have a DTL-H1200 (pictured) and am aware this is a debugging console. My question here is if there's a way to access the debugging features on this somehow
>would really help me
>aiding TCRF on stuff

And finally, parallel I/O port. What's the best possible way to use it to get to my PC (again cheaply)

OP, the answer is: yes you can transplant the lens drives.

I did this after I found out my DTL-H3000 ribbon was torn, so I replaced it with my SCPH-9001 model lens and now it runs fine.

For the record, I'm referring to the whole lens, ribbon, and power connectors. The only thing you need to be aware of is the length the ribbon must travel to get reattached to the motherboard.
