The launch model is great you cumguzzling queer.

PSOne has the superior disc drive/laser and is often cheaper.

Top: soul

Bottom: somewhat less soul but still soulful

>>10090560
5501 always

>>10090627
fpbp. love how many ports the motherfucker has.

i need serial port, so top

SCPH-5501/5502 for modding
PSOne for reliability
5501 with a laser swap from a PSOne for the ultimate PS1

>>10090560
Whichever has an SD card mod.

I got the PsOne with FF7 and RE3 Christmas 2000 so I’ll go with that. (Already had n64, Genesis, GBC and a hand me down SNES) Might have already had a Dreamcast as well

i still have mine

>>10090560
Grew up with the original, bought the PSOne last year. They're both great for different reasons. Biggest strength of the PSOne was its portability though sadly the screens and battery packs are expensive and hard to find now.

>>10090627
i've had the same SCPH-1001 since 2002. it's the oldest system in my possession. it still works but i think the drive is finally unfortunately going
i want to fix it. i put a GDEmu in my old, long-dead Dreamcast and it's much better than dealing with GD-ROMs. with PS1 i think i'd rather keep it as it is and play all my real games

>>10092852
Why not have 2 PS1s? One for discs, and one for XStation.

>>10090560
I have a 5502 that is showing it's age, so if i feel like playing on hardware i whip out my PSOne.

Usually i emulate on my Steam Deck though.

>>10092852
I replaced my stock PS1 laser assembly with a clone (?) I bought from China on eBay for under $10 AUD several years ago, and it works perfectly. Have a look inside your PS1 and just type the laser assembly model name/number into eBay.

It's amazing how Sony made the dual analog controller the standard even though there was barely any game that required it and most people had no idea what the point of the second analog was.

>>10090560
PS1 launch has some of the greatest audio cd tech in its day and rivals shit made today

>>10093273
the dual analog estabilished its supremacy by sheer superiority
if snoy had never existed, somebody else would have come up with it on their own

>>10090560
Top. I have two both work fine

>>10093307
True that

>>10090560
there are no PS1 titles worth playing, especially without quality of life improvements only possible with emulation. even Sympathy for a Knight has been outdone by more recent Willy-likes

Is the dual analog controller any good or is the same shit as dual shock and the appeal is like when they mint a coin with a minor error?

>>10093606
the dualshock is a dual analog with added vibrations
did this answer your question?

>>10093635
No you can buy them oem from nipple land with the motors in them. I'm more curious about the comfy factor

Opinion discounted. Nogamerbingbing.

Does PS1 need an rgb mod or is it ready to party of the box? I just never had one and it seems unavoidable. Which one looks and sounds the best and has all the features?

>>10091039
I wish I had digimon stickers ...

>>10093818
i have never done a hardware mod to any of my consoles and never will.

>>10090627
You got way too upset over this, like an actual gay would.

>>10090560
You don't even know what the launch model of the PlayStation even was.

>>10093776
Metal Gear Solid 2 is not a PS1 game

>>10093635
Dual analog has three modes, dual shock only has two.

>>10093578
I'm trans brw

>>10093818
It has RGB. At the very least, 5501 does.

>>10090560
if you want to use it normally psone is the best overall, but it lacks the serial port for system link (which almost nobody used but was kinda cool in a few games). If you get the psone make sure it come with the external power supply.
Older models have internal power supply, you need a standard 2-conductor ac cable.
5501 is the most compatible with aftermarket devices.
Other models are inferior but not that much. I wouldn't pay too much extra for a particular model.

>>10093606
dual analog is a little bit bigger and they sticks dont click in like buttons. The only major difference is obviously the lack of vibration.

>>10095060
>they sticks dont click in like buttons
They do.

>>10093606
If you don't want the vibration, it's better. Concave analog sticks don't slide around like the rubber DS ones, plus it's lighter.

>>10093770

I liked this though, no proprietary cables and you could easily route to your home stereo system. I wish more systems did that up until hdmi became the standard. It would be nice if you could use the same interchangeable connectors for all systems instead of needing to pay more for cords that only work with 1 system from that generation.

>>10095060
>The only major difference is obviously the lack of vibration.
dual shock doesn't have flight stick mode

Right so you can just buy a Japanese dual analog and not miss out on vibration. What about the comfy? Does anyone like it better? I see one anon loves it

>>10090560
just got a psone. so fucking good bros. i have it next to my sega saturn and it's so small in comparison. made a freepsxboot memory card and have been playing mega man legends.

>>10093770
>lower color depth output
Qrd?

>>10094736
what is the point of the third mode?

>>10090560
Hm I hear it's the 5000 series for everything and 1000 for audio

>>10095657
Flight Stick mode, for games that used the analog joystick
