It has really idiotic game choices and uses PAL region ISOs. Most games don't even run full speed. How is there "nothing" wrong with it? They literally just crammed some unoptimised random garbage into a PS1 shaped case and shipped it.

What I liked about PS Classic is that it is simply useless for anything but playing classic video games. My PC has many features that distract me, in addition to being my workplace, so sometimes I like to simply turn on a console that doesn't allow me anything but to play an old game and relax.

>>6281796
>Yes the controllers are great
The X button on my first controller stopped working properly after about 20 hours of use. I don't think it's a quality controller, to be honest. But with Retroboot I can use my Dualshock3 so whatever...

>What games are you guys putting on it?
Gran Turismo 1 is a very competent game and it holds up today.
I also installed Symphony of the Night with this hack HardType):

Besides them, Tetris Plus (its puzzle mode is really fun); Tomb Raider 1 (OpenLara to run natively in HD and 60 fps) and Silent Hill.

I also installed some Super Mario World romhacks, but the SNES emulators input lag makes the game almost unplayable.

I got one of these before the lockdown, having almost zero experience with the playstation library, it's been great so far. I've been burning through the platformers like crazy. I've always considered that my fave Genre but as an N64 kid I don't know how I came to that conclusion, seems like PS1 had N64 beat in that department, Mario and Banjo being really polished don't really make up for the quanitity imo.

Also playing the Resident Evil series for the first time and it's pretty dope so far.

I know it's easier to play on an emulator on my laptop but I don't give a shit, I don't like tying up my computer with games and I like the presentation and UI that these mini consoles come with.

i never really grew up with the PS1 (i got it like a year before the PS2 was announced) but looking at all the games i downloaded onto my PS classic i think it's safe to say that i'd probably be more into fighting games if i had grown up with it.

Nope, the original firmware doesn't support them. They have the same electrical standards. All USB 3.0/3.1 drives are backward compatible to 2.0, and I think even 1.0. Your PSC just won't be able to use all that speed with its inferior 2.0 port.

I get why you guys don't think it's for you, I DO NOT think you're autistic for doing what you do. Why is it so beyond your comprehension that we like the featureset these things have? We understand there are similar packages, but this has everything we need done done.
We don't need to put the pi in a case, objectively we DO still have to mess with firmware and shit so that's fair, we don't need to (hard)mod anything to either play backups or connect to modern hardware(which you don't have to do for all solutions with native consoles either, and there's always upscaling even if it introduces lag), we don't have to make sure aged controllers work right and for those of us with no friends it comes with a backup even if they're chinesium(they honestly feel pretty good but some anon says their x button broke ITT and i would expect somy to cut corners), and you can put more shit on it than just ps/ps homebrew like any other, basically what it is, fruit pi thinger

First one I played was Croc, and while the tank-like controls seem off putting at first it's easy to get the hang of. The last two levels are hard as balls, but there's a level in the 2nd to last world where you can easily farm lives.

I'm liking ape escape a lot, but unfortunately you can't play it with the controller that comes with the system and even if you buy a USB dualshock, you'll need to launch it through retroarch. I actually prefer the d-pad for other games so I really did just buy a dualshock to play one game, hah.

Gex was pretty cool, I like that he can cling to just about anything, even the background. If you find his speech annoying you can turn it off.

Crash and Spyro have been fun so far, I beat the first two crashes and am nearly done with 2nd spyro. The save system in Crash 1 is busted as shit though so abuse save states any time you beat a really hard level.

I'm trying not to play too many games at once so I haven't played too much else. Adventures of Little Ralph seems like a fun japan only platformer starring a cute kid with a sword. Death animations are a bit unsettling though.

I have a mATX emulation/entertainment station connected to my television and ROMs stored on my home server.

Then get a real PS1 or 2 with an OSSC then if you have that kind of money.
>I'm worried about what I get for $20.
Clearly since you enjoy buying trash.
>An "authentic" setup takes up hundreds or even thousands of times more volume
Nigger what kind of fucking overpriced $1300 efficiency apartment are you living that you can't fit a normal sized PS1 or 2 in, or a Pi for that matter? And no, MUH LAG is not a counter argument to those.
>for an objectively worse experience.
YOU BOUGHT A FUCKING CLASSIC THAT'S WELL DOCUMENTED TO NOT EMULATE GAMES PROPERLY

YOU ALREADY BOUGHT THE WORST EXPERIENCE

HOLY FUCKING SHIT NIGGER HOW ELSE DO WE NEED TO SPELL IT OUT? YOU SPENT MONEY ON THE WORST WAY TO PLAY PS1 GAMES

I think people who don't work at a PC all day really take for granted how much it sucks to go from "bad screen" to "good screen".

Even though I like PC gaming better I tend to lean toward consoles just because I feel so much more at ease in my comfy armchair playing games

Poorfags don't get how money works. You don't spend what you have, that's not how you end up making enough to pay rent.
>PS1 IS SO SMALL
PS1, the games(at least a spindle of burned discs, I don't have a burner so I'll have to get a usb one and some discs), the upscaler if there's no internal mod that I can waste a bunch of time soldering in(yes, I know how, I don't want to because my time is valuable and work isn't fun) at minimum and if i go full autism an entire CRT. if i upscale it's not AUTHENTIC enough for you anyway i'm sure. or for $20 i get a close approximation that looks good on my shelf--DOESN'T LOOK LIKE PIC RELATED, LOOKS LIKE A FUCKING SHRUNKEN DOWN PS1-- and stick a fucking usb drive in it and play fucking games on a TV i own.

Not my problem

I don't know why you are spending time arguing. Everyone here agrees that mini consoles are stupid and only serve to take money from collectors or nostalgic.
But the point is that the PS Classic was such a failure that the price dropped to $20, which made it interesting for people who for some reason want cheap equipment to emulate old consoles.

It's being argued that at the price point of $20 it's still not compelling because they think it's

That's how supply and demand works. MSRP was $100 on release. It was garbage, so nobody wanted it, and the price dove to $20 before it started moving at a rate that would get it out of [Retailer]'s warehouse. Amazon was $24 at rock bottom. Now fair market value is $40 NIB because there's a limited supply to match the limited demand.

But the shit you said is almost all wrong though.
>no analog controllers
We don't want them and you can connect any controller to one with an idiotproof dongle or one you already have if you're not retarded.
You mod these things by putting roms on a USB drive and sticking it into controller port 2 and they run just fine(no slowdown, skip, lag) and run whatever you want from whatever region you want.

So everything stated in that post is correct. You can't argue your way out of facts, idiot, it doesn't matter if you wasted your money on one.
Also who the fuck is "we"? Why would you want to miss out on the games that use analog controls?
