Well, I get your point, but I must say that Sony has failed. They use open source PCSX emulator, with all the extra features turned off (audio/video improvements, image filters...). So you get the worst experience possible. Sure, the case of the console is nice, the controllers feel genuine, but that's about it. ____________________ '87 Honda XBR 500, '96 Kawasaki ZX7R P1, '90 Honda CB-1, '88 Kawasaki GPz550, MZ 150 ETZ

I find the NesPi the best case out there. The buttons and LED work, the placement of USB ports is perfect and they hide the rest of the I/O behind the cartridge door and the HDMi comes out from the back. Throw in some replica NES/SNES USB controllers with same scan lines filter on the screen and the illusion is near perfect.
Feck, I'm buying one!

So the SNES runs PS1 games better than the Playstation classic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ol12g5GxI7Y
FWIW I thought PS1 games looked shocking on the SNES, then I tried a few on my PS3 and they looked just as bad. I obviously forgot how bad (graphically) they were. |

Just bought a PS classic Just over £40 but I had some Nectar points so it cost me under £25. If it's any good I'll sell my SNES mini.
Just what I needed another console... |

Thought I'd write a mini review for the Playstation Classic in case anyone's interested...
Design - I always thought the original Playstation was a bit ugly, but somehow making it smaller has made it more aesthetically pleasing. The case is fantastic although the buttons feel a bit cheap. The controllers are fantastic but obviously don't have analog sticks.
Software - by now everyone knows it's crap, so I'll go into the modding side. It's early days but you can add additional Playstation games with Bleemsync and there's a beta version of retroarch. You need a compatible USB stick but it can plug straight into the controller port (they're standard USB). From the few PS1 games I've tried compatibility seemed ok but not everything works.
Retroarch seems to be the standard software, again it's beta but you get a choice as to what you boot into:
https://modmyclassic.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/psc_bootmenu-300x169.png
What I really liked about the SNES mini was the integration into the Nintendo UI and how it handles save states etc., so this is a negative for me, but for some people it might be a positive. I believe they plan to integrate it into Bleemsync but I'm not sure if that'll mean you can use the systems UI.
Overall is it worth it? No. It might evolve into something better but at the moment everything feels very beta, even the original software. Once you get over the fear of flashing a SNES mini it's actually simpler than modding a PS Classic*, and 'retro' games look better, with less resolution issues etc.. PS1 games look better on the Playstation classic which might be down to filters used by the *coughs* 'Sony' emulator.
*Still simpler than a Raspberry Pi though |
