What is Project PSIO?
Project PSIO is a way to back up your PlayStation CD-ROM's, preserve them, and let you play them directly from either a SD card or HDD. This will decrease load times dramatically, as well as improve the overall performance of the console. Some highly important benefits, are that it will lengthen the life of your CD-ROM drive in the PlayStation 1, and reduce disc read errors, choppy music/audio, freezing, delayed frame rates and loud drive mechanical noises.


How much will it be?
At the moment, we can not say. The team plans to ensure high quality, at the lowest price possible to make everyone satisfied.


What OS will be running?
Either a custom menu, or a replicated XMB menu found on the PSP and PS3 with more-or-less features.


Will it have a Virtual Memory Card?
Yes.


Can I listen to music?
Yes.


Can I watch movies/video?
Possibly. It is a real hard feature to add into the OS and make it work well with the PlayStation 1's CPU.


So, I can use a Hard Drive to play my games?
Yes. This is planned to happen after a prototype has been made. For now however, it will only utilise an SD Card.


How do I install PSIO?
At the moment, it needs to be soldered to the PlayStation main/motherboard. However, the aim is to make it plug-and-play when it reaches the market.


Ever heard of an emulator?
No.


Will it have debugging options?.
Yes. It will have a USB port for comms to a PC host.


Will it have a built in GameShark?
Yes. We will add in a cheat system / hex editor.


Where are you located?
Australia.


Will you post Worldwide?
Yes. We plan to.


Who is in your team?
The teams names will be announced once the first prototype has been rolled out to the public.

This sounds sexy. Hope it won't cost an arm and a leg, though... And I hope it's compatible with PS2 as well. Just for lulz.

Er, what.
You need a specific PS3 for mod it plus it's costs like three times more than a PS1.

You can play psx games from the hard drive of a ps3? I thought you could only play burned psx games with multiman.

What, 3 times? Did you take that figure because it is the PS'3' to the PS'1'? You can pick up a Playstation 1 for about 5 - 10 pounds... /sigh

I was just saying you should not just throw random figures out. It's pointless and mis-informing. Something only morons do

Okay if you're playing that game.

Warning! Spoiler inside. 

PS1:

PS3:

Really, who cares. Mostly everyone knows the estimated price of a second hand PS1 and a PS3. My point was clear, you're just nitpicking.

Edit: Oh and if I have to give the right prices, I'd have to look up prices for each region to suit everyone on this forum.

I don't even know why I am writing back, it hardly seems worth the effort for someone like you. I am not 'nitpicking' like an ape, I was just saying. People should not just spew rubbish from their months and not even give it a second thought.

Plus I just had a quick look myself, if you choose completed listings, it shows PSX should £5.99, and a similair sell for dozens.

I was making a point, not trying to sell him one.
