PSIO - Play PSX games from SD/HDD

[signz]

That sounds awesome! The CD-ROM drive of my PS1 is kinda "MacGyver'd" (toothpick and thick, folded piece of paper are pushing one contact onto the PS1's mainboard (got no soldering tools, lol) - it works great, but SD/HDD loading sounds... uber!). Really looking forward to it hoping it won't cost too much.

The first page of this thread is hilarious. Everyone is asking questions for stuff they already understand.

*cough* multiman and a cfw ps3... *cough* nuff said and it's free.

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

and do you know how much this device will cost to run on your ps1? you are best off looking at the alternatives which will be much cheaper anyway.

Isn't this kind of useless? I have a laptop from 2004 with an early and crappy celeron processor that can play ps1 games.

I'll gave you a cookie if you can even find a working ps1. Mine had problems since the day i bought it, brand new. PS1s are pieces of crap in terms of quality hardware and I be surprised if any survived the test of time.

I'll have a white chocolate chip cookie in that case. Mine is fine, and I got it through the console hell known as a "Goodwill store."

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 got mine for €3

Oops I meant what Dreamcast project uses SD cards to play backups?

 

[shakirmoledina]

well good for those who already have one but not for those who want to buy a new item just for this. especially since the emulator runs on possibly every computer even a notebook (eepc samsung etc).
i just feel that the ps2 is more in demand and requires more effort but definitely this is an amazing technology.

 

[Ace Overclocked]

meh, usb loading didn't work in the ps2 for my hdd...

 

[Zerosuit connor]

Yay, an Australian team. This actually doesn't look to bad.

 

[Sheimi]

Heh, I might just buy this.

 

[Gahars]

That's... a pretty neat idea, actually. I'm not sure if it's really all that necessary, but hey, I'm not complaining.

 

[lovewiibrew]

I love this because emulation is never perfect and it takes lots of time to burn many cds, and even then you are wearing the laser down using a cd-r. I'm hoping it will have covers to scroll through (like wii usb loaders). I certainly donated to give the team some motivation.

I don't know the current prices and cba looking them up, who cares?

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

YOU SIR ARE AN ASSHOLE.
