PSone Classic - Smaller = Better

Yikes.

Well, I mean, at least that indicates a smoother experience on the PlayStation Mini once retroarch gets running.

This device is a damn mess.

OMGā€¦this is insane!

Yeaā€¦ thatā€™s embarrassing.

What an embarrassmentā€¦

oh man that is rough.

Iā€™m just amazed Sony did it like this. They had the PSTV hardware, they POPS, they have PS1 classics on PSN already. All they needed was a new shell and controllers. Instead they went for a low-rent SoC that was a total downgrade from PSTV and an open-source emulator that is best known in the community for being the choice for those who canā€™t run anything better.

If you had shown me this situation on paper a year ago when I was looking at discounted PSTVs, I would have said you were crazy to think they wouldnā€™t use that hardware.

I mean, this could have been great.

RetroArch is here

Any mention of performance? Looked like it was holding strong on the small bit of Spyro they had in that video.

Trying to find out but not seen any comparison as yet

Looks like I was pretty close.

Because theyā€™re not using POPS they can use different disc images with better compression.

Total comes in at 7.8GB for the included games.

You have cake!

Itā€™s a few hours early! But yes my birthday is tomorrow 16th.

Itā€™s your RGB anniversary!

Oh! I canā€™t see any cake anywhere.

Next to your name;

Oh, I donā€™t see that. :joy:
