Yeah, it would be a sin.

Thanks for doing this video with me. You ROCK Chris!!

Hi Cris, can you up the video with normal speed?

@@TuMalaCon100cia this was recorded as a time lapse. I didn't record a normal video sorry.

If only they made a USB version so you can connect a 4 TB hard drive and have the whole psx collection. Ntsc and pal 😍😍😍

Subbed for helping your friend.

Rathori Khass If you like to play discs, it’s kind of a bummer.

@@RichLunaMusic Urgh, why would you want to play discs when they can skip and take longer to load?. Surprised you didn't mention "piracy" lol

Rich Luna you can still play discs, it won’t affect the drive at all

@@RichLunaMusic you can still use your discs. What I like here is you can use a digital ROM file without using an emulator. Game still plays and acts 100% because its, well, actually running on a ps1. The disc drives almost always are the weakest part in older consoles, so being able to still play the games without wearing out the disc drive (or of your disc drive is already broken) is awesome.

0/10 not enough skipping Just kidding it'll be great to finally get some use out of my PS1 with a hardly working laser

thats my plan too since i dont want to throw my old ps1

Adam Christensen , same thing with me, it will be nice little project

Same Here. My original PS console no longer reads disks. Here in Australia this PSIO mod cost exactly the same as the PS Classic. Cartridge remods me of the PS Hacker one with built in Action Replay cheat codes. I used to mod the original console so it became multi region and use the disc swap method to play backup cd-r games.

Y'all could also buy an aftermarket lens for about $10.

John S. Are those any good? I have an extra PS1 that seems to have some disc reading issues

@SennaFan telling someone how "sad" their life is (over a video game), then comment "let it go" is pretty ironic. Take your own advice and relax yourself.

"Even more of a reason to ignore any classic consoles" lol there fixed it for ya... also this is even worse than other options.. even my 1997 action replay takes less work that this lol... also if you have a psp 3000 or a vita.. you are doing better lol and hell even a ps3.. *i got a ps1 classic day one* looks great on my display.. will never be opened like my ness and sness (got both editions, us and japan)

@SennaFan that was one thing. Yea. The emulation itself is what makes the PS Classic a piece of shit. But now it's obvious what triggered you. Thanks for the update.

@SennaFan yea because you know, its uh, video games..you can relax and let it go.

​@@BulbaSmasher >buys consoles and games for display, instead for playing them Yeah, millenials do that a lot. PSIO is definitely the best option out there, since it allows to play ISO's on real hardware. Action replay has nothing to do with how to play ROM's/ISO's; action replay is just any good for cheating in games. But if you don't even have the game, how to cheat? See, makes no sense what you're spouting here. Sure, you will need to find the ROM's online, or you just create your own back-up of the games you own by using a tool called ''Imageburn'', putting the PS1 game of your choice into the CD drive of your PC and letting the program do its magic. It really is that easy to create your own ISO. PSP/PS Vita/PS3 all just emulate; it is not the real console. That too applies to the PS1 Classic, which was we all know at this point, is just the PCSX emulator in disguise of a retro console from the 90's. The PSIO however doesn't emulate the games themselves, but the mechanics of the hardware of the original console, meaning that there won't be game-specific hacks like say, in emulators such as ZSNES. It even is listed in the FAQ on the official PSIO site. ps-io.com/faq/ Please get your facts right next time, before spouting snarky remarks that are not witty at all, let alone fail to be correct. @SennaFan The reason why people bitched about the PAL games on the Playstation Classic were, because PAL games run slower, which is to be expected by an emulator. No matter how people put it, an emulator will never replicate the original console perfectly. Sony just fucked up deceiving people this time; PAL games run perfectly fine on (guess what) PAL-optimized consoles. Since Sony mixed the NTSC and PAL roms and just used an emulator instead of builing an actual, real console, it was to be expected that people will notice the slowdown. That said, you said ''The only irony here is this flash let's you play JAP imports and PAL GAMES! The very games people claimed ruined the classic. Yet here, no one mentions it? That's ironic.'' What's your point? You do realize that people can use the PSIO flashcard to put whatever ISO's on SD card, right? They are not limited to play neither european nor japanese games. And even then, japanese PS1 games are NTSC, just like american PS1 games, so that's just a moot point that makes no sense. People complained about these games because the Playstation Classic wasn't optimized to play both, NTSC and PAL games. The SD2SNES for example allows for selecting what region you want the games to play as, meaning you can choose between PAL (50Hz) and NTSC (60Hz). I don't know if PSIO suppots such an option yet, but I doubt they wouldn't include this option later on, if the device doesn't do so already. Since PSIO can be updated via firmware updates, compatibility with games can also be improved, and new features can likely be added, too. Currently, there are only like 2-3 games that are unplayable/freeze, with a handful of other games having minor issues. Other than that, every game runs perfectly fine. www.cybdyn-systems.com.au:82/issues/?filter=-5 I swear, people need to do their homework So much misinformation and entitled pricks spouting nonsense online... Edit: Yes, you can switch video modes, so switching from PAL output to NTSC input and vice versa is a thing. Definitely recommend buying a PSIO. And if you are not good at soldering (like me), the developers of the device offer to install it for you. Just buy the device, the switch board kit and the mainboard modification service and you should be good. If all that is worth your money, that's up to you, but looking at what you get for the bang of your buck, it's definitely worth it. ps-io.com/store/

Thanks!

Where’d you find 1/2TB Sony Sd cards?

@@beefcurtainz69 Should be 600-700.

How is it any different from a $5 freemcboot memory card for the ps2? You use USB with that.

@@AwesomesMan A lot, because PS1 Popsloader via a FMCB setup on a PS2 is buggy trash. For real hardware use, use mod chip or this. For a software implementation, a PS3 running CFW, PSP or PSvita CFW.

Maybe you should correct his false assumption : «emulating the CD-Rom coprocessor». Yeah, not at all....

I'm a grandmother trying to resurrect my consoles and what's left of my games for grandtwins. I'm researching "mods" so I can copy games I have and soon to start buying. So how do I get the games to an SD card? Is that done on a PC first, then SD in cartridge in parallel port? Sorry if I sound dumb, trying to learn.

@@nanais007 Hi. No problem at all. Yes, it's done on your PC first. Once you've copied your games (and the Menu System), you then insert the SD Card into our PSIO Cartridge and plug the cartridge into your PlayStation console in the Parallel I/O port. Don't forget however, you'll need to install the Switch Board on your PlayStation mainboard prior to this. Thanks.

@@nanais007 Now THAT's an awesome grandma.

This is the way to revive old systems hope one day, we have the same device for GameCube too

Seriously, I feel like picking up a real PS1 now just for this

themcfaceman you should

I don't get it

😂

@@AbG-pk4ti He doesn't have a buddy like Chris but he knows how to solder, so he can do it himself.

@@bardknight You're right. I just talked to a friend a few weeks ago about having a PS1 with SD Card reader... i definetly will do this project.

@@tapsofosiris3110 I guess he deleted the comment before I had a chance to bask in his negativity.

That Guy From Legendary Axe ❤️ totally calm dude! Don’t worry

Faxtron wait what’s CFW?

@@DeegoL9 Custom firmware "jailbreak" your console.

What does the CFW do?

@@themcfaceman With CFW you can install or use whatever you want in your console without restrictions like : emulators, media player, backups from HD, create backups of your games from console, use of Other OS to install Linux, use of control fan with software to reduce temps to avoid YLOD, you can see the temps of your console, use of file manager to copy anything you want or read from your console without restrictions, the use of multiple APPS from thirds like Multiman, Iris Manager, Managunz, etc,etc.

if you have earlier slim models of ps3, it'll be easy for you. tons of soft mod vids out there that would enable you to hack ps3 to play ps1 and 2 games. I run ps2 iso on my ps3 and use raspberry pi 3b+ for my retro games (ps1, snes, gba etc)

There's a 3DO ODE out there for the various models, search for 3do-renovation (Russian site) for info. It can load games from a USB drive.

For the Amiga CD32, there is the Terrible Fire TF328, you should check the channel of Dan Wood, he made a video about it. You transform with this, your CD32, into the ultimate amiga machine.

@Brandon The is a mod board for the PS2 Network adapter that changes the IDE plug for SATA. It works with the original Network Adapter and you keep the LAN support.

@@ichigo3223 I have one, it's only around 8 UK pounds and comes from China but works perfectly! You have to use it with the official network adaptor though, it is my belief that it isn't compatible with the unofficial 3rd party ones!

lol yeah i was thinking the same thing >__< from memory you have to patch the ps2 isos to run of the hdd or usb but yeah ps2, xbox and above are pretty easy to get software ODEs working. Webman for the ps3 one is my favorite

True and to play Xenogears, enough said

Get a fat Ps2 with an external HDD and softmod it with FreeMcBoot just use Opl then and it works perfect✌️

TOASTBROT do you need any thing else to connect to the ps2?

$5 freemcboot memory card off eBay or amazon, then just plug in a usb w games and you’re all set. Easy and cheap.

@@KORUPTable Yes please haha. My email address is awesomesman at gmail

KORERAWR hook it up I have so many scratched ps2 games I need back ups

Though rather difficult to get ahold of...

I got lucky and landed a GDEMU. Marvellous and incredibly easy to install bit of kit.

Gdemu is the best thing ever! One of my best purchases ever. My whole dc library on one sd card with half of the load times.

Tough price to justify, i.e. about 4-6 times the cost of a second hand DreamCast, but with the ability to use ROMs of the entire DC library, having about 4 rare games on it makes you break even. I won't be getting this PSIO because of the soldering issue. No thanks. Come back with the all-in-one option Mr. totally-not-the-company-from-Terminator-honest.

Up

$150? LMAO!!!! PSTV is way cheaper then that and fully hackable and you could run thousands more titles from different gens. I have one with a 264gb usb drive

150 AUS, which is about 110 USD. But yes the soldering is a bummer, but as always with disc based consoles, getting a "flash cart" for them is never as easy as on the cartridge consoles.

you should learn how to solder, is really easy and helpful. i fixed my ps2 by myself three times. This gadget is awesome and is an amazing way to back up my collection

I dont get the price. Moding a ps1 was dirt cheap. I got a modded psone for 15 bucks with 2 og mem cards and 2 og dualshocks. Like 5 months ago 😆

They are £300 to 500($379-633) on Ebay (UK/France)

Quite strange it needs a mod, the PIO slot at the back is ran so early in the Sony BIOS that you have the chance to patch everything in software. Action Replay/etc worked like that.

@@SerBallister Exactly, this is why its not sold out instantly, if this was the case, these things would be impossible to obtain for a while.

@@Whenitraveltheworld ehh it has been selling out quickly despite requiring solder work. I missed out on the pre-orders 2 times before I finally was able to place an order as they just sent an email out of the blue and it was first order first served basis. Cybdyn offer a mod service where you send in your PSX motherboard and they install the switch board for you. Not that it is hard. You just need a basic solder iron with a thin tip and some patience. Instructions are clear. They are working on a way to avoid the switch board but that takes time developing.

It's no different from a mod chip install 20 + years ago. The trace cut are only the most tedious ones of the install but if you have the right tools it's fine. I had zero soldering experience and did my PU-8 board fine. A plug n play solution without a board install will never happen because SONY did not have direct access to the CD-ROM controller and that is why the board is needed to re-route the communication from the Parallel Port to the CD drive, hence why a bad install, the console won't boot or the CD-ROM will not be recognised when PSIO is plugged in because PSIO still works side by side the drive.

When I Travel The World you are dumb. Obviously they would have released it without having to mod the console if they could have. You are suggesting that because they got that to work for other consoles that they should have been able to for PS1. That's not how it works. What's interesting here is that MJR doesn't appear to even be aware of GDemu or the Saturn device or he would never have said that he wished they made one for those consoles.

@@Puretea4711 Oh weird, maybe it's only for the United States I just checked and it said free shipping.

RTFM

@@ilovellamafood checked on my phone it didn't state nothing when I attempt to purchase it.

The chip you have to install comes with the unit.

@@ilovellamafood yeah I found it. But even the pictures wont show it included that's why I was confused.but it's good to know that it be around 130 after shipping. I may consider buying it after new years

@@afistfulofpimples1745 stop it, you're embarrassing yourself.

@@hazy33 Rubbish. No I'm not.

I have owned a PSIO for 3 years and It's a ODE which emulates the physical drive, so in turn won't magically make things any faster. Only slight differences to increased speed is noticeable but then that is also dependent on SD card specs too and firmware.

@@BigDaddy-666 thank you for feeling the need to explain a bunch of unnecessary shit

@@highspeedenthusiast6628 welcome to the internet noob

@@highspeedenthusiast6628 It wasn't unnecessary BS, that will be an eye opening comment for some noobs

@@highspeedenthusiast6628 to answer you in a more relatable way to your question. Short answer is yes. Long(er) answer is yes, but around 2500 games, at the bare minimum of 700mb each, that's around 2tb of stuff just of PS1 roms. That's a lot of cards.

@@highspeedenthusiast6628 What a douche.

@@MetalJesusRocks That would of been awesome. I just watched a hot ones episodes then to this great video. Keep up the good work.

MJR: (being interrogated in a police station) "PSIO, a PS1 SD flash drive built by Cyberdyne systems for retro gamers." Police officer: "Now I understand soldering is required?" MJR: "Something about the motherboard of the console." Police officer: "Why?" MJR: "I DIDN'T BUILD THE FUCKING THING!"

I’m more of a physical game collector... but I’m learning to appreciate solutions like this.

Right, because MJR is supposed to know everything about 40 years of gaming and accessories. :eyeroll

Don't forget the super sd system 3, the neosd and the Terrible Fire TF328...No solution for the sega mega cd yet, but i hope someone will do this in the future.

Get a job.

@@the1ucidone I actually find it kind of expensive too, I would love this hardware, I have a job, but In my case it's something called "priorities". But for now a self programmed and installed MayumiV4 does the job.

At around $110 USD that's about what you would pay for some EverDrives like for the N64, etc...

@@the1ucidone And spend the money on this over a cheaper alternative like a Raspberry Pi? Ha, you're funny.....

I know how you feel. You can buy a used PS3 for half the cost and easier to softmod. Maybe once that all in one option becomes available will this be 100 % worth it. As for me, I'll wait until I save enough tip money to pull the trigger.

I was looking into this product, as such the Rhea, GDEMU. But I'll wait till the price goes down below $100 buck's otherwise it's not worth tearing into my working console.

Say, MJR, have you by chance a Reality Quest the glove controller, for the PlayStation and the N64? It's something worthy of discussion.
