In this video, I show you the method I came up with to cleanly install a Raspberry Pi 3 inside the PlayStation Classic! I decided to do this mod because I love the way the PlayStation Classic looks, but hate its terrible emulation performance and game selection.
Now that I have a Raspberry Pi 3 inside of it, not only do I get the great looks of the PlayStation Classic shell, but also great emulation performance and way more games! I currently have about 350 games on my 512GB micro SD card, with 259GB of free space left!

Great article from Adafruit about removing the ports on the Pi :
learn.adafruit...
UPDATE: At 20:50 when I talk about the momentary switches being grounded without being pressed, what I actually believe is going on is that the 5V connection from the Pi going to the USB ports on the PS Classic board is flowing back through the PS Classic board and causing the top 2 pads of the momentary switches to receive 5V and causing them to trigger their scripts without actually pressing the button. You should be able to just cut the 5V trace from each USB port on the PS Classic board to eliminate the issue. This is something I didn't realize at the time because I was pre-occupied with filming the video. Thank you and good luck if you try this mod!

PLEASE READ! The base image and wiring diagram are now available on my website! www.retrocution.com/2019/01/02/playstation-classic-retropie-image-and-wiring-diagram/ Here's another version of the mod I did where I created a replacement board from scratch so I wouldn't have to cut the PlayStation Classic board. i.imgur.com/EwA35HS.jpg i.imgur.com/4l3l9IP.jpg In the second picture with the wiring attached you can see where I removed more material from the board I made. This actually allowed me to fit the Pi3 with all ports intact. A little more work required, but it can be done! ***Please keep in mind that when I created this video last year the PlayStation Classic hacking scene wasn't what it is today. This is more of a hobbyist project for people that like to mess around with electronics. If you simply want to mod your PlayStation Classic to run better and have more games I would definitely suggest you use the BleemSync method! I hope you find this video entertaining and inspiring. There are limitless possibilities for the projects you can do with a Raspberry Pi!***

(OK, it's my age, but now i know it exists...cool!) Anyway watching what you did was so inspiring I've gone ahead and and bought a classic for £26 (now you know where i am from!) and have a Pi B3+ here ready to do the build!

$100 for a Rpi case that requires cutting the Pi to mod? The board in the PS Classic is more powerful than a 3b+, wouldn't it make more sense to wait until the PS Classic is fully hacked and optimized emulators are ported over to it?

@MrAsmodath 5 жыл бұрын

While the CPU in the Classic is ever so slightly more powerful then the one in the Pi 3 B+, the community and software support is lightyears beyond what it will ever be on the PS Classic board. I do agree that while it is a cool project, it's not a sound financial choice. Great video though.

@oh-totoro 5 жыл бұрын

The PS1 Classic runs at 1.3Ghz, the Pi is 1.4Ghz. The PS1 Classic uses DDR3, whereas the Pi uses DDR2. They are pretty much the same power, except for the fact that the Pi has huge benefits like bluetooth, wifi/ethernet, a mircoSD card slot for much greater onboard storage, 4 USB ports (if you want to connect even larger external drives). The PS1 Classic is pretty handicapped and requires having to take up the second controller port if you want to use external drives (meaning no multiplayer). Plus, as Asmod TEK mentioned, the support for the Pi is lightyears ahead of the PS1 Classic - and will always be.

@jc_dogen 5 жыл бұрын

@cad80 24 That would still mean the Pi is slightly faster if true, the A35 in the classic is slower per clock than the A53 in the Pi 3. I believe the PS Classic GPU is slightly faster, but not significantly at all.

When you cut the board, I thought that this will be some tutorial parody or a symbol of how big BS was Sony's approach to the retro console market (well, actually that part might be true). Never knew that you can recycle a dead PCB like that. Which proves that the *Right to Repair* movement should be officially recognized worldwide, considering how much e-waste could be saved in similar ways. Also, nice project! This was an entertaining and very educational video.

Just got the PS1 Classic for 35 bucks the other day. It's adorable. And the controllers are WAY more comfortable that I remember the OG skinny boy controllers ever being. I even have zero complaints about the game selection (well, all but Super Puzzle Fighter. That game is on goddamned EVERYTHING. Its slot would have been better suited to something else) It's just.....missing SO. MANY. GAMES. I have over 90 on my 3b right now, with many more to be converted from PBP files and put on there. Well, if I'm gonna put that many PS1 games on it, it needs to not be in the Super Kuma 9000 case it resides in currently. And hell, I've been meaning to find a reason to buy a 3b+. So, not only did your video confirm my suspicion that a diet Pi3 would fit in the case, buy also that the console power/reset and eject buttons could be utilized. I just never imagined it could be done with such finesse. Such gusto. Such goddamned perfection. I thank you Sir. From the bottom of my geeky little heart. You are proof that not all heroes wear capes. Unless you do actually wear a cape. In which case I would say only the BEST heroes wear capes.

This is dope! I preordered my ps classic and never opened it. Its sitting in my closet. I've already used a raspberry pi before so I may try this out!

I did it, it took me a bit longer but I did it my ps1 classic is now raspberry pi 3 powered 🎉🎉

This makes me want to go buy a second PS Classic, and a second raspberry pi to do this... I already have one of each, and it's just me I want to keep one of each stock :p But yeah, this is awesome!

Too bad most people dont know how to solder and mod their own. Great instructional video man.

This is a Great tutorial not just for do it a PS One Classic, I think is a little bit worthless, but is a perfect project to practice for people studying Electronics or Computer Science Electronics. Is a little bit challenging for beginners. I like that.

Yeah you could do something similar to create your own ”console” inside any kind of shell.

For those who don't understand why folks are questioning the use of the PS Classic board, think of it this way: Imagine you want to install a Pi in an arcade cabinet for MAME. This would be the equivalent of chopping up the original arcade motherboard for power and button input. When you can simply run the buttons and 5V power input directly into the Pi, there's absolutely no reason to butcher the original board. Granted, the PS Classic doesn't have the same kind of value as an old arcade motherboard, but it's the same principle. It's a bit more work than necessary, and it's WAAAAAY more destructive than necessary.

well, you either re-use the ports on the old board to make the fitment as perfect as possible, or you spend more time on making your own ports and end up tossing the old PSC board i think i know which solution i prefer

@HiroPlaysGames 5 жыл бұрын

@@Syddy_ You prefer literally taking a saw to the old board, cutting its power traces, and individually soldering wires between the old board and the pi? Instead of simply plugging in small cables and securing them in place, just like he did with the HDMI port? You don't have to "make your own ports." It takes more time and effort to re-use the ports on the old board.

Sad part is he couldve order a single usb ports and buttons from digikey/mouser for under $10. Then used a female micro usb to take the 5V in...

@Syddy_ 5 жыл бұрын

i'd prefer the extra weight and the original ports from the old board, the board is trash on its own anyway

Now you need to hook up a USB based card reader to the memory card slots. That would be awesome. Even if it was only for MicroSD and not an actual memory card.
