So I finally got me a used playstation at a good price, around 22 bucks, complete with cables and 2 controllers and one (shitty) game.What are the modding options cause X station seems to hard to mess up in soldering.
>>12923058what model playstation is it? You can do a psnee but xstation really is the best and it's not hard to install at all.
>>12923058arcstation
>>12923062I am not at home ATM.
>>12923058What revison?Xstation is THE best option rn. Just pay someone to install it.Arcstation costs a ton and is untested since it just came out. I'd wait for chink clones.PSIO is shit and to be avoided.Picostation has compatibility issues, some game just won't work (like motherfucking Silent Hill).
>>12923058>one (shitty) gameWhich one?>X station seems to hard to mess up in solderingYou sure know some guy that can do it for you, or at least some guy who knows a guy.If you don't want to mess around with soldering at all and are fine with burning discs instead of using a sd card, go look up Unirom. It's a softmod you install on a memorycard that basically acts like a modchip. Starting a game will take longer with it since you have to boot up the memcard before playing tho, but at least it's free and easy to install.
>>12923226What is he is trapped in shit hole Mexico per example? Can he even get X station in the first place?
>>12923226Mine it's a SCPH-7501, December 1998
>>12923761Rush down, booted yesterday I tried, but looks quite scratched and even has some apparent black dots on front, disc rotted maybe.
Isn't Krikzz making an ODE solder less option for PS1 that is literally meant to compete with Arcstation? Also where did you read Arcstation sucked?
>>12924001>Can he even get X station in the first place?Why not?>>12924012Check if it's the PU-18 motherboard. If not PU-18 (and it's surely not PU-8) then then Xstation and Picostation are out.
>>12924012Right now you can get a chink PSIO clone off aliexpress. You have to solder a chip on but it's easier than xstation.Or you wait for the inevitable chink arcstation clones to hit the market, that'll be around mid to late 2027.Or get into disc burning, but I wouldn't recommend that since it's too sweaty.
You're better off just emulating on the Wii even if emulation is just okay.
>>12923058sd card loading / odes are gay install a modchip and burn discs its way comfier and you will actually play games because you cant just put the entire library on one in 5 minutes
>>12925263Doesnt burned disc kill the laser within months?
>>12925445Burned discs are exactly the same shit as official hard pressed ones, they just don't have the ridges that the laser checks for authenticity. There's no reason that they would kill the laser but official ones wouldn't.
>>12925445Nah that's just a myth. They reflect slightly less light which may lead to a few reading errors making the drive re-read stuff a bit more often , but that's all.I've been mostly running burned discs in my PS since 2000 and it still werks.
>>12925140This is stupid ass advice
>>12925608how so?
>>12923058Just get a modchip
>>12927187just need to invest on a bluray burner drive, good luck with that
>>12928224>bluray burner ???
