Building a Better PlayStation Classic Console
Вставка
- Опубліковано 27 сер 2024
- Much as I like the idea of the Sony PS1 Classic mini console, I was let down by the game selection and overall features. So let's assemble an alternative using a Raspberry Pi and a 3D printed case, no firmware hack required! Build section begins at 01:51 in the video.

#LGR #PS1 #Build
As with any project like this there are _tons_ of variations in terms of parts, software, and execution to play with. Let me know what you'd do differently, I'm sure we can collectively come up with something far better!
Also, I'm looking into getting a nice 3D printer in the future since I'd love to try making my own case. Would appreciate suggestions.
For menu game artwork and details, I humbly recommend my own game scraper called Skyscraper. It's in the official RetroPie-Setup menu under the Experimental packages (scroll to the bottom). It can do all sorts of crazy things. I personally prefer to install it using the method described at the github page, but as it is now available officially in the menu, some prefer that method. Either way, here's the github page: github.com/muldjord/skyscraper
And here's a video showing the Skyscraper compositor in action: ua-cam.com/video/TIDD8EFSz50/v-deo.html
Hey Clint, I highly Recommend Lulzbot. They are an American made brand from Colorado (shout out to my home state!) and they are pretty much one of the best for Pro-sumer/Professional printers. We have a Tazbot Mini, and it is freaking awesome. You're looking at around 1500, but for quality and dependability, they're worth it.
Original Prusa i3 MK3
I would recommend going with a case from Retroflag there a bit bigger coming in around the same size as the nes and snes classic (they even look like them) but they look and feel great.
I also have my games loaded on to a external flash drive rather than the sd card this makes transfer a little easier and allows for simpler upgrades down the line in I run out of space.
@@user-ro1cc8tz6d That's true, and they can print their own parts!
that PS starting sound
without reverb filter and resampling
just imagine listening to it with a subwoofer..
Brings back memories, gave me goosebumps. So damn cool.
It's the best out of any console I've heard.
How many years later and I still hummed along with perfect timing
I would love to see an updated version of this project
The console is smaller then the goddamn power adapter.
Use 2.5A output power bank or if you have PI 4 then 3.0A
420th like ;D
wowowowowowowowowowowowowowowoowow
The thought of a Raspberry Pi Cosplaying is the best.
Thank you for the ♥️ and idea, LGR!
We'll now see cosplayers cosplaying as Raspberry Pis cosplaying as PS1s
That pretty much describes the whole classic console trend in general.
I mean... I didn't even know what a raspberry pi was, before watching this... So not sure how many people would realize it's not just a ps1
Does this case make my rear port look big?
Low-res, unfiltered textures? Affline warping? Blocky edges with absolutely no anti-aliasing?
Ahhhhhhh, it's a like a *warm, jagged blanket of retro nostalgia. I love it.
Wam?
*warm
@@theflano23 yup, detotated wam.
Me and my dad played the heck out of the PS1, and I was beyond excited to get him the PlayStation classic for Christmas this year. That being said, the disappointment was even stronger. You got me back to that original excitement, and he'll be able to play things from his childhood too after I get everything set up! Thanks LGR!
damn dude how young is your dad?
Emraal Play station came out in 95....
Yeah, I'm only 22. My dad was barely 18 when I was born. It happens. He grew up with an Atari, and a NES later on. Both second hand. He got the PlayStation the year it came out, and I was born the next year. That was the last time he baught a console for himself, and fell away from gaming as he became a dad. The retropie machine I threw together for him was a huge success though. He loves it, and we play the multiplayer games from my very early childhood whenever I visit. And I hear he's just as good at dig dug and qbert as he used to be.
@@Teh1337Spy that's great dude! you're such an awesome son!
I feel old
the fact that you still use windows XP ( despite MS efforts to make us use Win 10 ) just make me like you even more
windows 10 is basically an advertisement
Yurii Windows 10 is most secure and up to date tho
@@Yolwoocle Secure is a good point, but with updates breaking everything, I would rather stay "out of date"
Also the UI in Windows 10 is trash.
@@LowSpecEverything I mean, I admit it has bugs, but I would say it's better than staying on windows xp.
@@Yolwoocle ikr
If only we had a choice...
Fun fact: Raspberry Pi 3B is actually faster than PlayStation Classic. The former features quad core A53 while the later comes with the much slower A35 cores.
Owww man, why people insist in buying something like that...I mean, I know these official retro consoles are what it says on the thin (being official, and only nintendo giving a damn about them). But you could make something even better, you know?
@@KORUPTable An even better choice tbh, most phones today are usually more powerful than pc's a decade+- old. I still had to see a perfect working version of dolphin and pcsx2 (dolphin already seems capable of such task at the very least).
@mamamia88 Sad but true. Even if it's not that hard, people still want something that they just plug in the screen and had a big logo of how official the thing is, even if the company has no love for the thing they build.
@@silverloto6773 I dont get why you are hating on the consumers of such a product? Not everybody cares about computer hardware or building their own emulators. In fact, most people just want to buy something that plugs in and plays games out of the box. And theres nothing wrong with that. They aren't "stupid", they just arent hobbyists like us. That's all.
@@MegaTechpc I have never said that they were stupid or anything like that. The things is, like the first comment said the cpu of this model of raspberry pi it's faster than the one on the playstation classic, so if someone make their own retro console (as shown in the video) they could perfom other task aside from emulating PS1 titles, such as running an OS, running an frontend arcade os (retropie) to emulate dreamcast and other systems. I never hate on anything, like I said above, nintendo does care for their retro systems (there was a note from devs greeting everyone who hack their system and upload their roms to the console), and even if sony did fail in some aspects with the PS1 Classic (the number of games it came, and not giving some of their best games, even obscure ones with large following, what they deserve. And we yet to see how to add isos to the console), they could surely make it better with enough time and more research. Again, I just love games and almost any console along with pc games (even retro pc and D.O.S games/machines).
LGR Station 1 is way better than the official one
need wood grain
Was gonna the same thing except it needs to have some woodgrain on it which someone also mentioned
Bryce McKenzie I call this the LGR Station Superior Edition (there is only one edition of the LGR Station, but it is inherently superior to Sony's cheap bargain-bin PlayStation Classic.
But a LGR Station Woodgrain Edition would be nice
This is actually more powerful than the console sony made, both the original and the remake

@Neptune X12 Nah
I love that sony didnt make their own emulator, they just used someone elses
Reminds me of Square Enix, who used a fan Mod of FF7 HD remaster as if it was their own.
Why would they bother building one when they couldn’t be bothered to make region specific systems
Bradley Pearl never owned one so I couldn’t tell you
Bradley Pearl just thought of it I’ve never even owned a tv not made by Sony
@@bradleypearl2986 You're the only fanboy here, bro. This isnt about what platform is better. Sony stole someone elses creation and made money from it. That's fucking piracy dude. A mutli billion dollar company pirated an emulated made by some guy joe normalson
I love that you're using Windows XP and the Media Center "Royale Blue" theme. I used to always go out of my way to install the theme on Windows XP Home and Professional.
How does one add this theme?
@@Bryanbobber I usually found it by Googling "Royale Blue XP" and following the Softpedia link. It comes as an "install shield" setup-like application. It doesn't install any programs or additional software, but after installing it, the theme is available from the dropdown.
As much as I love Royale Blue, nothing can beat Zune theme (Orange and Black) for XP :D
It's especially essential for me as my main XP machine was actually MCE 2005. Oh, such beauty...
I personally really enjoy the Royale Noir theme. If you don't know what that is, look it up! I'm sure you'll enjoy it as well
Just imagine in 10 -15 years people doing this to a ps4 awesome
More like 20+, you don't see any Gamecube or ps2 classic. Maybe in 10 years we'll have a ps3 or xbox 360 classic.
Jorge Szabo yeah u prob right lol still even on ps3 or 360 gonna be cool as hell bro 😎
@@JatinderSingh93UK mw2 or cod4 on the classic with xbox live? thatd be rad
Young Gsef that would be killer bro just gotta wait 15 years hopefully my time machine gonna be completed soon gonna trippy as hell 🤜🙃
And....
Others will be playing with hologram 3d games 😂🤣
The ps1 classic went down to 30 dollars at my local walmart so im going to use it as a case and wire the power and reset button to the board so they function still
That's a great idea, the case is probably the best hing about the ps1 classic lol.
I would suggest checking Amazon first. I got a really nice SNES case with heat sink and fan
The internals aren’t bad either. Really, you only need to change the software (with something like AutoBleem).
@Neptune X12 did you get fired from a warehouse job recently?
i have blackbox.its not xbox,but its blackbox so it can run all not just nes snes sega c64 psx wii,but all LOL
I just want to give a thanks to all community specially the people who where involved in making all of this and made all of this acceptable to the public. Words cannot explain the joy you guys have brought to me using your software/emulations. Thank you.
i hope that 3d printer person has improved their 3d printer skills since then.
or the boring design XD sorry to say this, but i like my design better XD thingiverse.com/thing:3258998
Right? I have a modified cheap anet a8 (less then $200) and I get much better prints then this. Dat elephants foot though
@@Rune2650 Can you put up a picture of it printed out please?
im still trying to make my diy 3d printer to work XD since my printrbot and geeetech 3d printer dint work anymore, but one guy made a make and published it to thingiverse, it is from my version 4 of this case, but should still provide 95% the same look and idea of how it is :P www.thingiverse.com/make:429990
@@Rune2650 I like it, though I think it's missing some vents.
Also known as: "LGR makes a better job than Sony".
Sony probably gave the "PlayStation Classic" project to a new employee who knows nothing about consoles or the PlayStation because he originally applied as Security Guard, at Sony!
@@Zorander. Then again, Sony has a nasty habit of shooting themselves in the foot.
Hardly, this case looks terrible. I bet the heat dissipation is really bad as well, the heat sink must nearly be touching the top of the case. Kintaro are making a Playstation case for the raspberry pi in the future if anyone's interested, Would look a hell of a lot better than this...
@@Mdgr_zolom I noticed that too, but I actually got interested in this build unlike the piece of shit inside a nice looking plastic that Sony did.
Of course I would rather get a better case and a better heating solution if I got one myself, but I still think what he did is still better than the piece of crap Sony did.
@@Vitz_atelier I have both the ps classic and a few pi's. It really isn't that bad, have you got one?
I built a retro console raspberry pi system just recently. 3+ model used with the Kintaro 9000 case which looks just like an SNES with functioning power and reset sliders. Totally sweet! Project turned out great. Got it loaded up with all the major consoles from NES to PS1. Even got some PC ports like Doom and Duke3D on there but still haven't got the controls mapped to the controller I'm using. Still a work in progress but great fun. Love your build and your videos, Clint. Take care.
"Then I saw the lukewarm preview coverage of the PlayStation Classic in November 2018 and my disappointment was palpable."
PALpable.
At least I'm aussie, so, I'm fine with PAL
This is what the PlayStation classic should’ve been! More games, better controllers, and cheaper!
you need to buy two dual shock if you don't have a ps, so it's not cheaper for everyone
marvin andia I have those DualShock controllers.
The Cando Railfan it makes the whole PlayStation classic look redundant, since most of those games can be downloaded, and I can find better PS1 games to play.
@@TheCandoRailfan lol nope
@@Markimark151
YOU can find better, but that doesn't mean you CAN download them legally. Dump them, buy them officially (PSClassic or on SONY's new consoles). Or, from the internet, but that's illegal. I am sure sometime you will be screwed for pirating those games. "THEY'RE OLD" isn't an argument, they're still awesome and still far cheaper then they were. NESClassic - one game is 60 bucks in USA when it was on original NES, 60 bucks is original NES Classic price, 30 games, 2$ per game. SNESClassic - 4$ per game and PSClassic - 5$ per game.
Nice vid. I've been thinking about doing something like this for awhile, but I've been too lazy to look up guides to see how involved it is. Now that I see how simple and inexpensive it is, I'm sold.
Same. I always was scared about such a project but this looks pretty easy. ^^
Try it guys its really not hard and you have up to date guides everywhere. Also its a really cheap project for what you get!
It sold me too, for certain. I have an old MAME cabinet I set up almost 10 years ago. It struggles on anything less retro than 16-bit games and is the size of a VCR.
This, a total setup of $100 that can play 64-bit games and sized to a deck of cards? And no countless hours of manual modification needed? Definitely time to upgrade!
I bought a Pi 3 after receiving a gift card to some store, and boy, is that little board versatile. After toying around, it became my retro game machine since RetroPie is so simple and well documented. I did install the Pixel desktop, fiddled around with webcam surveillance things, using it as a web server after RetroPie was installed, though.
I love how he’s running Windows XP
Xp rules
i'm going to make one of these for my roommate... she had a PS1 years ago and misses it, so this would be an awesome gift for her

Long live emulation! also a shout out for piracy for preservation of videogames.
Emulation keeps games alive fr
It’s crazy that we literally need to make an effort to preserve these games. Like as if they’re books and an empire is attempting to burn all knowledge.
Sometimes I'll get nostalgic and remember an old game I used to play and have to find it on my phone to figure out the name. Bejng able to find them and play them within minutes is amazing. I hope emulation never dies
Preserving old games isn't really piracy, in my opinion.
@Charles Lee Ray Try RetroArch. It has a mobile app and works great
I watched a PlayStation Classic review literally an hour ago. When I heard how underwhelming it is, my first thought was how long it will take before someone makes a better, custom version using a Raspberry Pi.
Well, that was fast.
Literally -5 months.
People have been selling them for ages.
@@TheTurnipKing
Well, our pal (hehe, PAL) LGR here said that he put his together in June 2017, so that would be around -18 months. So yeah, even better.
PS. While on the topic of PSX, your nickname makes me wanna play Harvest Moon: Back to Nature :3
That can be said about any of those gimmicky ass "mini" consoles nintendo and other companies have released. Way better stuff can be made/bought for about the same money, in fact, for the price of one of those machines you can build one that runs all of those systems and more.
@@carl.j917 The only reproduction consoles worthwhile are the ones that can use cartridges, and only some of them. The ATGames Genesis has 80 games and a cartridge slot and is cheaper than these minis.
LairdDeimos But the audio is goddamn horrible
Sony should have made a PS2 Classic, mainly since it still can't be smoothly emulated and it can run PS1.
I really don't get the point ? Sony would sell much more by making two separate consoles.
Also, since they'd need to emulate two different hardwares AND to get games for both, the cost would've been much higher.
@@alexhardline2208 The PS2 could run PS1 games.
No need for two separate hardware.
but that would've required effort
Ps2s are cheap now themselves ( and can do a ton of emulation )
Pcxs2 runs all games at 60 fps
lol, love the Win XP system.
1 million subscribers? Wow, congratulations!!! Nice ps1 video.
Hi
@@Djanbari Hi there
Probably gonna find a lot of "Playstation Classic" consoles at Goodwill next year. Right next to the dollar store stuff.
then you can get one and use its case for a retropie. boom instant perfect case
I'm not sure it'll be that dire, but I certainly don't feel that it had the same cachet as the mini NES and SNES
Yeah, it's more likely that they're gonna be in used video game stores and pawn shops and stuff at like $30 for the next ten years. Point is still valid though!
@Shaman X Hi to low tier god for me
Maybe if it's a dollar, then I'll consider the PlayStation Classic. :P
the ps classic is now 26 bucks.
bleem sync and retro arch are easy enough to get going.
I nabbed one at Best Buy for like $15.00 a few months ago. Guess they wanted to get rid of it.
I ordered the Pi 3 A+ today because of this video.
Equal to or less than the Psone classic, plus you learn something...
Hmmm and limitless games...essentially, so...yeah.
But proto theres no pokemon on PlayStation
@@grimwolf5948 But you can just stick a Gameboy emulator in and play it on the same box. Using your preferred controller. ;)
@@SoanosBarcoded you got me every time I see protomario out side of his channel I always say but proto!
If just to play single player.. They is a alternative that more easier.. Buy cheap android tv box 16Gb, buy cheap Bluetooth controller/using ps4 controller, download epsxe emulator, and ps1 games data.. Whalla.. You can enjoy it.. But, the problem is, you cannot pair multi controller, as psx classic can play for 2 player..

I can't believe how pixelated the PS1graphics used to be. That's insane that we 90s kids totally put up with that back in those days. haha! I feel old lol.
Of course, seeing it in a capture device, on a television directly watching it, they are not bad at all
Man I Love PS.1 so much.😎👍
That Playstation Sound when it Starts,
Always gets me, you know?.😉👌
Hearing and seeing that Need for Speed game brought back memories of waking up at too damn early o clock and realizing my mom is playing need for speed before I had school in the morning. I realize she literally stayed up all night to play it and she later told me that she intentionally lost the disc so she won't play it anymore. I didn't care since I didn't like racing games [it came with a bundle for the playstation] but still good memories. Good video dude.

Man, these LGR vids are so good and relaxing. Thanks for making all these quality content! You really are a beam of happyness that's much needed in my life :)
Sending this vid back in time would blow peoples minds
The irony of the Raspberry Playstation being smaller than the NES Classic or the PS classic, is of course that the Pi has better hardware for less money. So it's smaller, cheaper, better, more powerful, and can run desktop linux if you ever get bored of the emulation.. Hmmm,, what to pick i wonder. :D
Such an excellent, excellent channel. Great production, pacing and information. Thank you for being so consistent.
Thanks to this video there is now one of these sat under my TV. Took a few hours to get everything up and running and to figure everything out, but I'm chuffed to bits with it. I decided to go with a Mega drive clone case for mine as it'll always be one of my favourite consoles to have come out. If only I could have found a decent Dreamcast one...
5:20 OMG WINDOWS XP, I miss it so much!
It boggles my mind why they didn't repurpose the PSTV hardware for the official Classic. The emulation is way better being their own in house solution and Sony already had the hardware and tooling available. They could've slapped it in a new case, changed the UI, and manage to revive a recently discontinued product easily. Not to mention it'd have the added bonus of being connected to the PSN store to allow for purchasing more PS1 titles.
See, that would require both a)Sony to be run by competent people and b)acknowledging the existence of a console they went out of their way to bury.
I expected woodgrain. I'm disappoint.
I'm joking. Great video, as usually!
Speaking of woodgrain, I just realized how beat up his table has gotten :( I wonder if we can all convince him to give it a good sanding and a fresh coat of lacquer, because it seems like a nice table and deserves a little TLC after being such a champ in all these vids over the years.
That would've been a "PItari 2600", also probably much better than the real "Atari Flashback" made a while ago (I want to bet someone else out there have already done one or several of them...
Thanks for the idea, i've just got my Pi today, looking forward to install Retropie and spend most of the christmas vacation with my childhood PS1 games.
alone the fact that platforms like the raspberry pi exist is just amazing and to see what projects people can come up with is almost greater than the platform itself
4:50 Windows XP? PS1 build? S W E E T .
The PS1 had too many good games to only have 20 on the ps1 classic.
I have a raspberry pi I used to play mainly ps, NES, gba and n64 as well. Great nostalgia and incredibly power efficient stuff
Its techincally 19 games since Rainbox Six is completely unplayable without the analog sticks
Ah its 4 years later
So my sister ex had the offical PS1 remake. Ive had an original for awhile now.
When I saw him playing on it I asked if it could run Gran Turismo, he showed me the very sad collection of 20 games.
He later gifted it to my brother before my sister and him broke up. In response he took it back and my brother was a tad bit upset.
Instead of buying one I did the same thing you did but used a Cafe Panda and put in PSP, Vita and PS1 games on there. My brother was thrilled, when his friends came over it was all they played.
love watching your videos LGR you keep it interesting all the way through. I don't get bored to the point where I start skipping through stuff and I think a lot of people can agree on that.
Anyone else remember getting scared when someone started a PlayStation with high volume?
Never, I always jammed out with it.
I would forget I left the volume on max then jump scare myself the next time I played. =P
Specially when everybody was sleeping at home and you wanted to play stealthily... :v
Scared or not, the ps intro made you feel like the future was here. It's something special that is etched deep within our minds.
What about the PS2 start up sound
Hmm, WIndows XP with the Royale theme.
A fine choice
😙
As God intended
Fits the theme of "retro" at least
Zzyzx Wolfe really bad idea to be running XP on the Internet now...
It impresses me that just a fan or someone that knows a bit of tech can make a more amazing product then most millionaire companies. Power to the people!
Because a fan doesn't have to deal with licensing fees, mass production cost, and profit margins. He's ripping illegally downloaded software and only making a single one for himself. The PS Classic is still shit, but let's not act like there is a level playing field here.
I think you mean billionaire company my friend
@@vash_visionz the only thing that might be illegally downloaded are the rom files and it's entirely possible he legally owns the ones he used. Not very likely, but possible. Your point is entirely valid however. It's only to avoid breaking the law that these are not being made commercially. Except in China, where do what thou whilst is the whole of the law.
well I think this wouldnt be possible without the great open source community and ofc the raspberry pi foundation, so you should probably be impressed by them ;)
@@pstrap1311 "it's entirely possible he legally owns the ones he used. Not very likely, but possible."
It's EXTREMELY likely. Have you seen his collection? Have you seen a single review on this channel?
I get so few opportunities to use this word that tiny PS1 is adorable.
I did a similar thing before the SNES classic came out. Got a 3D printed SNES case but I use it for many other retro systems as well.
I loved the Windows XP cameo!
You have written when building starts in description and it is pretty visible.
Subscribed.
*When you break the fourth wall, these are the results*
It would be cool if any third-party company sells a specialized PS1 classic shell for Raspberry Pi with working buttons and USB ports connected with the Pi hardware.
Thanks for the video, Clint
Just buy a dead ps1, take all the guts out and you have your case
Well, although they don't yet have a PS model yet, Retroflag does have well made and good looking cases shaped as NES, SNES, SFC, and Mega Drive/Genesis.
They even have router cards on the inside for proper I/O placement and function on each model case.
They have a website, and sell trough Amazon.
retroflag.com/
I will get two of them soon, the SFC and the Mega Drive, but more for the fun factor of having a fairly inexpensive system, being able to separate the games from both Nintendo and Sega home consoles and portables, lodged in their respective look-a-like cases.
For more serious and varied emulation, i'll go the Nvidia Shield route.
It's a well polished product, and a heck of a lot more powerful for emulation.
@@00Resev Wow, thanks for the info.
i've just recently been bought a ps1 from a charity shop for christmas
The ps classic doesnt come with spyro or crash, absolutely no deal they were my first games I ever played on the ps1 or any console. Thank you for showing me this and I will make my own ps1 classic case how I remember mine
My laptop is my Retroarch machine. I love that sucker. And the achievement integration into retro games is absolutely amazing.
I love my raspberry pi! I already have it loaded with tons of games from atari to playstation. I also got video clips and box arts for the games even got a custom theme on. I plan on getting the mega drive pi case that has a functional led and power switch. Right now I use the nes pi case from retroflag that has a power switch and led.
You'll love the MEGAPI case. It's really nice. Highly recommend it. The SNES retroflag case is good to. Very identical to the SNES classic mold
7:50 OMG NFS3. Man, I loved that game...
It seems stressful but DO IT. PlayStation Classic isn't that good, make your own thing and do it right. You'll be tired, you'll probably screw up the parts a little if you're new to building things, but in the end you'll get it working and it'll be much better than the Classic. Myself, I love emulating on PC. I don't know about PS1 emulators, but for PS2 emulation on my PC I can increase the resolution of the textures and go nuts, and people always comment "Damn how does your PS2 look so fancy?" =P
Yes, but I feel more seeing Tomb Raider, man that was times when games had such a great atmosphere that no one cared about the some hundret huge pixels the games was made of and Tomb Raider was one of the best, but PS had really bad graphics, on PC NFS looked ways better
16:9 patches and increased rendering resolution in PCSX2 is amazing.
Oh yeah there is certainly good pc emulation for ps1 on pc. epsxe can make things look smoother and sharper. Never liked retroarch emulators and interface, I prefer just having emulators standalone.
@@yellowcrash10 ..But..PCSX2 doesn't have Ps1 compatibility....unless you're talking about PCSXR-PGXR
AGT I was referring to the last sentence of OP's comment.
This is so cool dude! I'm tempted to try it myself!
A nice little project.
Well done Clint. 👍👍👍
That makes me want to build something similar.
I've never done any Raspberry Pi project before, so it's gonna be a journey.
Thanks from the motivation boost man. 😃
look at all those happy little polygons
I was reading up on Dino Crisis the other day and found out the Tyrannosaurus was made out of 500 (count 'em, 500!) polygons. I remember being a little kid and thinking it was amazing.
If you're gonna try a project like this, use a Pi 3B+ (PLUS) rather than a 3B. They run faster by default and may not even need a heatsink due to the integrated metal heat spreader, better 5Ghz Wi-Fi and gigabit ethernet built in, come with a header for Power over Ethernet (PoE), and cost exactly the same price. What's not to love?
If tight space and lower power are important then you might consider the Pi 3A+. It should be the same speed as the 3B+ in terms of emulation but it's quite a lot smaller, $10 cheaper, uses less power than even the 3B and has less ports. Of course if you want to go even further there's the Pi Zero, but that is going to struggle emulating the PS1...
Pi Zero is a fine avenue for NES, Game boy and other less demanding systems. Microcenter sometimes has a sale where you can get a pi zero for a dollar. Pretty sweet deal
does the PoE give enough power for PS1 emulation?
Any news about the Raspberry Pi 4 coming out?
Can you use the same power adapter?
There is an optional emulator under the retroarch settings, and it emulates ps1 on pi zero very nice. I usually play my ps1 games on my pi zero with that emulator. The only problem is, it's not working with bluetooth xbox one controller.
details remake of the classic..good work
I have done the same thing using a Android TV Box based in a S805 Soc.
same :) plus it plays everything else too!
I bought the PlayStation Classic, then I modded it to play all the Tony Hawk's Pro Skater games. I'm happy now.
Idk about any of the other people watching this channel, and i realize he said he ordered the rasberry pi, but him and the people who created the pi ended up creating something that, to me, is really freaking cool and it astounds me that people can make things like this when i still dont understand how to get my medieval 2 to run without lag.
Thank you for letting the PS1 start up play all the way through, you the real MVP.
Many thanks to you! I ordered all my parts today. Can't wait to try this out.
I'm one of the biggest playstation fans out there and the PS1 is at least on my TOP 3 favourite consoles of all time, but the way Sony handled the PS1 Classic Mini felt honestly downright insulting. That was honestly almost as awful as what they did to the PS Vita. So much potential and then they fuck it up. Goddamn it.
They are *selling* a 3D printed case with the official playstation logo on it? That'll last all of four minutes until they get sued for trademark infringement.
For now it seems to be fine. Just wait until companies like Nintendo notice. Lawsuits will rain like fire from the heavens.
Sounds like the company is selling the 3D printing process, he just supplied the plans for the case in which he got from someone else.
This convinced me to do all of the things you did but I had such a bad experience that it led me to retro game collecting for real and I bought a CRT. It made it all worth it. Thank you.
Although, I do think doing this with a cheap refurbished small PC with the Lakka OS is a whole heck of a lot easier and better.
Literally just ordered a pi model 3 b+ kit and in the process of gutting an old non-functioning original playstation :) cheers
Keep up retro stuff tech stuff. Thank you so much for what you create, you do so great at it. The thrift videos of spotlighting the tech seen their :) thank you .
theres also LibreElec Reborn Remix which mixes Kodi+ Emulationstation with RetroArch right into Kodi's Confluence Default Skin. for an all in one and RetroPie is perfect on its own for pure gaming w/o any additional focus for media. LE-Reborn Remix is just kinda Retropie w/ the added goodie of Kodi 18and netflix plugin compatability :3 but if anyone gets the 3B+ for this? try to look for a heatsink and fan solution and a 3Amp USB psu is a must over a 2.5Amp USB psu
or you can graduate from elementary school, leave the Raspberry Pi, and pick up either an Odroid XU4 or Shield TV :-)
Damn bruv, I gotta look that shit up! I've just been using berryboot but you can't select options with a controller.
its more for aesthetic reasons, but you can get a resin or acrylic for the 3d printed case, if its unpainted of course, and from there drill small holes for lights, or small fan like i have for my pi, and then buff and paint. it'll look smooth, and wont have any structural issues, plus it'll run waaaaaay cooler with a small fan
I got inspired by you and made one myself using the steps you've mentioned.
Needless to say, I have been having a lot of fun playing it since then (apart from a few headache configuring the XBox 360 controller to PS1 controls).
Thanks for the steps, LGR!. :)
Always wanted a Pi, but never knew what I wanted it to use it for. I have a bunch of games but no console, I guess I could make files out of these discs and try this in a near future, gonna save video for later.
I think when my PS1 and PS2 die I will build one myself. My PS3 can't handle pre 1997 games like the original Tomb Raider.
this is amazing, and of course, you tested Need For Speed.. I miss the days when NFS was actually a good game.
nfs iii is still the best
@@cannonnichols7329 sadly no nfs 2015 was a massive deception, payback wasn´t any better
@@kylo-juju3796 Carbon was the last ''decent'' NFS, the last REAL NFS was Hot pursuit 2 on the PS2 (the Xbox,Game Cube& PC version is awful)
@@Jonathan11225 yeah tbh i liked hot pursuit 2010 and rivals, even if they weren´t as good as the classic ones XD but those two there´s no other nfs game from nowadays that can be considered good, and tbh i don´t know what they were trying with the run, but i´m pretty sure they failed XD
I remember a need for speed that was more like grand theft auto but without the guns. I don't remember what it was called but it was probably my favourite as it wasn't just racing but you could also just explore
I know this late and my third comment on this video already but I want to say thank you, LGR, I am having lots of fun with my RetroPie system and your video along ETA Prime's video has helped me pick out the right parts for my old-school gaming needs. Thank you.
Welp, this is definitely now on the to do list. Thanks LGR, and Great Video
To be honest I just stuck abunch of emulators on my android phone, had them load roms off an sdcard and bluetooth a controller.
It's not as customisable or crisp as a raspberry pi, but it gets the job done. Although still working on the tv display and a good analogue controller.

Instead of making a 'mini' case, just buy a broken PS1 and use a real gutted PSX shell. It's gonna look much better anyway.
That's exactly what I did. I also bought a PS controller-to-usb adapter and soldered the pins to the original PlayStation's controller ports so I can use original controllers. Even further, I tapped off the PlayStation's original power supply (which wasn't broken) and routed that straight to the Pi3 (so I can use an original power cable). And finally, wired the power LED to work properly and the reset button to actually reset the Pi3. All said, my PlayStation Classic is about as authentic as a retro console gets :)
@@HawaiianKong That's actually... incredibly impressive. I would love to see a video of that.
@@TheCandoRailfan Then just wait a month until Goodwill will be full of unsold PlayStation Classics that nobody wanted and then gut them and put a RetroPi inside. :P
There aren't that many broken PS1s. Those things are hard to kill (except broken lasers), unless you throw it at the wall few times.
@@HawaiianKong I'd love to do something like that but also figure out how to connect the PS1's disc drive to the Pi. A system that plays PS1 games from iso *or* from disc, uses the original controllers, and also plays SNES, Genesis, and N64 (with limitations)? Yes please!
Edit: Although, if I decide to do this eventually and have the choice, I'd rather use the smaller, rounded PSOne model ( files.catbox.moe/42t0zk.png ) rather than the boxy original PSX.
Thats impressive stuff from Lazy Man
Bleeding edge add-on to retro-pi, they've added Steam Link compatibility, so you can also play your games from your gaming PC on your big screen from your couch.
5:28 good ol' xp
Hacking my PS Classic with BleemSync was fun, but adding games is quite a tedious process to do manually, and not every game is guaranteed to work.
The more I hear about Retropie, the more I'm starting to think this is the retro game solution for me!
I have my Raspberry Pie as well and I use it to play NES and Playstation games. I am happy with this tiny machine. :D
I'm mostly a pre-NES era gamer, but this video inspired me to upgrade my recently purchased 3B with a proper case, fan, and heatsinks and give the PSX emulation a go. It's works amazingly and perfectly recaptures that old PlayStation magic. Thanks for the suggestions.
I bought 2 playstation classics LOL. Just fot the playstation USB controllers. They work great on the Pi
But you're missing analog controls ! Should've used PS3 controllers.
@@alexhardline2208 why? Lol. I'm playing ps1 games. NOT ps3... smh. The playstation classics are worth it for the ps1 USB controllers... theres no need for analogs for a bunch of games that mostly just have digital to analog anyways
@@alexhardline2208 and I have ps3 controllers... why 'should i' use ps3 controllers?
@@lovelorn88nick If you already have a pair of working PS3 controllers what do you need the classic ones for. surely you could just use the d-pad on the ones you already got unless you're some fucking poser
you're essentially paying full price of admission not once but twice for just 25% of the total of your purchase because the classic release is already moddable. it just points toward you not being very intelligent at managing your money or just not very intelligent in general. hardly anything worth getting defensive over. unless you're too stubborn to recognize it, which would prove my second assumption as correct
@@lovelorn88nick PSX games such as Metal Gear Solid, Rainbow Six, Spyro the Dragon or Colony Wars use analog sticks, which feel much more accurate in 3D games than the D-pad. You're the stupid one here.
Plus, buying controllers that replicate those on the PSX when you already got PS3 controllers is fucking useless. They got the same button layout.
So yeah, you're pretty much a poser, nothing else.
Finally we can get more playthroughs of barbie games and some Mary Kate and Ashley
We're all eagerly awaiting those.
Yay! 🤗
I saw a glimpse of Persona 2 in the ISO loader... Clint is a man of culture.
I did this with the newer Pi3B+ and used a FLIRC case. The FLIRC case doubles a big heat sink and looks good too. The body of the case is aluminium and a post almost touches the processor, the supplied thermal pad takes up the slack. When in use the case changes from cold to touch to warm to touch and it looks good too.
