Review on Sony PlayStation Classic game console, gray by Micha Borkowski ᠌

Has pros: Design, two gamepads of very good quality. Thanks to the efforts of other people, that long list of shortcomings is corrected in two minutes. Would you like to see other PS1 games there? Run them from USB. No 2D fighting games? When booting from a flash drive with Autobleem + Retrooboot, you can play original games from NeoGeo, CPS1-3 and so on. In general, Retroarch can emulate almost everything. Want DOS on PlayStation? - please, even a keyboard with a mouse will work. You should forget about Sega Saturn emulation right away, for this you need a slightly different hardware, 50 times more powerful. But a couple of dozen games from the Dreamcast will do just fine. And of course anything from 8-16bit consoles and computers. I strongly recommend buying an OTG cable with power for 90r and flashing the core with OTG support via BleemSync, it's very simple, and then BleemSync is not needed at all, Autobleem is much better. In general, Sony 5 points for the case and gamepads, three with a minus for some games and a lazy approach to emulation. For the current price, everything is fine even out of the box, for the price at the start - not at all. To the authors of BleemSync, Autobleem and Retroboot - a huge thank you for the work done, for which everything is so simple and clear. Its cons: Out of the box - a third of the games are strange. Yes, there are absolute hits like Tekken 3, Metal Gear Solid, Resident Evil, Wild Arms. There is Rayman, there is Abe, there is a very funny, albeit outdated already at the time of the release of Jumping Flash, there are just good games like Super Puzzle Figher II Turbo. But why Rainbow Six with Siphon Filter? Or like Intelligent Qube? - not the most beautiful and furiously difficult game from the very beginning, there are representatives of the genre stronger. Scrolling shooters and 2D fighting games are completely absent. From the word in general. That is, some genres are represented by three games, others - none. And who decided to take part of the games in the PAL region (they work slower), despite the fact that NTSC is perfectly emulated and works faster? Given that the games running at 50Hz, in my opinion, everything is only in English (the presence of other languages ​​\u200b\u200bwould justify that step). There is neither Spyro nor Crash Bandicoot - well, I do not believe that Sony would not have agreed on copyright if there are Konami, Namco, Ubisoft games on the list. The menu is very poor. The emulator settings are blocked, such as, for example, scanlines - yes, in several games from them, a strip on the right side of the screen, well, they would be turned off only in those games. In general, for the original price (let me remind you, it was $ 100), they could write and optimize the emulator themselves, and not just shove PCSX ReARMed as is. And the menu is more interesting, and put scans of instructions from games.
