PlayStation Classic Mini

I assume by the lack of posts, no one has got one then, or too busy enjoying it?

Looking on reddit, seems people are already starting to load their own games on to it.

You could do what I did?

1 x PSOne from ebay (Very clean example) - £10
1 x Raspberry Pi 3A  & power supply - £28
1 X 32GB Micro SD Card - £10
1 X £2 hdmi cable from Amazon

Ripped out the PSOne guts, put in the Pi, added Retopie (I had to do this via my 3B  Pi & move the card over, better 3A  version coming soon). For a pad I'm using a PlayStation 3 controller. Retropie (when updated) even has its own PSX Mini type theme included (very similar to the Mini version).

I now have around 60 USA & Japanese 60hz games on it, I can use analogue or digital sticks, everything runs smoothly at 60hz, it looks authentic & cost £40 less than the Sony version

what did you pay for the games? as its the games that account for most of the cost of the classic

IamMarcoos

Tanked to £50 just about everywhere for Boxing Day sales

£25 in some Tesco's apparently

Saw that also. But they tend to be a wild goose chase as store specific. My locals never have these deals

Might as well just get a Playstation 1 off eBay for cheaper. Plus it's big and the real thing unlike this imitator.

it would cost you alot more than £50 to buy the 20 games that are on the ps1 classic

Those 20 games...half of them aren't even any good! Only a few of those.

but they still cost money
