Retro gaming PS1 or PS2 recomendations

Yeah! If you're into the PS2 a guy on ebay sells a modded one with 1,000  PS2 and 1,000  PS1 games on it! But it isn't cheap! It's around $500 but your getting almost the whole PS1/PS2 game catalog.

I'm almost tempted to buy one myself when I have the extra money. I already have a regular PS2 with a few games but that would be awesome to have almost every game of those two eras that would cost thousands if bought separately.

You could get one of these, a 32gb Raspberry Pi 3B (with power supply) and then buy a prebuilt 32gb image download from ebay (just use the search term "32gb pi image"). Now just burn image to the card using Win32DiskImager  (free), insert, turn on, press some buttons on the controller & hey presto you have a multi use console

PS - Watch a  few You Tube ids if the above is confusing, its really quite easy though.

In case you're interested, the PS1 classic has already been cracked. Apparently it was stupidly easy too. Rumors are it was intentionally weak to allow for people to run the games that Sony couldn't get the licenses for.

Of course there's no way to prove that, but... the result is the same. If you are going down the route of retro gaming consoles anyway then it's something to consider.
