It would definitely be a good idea in concept. It's like Scott the Woz said in his N64 video. I had to agree as someone who had a PS and not an N64 as a kid. Chances are that N64 owners all played the same games, while PS owners all played different games. The games could've been better on the classic, sure, but you still wouldn't be able to please a large number of people. You could have a best of compilation with different genres, like platformers, racing, fighting etc. You'd have stuff like Crash, Spyro, Klonoa, even weaker ones like Gex on the platforming one. Bloody Roar and Tekken on the fighting ones, etc.

[@frankgile1996]

Two years ago on your 1st PS Classic video, my comment was: I think it would have been INCREDIBLE if they used the memory card slot to release Game Packs. Have 20 built into the console and release packs of 20 for $50 bucks or so. Then..on the "I feel dirty." video my comment was: One of the mods for the PS1 classic, which makes me want to get it, uses the 2nd USB slot for a thumb drive with 100+ games. If Sony had done this from the get go with the memory card slot, I'd have bought this on launch without hesitation. Not that the drive can be had for about $25 and the console for $20, I might pick one up. And honestly... if it weren't for their "trendy" naming convention, I'd probably buy these...

[@joefuentes2977]

What we need is proper hardware-based emulators (using FPGA/ASICs) to reproduce vintage HW. Similar to everdrive but for consoles. Also other people need to make better versions of everdrive that don't require donor HW. If we had both (and especially if everything was open source) the classic gaming community would be in a much better place and no one would need to consider trying bootleg crackhead products.

[@asherael]

i don't think any of the everdrive stuff still uses donor hardware. I know they used to for the n64, but that's a thing of the past now

The simply reason that PS Classic doesnt came with more games or a good selections of them, is bacause Sony have to pay for those license. That will make more expensive a mini console that we can easily modify through a usb pendrive by our owns.

I got one basically new secondhand earlier this year for $23,60. Box, manuals, hdmi cable and 2nd controller were still sealed and still are. Box is in good shape, still looking for a box protector, but shipping prices are through the roof. The emulation is even better if you mod it.

[@BuckleyDotCom]

I bought all the one's I could find off eBay (Meth, Crack, Weed, Fight, & Overdose) - and it was worth EVERY PENNY! The games play as they should and if you buy the usb cable adapter you can still use both front USB slots for the controllers as intended (it took some figuring out - but if it's done in the right sequence it works). I usually don't play 2 player games with others so I just use the front controller slot for the Meth/Crack USB sticks out of convinience. Thanks for the Video! :)

[@natetheshocker7547]

In an alternate universe: Sony released the PS1 classic with ~20 fantastic built-in games that ran well because of the very tiny amount of effort they put into the software and hardware (as opposed to none in our world) and reviews were great. They also installed an 8cm DVD drive (think GameCube) into the unit, making it into a full-blown disc-based console just like the original. 8cm DVDs can hold about 1.4GB, more than two CDs so capacity isn't a problem. This proves easy since the manufacturing base for 8cm drives, discs, cases etc. all still exists (albeit in limited scale). The system functions just like the original PS1, allowing you to boot directly to a disc that's inserted, but booting to a menu (with games) if you have no disc in the drive. The $100 price tag seems entirely reasonable considering its inclusion of a working disc drive and the overall package. Sony released a line of a dozen or so popular PS1 games on disc with proper jewel case and paperwork just like the original version; just shrunk down and with a price tag of $10-$15 each. Some folks just bought the unit, played the internal games, and slapped it on eBay having had their fill of nostalgia. Others bought a few additional discs of games they remember from their childhood. Idiots like me bought everything they had, resulting in empty store shelves around the world. It became the next big holiday item, like the NES and SNES classics before it. eBay was full of scalpers, people were standing in lines, someone's grandma got trampled to death at a Wal-Mart, all that good stuff. Sony realized they had a winner on their hands over the next couple years they continued to license and release new discs until interest slowly died down. Perhaps towards the end they release some USB drives with collections of games (Probably not named after drugs) to pull just a little more money out of the system before it quietly fades away. Seeing the absolute genius and success of the PlayStation Classic, other companies like Atari, Sega, and even Nintendo, will go on to release (or re-release) mini consoles with mini discs or cartridges available and we all go broke. Alas, it seems we live in the shit universe.

I'm not exactly super well informed on the subject, so someone feel free to correct me, but this type of stuff is amazing minus the naming convention. While piracy is, at the end of the day, illegal. People simply have no other choice to play some of their favorite classics, and it seems the only time a company publishes a port/remaster of these games, it seems poorly done and done in an attempt to garner brownie points. Sony seems especially stubborn when it comes to bringing classic games up, and I guess they're just the type to never look back. We live in a time of nostalgia more than ever, and even throwing it to PS Now would make me more inclined to subscribe to it.
