PSIO - "everdrive'as" PlayStation 1 konsolei (žaisti iš SD kortelių)

http://ps-io.com/

Panašu, kad sulaukėme "everdrive'o" (prilipo man šis pavadinimas kaip bendrinis) ir PS1 konsolei. Jungsis jis per Parallel I/O portą, kaip ir GameShark'as, o jame bus SD kortelė. Instaliacija neapsiriboja tik įstatymu į port'ą, reikia ir lituoti.

Kaina: 150 Australijos dol. kas išeina apie 98.85 EUR.

Na, RetroManai, pirksit?

What is PSIO?

• PSIO is simply a cartridge that plugs into your PlayStation 1's Parallel I/O Port (PIO). It will then let you play your software from an SD card on the console instead of the CD-ROM drive.

Is PSIO an emulator for PlayStation games?

• PSIO does not emulate PlayStation games. PSIO is an emulator of the CD-ROM co-processor (SUB-CPU). That being said, it is a hardware emulator, which, is almost identical to the original Sony CD-ROM MCU.

How much is a PSIO cartridge?

• $149.95 AUD.

How much is shipping?

• It is free, and included in the total cost mentioned above.

How do I select my games?

• A custom built menu system boots up each and every time you turn on your PlayStation, which is called the "PSIO Menu System". It runs on the PlayStation 1 directly and allows you to select and boot games from the SD card using the controller.

Can I boot my original PlayStation format CD-ROM's like normal when PSIO is plugged in?

• Yes, so long as the Switch Board has been installed (see below), there is an option in the Menu System to boot from the CD-ROM drive directly. Otherwise, you may unplug PSIO to return your PlayStation back to regular operation.

Will DUAL-SHOCK Vibration and Memory Cards work?

• Yes. All peripherals will work like normal when PSIO is running.

Will PlayStation 1 games run at their original speed when using PSIO?

• Yes. The PlayStation 1 Parallel Port can handle up to 3 megabytes per second on the system bus. The original CD-ROM (at 2x speed) could read at a maximum of 352 kilobytes per second, so there is plenty of bandwidth available.

Will the PlayStation 1 Power Supply Unit overload with PSIO?

• No.

What regions will PSIO work in?

• It will work in all regions. This includes PAL, NTSC-U/C and NTSC-J.

Do all games work on PSIO?

• Not all games will run, and we are unsure what ones will fail without testing of each and every PlayStation game title in its library. With that being said, usually we can fix the game problem with a firmware update if you let us know the exact problem. You may however see which games have been tested here.

What format should I backup my games as?

• We recommend that your CD-ROM discs are ripped 1:1, without any errors whatsoever, as a *.BIN and *.CUE format. Other formats you may use however are *.ISO and *.IMG.

I see that my game isn't listed in the 'Compatibility' page. Will it work with PSIO?

• Yes, your game should work with PSIO. If your game does not work, we will flag it and start to look into it.

My PlayStation 1 is a PAL system. Can I play NTSC-U/C or NTSC-J games on it?

• Yes, however you will need to play over RGB video output or else a modification to the PlayStation mainboard will be required in order to generate a colour picture. We will have more detailed information about this upon release and how you may perform the modification.

Are there any modifications required for PSIO to work?

• Yes. An internal modification is required. The modification is a small printed circuit board (PCB) with a logic gate array based integrated circuit (IC) that detects whether a PSIO cartridge is plugged in or not. More information may be found here.

I have a modchip in my PlayStation. Will that effect PSIO?

• No, nor will it have an effect on the Switch Board.

What about multi-disc games. Can I play games such as Abe's Exodus or Final Fantasy that use more than one disc?

• This will hopefully be released in a future firmware update, but the idea would be that you simply eject and re-insert the SD card to force a disc change.

Can I watch movies/video?

• You can watch video as a Sony STR format in a resolution of 320x256 at 15 Frames per Second in Stereo with 44.1KHz audio (MPEG frames interleaved with XA).

Can I use a Hard Disk Drive to play my games?

• No. The USB port on PSIO is to stream image data only.

What about the PSone/SCPH-900x PlayStation's?

• The PSone (Sony's re-designed mini PlayStation 1) and SCPH-900x series, will not be plug-and-play since they do not have a Parallel I/O port. To get around this, we have a special version that will not include the PIO header connector on the PCB. You will be required to solder 41 wires from PSIO's custom pin design to the PSone or 900x mainboard manually.

When did you start working on this?

• PSIO began as a concept on August 15th, 2010. It is a one of a kind device, and nothing else exists like it.

I can play my games fine on my PS3. Why would someone buy this?

• The PS3 emulates PlayStation games using software. It is inaccurate, glitchy, and the games were never designed to be played like that.

What is the point of this product? I can play my games fine from a disc!

• The PlayStation 1 CD-ROM drive when brand new was decent quality. However, since the consoles launch in 1994, the laser assembly has deteriorated, and it is impossible to find a brand new one. Games now freeze, skip music and sometimes will not load at all due to this fact.

Will you post Worldwide?

• Yes. We ship to almost every country

jo kirkzz'as ir sita turi (everdrive kurejas)

Tikrai saunus dalykas. Aisku mano akimis kas buvo tas buvo, bet kas nores isbandyti senus zaidimus toks formatas ypac patogus.

Bet tik kas nelabai man, kad palaiko tik 32GB. O ką jei aš 128GB turiu SD kortą?

Truputi patogumo pridedes tiems kas tikrai stiprai su PS1 zaidzia, bet vistiek zaidimus reiks siustis, juos talpinti i SD kortele, tilps kokiu tik 50, NES pavizdziui telpa visi kada nors isleisti zaidimai vienoj kortelei. O mano reikmemes tiek kiek as naudoju PS1 pilnai chipuoto pakanka. 

Su senuku didžiuoju viskas gerai. Ten vietos viduj laisvos tiek, kad dar viena kokia konsolė tilptų.  Bet va kaip tą ilituot į vidų PSONE kuris to Parallel I/O porto neturi? Aš kai sau čipavausi psone, tai ir tai vos vietos jam radau. O čia dar ta visa agregata su 41 laiduku ilituot kažkur.

o čia keletas idėjų ką žaistis ant ps1

Na tas dalykas emuliuoja tik CD-rom harware. Pats feel'as lieka autentiškas žaidimo, ne emuliacija, todėl aš tą dar kaip ir užskaityčiau kaip legit. Kaip ir Sega Mega Drive everdrive'ą.

Neblogas dalykas, turint omeny kad originalių lazerių gaut bus vis sunkiau, tiesa, gamina kiniškus, bet ten su mechanika nelabai Aišku jis bus tobulinamas su laiku turbūt, vėliau gal atsiras ir didesnių kortelių palaikymas. Va kad kažką panašaus sugalvotų PS2 konsolėms, kad lošt PS1 išnaudojant tikrą hardware, ne emuliuojant, tada išvis būtų jėga  Bent jau FAT'ams kurie ir taip turi HDD palaikymą gera per network adaptor ir PS2 žaidimų paleidimas jau ten praktiškai 100-procentinis.

Kol bus ps1 lazerių trūkumas, tai greičiau mes būsime mire.

hmm kam su ta SD dare ir dar tokia ribota. koki hdd butu pasijungt galima ir valio . losk viso gyvenimo kolekcijas. bet tai jau nebe orginalus budas zaisti ps1 zadimus. ar jum vis dar cia legit skaitos? bet jei ten viduj yra kazkoks iso loaderis, tai teoriskai pasijungt jau galetum viska. kad ir visa pc prie ps1. 

zaidimus siustis ir isikeldinet kazkur kad pasileist per ps1. 

Tada geriau jau siųstis ant kokio ant kokio pc, psp, psp, vita. Be to kas buvo pajungia ps1 prie hdtv be jokio upscaller, ypač per kokia tulpes tikriausiai vaizdo kokybe nelabai džiaugiesi (pats todėl naudoju ps3 originaliems žaidimams)

kuom skirias nuo ps tv,idomu kuris geresnis

pries metus laiko gavau preorderi susimokejau dar iki siol nepagamino raso kad 96% baigta   pries uzsakant rase kad uztruks bet kad metus laiko nesitikejau prikau gdemu tai pagamino ir atsiunte menesio begyje

parašyk kokie įspūdžiai kai jau gausi
