1 Year With The PlayStation xStation Mod! - theaffroshow

That's a early PAL European model, you could see the revision model at the back with SCPH-NNNN, N refering to the Number on the back It's pretty cool to see modded PlayStations, even custom case mods like transglucent color versions of it, it's wild and simply amazing to find these. I wish more PlayStation modding were existing as it's quite exciting to see people custom make stuff for it.

If you are simply trying to play games from other regions or playing back of copy of games from a regular CD-R copy of a game that you've personally backed up, then I'd suggest either buying a American, Japanese/Asian console to play other regions. Plus, I would recommend playing on a soft modded memory card to be able to play any game that you personally have backed up. Due to legal issues.

For all things else, emulation is also available, but yeah, it's really fun to see this in action. I personally have a memory card with a soft mod, meaning the original hardware is not tampered with but in software it writes a temporary fix into memory and allows the console to play backup copies of games which is well needed for preservation purposes as disc rot becomes a real problem and the only way to play old games in the future will be to have backup copies of CD-R discs available.

I enjoyed the video, thanks for sharing.

Nice, great choice! Avoid PSIO! ;)

Still enjoying the discs on mine. But will probably be switching to a mod unless we get a analogue playstation or someone starts making good quality replacement drives.

Classic is 10x better when modded. Silly bro!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love the chapter heading "Remember it's still a PS1".

I'll be honest, I just bought a PS1 to re-live the nostalgia of my younger years, got the tonyhax memory card, got a CD burner, got the CD-RWs, and it started out great until I realized most of my backup games weren't working. I'm getting error messages up the wazoo. It's been a headache. I'm considering doing this.

We need one for PS2! Xstation PS2.

How does one load the sd card with games?

i am looking all over the place about the xstation, i found on ebay for 390 euros, the ps1 WITH the mod, but since its so expensive i really wanna know if its worth it, on stone age gamer i builded my own ps1 with it but it was like 400 euros as well, i am conflicted what to do, i really want the ps1 with xstation but its so expensive, i am worried for sure and fearing making the wrong decision

Thanks for the video, it really helped me decide to go for the xStation in the end 😄

Here's a new video, my thoughts on using an xStation modded PlayStation!
