Save money and emulate it on a Pi then?
The Pi's A53s are more powerful than the very low end A35s in this.
OTOH this has 1GB of fairly decent DDR3 memory, 16GB eMMC, comes with a case and some useful buttons, if you can get a Linux onto it.
Buy it for the case, replace the internals with a PI.
Disappointing really, I could just purchase a second hand full sized ps1 off ebay for less and then convert it into an emulation device that would do far more than just ps1 games. Also if I hollow out the controller ports and put usb there (a bit like what they have done with the mini anyway), it could even then take official XBOX360, XBOX 1, DS3 and DS4 controllers.
i think for £89 it's not bad value. Plug and play retro
Depends on how many PSX roms you legally own (i.e. how many you have created by backing up your own legally purchased PSX discs for titles where that is allowed)...Quote:

For me personally £90 is too much to replay 2-3 of the games in that list that I really enjoyed which have not already been remastered on another platform. That said I was always a Nintendo guy at heart so i'm more excited by the prospect of a N64 version ;)
this console is MORE beautiful than the current PS4
Does seem expensive next to the other retro games consoles out there - especially when it's based on an open sourced emulator platform with half the options removed and a weird smattering of NTSC and PAL versions of games...
I'm wondering when someone will try other roms on this
Looks like much more effort than it's worth - I'd be more interested in when the copycat RasPi cases come out, or at least when the bricked ones start popping up on ebay so I can do my ownQuote:
