That is a beautiful system.

QuantumSparkles@sh.itjust.works on 21 Mar 19:26 next collapse

Sweet. Got any games for it? The Legend of Bandicoot maybe?

Flamangoman@leminal.space on 21 Mar 19:46 collapse

Metal Gear Mario perhaps?

Gosh that is slick, wonderful design and looks nearly prestine. Hope it can make it to a museum one day.

It seems that it is missing the play/pause button and the CD tray’s front.

CaptDust@sh.itjust.works on 21 Mar 21:11 collapse

Woah, a CD tray you’re right! I was imagining it slot loaded like a Wii, but I reckon that wasn’t around or too expensive hah. Shame about the missing bits

I noticed it because in the article there is a photo of the previous known Playstation and has something that this one is missing at the front.

That’s a great point, I hadn’t even noticed the absence of UV degradation until you mentioned it. It likely hasn’t seen an undrawn curtain for most of it’s existence

This is, at least for me, the holy grail of videogames relics.

I’m still super fond of the Net Yaroze development PlayStations. This would be cool to have, but I’m not sure what you could do with it.

ShinkanTrain@lemmy.ml on 21 Mar 23:33 collapse

Develop games for the PlayStation

sevenOfKnives@lemmy.blahaj.zone on 21 Mar 21:17 next collapse

i wonder how much hardware is added besides the CD drive…

CaptDust@sh.itjust.works on 21 Mar 21:30 next collapse

I bet it has a killer sound processor

lIlIllIlIIIllIlIlII@lemmy.zip on 21 Mar 22:26 collapse

Take a look at en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_NES_CD-ROM#Technical_…

Ha! Right you are Ken!

Now over to Guy LeDouche with Sinkers and Floaters!

Oh, different Ken?

Sorry.

makingStuffForFun@lemmy.ml on 21 Mar 22:00 next collapse

Play / Pause button is missing.

Sorry mate, the most I can give you is $20. Take it or leave it.

lIlIllIlIIIllIlIlII@lemmy.zip on 21 Mar 22:17 collapse

$30 and its yours.

Cris_Color@lemmy.world on 21 Mar 22:01 next collapse

You should cross-post to !cassettefuturism@lemm.ee! Its not a perfect fit but this is such a beautiful object, I’m sure folks there would love to see it!

lIlIllIlIIIllIlIlII@lemmy.zip on 21 Mar 22:16 collapse

Done, thanks!

Sick, this is a genuinely cool piece of hardware history I wish we had a chance to explore more.

Outtatime@sh.itjust.works on 23 Mar 00:22 next collapse

I wonder what this would go for on auction? 500k?

lIlIllIlIIIllIlIlII@lemmy.zip on 23 Mar 01:32 collapse

The previous one was 360k.

But it says Sony PlayStation on it
