| + | Sony's pioneering entry into the video games market. Releasing on September 9th, 1995 in North America, the PS1's R3000A CPU, 3 MB of RAM (across 2 purposes), and 16.7 mil colors at resolutions between 256x224 and 640x480 was not the most powerful, but was leveraged very effectively by Sony. Selling over 100 million units, the PS1 set sales records in video gaming and forged a path to come for the PlayStation brand. | ||

The author of this plans to reconstruct the RUNIX memory card filesystem structure, alongside improving video drivers and a few other things. As of 2025 there has been relatively recent commits and boot testing on HW and emulation has been done. However, there still has been no success in reconstructing filesystem structures. |

| - | Sadly, limited in it’s ability at the moment. This is because the RUNIX port requires a missing tool to correctly build rootfs on the PS1's memory card. Otherwise, the port works fine, but it cannot output any graphics from the PS1 (only serial access works). | + | Sadly, limited in it’s ability at the moment.

| + | A game akin to Minecraft Classic, but on the PS1. Still receiving intermittent updates up to at least 2021. Offers quite a lot of blocks. If using a PS1O, one cannot load the CD image version - best to burn it on a disc to receive the full experience, as the PS1O compatible version does not have any audio. | ||

| - | There are two optical drive emulators available for the PlayStation 1, and they have quite the rivalry in the community. The more expensive is the PS1O; the cheaper is the xStation. In short, the PS1O, installed to the parallel port, allows using the original drive, and it can be unplugged in order to free up the parallel. However, it has a very poor DRM system for firmware updates (eliminates easy resale), and reports of both compatibility and company kindness are VERY mixed. It works on any model with a parallel port, and possibly every model w/ difficulty. In contrast, the xStation completely replaces the original drive of the console. However, it is further integrated with other mod peripherals, | + | There are two optical drive emulators available for the PlayStation 1, and they have quite the rivalry in the community.
