Just bought one of these bad boys for $35. Got the screen, PSOne

here, i will suck your dick

no homo

ah, good old ps1 slim

>>3838769
OP here I fucked up and forgot half my post.

How'd I do? I've never seen one of these in action but I know they're fairly sought after. I think I got a good deal considering I got the console too.

>>3838769
what game are you playing?

>>3838783
Metal Gear Solid

>>3838769
Nice. I've been looking for the system-LCD combo myself for a while. It makes for a perfect lil' desktop console. Now chip it and have fun.

>>3838791
I always wanted one of these for the GameCube, but I don't know if they're any good. Someday I hope to have screens for all my consoles, it's too bad the PS1 is the only one to get an official accessory.

>>3838834
Kind of genius actually...start a repro modder business where you "switchify" peoples classic consoles with cabinet hinges and used tablets. Normies will love you, and the salt from /vr/ will be delicious.

>>3838834
>I don't know if they're any good
Doubtful. The official PSOne LCD is RGB and as far as I know, none of the third-party ones for other consoles are.

>>3838782
Not bad. I think the main reason people buy them is to butcher them for the screen. As bad as hackaday babies who use donor carts to make EB bootlegs.

>>3838834
I have a few GC ones. They're OK. Not great. I have some Wii ones that are pretty good. The PSOne wasn't the only one to get an official screen. There was one for the navi. Not quite as convenient to set on your lap and run off a battery though.

I rather have a HI-SATURN

>>3839119
hello saturn, how are you today?

>>3839376
Lol. If you'd ever seen one you'd know that screens not an add on. You could have just as well posted a gameboy.

>>3839119
That screen is so tiny I went blind just from imagining playing on this.

>Games are coded for CRT
>Many effects take advantage of this
>OP buys the console with a stupid LCD attached

Wew lad

>>3840356
The PSOne LCD screen connects through RGB at least.

>>3838769
>Just bought one of these bad boys for $35.

I bought a PS3 for $70 the other week.

Poor choice OP. All PS3s can play PS1 games, so you probably should have just gone for one of those instead.

>>3838769
jelly. I always wanted this.

>>3840384
He bought it for the sweet tiny LCD screen, the console was just an extra.

>>3840395
>sweet tiny LCD screen
Are those collectable though? They seem a bit gimmicky to me desu. Even a CRT tv isn't going to set you back much nowadays.

>>3840404
Its collectable if you want one.

Nice. I remember renting one of these from a video store for a road trip, Throw a $5 mod chip in it and go nuts.

from the thumbnail image i thought it was a picture from Goldeneye64

You obviously completely missed the entire point of this sort of setup.

>>3839376
nice moob

>>3838839
It would be awesome and possibly very profitable

>>3840792
>Spotted the underage /v/tard
Only /v/tards accuse others of being /v/tards.

>You obviously completely missed the entire point of this sort of setup.
To give himself eye cancer? Either way it was a bad decision.

Not aborting you was a bad decision. The ps1 lcd screen was kinda cool when it came out. I would actually buy it if i was like OPs deal! Its a fairly rare little collectible. Why are you here?!?!

>>3841023
Top kek kid. I have the same stuff as OP and it's great. Sounds like you're just salty that the DSL with its tiny screen was you first console.

I don't have an exact citation but there was a guy named gramps who said that was how it was done. Obviously someone who calls himself gramps knows a lot more than you do kiddo.

The screen is kind of crappy but it's pretty cool seeing PS1 games shrunk down onto it and neat for playing in bed. I had my PS2 hooked up to one for a time and doing the kerotan stuff in the last sequence was a pain but doable.

>>3838769
Ripping one of these apart and putting a pi inside would be a great idea

>>3842362
or you could just not destroy working things to make reddit memes

>>3842507
Who said anything about working ones?

I've got like 5 with fucked lasers and water damage etc. The screens are hipster-taxed garbage.

>>3842507
This guy >>3842529 is right, the screens are pretty shitty. It's not like it would be ruining some classing antique, just re-purposing a piece of hardware.

I would honestly rather use the case for the Panasonic M2, the successor to the 3DO, but it's unreleased.

>>3842696
>using a literal box as a box for a box
yes

>>3840334
What you'd get blind from is seeing the price tag for one of those complete with the lcd screen.

Dodged a bullet there

You sure he's not on the Soros payrol l, grampo?

Why do you think there are so many """"free"""" crts???

>>3842908
Convert RGB to component, now you have something better than s-video on tv.

God, you are fucking dense.

OP here. Should I sell off my PS1 original model when my PSOne comes in? I already have a PS2 and obviously this now too. It feels redundant enough having just the PS1/PS2 right now.

>>3844896
Depends which model it is.

>>3844937
No clue off the top of my head, it's in storage, but it's a mid-life one with the Serial I/O port but no RCA jacks

>>3844970
You mean parallel port? The golden model seems to be the SCPH-5xxx, if it's that keep hold of it. If it's something else sell it and pick up that model.

Personally I wouldn't rely solely on a PSOne, not with hardware prices currently so reasonable.

>>3844896
Too bad PSOne removed the seriel port, otherwise you could have some fun two console gaming.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PlayStation_Link_Cable

>>3845028
Kind of a moot point these days. The real issue is the missing parallel port, but that was removed starting with the SCPH-700x series.

>>3845047
moot or not, OP was looking for advantages of having two consoles, so I gave him one.

Looks like its an SCPH-7501

>>3844896
Depends how much you can get for it and how much you need that money.

>>3845028
If only there were a way to connect pads on the PSOne PCB to a connector using some sort of insulated copper filament. In theory this might be accomplished by an advanced species who had discovered fire and was able to generate sufficient heat to melt lead. kek

>>3845059
I don't think OP is moot.

>>3845270
Two separate screens is always better than lame top/bottom play. The game would also lag less because it doesn't have to render two different viewports at the same time.

>>3838769
wtf

OP here, she came in today in great shape! I already had a PSone controller from Goodwill so everything's matching quite nicely.
Don't think I've seen one of these in person since they were new and holy shit is it tiny. I love it. The speakers are loud and sound nice considering how small they are. Of course the real advantage here is the headphone jack, CD audio through good phones + RGB on the screen is god-tier.

I play mine all the time. I paid 70 for it at a Trade It but it was worth it. I can play it in bed with the lights out and with my headphones. I like to play Wipeout 3 on it and Final Fantasy VIII & II. I bring it with me everywhere to be honest, especially on business trips. But its best for playing it bed while laying down and just have it on your chest.
