Later revisions of the PS2 would begin to software emulate part of the PS1's hardware, but still offer full backwards compatibility. The first model "fat" PlayStation 2 offered full hardware backwards compatibility with the PS1, using the PS1's main CPU as it's IO controller in PS2 mode, and using it directly in PS1 mode. If you want to play the PS1's excellent light gun games today on real hardware, you'll need an older SD CRT to do so.

Even upscaling to a 480p CRT or HD CRT TV wouldn't work, as the sync signals were modified an incompatible. Similarly, the PlayStation light guns all used a sync-measuring system that required a lag-free 15KHz CRT. As mentioned above, playing a PS1 on a modern display can be tricky, as the 240p/480i style resolutions are often dealt with quite poorly by modern TVs. PS1 consoles are still fairy readily available today, although prices are starting to rise like all retro hardware. Here's an example of a game where the speedup didn't happen - Medevil:Ĭompare to a game where efforts were taken to get the PAL version closer to the NTSC version, like Crash Bandicoot: The ratio isn't as bad as the previous 8 and 16 bit generations, but still nowhere near as good as the PS2 era and on. Smaller developers would do direct ports, resulting in many games slowing down on PAL re-release. Typically, higher budget titles would see re-tweaking for speed optimisation. If games weren't specifically designed to be sped up for the PAL release, this would result in a 17% gameplay slowdown in all parts of the game, including gameplay, animation, sound effects, and if the unit used the internal midi/soundfont audio system, the soundtrack too (this didn't affect games with "red book" CD audio streamed from the disc). NTSC runs at around 60Hz in progressive scan mode, compared to PAL's 50Hz. This generation of hardware did suffer PAL slowdown for many games. As a result, more developers would try new styles of games on the PS1, making it a very interesting system. On top of this, Sony were well aware of Nintendo's strict publishing limits on their consoles, and coaxed many developers over with a cheaper licensing system and fewer limits. This resulted in far cheaper game printing, which meant quite an explosion in "experimental" type games that were too costly to risk on expensive ROM cartridges. The PS1 opted out of the more common cartridge format of games, going with only an optical drive. Over the course of its life, the PS1 would see a huge amount of titles released in all regions, however there still were some notable titles missing from both US and PAL regions. The units were region locked, so playing US or Japanese games on a PAL unit required modding of the console. Even with the console being 3D, playing a PS1 on real hardware today is simpler on a SD CRT than it is directly to a flat screen, although the "Retro Display Solutions" thread linked at the top of this post can assist you with scaling hardware if you want to play it on a modern flatscreen TV.

These can be a little tricky to run on modern displays, as some games will mode switch (say, 240p for the game, 480i for cutscenes).

The PlayStation hardware itself could spit out a few different resolutions within the general SD range (various 240p/288p/480i/576i modes, with slight changes to horizontal resolution even within those). Later Sony would release the "PSone" slimmer unit in a smaller packaging with a rounder shape.Īll PS1 games are standard definition, with no options for higher resolution output on real hardware. The first units were the classic squarer shape, with some having additional RCA audio plugs at the rear (these models tend to ask a high fetching price today for their extremely high CD audio playback fidelity). The console saw a few different hardware revisions.

Unlike Sega and Nintendo, the current market leaders, Sony wouldn't bother aiming at a younger audience, and marketed their console hard at gamers who were younger during the 8-bit era, having grown up and wanting a more "mature" offering. They bypassed the 2D generation all together, and would be the words first true 3D home console. This was Sony's first solo effort at a console, after a few hardware partnerships designing chips and components for other companies (and the notoriously sour deal with Nintendo). The west would not see it until almost a year later with US and EU releases in September 1995, and poor old Australia waiting until November 1995 for theirs. The Sony PlayStation (sometimes referred to as the PS1, PSone, or PSX) was released in Japan in December 1994. All talk of resolutions, PAL vs NTSC and upscaling are covered in the Retro Display Solutions thread.
