And the 30th anniversary of the playstation too

@libreleah

I read that and thought "surely you mean the PS4 and PS5, maybe the PS3 cos we have the firmware signing keys".

But the PSX?

That's crazy but really cool - kinda silly if you would then use it to run only proprietary games though.

@gwennelsonuk well there is PsNee, which is an opensource modchip firmware that runs on arduino.

i suppose you could theoretically reduce a lot of that complexity by rewriting it for rp2040 or something.

there's picostation, which is opensource firmware running on an rp2040. does optical disc emulation on the real console, letting you boot from sd card.

finally, there is github.com/Lameguy64/PSn00bSDK open source devkit

modchip still ideal to defeat the mechanon wobble check; can disable from bios
