Apparently, you can easily access the PlayStation Classic emulator settings

This is great news. Why is everyone groaning about it? Of course Sony will not openly say "Here's a box that you can emulate! Now some words from our partners...", but this is good that it's a generic emulator with quick way to mod it. Hope this trend continues for future Classic consoles, and I will continue buying them if they're open source without declaring it one.
Because you literally are just better off emulating it for free and they charged you money for this. Also I guess since it only works with a high end brand mechanical keyboard that's easily worth the same price (if not double in some cases), not THAT accessible at the moment.
And also despite everything, the default emulator still isn't running the regular games properly.
PS Classic requires a Corsair K70 keyboard, a candle lit bath, a 1960 Bordeaux and some the finest oils to access the developer menu. Very specific set of rules before it opens itself up. It is called classy for a reason.

I noticed this too when im watching GB's unboxing and test
Lmao I choked a bit on my coffee. This should teach me to keep beverages away from my desk while browsing ERA.
Sony got their inspiration from FROM software...and the archaic logic in their gameplay systems (world tendency? How does the pose stat in ds3 works?)
I guess the Corsair Keyboard is not whitelisted but they have a blacklist of device- and model ids, that's what is usually done to prevent other devices. So there might be a USB blacklist for devices but they are missing the id from this Corsair keyboard, thus it's working.
It's probably the keyboard the apprentice used to make the system.
So, this thing is going to be hacked by the time I rise & shine.
I'm now tempted to purchase this console.

I like the first response in the twitter thread in the first post of someone saying they're going out to buy a $100 mechanical gaming keyboard so they could try it on this.
Wow. Just wow.
And I'm not even considering the prices I'm reading. :-\
Wait till someone hacks a Raspberry Pi to think it's a Corsair K75 and then hooks it up to a PS Classic.
I used to force PAL Saturn games into 60hz. The results varied from game to game.
The ones with no PAL optimizations usually ran the best and displayed at full screen. Games that had been optimised would run too fast and parts of the screen would get cut off.
Doesn't make this piece of shit any better.
Hilarious how blurry and soft and just bad the picture on a 1080p screen is while it's razor pixel sharp on a PS3. I wouldn't even spend 5 bucks on this.

Whats more likely? They outsourced precious history to an incompetent company or is Sony just incompetent themself? Probably both.
Funnier than that, this isn't even a mod, it's like that by default. :lol
The fact that it's that easy to access though, wow!
You don't need even modders for that. It's already built-in.
Goes to show how much effort Sony put into this lol
Dunno man tried some cheap chinese food and 6 pack of beer and still works.
not quite what you're hoping for, but it was quite a revelation for me

The settings is one thing but the method to get then is dumb. This whole project is a fucking mess
You can argue the same for the NES and SNES but they at least bothered to optimize their emulator and have features that weren't hidden in a dev menu.
Yeah, that's the feature I was thinking of 😊 Does this work on the classic now perhaps?
Remember that everything to do with the PS Classic has to be done in ARM.
That's what the people on the youtube stream claimed to have. I searched for it a few times and only came up with a K70 or a K95. Both of those work though.
You would think that, right? Several of us tried with many different keyboards and came up empty for the most part. An old Logitech G15 I had lying around let me adjust some settings via pre-bound macro hotkeys weirdly enough but not access the full menu. It is bizzare.
So, they should give PS Classic just "for free" because of this? Ok :)
I have no knowledge of how PGXP works, just saying that the very reason they used PCSX ReARMed to begin with was because there were so few emus based on ARM. So I'd assume PGXP would likely have to be worked on for that.
Of course I'm not saying this. I was responding against you implying that the games' inherent value can absolve the Classic's cost in the state it's in. What I mean in the first place is that the fact they're selling this product at the price it's at with so many QoL features just hidden behind a BIOS purposefully out of reach by the regular consumer, not emulating the games as well as original hardware, and all the other problems, it's sorta nonsense.
Would you like it if I said they were overcharging for it instead? Cause they're charging for a high end toy and what you get, as a consumer, is a novelty that doesn't work as well as it should.

Dark1x, If you do throw your classic out the Window, make sure you film it and upload the unedit footage as the next episode of DF Retro.
This kind of option doesn't switch the game to the actual NTSC version, but merely forces the PAL versions to run in the NTSC format, e.g it speeds the games up by roughly 20%. Whether this works well, is usually case by case. Some games run well, others can suffer from a wide range of issues like graphical glitches and the likes. No idea whether it works well with the games included in the PS Classic.
When games are actually optimized for PAL (even badly) this could lead to a whole other set of issues as well. Like running games or music too fast.
Am i the only person who thinks they should have, and easily could have, given us the PlayStation Classic in the form of a Vita TV in a special playstation classic shell, with these 20 games pre-loaded, but also the ability to pop into PSN and buy more PS1 games. Heck they could have left in the PSP and Vita compatibility and it would have flown off store shelves. All it needed was a shell that looked like a classic PSX and the classic controller.
Instead they probably spend a few hundred thousand designing this piece of garbage that ultimately cost them a few pennies less in the short term, but millions more in the long term.
Missed opportunity.
Blacklisting drivers.
Some people are saying Corsair and Logitech so far work.
If they didn't have any more spares Vita boards it could be an expensive bitch to reprint those (or maybe just not possible) with outdated components.
