The Playstation Classic has reached a point now that it's a greater (and simpler) emubox than the Raspberry Pi 3.

Neat! It looks like in general the thing kinda flopped, I've seen some close to me for very cheap and never picked them up because of the reception being so negative.
I still have a hacked PSP I pull out very infrequently to play stuff, and a hacked Vita I almost never use so I'm actually getting oversaturated with ways to play Mario World for the 9th time though

The Nvidia shield TV is pretty much my go-to for emulation at the moment with the added bonus of being a highly competent streaming device. Ultimately it's much better than the Pi, Snes or PS classic with more uses and super easy BT controller setup. The only prohibitive factor is the price and set up time, but you do get alot more bang for buck.

A modded switch is going to be about on par with an Nvidia shield, so no. But there is currently a $250 difference in price between the two....
That would be out of the HDMI spec as far as I know, so pretty sure that's impossible.
How's it even in the same ballpark? It's not even portable never mind the remaining functionality.
But with current sales it costs 1/10th of the Switch.

Default UI, no. You can load the games into retroarch and use shaders there.
Yeah, it's pretty fantastic. I've been getting a ton of use out of mine. So easy to mod and some of the home themes people have made for it are really neat as well :)
Bought. 40 Euros is really nice with the two controllers included. I only need the option for network and Bluetooth down the road to make it perfect for me.
Do there exist any straight-up, out of the box guides to getting this thing hacked and playing my dumped PS1 games?
This is a fantastic pitch, the price on them keep dropping and i think £20 might be my biting point. I'm a sucker for OCD and having a nice interface that gives you a premium feel. The launch UI was pathetic really and you'd expect some value from that right out of the box for the price they launched at. I think i'll happily settle for the default controllers too as most of the titles made analogue sticks pretty redundant for the most part like you say, might get a USB extension cable to compensate for the short cable.
Only question is, due to one USB port obviously needing your flash drive for the hack & games, that means you have to forfeit being able to play local multiplayer too right?
I google around and apparently you can use usb hub to add more usb port
Can the PSClassic emulate Playstation games at full HD? What about other emulators? What's the maximum possible resolution?

Follow any guide for autobleem. It's 95% dead and drop with the only step not is formatting the USB to be named SONY
You can run games in double resolution, but a lot don't play well with it. This isn't a good option for upressing games, though there are plenty of shaders that can give some really great results.
What's the largest compatible USB drive that is just the little nub/compact variety at this point?
I'd like to get something that's 128GB or better, but I don't want something that does jut out from the Classic so that it's easy to just toss in a bag and take with me when I travel.

feels like psp again where the homebrew scene gave psp more or new purpose to surge. now for psc
I haven't done this yet, but I've watched a couple of YouTubers use a USB hub for this.
I have heard that 128GB sticks are the biggest that have been confirmed so far, but I only have a 64GB myself. That's plenty for me though as I have 107 games on mine. Just be mindful of the fact that USB 3.0 sticks draw too much power and won't work. You have to have USB 2.0. Everyone says Sandisk is the best bet and that's been my experience as well, though I've only tried 3 different brands based on what I had lying around the office.
I'm still running off mid December bleemsync but would like to change it over to the new autobleem stuff, how hard is it? Also link to current autobleem?
I would really like to see benchmarks of rpi3+ against this chip. I mean, broth are really cheap choices either way for emulation and can do 16 bit easily. PSX is just the icing on the cake.
Link to the adapter?
For the games, what resolutions can be played? Are there filter options like AA or textures? Can patches like fan translations or other hacks be applied?
a PI will cost more upfront between case and not including controllers. You'd need an SD card but you also need specific USB drives for the PSC right now so that's a wash.
Honestly, i'd hold on getting a PSC for hacking until the Bleemsync OTG update hits. It should broaden the compatible USB drives and also free up the two front USBs for easy 2 player use.
Pi 3b+ has a more mature scene but also its hit its potential cap pretty much. PSC seems like its a bit beefier but is still very much in the early days of its scene
My thought too. So lack of low-res 240p video is a pretty major con, for some of us, for emulating on the PS Classic vs. a Raspberry Pi.
For a complete novice who has never one used a Rasberry Pi, modded a console or done anything remotely like this, is it possible? I have a PS Classic on order now that it is half price and never really wanted to do anything like this on my snes or nes classics but might be willing to give it a shot in this one.
All I really want is a few old Nintendo and Sega games that were not on any of the classic consoles or collections

Yeah it's pretty easy. I can't recommend this video enough if you're feeling a little nervous about it. Step by step with visuals that made it pretty simple to do. I had a bit of trouble following the written instructions, but when I followed the video things went smoothly. One warning is just make sure you have a non-3.0 usb laying around. An oldie will even work.
PS1 and N64 run well, and anything before. DC games will run but it is more hit and miss. GC games (well, I've only tried Fzero GX) will run but aren't really playable. PSP runs well.
Wii/PS2 I doubt will run well/at all.
Are we just supposed to know what an Asus TB is intrinsically? A Google search is pulling up a thunderbolt 3 expansion card.
I'm seriously considering pulling the trigger and getting a Classic now.
How easy would it be to rip my PSOne collection of disc games into a playable format? I haven't ripped a proper ISO In ages, so what program comes recommended to do so?

In terms of power it should run circles around the pstv but I guess the psx emulator from Sony is better in general than pcsx.
Can it run Codename Tenka? On Pi it's impossibile because of Memory Card warning (Tenka runs only if there is no MC on slot 2)
