    Finally got around to plugging this in tonight.

    Plugged it up to a 55" but I gotta be honest the whole thing rocks even with the default package and emulator.

    I haven't noticed anything performance-wise that takes away from the games..and even on a 55" the blocky graphics in Resident Evil didn't stop me from crapping my pants when the dog jumped in through the window (my first time playing this game)

    I'm gonna have a blast with this...and probably hack it much later...thanks OP!

    Thanks for that.

    I had just checked the stock checker before I posted that request and it showed out of stock everywhere. Argos must of refreshed the un-collected stock around 8pm... I ,must remember that for the future.

    Cheers.

    Anyone that bought one. It might be time to order an OTG cable. New mod out that lets you plug in a USB and keep both controller ports free at the front...

    4 left in Ilac now... Do they come up often elsewhere anywhere in Dublin - i'd rather not have to trek into City Center... ta.

    You can get the 3 Crash games remastered for the PS4 for cheaper than this.

    Crash has aged badly on the PS1, the remasters are fantastic though and faithfull to the originals in every way possible.

    Can anyone recommend a USB (64\128GB) that you have used for the various hacks out there? Some USB brands require more power than this can provide to reliably read\write.

    There is an easy power mod.

    Use this freeware to measure the power usage of any USB device attached to your computer.
    The download is near the bottom of the page.
    The max power from the PS Classic without any mod is 300mA.
    A 128gb micro SD card with a USB adapter would be a perfect solution.

    Collected one last night in Galway,modded this morning with 102GB games wich I have for years on my PC.Im also using ps3 controller with 8bitDo adapter and its f.ckin great for 36€ .All games I loaded are Us NTSC with 60fps and they look and play fine.

    Downloaded autobleem and a few Roms, plan to give this a crack later. Just wondering about this post above. What's the 8bitDo adapter? Does it allow 2 player on the installed Roms? This probably isn't the place to ask, is there a more appropriate forum for it (PS probably?)
