great video, i always thought psio was plug n play , very glad i know better meow

@fistbumpbros 20 дней назад

Sadly, not. Theres a plug and play option announced, but that was years ago, from the creator of Xstation. You can find the video on X somewhere.

with some games you wont get sound or may stop at the title screen. you need to use daemon tools lite to mount and convert using image burn to create a 2 files then use cue2cu2 after that you will get sound like in destruction derby and get rayman to run

Nice bro, thanks for the added info!

Where did you buy this clone from? I can only find the official one and its really expensive

@fistbumpbros 4 месяца назад

It's there on Aliexpress. Just type in PSIO, it'll pop up.

I’ve bought an original PSIO from the true creator (CYBERDYNE) of this product, not a cheap Chinese clone, since I support every creator of mods out there. It was rather unsettling that I had to pay double the price. But at least I can update the firmware 👍🏻

@fistbumpbros 4 месяца назад

O yea, to each it's own. Original psio gets you official FW updates, but the community made that Russian FW available which solves most of the problems (some games not working)

@Retro_Rok 4 месяца назад

Yeah. TBH, I always support the original creators/modders of new tech, since it’s their IP in the first place. That’s the best thing to do, really. Not just buying cheap Chinese clones and then rant about how things don’t work (not pointing my finger at you, just so you know 👍🏻). If the creator is an @$$, well, then you are out of luck, I presume.

@JohnSmith-zw8vp 2 месяца назад

I'm pleased as punch the firmware update at long last finally came out...but for whatever reason the second disc (well the iso/rom or whatever or it) of Lunar Silver Star still won't work and I tried a few different ones...what am I doing wrong?

@fistbumpbros 2 месяца назад

It could be that the second ISO might not be working correct.

@amoretpax199 2 месяца назад

Can I buy the PSIO from AliExpress? Where did you get your?

@fistbumpbros Месяц назад

Yes, just from Aliexpress. Just a reminder that it is a clone, so you can't update it with newer firmware, unless you use third party firmware.

@amoretpax199 Месяц назад

@@fistbumpbros Do you know where to get the third party firmware? Thanks!

@fistbumpbros Месяц назад

I have the link somewhere.. but if you Google something like 'psio Russian firmware' you end up on a Russian text based forum. You can use Google Translate to read all the instructions. It's pretty simple as far as I read.

@Sugurain 4 месяца назад

It's actually a little bit faster than CD-Rom, because although the transfer speed is the same as CD-rom, there are no seek times with ODEs. There are videos on youtube comparing Spyro loading times from disc and PSIO, and the PSIO wins by a few seconds. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-qvmvddBe_LM.html

@fistbumpbros 4 месяца назад

Thanks for the info. I checked it with a few games and I found it to be neck to neck with speed.

Noice, you tell it like some rapper dropped a new track 👏

@gravedigger4102 Месяц назад

After this video, I bought myself a clone. Result: only 30% of the games I try work :-(

@fistbumpbros Месяц назад

Ah ok that's a bummer. Most of the 80+ games that i have work.

K bro

@Sam_Giancana_ 4 месяца назад

Is it really worth it though? I mean, half the time it doesn't even work... Yeah nah I need something that's plug and play. Thanks for the info.

@fistbumpbros 4 месяца назад

And you got that info from where exactly? There is no plug and play option for the PS1 console. Xstation needs you to solder as well and you lose your optical drive. Theres the matter of having the correct firmware and the correct ISO files to get the game running. I have 207 games on here and only a handful don't work.

@Sam_Giancana_ 4 месяца назад

I think you misunderstood me? I'm thanking YOU for the "information"... Because of YOU I found out that I have to solder wires and all that stuff if I wanted to get one. You understand?? And you also said that some games doesn't respond to any input. You were very helpful with the "info" . Thanks to you I'm not going to bother chasing the PSIO.

@fistbumpbros 4 месяца назад

Yea, but you said that 'half the time it doesn't even work'.. which isn't correct.

@PureBloodedwolf 2 месяца назад

Xstation is better.

@fistbumpbros 2 месяца назад

Ok cool man let me get that tattoo'ed

@yanghao8351 2 месяца назад

Not all PS1 consoles are compatible with the Xstation. Plus the mod requires lifting very tiny chip pins and you lose your optical drive. I have installed both mods in the past. PSIO is much easier to install.
