PS One Portable Screens | Ashens 

When I was a wee lad, a group of teens used to bring their PS1s with these screens to the local Chinese restaurant to hang out and play Tekken. Good times.

I cant wait for the Portable Brown Sofa to release.

When the Logic3 screen was attached, the whole thing looked like a panini press.

I hope someone makes a portable screen for the Nintendo Switch.

imagine if darth vader got his shit kicked in by a single tusken raider

My parents got me this as a kid. I thought it was the coolest thing ever (because it was). I loved telling my peers or showing them my ps1 and saw their minds crumble as they witnessed the novelty. Such an awesome design.

Now, if only we had a portable Ashens...

I like how Princess Leia has a "!" to her name, like it was a surprise she was in the game.

Kinda looks like a toilet when the sony screen is flipped down

Mad Catz didn't get in on that!? That's incredibly surprising.

4am, watching Ashens review old tech. This is the lockdown lifestyle.

The reason this screen looks so clear and has a good picture is because it actually connects to the psone via an RGB connection you can actually see the extra pins on the connect if you look at it and compair it to a standard av cable.

When I moved to a new house back in 2001, I used to play on the PS1 with the Sony screen while we renovated everything. Weeks into it, I came home after school to see that my dad had hooked up our PS2 to the little screen to watch a movie. I was able to catch up with some of my PS2 games before we finally got furniture in. It was a neat little hack but the PS1 had to be on to provide power for the screen.

“You and your loved one can listen to the intro music from Soul Blade, as God intended.”

I got that PS1 with the official screen at a thrift store about 10 years ago for 20 bucks, i still can't believe my luck. That small screen is really amazing.

He's actually Timothy Logic III, son of Timothy Logic Jr., but marketing thought that Roman numerals conflicted with the modern aesthetic of the design.

Love the PS1 startup tone. Back when i were a lad. I had mine hooked up to a Dolby prologic sound system with subwoofer. That startup tune could actually rock the house with its bass line. Awesome memories.

One of my happiest memories as a kid was being able to play Crash Bandicoot 2 in the car on the way to a hockey game. I almost still can't believe they exist.

Imagine a bunch of dudes sitting on the back deck of an Abrams with one of these hooked up to a power inverter, running of the batteries. This was my recreation in 2003. Keeping it dust free was difficult, but what a contraption.

Playing Spyro "portable" was a dream come true for me, I still have mine set up on my desk with the original screen and the small PS1, getting it on the switch is something I wanted since the remastered edition came out, good memories

i'm surprised by the lack of scratches on all those screens

These were really cool on roadtrips, if you had the car power adapter. I remember going on a trip with a friend and being in the back playing PS1 games the whole 6 hour drive.

"Is that in as far as it goes?" - Stuart Ashen, 2020

This feels like a classic ashens video!

Who is this PAL and why does he like low refresh rates

Sony did make a car adapter for the psOne that would power both the psone and the screen, so you could take it on roadtrips.

Ashens, hello! I am an American who has been watching your videos for a very very long time! Since about your channel started. I just wanted to say I very much appreciate that you use the same video format even to this day. It makes me comfortable to always be able to watch your videos. Keep it up! Much love from America.

The design of the PSone kind of holds up to this day. Doesn't look nearly as dated as the grey PlayStation.

I remember actually using one of those 3.5mm TRS (TRRS?) AV jacks back in the day. Our portable DVD player had one and we'd use it to play gamecube games on long road trips.

Fun fact, Logic3 was run by a chap named Edward Logic Logic Logicson, hence the company name.

I'd like to think Ashens is the nice-half of Yahtzee Crowshaw

Play station really did number their game units in an actual order, unlike other game manufacturing companies.

"a little bit fuzzier" *camera completely unfocused, turning everything into a fuzzy mess*

These screens actually bring the resolution to their correct value :D making games more beautiful! PS1 had like 32bit of graphics capacity

So glad you are still releasing videos mate. Your channel really helps get through this isolation. Stay safe and keep up the good work

I remember when I was a younger lad and had joined the British army and living in the block was rather boring plus the little portable TVs could barely get a signal so I stumbled across portable screens for PS2 and bought the screen and a PS2 and back in my block lay on my bunk playing games and watching dvds lol 20 other lads all jam packed around a tiny portable screen....loved the screen at the time saved us from severe boredom

That Logic3 has twice as many headphone jacks as my phone.

Funny how Sony did an actual good portable Playstation before the PSP and Vita

Oh my god you've just unlocked some serious memories with that little circular screen

Schools in the early 2000's loaned out these PS ones with the sony screens. was amazing.

When I was 15 I used the offical PSOne screen to make a SNES portable. I just followed the instructions in Ben Heckendorn's book though :P

Alan Partridge "she has a arm like a traction engine"

The "steering wheel" on that Namco controller looks more like one of those jogwheels which you would see on Laserdisc player and higher-end VCR remotes.

It's 4 AM here in lockdown and I'm in quarantine. Ashens videos are the best medicine for late night Coronavirus insomnia.

How to assemble a toilet in Ashens minutes.

I got that game on day 1. Traded it in at Gamestop. And the fighting style was mentioned in SOLO. What a great trip down memory lane. 👍🤠👌

havent seen your vids in at least a year or two and even then when i heard those intro beeps i still have the skill to say hello on time

I remember as a kid I absolutely loved the idea of this, but I had neither a portable PSone, nor did I get a screen. But still fairly fascinating, when the idea of having something like the Playstation be portable was amazing. I guess I sort of got something very much like it when I got a portable DVD player.

I have an Interact brand screen and I loved it back when I was younger. Has composite input as well so I used to plug in my VCR to watch movies. Chunky unit, light bleed, and flickered every time the disc loaded hard but it was my portable gaming box. I actually took the portability one step further and bought a battery pack for it. It would sit under (with feet holes for the PS One) and plug in the standard DC jack. You were lucky if you got an hour of play fully changed and it stopped working a few months later. It was a crap battery pack. Sure was pretty nifty to teenage me, though!

I recall Kmart in Australia had a non genuine screen and a battery pack for the PS1.. it was $149 and I could never afford nor demand dad bought it for me due to money. Lol but I always wanted it. Gran Turismo 2 anywhere was my dream. Now I've hacked my PSP and can play it anywhere 😁

Those boot up sounds wrap my ears, and heart like a thick blanket. or an old friend visiting to tell stories once more

one of the very few youtubers who haven’t changed after many years. I haven’t watched this channel since the airphone 4 video was released and I’ve never been so surprised at how much a youtuber can stick to how they’ve been for years

For a moment I thought he had brought back the tale of the POP Station yet again..... yet this is surprisingly just as good

6:56 can't find much now for Logic3, but strangely enough they make Ferrari headphones and speakers

really didn’t know if you were still making videos but you were a huge part of my childhood as a “weird” kid who had no close friends. on top of not being allowed to have any friends over, my siblings didn’t play with me when i was a kid because i was into stereotypical girly stuff, so i played dolls alone all the time and watched your videos. they were so interesting and different to my little kid mind lol. thanks for making my childhood so memorable and a little bit better ❤️

I wish I knew this existed back in the days. We used to go to our summer house with my family during, well, summer. And we only had 1 TV which sucked since we could either watch TV or play on my PS2, but of course it was usually the first one. And I wouldn’t have minded the down grade from a PS2 to a PS One if it meant I could play whenever I desired. Also I love tiny game consoles, it feels nice and homey.

Gotta love Tim Logic3. He isn't as stuck up as Tim Apple.

These tiny screens always seemed interesting.

For some reason I like the look of the two big screws on the back. They stand out but still fit with the system somehow.

Liked for "listening to the intro music for soul blade" I literally bang that on once in a blue moon and nostalgia all over myself... and now I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one.

8:46 I thought the screen was glitching at the bottom but that's just the game 😂

Considering the PS1s internal rendering res, it'll prob look really nice due to higher pixel density over a smaller overall screen size.

YOU STILL MAKE VIDEOS WHOA!!! Your videos are part of my childhood

Just as I'm binging on the Ashens Retro Gaming play list at 4am, a miracle upload occurs ❤️

I had one of these for the original Xbox. It was... reliable.

When will we see an Ashens games console? It can feature great titles such as Chanticleer Hegemony, Game Fight, and Space Shoot.

The ps1&ps2 start up always gives me shivers 😩 no better start up sound

ahhh that intro song for Soul Blade was god tier. My brother and I would watch that intro every time to hype us up for some awesome game action :)

Here we go, blessed 4am upload

You just answered the question ive been asking ever since I was a kid, and that is, does this thing really work? I saw these everywhere but never saw one that worked. Thanks for answering my life's biggest mystery! Now I can die

I remember seeing the PlayStation 1 second model with the screen at Toy R Us when I was a young lad and I thought that the future was here! I still want one lol

Always love watching you're content. Hope you're doing well and keep up the good work pal.

let me tell you - as a kid when the little PS1 came out..when you not only asked for but GOT the actual BY SONY screen and you can not only pick up were you left off at home, to beating the original (best FPS for the PS1 and in some cases ever!) Medal of Honor while driving from MA to Ohio and back ......you felt like a god! I loved the little play station and the screen. Perfect size! From Cape Cod, MA - stay safe all and great vid as always sir! Qapla!

Brilliant video Stuart - the original PlayStation was groundbreaking when it hit the stores back 94’ -and for good reason!

2:44 Very nice showmanship in setting up that reveal.

I have no idea how I missed these. I was obsessed with the ps one as a kid, I would have lost my mind if I had known they were a thing

“Don’t know if you can see it on screen, but it’s not quite as clear as the others” Screen immediately goes out of focus

Electronics manufacturers went crazy in the early days of consoles, making all sorts of half-arsed peripherals for them - I have a stereo FM radio for my Sega Game Gears! A completely ridiculous add-on since all it does is use the Game Gear as a power source, it doesn't even output the audio through the Game Gear, you have to plug headphones in!

I love how the footage went out of focus right on cue with you saying "I don't know if you can pick that up on the camera..."

Hello! Wow, your intro reminded me of you old videos of the pop stations. Yes, it's been that long since I've last been on your channel.

Wish I had one of those LCD screens for a GameCube, that and the entire car kit, or something that would let me play it in bed.

The PSone is the cutest console. A console shouldn't be able to be that cute.

nice review, i've been searching for a screen for a long time

The lid flipping up did indeed keep me entertained for hours

I worked with a guy back in the day when the PSONE came out and he was insistent on pronouncing it P-ZONE!!😖😂

Can’t wait to pick up my copy of LSD Dream Emulator. 😂

My cousin had one. Was great playing Tony Hawk 2 and Destruction Derby in 2003 during summer holidays in a rented bungalow with it while your parents prepared dinner after a day at the beach..

You unlocked a old memory from my childhood. I found that competition pro screen flytipped in the woods lol

3 units. I was genuinely confused for a second because I'm like.. *I've got three of them*

I remember thinking the PlayStation would fall flat on its arse when I first heard about it. Yeahhhh...

I used to have one of these for GameCube. Was great on car trips, as well as playing in bed at night when I was supposed to be sleeping

@ashens I had used the original PS1 screen back in the day as a add on hack for a full sized NES that I kept in my school backpack with a 12V Ni-Cd battery back , and a regulator for the screen so I could play Mario Brothers in my free period I had in High School :P this video brings back good memories, thank you.

I just bought a PSOne about the time you posted this apparently. The damn screen cost 3 times what I paid for the system, but one day I'll pick up one of those as well.

So do any screens exist for the original PlayStation model? I have the official Sony screen but I want one for the oh PlayStation

My PSone with the official screen saved what bits of sanity remained to me a few years ago when I ended up in physical therapy rehab learning to walk again... nevermind that I had to request a special "go home and get stuff" trip with a caseworker so I could grab the console and CD folder of games. Previous to that I was drawing on styrofoam cups and hoping Teen Titans Go wasn't a rerun again (I'm 42, by the way). But yes, post-console-snagging, my glorified-nursing-home experience greatly improved. That little unit is seriously handy and has clocked many an hour while becoming concerningly warm to the touch.

For years my parents had different students from different countries stay with us while they did trips with some English Language College. We had a Japanese student when I was a child who brought his playstation and screen attachment. While he was out during the day he would let me play it, I played soooo much Mega Man on it. Loved it. So much nostalgia here.

IIRC, the official Sony PSone LCD screens were also very popular in the modding/hobbyist community back in the day.

Wow never knew they had these and i was from this generation when they were still selling like got cakes even with the ps2 out also didnt know they had then for ps2 as well but i imagine finding properly working ones (including the console) might be harder now still a cool item though

My cousin had one of those and he let me play Jade Cocoon on it once...at Grandmas house on Thanksgiving, actually. It was my first console game experience and I was friggin hooked, I never forgot that day.

I would love to see the portable screens for the other consoles you have. Loved the video
