The PSX Is The Craziest PS2 Ever Made

In 2003 Sony decided to create the ultimate media box for the living room called the PSX. In it they packed a full PS2, digital recorded and DVD burner as a do everything box. Unfortunately it didn't work out and only lasted on the market for a year before being discontinued. Today I wanted to take a look at the system and see what happened.

before launch in 1994 that's what Sony Japan was calling it as it's project name, so it caught on with the Playstation magazines at that time. The PSX might not count to the older fans as that thing above came out in the 2000s and didn't last

@TrimeshSZ 4 года назад

@@MrVidification It was also used in lots of places in the developer tools. The 'C' compiler supplied with the devkit was called "ccpsx", the assembler was called "aspsx", the program you ran to display debug output on the development card was called "psxcons". And the directory all the platform specific tools were installed to was called "psx". And if you burn a CD without a system.cnf file on it, then the boot ROM tries to boot a file called "psx.exe" (obviously, you need a debug console or a modchip for this to work). Interestingly, the name on the very earliest documentation I ever saw was written as "PS-X" - and this is also used in the executable file header - the magic number used is the ASCII codes for the string "PS-X EXE".

No chance of fixing the laser with an oscilloscope? I remember back in like '02-03 I came into ownership of a PS2 that had a wonky disc drive, so naturally I took it apart to see if I could do anything to fix it. Upon inspection of the laser module I noticed a small dial on the bottom. Researching these things (as I'm sure you remember) was a bit tricky back then but I read that if I had a 'scope it would have been easy to "tune" it. Of course being 15 at the time, I didn't have access to an oscilloscope so I ended up just turning the dial a tiny bit at a time and testing it over and over until I found the sweet spot that read most of my games on the first try; it always struggled on them Blue Discs though...

You better take care of that harddrive. It is married to the system and there is currently no method to remarry a new one. The system will die if the harddrive dies.

@DoppelgangerPlayer 4 года назад

@@sheepsnoopshep that's completely different, burned is piracy, now if the HDD fails ( which they do quite frequently) then you should be able to simply put a new one, just like you do on ps3 and ps4. thank god sony didn't do the same mistake with the ps3

That puny heat sink is a perfect example of Sony cheapen out on the most important things in their electronics

@CreatorPolar 3 года назад

And the worst thing is that they put a shit heatsink into a premium console that definetly costed more than 500$

@@CreatorPolar actually no the heat sink is beast on the PlayStation 5 i can see that heat sink being more than enough for most games i bet they cheeped out on the disc drive and the SSD for the ps5 like they do with all of their consoles

The short name of Playstation was PSX from 1994 until the PS2 was released. It could only be a "PSone" when there's a PS2.

I remember reading about these when they were coming out in Japan, and really hoping they would launch in other markets. A Sony PS2 that was also a digital TV receiver/recorder and DVD burner - that would be a no-brainer. PErfect home entertainment hub. Sadly, they never released outside of Japan. So I looked forward to the backwards compatible PS3. Then they removed the PS2 chips. Still, I have a PS3 Slim, and coupled with the PS3's Freeview box, it's a pretty good home entertainment hub. I can record live and scheduled TV onto the PS3's hdd, and watch it back. I can even copy it to USB sticks. The only thing I can't do, it burn it to a disc, sadly.
